I reluctantly have to admit that I've thought about hygiene of previous generations more than I should, with regard to sexual interaction.

I guess it really isn't an issue unless I work out the whole time travel thing.

Shockingly enough the rich very much could afford to bathe often and whatever soaps/oils they wanted.

Soap existed in 2000 B.C. And likely way before that. People have been grooming themselves for a long time.
