Men and body odor

How much are you willing to put up with?

"Put up with" will change according to the contexts in which I smell his body odor.

Also the blend of notes in the odor? Is it 30 year old man after being active all day? Is it a 60 year old man with acrid crotch or pits?

I like SOME guys' body odor. It an be like catnip. Not quite into "rank" yet (and given my age, that won't happen until another lifetime).

On the other hand, I've smelled that "freshly washed" skin and some of it is pretty awful. Not everyone who has "good hygiene" actually smells good when you sniff them during lovemaking. I guess some people don't realize this. Fortunately, some do. I always approached it on a case by case basis.

No stank. No funk. No ripeness. Men should smell like soap or deodorant or laundry detergent. A VERY subtle woodsy after shave can be acceptable. But not cologne. Men should not have a signature scent cologne. Trashy.

What amazes me is that some guys find "man stink" a turn on, whereas it makes me want to throw up. I can understand many fetishes even if I don't share them, but....not this one.

by Anonymousreply 37April 27, 2024 2:06 PM

Very low tolerance of it. I hooked up recently. Had a good time making out. We took it to his bedroom, and it was obvious he hadn't showered that day. Not bad, but just a feint hint of odor from his pits. I've been with guys when we were hot and sweaty from playing sports or working out, and musk can be a turn on. But this guy needed to wash away that stink. It wilted my cock.

by Anonymousreply 38April 27, 2024 2:33 PM

As long as it started with some Dial soap and Pepsodent or their equivalents just go about your day.

Some of the hottest sex I ever had was with a guy I took home from the gym repeatedly who wanted to live in my pits and bits after working out.

Was he making deceptive movements with his armpits? Otherwise, there was probably just a faint hint of odor …

Clearly nothin' but city folks on this thread. Men smell great, showered. They smell great unshowered, too. If you'd been slopping hogs for years and cleaning up after them, you'd come around to thinking that a funky-smelling man was still as sweet-smelling as a spray of Chanel No. 5.

There is an enormous difference between the fetid stank of someone who doesn't bathe regularly and the smell of men who have good hygiene and have worked up a light sweat.

Only a days' worth of BO if you sniff his pits. Pubes maybe depending on how hot he is. Crack needs to be clean at all times.

I walked by a kid (IT-heavy background) at the gym yesterday and it was clear days' old BO. Disgusting. Reminds of the 90s when "uninhibited" guys would flaunt their nasty unshowered asses around to find other stinky dudes.

GROSS.

Agreed, but which type are these people referring to when they say they're into "man stink?" I kind of think it's the former rather than the latter.

I once hooked up with a guy who quite clearly hadn't put any deodorant on that day. It wasn't like he stank, but when he was shirtless I could detect a smell coming from his armpits.

I found it kind of insulting that he didn't think I was worth showering for!

There’s a fine line between musky and funky. Sometimes it’s just personal chemistry between two people. What’s intoxicating to one person is vomit inducing to another. Askgaybros on Reddit had a similar thread to this within the past week. Some guys say they use salt deodorant because it keeps down the BO but lets the musk come through, and it doesn’t taste bad to lick. Learned something new, but of course, it could all be BS about BO.

by Anonymousreply 69July 3, 2024 7:58 AM

Straight white men do not understand showering. They STINK. Black men smell good or neutral. I have no idea why this is but I ride the bus every day in a large city and can attest to the stinkiness of white guys vs black.

by Anonymousreply 70July 3, 2024 10:36 AM

I was in a shop earlier and this workman came in. His BO was so bad it stunk the whole shop up. Now I get he works in manual labour but it was about 11am. There's no way he'd showered that morning and put deodorant on. I don't see how you can't smell it yourself when you stink that bad.

by Anonymousreply 71July 3, 2024 11:47 AM

He's gotta bathe daily and really scrub and rinse out the pits and butthole and crotch. Fresh sweat and a slight hint of musk / natural ripeness that just came in over the past day is one thing, and can be a turn on. 2nd day it turns nasty. 3rd day, EWWW, verging on homeless.

This is because bacteria breed bacteria, and it goes up by orders of magnitude and it happens fast.

by Anonymousreply 72July 3, 2024 11:59 AM

In most cases, a bar of Irish Spring and a really good deodorant will do the trick for most men. If a man starts slacking in his hygiene it usually means he's depressed and/or going through something terrible at the moment. Most people in America shower daily. In my experiences each man has his own natural scent especially below the waistline and in my humble opinion there's nothing better than going down on a guy after a long day at work, provided he showered that morning. I love that faint musky smell in a guys pubes. I prefer a man in his natural state. Some men really over do it with the colognes.

[quote] There’s a fine line between musky and funky.

Exactly. R69 gets it. Men don't need to smell like a garden ro be sexy. And I don't want a hairless, preening, pretty boy. Give me a man. I'll take G.I. Joe over Ken doll any day.

[quote]lets the musk come through

r69 Human/male musk doesn't exist. The "musk" that people are familiar with comes from the male musk deer and is used in male fragrances. Even with that, the "musk" is synthetic because it's been deemed unethical to use animals.

The existence of human pheromones is also debatable as no such chemicals have ever been isolated and identified. Anything you smell coming from a human is just regular body odor and a sign that the individual simply needs to bathe. A clean human doesn't smell like anything and is completely odorless.

by Anonymousreply 76July 5, 2024 10:32 AM

"Honest" odor from a clean body that's beworking and sweating is fine.

Unless it's spontaneous sex and he has been or I have been working or exercising, I prefer not to be stinking when coming together.

Once we're at it who cares?

A little musk after a workout or after a long day can be intoxicating with the right guy.

But that is a superfine line.

Humans have a smell. Soap and water and a coarse loofa make us clean to our own noses but other species can smell us, clean and otherwise. And the 'completely odoress' freshly scrubbed human non-smell is neither timeless nor universal, it's a modern invention in certain parts of the world. My parents who were born in the late 1920s in the U.S. always recalled 'the tradition of 'Saturday night baths' which in my lifetime has been replaced in the U.S. and U.K. with a popular image of people showering (not bathing) twice a day or even more.

A 'dirty' man does smell different than an (unbathed) deer, a bear, a dog, a cat. Our defining smell is exactly what we smell like dirty, not clinically scrubbed.

by Anonymousreply 81July 7, 2024 1:08 AM

About 10 years back a female work colleague always used to tell me I smelt nice. I worked with her once a week and every time she first saw me in the morning she'd comment on it. I used to just say that I didn't get why she thought that because I never wore cologne/EDT to work - I just put on a bit of deodorant in the morning.

It wasn't till much later I realised she was probably just flirting and because I had zero interest in her I didn't pick up on it. I wasn't offended in the slightest, but if the roles were reversed and it was a guy constantly telling a female colleague she smelt nice, it would come across as quite creepy.
