    I recently read an actual scientific study that found a direct correlation between smell and the length of armpit hair. So your unscientific hypothesis is actually backed by science. I’m too lazy to look up the source though.

        Crazy to think that stench is supposed to be alluring. Is that the takeaway here? It’s more like a repellent in my mind.

          My GF would definitely disagree with you there. On my worst days, she stuffs her face into my pits and is practically intoxicated by it. Turns her on.

          Sidenote: my pet cat (female) also goes nuts for it. She’ll root her nose into my pits and get all lovey. If she finds a soiled shirt out of the basket, she goes crazy, and her brother had better steer clear when she’s “high on pits.”

          ETA: I agree with you, however

            lol

            I find myself stinky at rare times, but when I let my wife smell me she says it’s not bad at all. I guess it’s somewhat of a similar sitch. Minus the arousal, sadly for me…

            I do smell exactly like my dad. It’s crazy to me. My wife doesn’t know that by her nose, she just knows because I’ve told her. But it’s kind of freaky to me personally.
