How often have you been with someone that you just couldn't get enough of their natural scent? To the point of smelling them was enough to get you started? Where you start stealing clothing items to carry the scent with you? You get mad when they bathe too soon before bed?

Oh, it's WAY good. Like PB&J sammiches. Pheromone recognition related to hot-hot previous experience.

HA! I've almost got you saying sawwiches.

I also have fond memories of scents. Scent is the sense with the closest ties to memory, too.

PonyPotato

Yes, definitely.

Haven't stolen any clothing yet, though. Key word being YET.

I feel sorry for the woman that one day steals my underpants.

I smell like fish. I hope she likes seafood.

I love the way a woman's hair smells. I could bury my nose in a headful of a beautiful woman's hair all day.

I dated a girl that always smelled like stale booze and cigarettes... I was glad to see her go.


But I did date this girl that smelled like vanilla... if a girl walks by with that similar scent... I get all bothered. Fuck... at this point any girl could walk by and I'd get all bothered.

My goodness, yes. Yes, yes, yes.

After we parted ways sexually, I still found it incredibly hard to be around him, regardless of what good friends we were, just because of his smell. I'd get a whiff and find myself squirming in my seat, uncomfortable because I couldn't control my body's reaction to his scent.

I still like his smell.

My wife always sleeps in my tshirts when I am away on travel. I can't say that I find her smell arousing per se but it sure is comforting.

Follow-up question. If you have experienced this...how many times has it happened out of all of your partners?

jewels

My answer is the same as onesnowyowl and I've only had the scent-attachment with one.

I've had the scent attachment to a couple, but the scent driving me absolutely wild only with one.

I purposely use my SO's towel after showering because he loves my scent.

When he isn't spending the night at my place I sleep with his pillow just so I can feel/smell him all night.

I have had this same reaction to him and maybe another partner. On top of this I have a shirt my Grandfather wore before passing that still smells of him 4 years later. I take it out every now and then when I miss him.

Personnaly it's her pillow, when I do a nap in the afternoon (she's not with me then) I like to fall asleep with the scent she left on the pillow

Shauk

I smell like this.


You all can come to seattle to try it out.

cyklone

Napoleon was reported as having sent a letter to his wife Josephine, "I'll be home in three days, stop bathing." That woman must have had some incredible natural odour.

Starkizzer

Most nights im2smrt4u sleeps at my place, on those nights I sleep on the side closest to the wall. (Small bed) On the nights that he does go to his own place I sleep on his side and tuck the sheets as close to my face I can so I can breathe in his scent. Helps me fall asleep.

Scent is big in my family. My ex asked for my panties a few time over the years to sleep with when I was away; and it was just yesterday that I washed Intellectual Martyr's pillowcase, but not before inhaling deeply. I might have licked it a little.

allaboutmusic

Are girls really cool with that kind of thing?

girldetective

allaboutmusic: I don't know that it is necessarily true that girls are cool with that kind of thing. I was cool with that, with my ex. The context was playful and flattering, somewhat romantic. If it had been some weird ass bicycle-seat-smelling thingy I would have felt differently.

Alright, yes, I did lick it, but just a taste. It had that distinctive rose scent that he carries.

Crack

That is sweet and gross at the same time!

The ones that I have fond memories of, I still remember they smell divine. They all did.

The ones that I don't remember much, I also don't remember thinking that they smell that good.

What an insight.. perhaps it is true that attraction is from the nose, not the eyes. And that's why some hot chicks are "just not our type" and some mediocre ones are.

levite

Oh, dancin' baby Jesus, yes! I mean, like the scent of hot girl sex quite a bit, no matter whose-- I enjoy sniffing my honey during oral, and I dig collecting panties and stuff (although I'm not a major freak for it, it's just a casual guilty pleasure).

But certain girls that I've been with have just driven me wild with their scent. My last ex, and this one girl in college especially, I could smell them coming from a hundred yards away. No one else seemed to be able to detect it, but especially with the girl in college, I didn't even have to see this girl, just get a whiff of her scent, and BOING! Compass pointing North. It was just unreal.

My personal belief is that certain people are just incredibly sensitive to certain compositions of pheromones. Probably not a coincidence that the girls I've been with whose pheromones I was sensitive to were the ones with which I had the most outrageously hot sex.

Kaimi

Ah yes, I have been there. I used to wear his shirts to bed all the time.

LoganSnake

I feel like I'm missing out on something. Never had a scent attachment to anyone.

My sig-oth has quite a few pairs of my worn panties he likes to keep around. Especially from significant get-togethers. He's sentimental that way.

As for myself, oh yes, I am quite aware and attached to 'personal scents,' as well.

Just a friendly reminder and shameless plug, if you don't get enough "you smell good" in your life, I have a cologne thread in Tilted Life that's fallen off the first page.

vancityboi

oh my, im one of those person that loves natural scent. or sometimes when they use this lotion enough that it just becomes part of their scent.

and yes ive come to the point that i've asked to "borrow" a shirt of hers to sleep with so i can still smell her when im at home. but as soon as it gets washed i return it right away to steal another one.

oh btw..NO ive never borrowed/stolen underwear/lingerie. i've always stolen/borrowed shirts...thats just beyond creepy..

ive only done this with gf's that i can trust since i know as a guy its a pretty wierd habbit.

I like the way I smell, and the way I smell. Stress stinks only to remind us of what we don't want.

I have never met a man whose natural scent was appealing. I've definitely been attracted to colognes, deodorants, soaps, and shampoos. Never ever ever had an appreciation for the scent of all-out unbathed male. Yuck oh my goodness yuck yuck yuckie pukeness.

I think there is a difference between a person's natural scent, and the odour from stale sweat left unchecked for days on end.

mandy

WOW...i do this almost every single night now since i found out that it helps me fall asleep and stay that way

and the scent attachment only ever with healer ... i'll ask him to bring a jacket or top with him when he comes over and i'll give back the one he brough like a week before.

i absolutely loooooove his scent...i smell him all the time sometimes just randomly while walking in a mall or sitting on the couch...i cant wait to married so i can smell him all the time!!!

*sigh*

I'm totally with you on that, Shaindra.

The right smell can get you turned on almost instantly for sure. I can think of a couple guys I've dated... when they got home from the gym, I would literally have to jump them there and then if they came over to give me a kiss before they hit the shower (or join them).

Shaindra

Bingo. A person's natural scent is what you'd get after a few hours or maybe even a day of normal activity. If someone goes days without bathing, that's a whole 'nuther ballgame.
