aphrodisiac...really?

[sayaka]

hi,
yea i read on some site that feminine odour is actually an aphrodisiac? ladies, you'll probably agree with me that it doesn't seem too appealing when we can 'smell' ourselves but i heard most guys like it. guys, is it true or shud we do something about it?

I believe everyone should bathe (shortly) before making love whenever possible. The aroma will still be there but the perspiration and bacteria won't be. This is good advice when oral will be part of the proceedings. Now, I realize that bathing within a reasonable timeframe is not always going to be possible so each of us has to determine how intimate we want to be, then.

I believe a woman's natural scent is an attraction. So too is her vaginal mucus, although more often than not this is an acquired taste.

Pheronomes play an important but not completely understood role in sexual attraction. But take Doc's advice - a little natural "female" aroma is one thing but we can get overpowering without proper hygiene.

is it true that you smell your 'aroma' more than those around you? Sometimes (perhaps after a long day at work or sthing) I start smelling the 'aroma' and get paranoid if other ppl can smell it too - obbiously a shower wouldn't be readily available so I can't just go have a shower to get rid of it!

Do others smell it as strongly as we do on ourselves? If yes, is there any suggestion to reduce it?

In much of Europe, the bidet is in common use and women may bathe the critical parts a couple or more times a day. Men also use them, especially after bowel movements.

There are wipes that you can use to sponge off during the day. It is quite common to touch up when you get home from work. There are also "feminine deodorants" that are of questionable use.

A couple generations ago lavendar scents were big as they were thought to hide the smalles. Actually they overpowered them but did not remove them. I remember an old aunt who always reeked of lavendar - and woman smells.
