Don't people generally adjust to smells they're around all the time?

Humans didn't evolve noses until around 100 years ago. So it was a non issue.

They probably just didn't notice it. Also, really depends on when and where. They did anything from bathe in the river to sit in a large container of water, to dump it on their head an so on. Soap, or some variant of has existed for thousands of years.

So it really, really depends.

They took baths, some more than others, it actually got kind of political.
Lots of perfume, too.

It would be like having sex with a real dirty, smelly person every day.

That's why you don't have sex unless you feel you really, really need it.

Depends on which society you are talking about. A lot of people throughout history bathed at least semi-regularly. The idea that they didn't is kind of overblown, based on a few select exceptions.

The Middle Ages were actually more hygienic than the Early Modern Era. That's when beliefs on bathing really went backwards.
