Have you ever noticed?

Have you ever noticed the smells your body produces?

No I'[m not talking the smells it proiduces when we are sick, I'm talking about the smells it produces while we are healthy. Those smells the others may notice, those smells we notice on others.

Run a finger behind your ear at the end of the day and give it a sniff. Do the same to the area alongside your nose. Does this turn you off?

Forget the usual suspects on bodily odor. The feet, the pits and the groin are well known places for scents. How about the others?

Have you ever smelled someones hair and gagged?

Have you ever smelled someones hand when they were wearing a large ring and started choking?

Or do these scents turn you on?

What bodily scents, other than the usual suspects grab your attention?

Interesting post.

I had to wear a half cast for a few weeks, and when I took it off, I encountered quite the amazing smell. Spoke to a few people who had worn casts, and they all had this too. But I started thinking about it; what if that's what we really smell like, but it's normally too mild for us to smell because we wash and the smell is dissipated by air and whatnot?

Its a topic Ive thought about a lot. Like i said...the smell of a womans sexy foot turns me on. So does a clean Vag.....but we are supposed to like that smell.

The scent of a woman.....feet or anything else is taboo, and considered weird to say the least.

Well lemee tell ya. Sometimes vag smells weird too.

lol

Yeah, when I cut my finger and had a partial cast on-- my hand smelled like dirty feets, it was very annoying! Very vinegar-y.

I tend to like a lot of body odors, though. Sweat off of someone who's been working hard-- I love that, and I like it on myself-- especially since I hardly ever get to work like that at this time.

Scurf, bellybutton oil, dirty hair... it's all a matter of quantity, it can be intriguing, if not actually enticing-- and nauseating if too large an amount. Which makes sense when you think about it. These proteins are waste materials, but they are also tribe markers, from back in our most primitive days. maybe.

I lurrrrrrrrrve the smell of hubbys hair and scalp, and the sweet smell in the curves and hollows of his neck.
He loves the smell of my hair and scalp, too. I know this, because I often find him sniffing me when I'm not looking
Guess it's a pheromone thing.

The SO keeps telling me she loves the way I smell. I consider that a curious comment. I shower with soap (Irish Spring) and wear standard Mennen deodorant. I don't wear cologne (never really liked it, to be honest). Usually, when she makes a comment about the way I smell, it's after I come home from work, and most of the soap and deodorant has worn off. She'll hold me close and inhale deeply, then make an affectionate murmur and wrap herself around me.

For myself, I appreciate the fact that she doesn't wear lipstick or cologne, and she applies only basic makeup when we go out. Her natural aromas are very exciting to me -- but I could be biased; after all, I am in love with her -- and not just the tell-tale scent of her when she is aroused. I love the taste and smell of her skin, the flavor of her fingers, navel, and the inside of her cheeks. It varies a bit depending on her diet, but I have to say that the very first time I went down on her . . . .

I was hooked.

When my soap, Irish Spring, mixes with my shaving cream and aloe lotion (for my head) my wife says I smell like ginger snaps.

Have you ever noticed that guys seem to be a lot smellier than women?

Yesterday I read this article on "odourprinting". Scientists believe that each of us can be identified by our smell, and that each is unique as our DNA. They're working on a way to use our natural scent as a sort of smell fingerprint.

I wonder how much a body really smells. How much of what we think of as the smell of hair and skin (which can be pretty appealing in the right amounts) is actually the hair and the skin, instead of random stuff that sticks to us on a daily basis?

I have more than a passing interest in all things olfactory. I've been dabbling in perfume-making for awhile now, and the fragrances I've been able to develop have been pretty good. I have done some studies on the effects of various smells (mostly essential oils) on the opposite and the same sex and have seen interesting results. Anyway, I love the sense of smell and view it as the chief sense organ for sexual magnetism.

It's also the chief sense associated with memory. More than sound or taste.

In Henry VIII's time, bathing was a once-a-year ordeal.

Clothes were worn, put away, worn again and rarely if ever washed. Some nobles carried pomanders to cover the stink of their clothing and to eradicate the foul smell of the peasantry.

In Victorian times, imagine the smell underneath a crinolined (hoop) skirt when the wearer washed their body perhaps once a month. Clothes storage furniture was small if they existed at all in most people's houses. Many people had no change of clothing that could be washed/cleaned when not in use because their clothes were ALWAYS being worn.

When soldiers were demobbed in the UK in 1945 and later they were given one suit, three shirts, three vests, three pairs of underpants etc. That was considered enough for a whole week's wear. For some demobbed soldiers the demob outfit was more clothing than they had ever owned before the war.

When I started commuting men's suits were worn day in, day out, for months before being dry cleaned. Men's shirts and women's office wear was "freshened" with clean cuffs and collars sometimes as often as twice a week. Schoolgirls had panty-liners to freshen week-old knickers. Everyone stunk. We didn't notice.

Personal odours are now much less stinky.
