B/O issues

[MassageDrew]

Does it bother you when you smell b/o on a guy you're hooking up with? I had a recent hookup and as cute as the guy was I just couldn't get past his strong "scent". I know it's a fetish for some, just not mine. I nearly gagged when I got close to his pits.

[bostonman]

It is, I confess, a major fetish of mine. BUT, it would be something I would expect to talk about before hooking up. If I met a guy out of the blue who arrived smelling like that (that is, without him knowing I liked that), I might definitely question his grooming habits. I'd rather meet someone who smells freshly washed, etc, unless we plan otherwise.

 

On the other hand, I have a definite problem with guys who smell like they just poured a whole bottle of cologne all over themselves. A little should go a very long way, but many guys don't understand that.

These are examples of why I believe every provider should have a stock of baby wipes. First to make one approachable, and second to provide a nice, pleasant clean up of the evidences of satisfactory completion.

In all honesty for me that was the most traumatic experience of my life. I didnt catch the scent until it was too late because I was sitting across from him. I dont understand how members on here can recommend him without saying he has bad BO. I guess they are Sauvingnon Blanc lover tastes good but smells like cat piss. I learned 4 things that day first the worst picture is the most accurate, 2 not into daddys, 3 its gross but at least I can get over being with a messy bttm then be with someone with bad BO, and finally 4 I can at least cum with a semi-soft.

 

Idk if it is because they are semi-hairless but there is such a thing as good BO. I never smelled his pits but Jorge at Shangrila smells great also a member I met recently smells great too you could easily fall asleep wrapped in the crook of his arm.1

Pits is the LEAST of it... I love to RIM, and if I go down and smell "dirty ass", I'm outta there.... Come on guys, its common courtesy to present yourself fresh and clean when you know intimacy will be involved, but its always a good idea to be CLEAN and prepared no matter what.... Once you KNOW me, and I TELL you I WANT a little raunch, then you can reek all you want !

[rossthebosssf]

I'm shameless whenever I make plans with a pro or a casual hook-up. I plainly say, "please be freshly showered from top to bottom or I won't be interested." Only one challenged me on it thinking a shower 6 hours before would do. It did not and I did not see them again.

Well, ideally for me, I like to smell just a little of my man, but not a lot of BO. I definitely don't like the taste of deodorant, soap, or other scents, but I don't like the guy to be stinky, either. The safest thing I can say is to wash off any deodorants, etc. before coming. But I do ask my beau if possible to just not wear deodorant if we're going to have sex that day, as long as he isn't outside after a hot day, or coming back from the gym, etc. Clean is definitely better than stinky, but if there can be a bit of man-smell, that's ideal for me. If I can taste him, without the stink, I'll cum that much faster. When I hired escorts, I'd ask them to just wash off any deodorants or scents before coming. Hopefully by the time we met, there'd just be a little a man-scent and the soap taste will have come off.

Unless BO is requested, there's no excuse for it.

 

We're all adults. We know when we stink.

My issue tend to be with crotch odor - again, some guys really get into that, but although I love armpit odor, I really don't like crotch smells at all. I tend to think guys think less about making sure they're clean down there, especially in a quick hookup situation. I have on occasion interrupted play to politely ask a guy to go wash up down there, and it's always been ok, but I do tend to wish they'd think about that beforehand.

 

But, in general, not only in terms of body odor, but in other ways, I always hope that a guy is going to be presentable. Not that he has to be dressy or anything, but not a mess either. I once met a guy off a hookup site who showed up pretty drunk, and a total mess. I had to turn him away. And of course because he was drunk he gave me a hard time about it, but I was finally able to get him out the door. Ugh. (Of course, it was the afternoon of the St. Patrick's Day parade in Boston, and I suppose I should have known better??)

 

There was another guy I used to see occasionally, but most often at my place. When we decided once to meet at his place, it was a rather rude awakening. Filthy apartment, and just not a comfortable situation all around. Still, because I liked him, I went with it, and the sex was still fun. But he was also a major gamer (several screens that he'd be playing on at once), and the only other time we met at his place, he seemed so engrossed in finishing up his games as I sat in his very untidy room, that I decided to up and leave. It was just too much.

Just like he says. ??

Glad you're not in to daddy's , I obviously wouldn't want you close to me and I smell good

[MassageDrew]

Ugh I can still imagine that smell in my mind. I should've burned my clothing afterwards.

[+ Reisr30]

Squeaky clean is a must for me. Heavy cologne gives me allergies but Irish spring and other soaps are cool ?

 

If I’m not sure I suggest a shower like others have said...

[jonnychgo]

I'm glad to see this thread. Count me as one that wants my man freshly showered and fresh breath. I am probably in the very small minority that actually prefers the smell taste of a clean smelling soap smell or LIGHT cologne. I know many of my fellow posters LOVE a ripe man and actually get off on it, but too me, it ruins the whole thing. Have a very strong reflex to b/o and even when a guy showers he often doesn't wear deodorant (which I get thinking I might want to lick his pits) but by the time he gets here, they stink to high heaven.

 

There is one guy I have hired who has a natural musky odor so I've made it part of the playtime to incorporate a shower beforehand and I don't think he realizes it is more than a kink for me. But works great.

Pretty much.

 

While I do have a fetish for it, it's something I request in advance. Otherwise, I expect people to arrive clean and smelling good.

 

Now on the flipside, and funny me finding this thread now...about an hour ago I was just speaking with a Grindr buddy I've played with a couple of times during my east coast travels. He mentioned that he had to be honest and that our last encounter he wasn't into it and turned off because of my breath and BO.

 

I'm very big on personal hygiene in my day-to-day movements so to hear this is a complete shock. Anytime I'm out, aside from the gym, I always travel with a small shoulder bag and along with other things my 3 essentials are ALWAYS in there: Gum, Mouthwash, Hand Wipes. So for someone that's usually always prepared when it comes to freshening up, post-eating, or casual hookups I found that comment to be shocking. And I always have deodorant, plus light body cologne on.

 

Anyways, I respect him for being honest but I just can't wrap my mind around that specific day because I know (well I felt/thought) I was fine.

Maybe it was something you ate that day?

Well that came out of nowhere lol.

Hillarious and disgusting all at the same time!!!

Maybe. I’m still in shock today thinking about it lol.

I promise I will NEVER complain about anyone's BO.

[bostonman]

Ha! Though as I said originally, it's better for me when it's something I'm expecting, or at least when I know the guy I'm meeting knows that's something I would like. If a guy shows up like that out of nowhere, it still might be fun, but I might wonder about his grooming habits in general if that's what he would tend to do anyways.

 

I remember a guy I dated some years back. The first time we fooled around, I told him about my pit fetish, and he found it intriguing, but said that it might be tough for him to show up without deodorant given his job, etc. I reassured him it wasn't something he needed to do. Then we met one night for dinner at my place, and we're making out, and all of a sudden he says "you haven't noticed." "Noticed what?" "I didn't wear deodorant today."

 

Well, to be honest, he didn't have that much odor there. But I was very touched that he clearly did that just for me, and that was good enough lol. And I did have fun with his pits that night.

 

There was another guy I saw on and off as a "fuck buddy" for a time - and from our first conversation, pit odor was the subject. He loved working up some "skank" as he called it. (And here's where those of you who are turned off by BO might stop reading, lol.) The first time I met him, I remember meeting him at the door and shaking hands. And, even standing that arms' length away from him, I could pick up his scent - it was that strong. For me, it was heaven. But again, this was planned, so it was ok.

 

Occasionally, I'll encounter someone cute on the subway or street or even at work who is showing signs of needing deodorant lol - and I'm always tempted to want to say something and offer those pits a tongue bath lol. But I don't think I could ever get up the nerve to actually do that.

 

I did once run across a former (college) student of mine on Manhunt, and we started chatting and he was into the same kinds of stuff. We danced around the possibility of meeting up, and even got to the point of saying we would - but then he thought the better of it and we never met. I understood his awkwardness even though we weren't teacher/student anymore - it's totally fine. Though I think I would have enjoyed some pit play with him. He was primarily a dancer, so he could certainly work up a sweat lol.

And when on the road or out and about, always carry these for that ass.
