alanschu Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I'd imagine the "repulsive" part of sweat has much more to do with the fact that it's a haven for bacteria, and if you don't do anything about it, they're going to be explusing waste by products on your unclean body which creates a not so pleasant smell.

Pop Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) Sweat in this case would be an aphrodisiac, not a fetish. Even if it causes arousal, the arousal is not directed at the sweat, but at the person who's sweating. Edited February 9, 2007 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Purgatorio Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) Sweat in this case would be an aphrodisiac, not a fetish. Even if it causes arousal, the arousal is not directed at the sweat, but at the person who's sweating. A fetish is something that is needed for arousal. Not something that is 'a turn on' or 'causes arousal'. Leather for example smells reeeeeeeeally nice, just because it makes someone 'tingle' doesn't mean they have a fetish for it.

mkreku Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I sweat when I see women. Winner! Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't think they meant sweaty hands when they wrote that article. And sweat.. Geez, I remember when I was a member of ACC (Academic Computer Club) at my university. They had this club room full of old Sun computers that the university had donated, and the entire room was saturated with a sour sweat stench of the nerds that sat in that room 16 hours per day. It was impossible to be in that room for more than a minute at a time. The mega nerd (every club has one) had an aggressive stench that attacked your nostrils a full five meters before he actually walked past you. One funny thing though: They had a Coca Cola vending machine outside the club room. That vending machine had a plaque on it (placed there by Coca Cola) that said: Sweden's third most selling vending machine. The nerds drank so much Coca Cola that they actually won a prize for it!

alanschu Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Yes, the solid, bacteria infested sweat is the suck. I don't really think I stink immediately after playing a sport. But if I go to bed without showering, the aroma is less than pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I do know that women prefer a guy who's been working out. BUt I don't think that's the sweat so much. "It wasn't lies.

alanschu Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Working out itself I believe is an aphrodisiac. Or maybe it's just all the sweaty men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell Kitty Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 And sweat.. Geez, I remember when I was a member of ACC (Academic Computer Club) at my university.

It was impossible to be in that room for more than a minute at a time. The mega nerd (every club has one) had an aggressive stench that attacked your nostrils a full five meters before he actually walked past you. That reminds me of a particular tv production student at my old university. You could tell he was in the computer lab before you got there because you could smell him way down the hall. Once it gets that bad it has the opposite effect, and not just on women, also men, children, animals, extraterrestrial life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkan Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) Wait a minute...this is something unknown? Aren't pheromones released through sweat or something? One of the reasons we have pubic hair is so our "scent" can be "trapped" and eminate to attract mates, is that not basically the gist of it? Edited February 9, 2007 by Arkan "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astr0creep Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I'm very hairy and my skin is pale white, almost greenish and I'm also a bit chunky.

Gfted1 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 IIRC, the scent of a persons sweat is directly related to the food that person has eaten. Some cause a stronger more unpleasant scent while others mitigate the scent.

Laozi Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 IIRC, the scent of a persons sweat is directly related to the food that person has eaten. Some cause a stronger more unpleasant scent while others mitigate the scent. Right, this attraction is probaly quite similiar to the reaction a dog has after smelling another dog's ass. People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

Eh, I wouldn't be too surprised if I were you, where attraction is concerned you can always rely on people having odd little quirks, like me and girls with lazy eyes.

LadyCrimson Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Food/drink definitely affects the smell and taste of sweat, but I'm not sure it affects the hormonal aspect the article is talking about. I definitely prefer the way hubby smells a few hours after a shower, not right after - assuming he spends those hours doing mellow things rather than strenuous physical activity like cleaning an outhouse or something. “Things are as they are.
