Is your partner attracted to your natural scent? (it is a turn-on and/or comforting)

Asked by Jude (32198points) January 18th, 2011

Was discussing this with my S/O this past weekend. She is very much attracted to my natural scent. Sure she likes me after I am all squeaky clean (following a shower), but, it’s the au natural scent that bodies gives off, that is the one that she prefers. Her favorite spots to catch that scent: back of my neck, inner thigh and the big one? (with my arms by my side) – the armpit area. She likes to nuzzle in there. Especially, first thing in the morning. At first, I found it odd.

Where is it for you SO?

I think it is one of the great undiscussed factors which determines that seemingly mystical attraction in an intimate relationship. Without it, it is tough to connect properly.

He and I have talked about how liking each other’s natural smell must add something to our mesh. I like to snuggle into his chest and his armpit odor or sweaty skin doesn’t bug me. He likes to rub his face on top of my head and rub his nose on mine. We noticed even when our clothes come out of the wash/dryer then we can still smell each other’s individual scents on them.

Not only do I love her clean, natural scent, but I love the way she stinks. Really. I love when she gets sweaty.

MMMMMMmmmmmmm fresh sweat. My absolute favorite smell ever, ever. Makes my clothes want to get as far away from me as they can.

I have read somewhere that nature intended our body odor to attract our S/O etc. It is the reason why we have it.

I’m with @psychocandy – I can live in his armpits if he hasn’t showered for days. I love his smell everywhere and he loves my smell down there.

I’m also with @psychocandy and @Simone_De_Beauvoir…the sweatier the better. I love his BO.

Apparently so, he even does the ultimate cliche – smelling my hair! My partner’s natural smell was one of the first things that attracted me to him and even now it makes me all gooey, take that in anyway you choose!!!

The choice of our partner is mainly driven by natural scent.

And, folks, mattbrowne comes in with the (scientific) closer (as always). Thanks, mattbrowne.
