To me, there's differences. I mean, I've played sports, and yeah, right after a game when the mood is high and the musk is ripe, it's pretty smelly, but doggone it, to me it's a good smelly. Even domestically, as a couple when we've been .... ummmm, doing yardwork on a warm day, yeah, that's it, and we have a sheen of sweat and scent. Whether it's sports or, um, yardwork - we've been working hard, we've been sweating, we've earned that scent. It's primal, and I don't mind it a bit.

As opposed to the nosehair-curling experience of someone who apparently is allergic to the shower. I still remember one time in the computer room in high school, being with a loner kind of guy (well, I was a loner, too, but for this guy think Harold in The Stand) who was sure helping his loner cause, because that enclosed small space stank of sour pork because of him, and not cooked pork, either, but stuff that has been sitting in the sun for two days in a Ziploc, and you just opened the bag to take a whiff. That's the kind of B.O. that makes you think that even a buzzard would have second thoughts about approaching this guy. Many decades later, and I can still call up the memory of that awful time in that computer room.

Great thread as usual :) I love the smell of my man when he comes home from a hard days work (he fits kitchens and bathrooms and the like). I love nothing more than hugging him, sticking my face under his workshirt and having a great big sniff. Fresh sweat, yum. Stale sweat, bleurgh.
...I'm glad you girls enjoy this...I get home from the prison and I get "you smell like that place! Ass and corn chips, go take a shower"....yes dear...:Z:

My eldest son was in the Marines too. He was in bivouac in Kuwait, on the Iraq border, for a month or two. He said he liked it, with the unit being away from everything, all out camping in the sand, no showers, and protocol more relaxed.

"Wow. Didn't you all smell pretty bad?"

"I guess. We all smelled the same, so it was okay."

I gotta ask him about life on the transport ship sometime.
