Smells!

[Lucius5]

Hi, I'm new here and first of all I wanted to say how pleased I am to have found this site and how very useful I'm finding it! I live in a rural location in the UK and so I very seldom hire - maybe once or at most twice a year and usually when I schedule a trip to London. My next trip is at the end of November which seems aeons away but, anyway, my question is...I really like fragrance and its second nature to me to wear it and, so far, its never been an issue, as far as I know! My last provider, back in May, actually said I smelled really nice...although he also asked if I took drugs as that's what it reminded him of!! Since reading this forum though, I'm not so sure going forward. I know that what might smell nice to me might not to someone else and there's also the question of a mouthful of chemicals to deal with so do you reckon its better to go without for a meet? The same goes for deodorant? 

Perhaps I'm also confused because, at the moment, I'm not sure what I want him to smell like! I like the idea of 'gym sweat' or 'musky' or such like and when I finally met my last provider (after a fairly chaotic weekend of postponements) it was in the morning and I'm pretty certain he hadn't showered since the day before so he was fairly ripe in the pits and crotch...and I think I kind of liked it! Just not sure if I want to smell like that! 

Anyway, sorry for rambling a bit and thanks for any input on whether to use anything and what to smell of when you meet!

Interesting topic. I’ve had clients ask me not to shower or use deodorant before their visit, and if possible to be a bit sweaty and worked out when they arrive. Also to wear pants (underwear )that have been worn for a day or so. 

Others ask me not to use scented massage oil but I think that’s more because they are perhaps visiting discreetly and they don’t want their partner to know. 

I don’t mind what the client smells like as long as it’s not cigarette smell. That’s quite off putting.

I've been asked to come to a client's hotel room or home  right after finishing at the gym.   I have,  but always thought that was a little odd.

I've also been asked to eliminate cologne or deodorants and come naturally.    I largely just try and never wear too much of anything in case the client finds it offensive.    If he is a regular,  I already know his preferences and it isn't a big deal.

I imagine people can take things a bit too far, however...

Yeah. I like guys sweaty from the gym, but right afterwards, they tend to be tired. Also, it only takes an hour or so for the sweaty gym smell to turn less appetizing.

Male scents turn me on big time, and this sounds very hot, @Lucius5. I always ask my sexual partners to NOT wear any perfume or deodorant and, if possible, to work a little sweat before we meet. I love to sniff and lick smelly pits and crotch.

Like @Jamie21 says:

The one-or-so-day underwear is a MAJOR turn on for me. Sweaty balls and a musky ass (not shitty, NO) drive me wild.

There is a thread on scents in the Fetish Forum, @Lucius5. You might want to take a look at it:

I think there's a difference here between client and provider.  OP, as a client you set your desired parameters.  Provided you are clean and not overly-perfumed (we've all encountered people who take it waaaay too far), I think it's your prerogative to groom for your meet as you see fit.  Providers OTOH need by default to provide a blank slate to accommodate client preferences, as discussed above.  In the west, underarm deodorant marketers have convinced us all that we stink to high heaven without daily (or more) application of their products.  I guess the default for providers would include deo, unless otherwise specifically requested by the client, but I think cologne, body oil or other artificial scents are a bad idea, again unless the client has made a specific request in advance.

There are, of course, providers whose brand includes a well-developed natural scent, but I guess that's a niche.  This topic is often addressed in the ads of more thoughtful providers.

I'm a scent pig, I love musky pits and asses and bushes and foreskins on a fit, younger guy in an erotic scenario.  But context is everything, and same can be off-putting, even repulsive, in a social situation or on the subway or in any other non-sexual setting.

Thanks guys for your input...much appreciated! Also, thanks for that link @liubit - very entertaining 😀

Grown men should know how to wash themselves, provided they don't have a medical or physical issue precluding such. If I were an escort, I'd insist they take a shower or arrive clean. can't have random strangers stinking like shit cos they're too lazy or braindead to keep clean.  I expect an escort to be clean. And I try my best to be clean too.

I can't stress enough to clients that if they are not freshly showered and good hygiene, they will not be able to receive any massage from me.

I'm simple: We both should be clean and freshly showered (as circumstances permit) before meeting. Perfumes don't bother me if we're not in bed, e.g. on a date, but once we're being intimate, I get sneezing fits with most EDTs.

If I am hosting, I'll offer my bathroom. And I will ask if I can join him, too.

I met up with a pretty popular escort many years ago, and it was obvious that he was taking a few clients that day because he has not had a chance to freshen up between appointments. I stopped mid-deed to politely ask him to shower, as the smell down there was overbearing.

As with many of the threads in this forum, communication is the key. This is the way YOU like it, so this is what you should communicate: "Please come in freshly showered; I'll be the same way." There are others, such as other respondents to this string and myself, who get turned on by man-scents, so I specifically ask that they do NOT put on scents or deodorants, nor shower right before seeing me. Some people enjoy the scent of Irish Spring, but I'm not one of those people. If I ask my fiance "Would you like to get intimate tomorrow?" and he says yes, he knows not to put on deodorant or anti-perspirant after showering the next morning.
