Bad smells you love
So we are supposed to dislike bad odors. I mean, that’s why we call them that. But it’s an old joke that young guys like to smell their own farts, their fingers after they’ve gone to the bathroom, etc. Why are some bad odors strangely compelling?
Examples. My partner sometimes is too lazy to wash his dick after we have sex, and the next morning the odor of his crotch is strong but it is strangely attractive to me.
I had a partner who loves the strong odor of feet, which I (unfortunately!) have. It made him incredibly hard — just smelling the stink of feet.
Someone explain this to me.

The feet thing is because the part of the brain that controls your feet is adjacent to the sexual stimulus center, and the neurons get misdirected or maybe commingled.

The scent of cum. Intoxicating. Found in plants too.
Botanist here, and in college my best friend and I on a field trip were in a garden, when both of us stopped suddenly and sniffed the air. We looked at each other and mouthed"Cum". We identified scent as coming from Mahonia x media.
Each of us was unusually sexually active back then-me as a gay guy, and he as a straight. But that scent of cum aroused a boner in each of us.

I love sniffing between the pads of my dogs’ feet. I imagine it would be repulsive to a large number of people, but to a select minority, it is something uniquely doggish and delightful.

Subway stations when they smell like aged piss. Somehow a hint of the smell of Wrigley's Spearmint Gum factors into the piss smell to me which I attribute to being a result of the effect of aged piss or I'm just odd for having this association. I also enjoy the smell of sewer gas when ienough wafts up through the grates to catch a good whiff.
One other heavenly smell I loved from the old days was Red Devil brand paint. I can remember being a tot of three or four smelling it for the first time. My father was using some flat finish to touch up his 1950 (if not olde)r gigantic bulbous spruce green car.

LEADED gasoline, which I haven't smelled since I was 4, living in rural TN and ppl were still using it in their old trucks. A few months ago I was driving on US 1 in FL and some guy had taken his restored unmodified Model A Ford out for a spin and it was burning leaded gas, I was in HEAVEN. How does one even acquire leaded gas these days? Maybe better that I don't know.

Base. Free base. Cocaine. It took me years to not smell it in my dreams or when certain accerelants reminded me. We came to it late but in quantity. It's a bitter smell but not acrid. I'm not even ashamed today. It was a great experience - 90% of the time. I was lucky. I did a lot of it.
I like the smell of by boyfriends nuts and fresh fucked ass too - but he's beautiful and never too funked.

Anything to do with the beach. I remember driving to my favourite surfing spot as a kid and we would pass through a tidal pool area. The smell was always intoxicating to me. I would think the fact that it signaled that I would soon be seeing lovely, tanned lads in speedos played a part.

Cleaning products, because they insinuate that something helpful has been done to an area.
And an opposite - manured farmed fields, because they remind me of childhood rural life where I could much more easily be alone and not have to deal with a single person for days. I still don't know whether I've been born with an inclination towards introversion, or whether its from this background.
I also feel good at alcohol breath from guys that I'm already particularly attracted to. I can resist, but its a turn on in itself, as it triggers thoughts of them getting 'out of control' towards me (in an enjoyable way).
My partner and I are open and he has a thing of crushing/attentiveness towards one guy at a time, and the current case is to the extent where he can like smelling anything of the man that would normally disgust him, like farts, bo, whatever. It normally doesn't go this far, but it fits the pattern of obsession for a while until he gets used to someone and regulates the whole view of that person later. For me he can't even stand if I haven't brushed my teeth recently :P, but once I'm clean its all good.
