You Smell Great – The importance of scent can’t be overstated in it’s role in arousal. Most people overlook scent and are blinded to it. Everything you use in today’s world is scented. It’s easy for your nose to get overloaded and to overlook everything. A small dab of perfume or cologne can set the mood like nothing else can. You should always look for new and interesting ways to introduce scent in your love life.
Setting The Mood – Something as simple as burning incense can make the mood more romantic. You can put a little perfume on a pillow or a piece of clothing. Be creative in how you introduce scents to your partner. You should also think about taking them with you when buying perfume or cologne. Most men aren’t going to want to hang out at the cosmetic counter and sniff until they sneeze. Find a place where both of you can buy something and you’ll be killing two birds with one stone. Scent doesn’t have to be added directly to your body.
Smells Like You – Be creative and find places where you can sneak it a spritz or two. Why not write a love letter and make it smell good? A teddy bear with cologne on it will make your woman feel less lonely while you’re away on a business trip. Too many times people focus just on their genitals when it comes to love making. Instead, think of the whole person. You’re not making love to just a penis or a vagina. You should be making love to the entire person. That includes their nose and make sure you’re giving it something good to sniff.
You Smell Sooo Good – They say the sense of smell takes us back like no other sense we have. You can smell something years after you first did and be instantly transported back to that memory. Needless to say, we want to smell good for our romantic partners. Perfumes were originally created to cover up unwashed smells when ones bathed infrequently. Hopefully not many are using fragrance for that reason these days. Many do not like being exposed to strong perfumes though and many workplaces have rules in place to keep the office fragrance free. For those of us with an overly sensitive nose, that’s appreciated.
Smells Like Romance – Do some scents actually get us in the mood for romance? Apparently yes. The smell of pumpkin pie was the most arousing smell that men were exposed to in tests. Imagine the scent of a pie getting you hard, seems odd, but apparently true. Several food smells had such effects. We all know how a great smelling kitchen when something is baking can make you feel good, usually a comforting feeling. Many these days are not just using perfume or cologne in just one area, body sprays have grown in popularity for a full body application via a light mist.
Unwashed Smells – Some men do like “body smells” though and like their women, err, “ripe” shall we say. Napoleon was known to write his beloved Josephine and tell her not to bathe for three days before he was due back. Others simply go wild for sweaty feet, underarms or even asses. I don’t even wish to comment on that. To each their own I guess, no real harm done, just a bit…odd. I guess good old soap and water and minimal scent deodorant is a bit much too ask for these days. It must have been rough before daily showers and deodorants to control body scents. Some still like the overly natural, unwashed smells, but many of us prefer as scent free as possible in all things, from laundry detergent to people. I’ll take the unscented.
