Saben mentioned pheremones down in the perfect boy thread. That brings up a subject that I have often wondered about. The scent of a woman is a big thing for heteros. Is there an equivalent scent of a man that is attractive? One of my earliest memories involves a male scent. I must have been 4 or 5. There was a big boy neighbor who liked me...he was probably 15-16. He used to take me for rides on his bike. I used to wrap my arms around his waist and bury my face in his white t-shirt and breath in the fresh sweaty smell. I loved it. Was I just a weird little kid, or is the "scent of a man" a reality? If you think it's real, how would you describe the smell?

It's real all right, Macky. In the last twenty years I've lost most of the scent of smell I once used to have, but I think I remember it and I'd call it acrid.
One of the bad things about the world today is the fear people have of the smell of people. It seems that all my children's generation use deodorants all the time and are bringing their children up to do the same.
I never have and am glad of it. Isn't it the same in the USA? Doesn't everyone use deodorant?
Love,
Anthony

No, I wouldn't call it acrid. I might call it musky. Whatever one calls it, it certainly is not repulsive. But, like yours, my sence of smell is not as acute as it used to be. BTW, I have heard that one of the early signs of Alsheimers is diminished sence of smell. Yes, deoderant is pervasive in the USA. But I have never used it. I eat very little meat. I think heavy meat eaters have more of a need for the stuff.

I am sure you are right. I do not like the innate scent of women, particularly during menstruation. I do like the odour of boys' changing rooms, though some would find it unpleasant. Some men's natural odour is great, a turn on even; others' is revolting. I still have boyhood memories of repulsive garlic on the Paris metro.
Anecdotally it was said that during World War II Germans found it hard to hide because of a peculiar 'German smell'. I can remember this smell from my first visit to Germany in 1962, but by 1965 when I worked in Germany for the summer, and that was among rough hewn men, the smell had disappeared and I've never noticed it since. Btw, East Berlin and East Germany had its own particular smell, but that went with the Wall.

Women tend to smell of cosmetics. Plus fish.
Ah the smell of a man... so hard to capture.

"Ah, Grimsby, this is where I get out." The punchline to a very old and revolting joke which many will recognise, and if you don't, you won't want to hear it. For non-British readers Grimsby is an important fishing port.

That's an interesting question you posed, Macky (got your name right this time::-)). My boyfriend of youth had mostly a marajuana scent which I found rather pleasant because it was of him. A guy I had sex with quite a few times had no particular scent but his was quite different from my first boyfriend. His scent was more sexual than sweet and I really had a great time sniffing. Most other guys were soapy or perfumey scents which I rather enjoyed. Only one boy I had sex with had that musky scent which I really didn't enjoy much. And thank God my wife doesn't have that fish scent. She bathes regularly and cares for her overall hygiene.

Wasn't this a TV series by Jacob Bronowski some 30 years ago?

I used to find the lanolin scent of a guys scalp pleasant. Better than the shampoo or hair dressing that, although pleasant, do not have the bodily allure of a nice natural smelling head of hair. And if I might get a bit earthy here, the smell of semen was a turn on too. But you know, nothing was as fragrant as the fresh sweaty smell of the big boy who befriended me when I was a tot of 5. I was really into the sense of smell when I was tiny. I can recall sniffing my brother's clothes when he changed after school. That was a special smell of children mingled with chalk dust, pencil shavings, and the smoke from the coal fired furnace of a one room school house. I must be part blood-hound. But my sense of smell is not so acute now. So I love it when my wife douses herself with perfume. I need stronger scents in order o be able to detect them.
