Men and body odor

None! Wash your ass and brush your teeth. Bad hygiene of any sort is a HUGE turnoff for me.

Stanky white men are what I live for!

Those are some disturbing pits.

That has to be AI.

Fucking disturbing AI that’s given the guy weird pit hair and a savage cleft lip.

OP smells!!!

"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?

None OP. Soap and water are your friends.

Not much at all

I actually like a little. I love smelling my bf's pits after exercise. Turns me on.

I love it, but not clean smell is something different from “funk”

Not only that, R5, but the AI-rendered nipple looks like a carcinoma.

Gurl no! This mansmell trend needs to be reigned in.

Showered in the morning and natural after work is what I live for. Gives me a hardon.

Depends on how much I will be paid to put up with it

The difference between wildly intoxicating and putrid is all in the man. If I'm not attracted, he'll never smell good.

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.

Some of you guys are just nasty

Some of you guys are just nasty ass.

He has heroes on his lip

that pit @ OP looks like Vadge's snatch

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.

- The Rule Maker

Sorry, but don't include me in with the "you're not a real man unless you smell like a man" fetishists.

12-18 hours post-shower is my max. I've taken crowded trains through the backwaters of Europe so I know my personal limits.

Almost anything bus swamp ass.

^^^^ bus = butt, right?

I was so into a guy I dated that I snitched his briefs when he went in to take a shower and sniffed repeatedly. The smelled like him, like sex. Made me hard all over again.

-100%

I have five brothers. My tolerance disappeared as soon as the first one hit puberty. The fumes I had to endure growing up could qualify as a bioweapon of war in violation of the Geneva Conventions.

None. I like a clean smelling man with no fragrances of any kind.

Some musk in the crotch area is an aphrodisiac for me. Seems more common in dark-haired guys, for some reason.

Poor guy needs a trimmer. Hair’s ok but don’t induce my gag reflex.

BO and bad breath are deal breakers OP

R30 I’m guessing thicker hair traps more odor.

R33 The thought of that induces a gag reflex.

Thick body hair traps bacteria, hence the body odor.

Sniff

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.

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.

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.

Funny how kinky people can be - but you must smell "clean." Not part of this group, that's for sure!

I have a thing for homely-cute Arab guys with b.o. Esp. if they're wearing sandals and you can see their feets.

I would go back to Iran with one and be his 'wife', wearing a burqa to hide our secret.

R38 - "just a feint hint of odor from his pits"

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

I’m like Joan Crawford. I’m a clean freak but like really slutty sex.

If I like his smell, I'm good with whatever he smells like. But cologne? Ugh.

Not much. Cologne / perfume is fine by me though, I actually like many of them. Flowery feminine notes I actually quite like on a guy, fortunately I like the kind of guys that would wear something like that

R37 "Man stink" is not for me either, and I make sure I dont smell either, shower every day or more often when its hot

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.

My ex had a smell that could knock you over. I complained, but he said to get used to it and enjoy it. Now he's my ex.

Why, my dear, it’s a tribble.

My pussy stinks!

[quote]R49: Why, my dear, it’s a tribble.—purr, purr

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.

I luvs me sum man musk

I love it

but there is "dirty" and "odor" and a man's natural funk drives me wild. an unwashed person, no thanks

[quote]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.

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 retired from the hook-up game about 25 years ago, when black underwear became popular, the better to cover up skid marks and piss stains.

No dick is worth catching a deadly disease, and I ain't talking about HIV.

Then what deadly diseases ARE you talking about, R56?

[quote]No dick is worth catching a deadly disease, and I ain't talking about HIV

You must mean the vapors.

R56 = La senatrice

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!

It's nice when sexy guys stink.

he aint stanky

he's my luvvah

What R1 said.

None!

Scrub up you stanky animal!

If it's enough for me to notice, it's too much.

When hiking, I always go first.

Stealth lesbian thead.

If you’re planning to be intimate with someone, respect them and yourself enough to be clean. Basics.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was being intimate with a nice young gorgeous man, and he smelled just like a bag of Funyuns, tragic!

Shave

[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.

"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.

Cologne or artificial fragrance is a dealbreaker when it comes to sex. I like a man who is clean, but has a natural male smell.

Yeah I also like guys to smell natural. No cologne or fragrance. Ivory soap is just fine. And a little man-musk is HAWT.

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.

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.

You’re attractive. You smell like a Democrat.

God I’m so horny I would love to lick a sweaty man after an hour of cardio at the gym. He would have had to have showered beforehand though.

YOU GOTTA WASH YOUR ASS

I love it when men sparingly use a good cologne.

[Quote]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.

Well certainly on the bus for seniors there would be that old man smell

I'm with R1.

NONE

I’m absolutely anti body odor if it’s chronic and cumulative. A man either bathes properly or he smells “low-key homeless.” Fresh sweaty musk can be hot in the right circumstances but that’s chemically a different animal (so to speak) than accumulated stank from lousy personal hygiene.

Also.. I have a sensitive nose and can tell if a guy is a laundry procrastinator who thinks he can wear the same clothes over and over and over between washings. One re-wear maybe, but three, nope; he might not think there’s a stale B.O.-adjacent whiff emanating from his clothes at that point, but there is.

It’s mostly a straight male (or depressed person) thing, and rare to find gay men who do this, but they exist.

I honestly love the funk. Yes, brush your teeth and wash your body but normal day-today funk I really like

I can’t open OP’s link

LINKY STINKY

Water. Drink plenty of water, and your stink won't be as stinky.

You gotta love the guys who think turning their underwear inside out will allow them to wear that same underwear a couple of days longer.

Completely clueless that the skidmarks and pee stains are now rubbing against their street clothes.

Personally, my un-treated pits annoy me after eight hours. If I’m going out, I take a second shower.

As far.as others, if he’s feral, you simply lure him into the shower. “Have you seen this? I have soap and more than two towels!”

Ripe pits imply a tasty dick, but they also indicate you’re dealing with some stinky-ass feet.

the funkier, the better💩

A bit of a sweaty, musky smell is nice, like after a rugby game or lumberjack work. Cheap cologne and even a hint of bad breath is totally unexceptable!

r73, what if the guy used Irish Spring in the morning as you mentioned but took a dump during the day? would you still lick his butt?

It depends. Some people smell gross. Also: pits I sometimes like. Below the waist: freshly washed please.

I'm a sweaty guy.. my BFF gave me some cologne once and one time she told me I had used so much she was getting a contact high.

R97, i offer the stinky stud some turkey meatballs to seal the deal

R103 I remember that old DL reference!

I used to work with a lady who was known as The Beast amongst her co-workers. Her body odor was remarkable. She was an odd duck as she smoked and it seemed her clothes stank. Also her clothes were aggressively ugly. Lots of yellows and purples.

Sounds lovely

A 4 blade all over his body will leave you staring at the floor not wanting to eat. You wouldn’t be able to see his feet.

"Nor wonder how I lost my wits: Oh! Celia, Celia, Celia shits!"

i need the funk
