do you not smell body odor or do you just get used to it?

Genuinely curious. I have met a few people of different walks of life that I could tell did not and I have always used it, so I’m just curious. I know there was a couple that stopped using it for around a year, and they said their body actually end up not perspiring as much as when they used antiperspirant, but I’d like to know other people’s experiences.

I feel like you must never have been in middle school if you've never smelled somebody else's body odor. Those kids need to be told to use antiperspirant by their gym teachers/coaches for a reason.

Also that you must have never had sex.

Been to middle school. Can't say BO was a problem. Axe body spray OTOH? Definitely was.

Can confirm lack of experience with sex.

Axe body spray wasn't around when I was in middle school. So everybody just smelled like BO after gym class.

Lucky you. No wonder you think BO is bad if you didn't have to deal with much worse...

[-] Drusas@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Can definitely agree with you there. My sympathies.

It's not really an issue for most people who aren't exercising. And I can say this as one who fucks, regardless of your juvenile attempts at disparagement.

I made no attempt at disparagement. I was simply pointing out the fact that bodies produce scents when they have sex. In fact, I don't think there's anything wrong whatsoever with not having had sex regardless of one's age or gender. It's simply the truth that sex smells.
