LOL ok, well a guy doesn't have to necessarily smell "bad", but isn't true that when you feel chemistry with someone, their body smell drives you crazy? in a good way of course. I've catch myself getting turn off becuase I don't like how the other person smells, even though they don't smell bad, they are clean, but their body odor just doesn't click hahaha... Gosh I feel weird now but what do you guys think? Reply to this Question

 I have had 3 partners and I could put them in order of who's odour I like the most. And I don't know if this is a coincidence or not but it also works out that is the order of who I found to be the most attractive.
This sounds bad but my man has a very physical job and when he comes home all I want to do is cuddle him and smell him! I am also in hospital a lot and the only thing that seems to comfort me is one of his work shirts because the smell is just so .. Can't think of a word but I'm sure you catch my drift lol

I watched an interesting BBC TV show called Human Instincts..Deepest Desires by Prof Robert Winston about what attracts us to the opposite sex. And he did some experiments with people regarding body odour. It plays a very big part in sexual attraction! Basically if you don't like a persons natural body odour then you wont feel like getting 'jiggy' with them, no matter how attractive they are in other ways.

However, recently I have noticed that when I'm kissing my girlfriend, her breath has a distinct but very subtle odor when she's horny. This might be just in my head, but I've noticed it enough to think there's something to it.

Research has shown that the our attraction through our sense of smell relates to our genes, and the compatibility of our partner's genes. It has an evolutionary function. Basically, our sense of smell is designed to tell us if the person we are smelling will be a good match to produce kids with, if our genes are compatible. So yes, a person's smell plays a part in the chemistry.

 Smells/odors are most definitely part of our attraction to someone. I used to leave my perfume on my boyfriend's robe so he would remember me as he was wearing it. Sneaky, but effective. And that's all I've got to say about that.

First of all there is artificial. The perfumes and scents that woman chooses to compliment her self. Tabu makes me swoon.
After we spend more time, there are the individual scents that take over and drive me wilder.
Some of the most distinct memories of women in my life are the smells. The gum she chews.
I dated a waitress and she smelled of the scents of the restaurant.
As things progress there is the undeniable attraction from her physical scent. The smell of her on you after sex.
It all combines to give a man an imprint both visceral and ever lasting. I forgot your specific question. I am wandering by the banks of my own lagoon. As John Lennon would say.

 Yes absolutely. The smell of someone is probably one of the most important factors in attraction. If you don't like the way they smell, like, even if they don't smell bad or whatever, chances are that's a sign from nature telling you you aren't compatible.

 Body odor is a big factor in attraction. There was TV show with a women team and a men team in a gym. The women picked one man to be their favorite based on looks and then the men went to work out. Afterwards the men removed their sweaty shirts and the women sniffed each one and again picked out a favorite smell. The result of the test is based on the correct matches between a face and an attractive smell. The results show that there is a strong correspondence between body odor and attraction.
I love how my boyfriend smells. Body odor is definitely one of the reasons why I love him.

 I think I read somewhere that the smell women smell to find men sexually attractive is so subconcious that you wouldn't be able to pinpoint it (if that makes sense?) so you wouldn't be able to be like "Joe smells of roses," but your animal instinct will pick up on a smell without you even being aware of it.
Sorry I can't be more helpful!

My boyfriend says he loves my "normal" smell--not just talking about "those" parts, but the overall way I smell.
