I get so embarrassed talking about this kink sometimes

    I read the title as something way worse at first…

    but no I don’t think it’s wrong or even weird really, I don’t see why sexuality shouldn’t include all 5 senses

    just don’t be like the guy from Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, that would be taking it too far

    It’s super common actually, and i don’t see anything weird about that. It’s really not different than being into how a person looks, or how they feel, or how their voice sounds. A lot of girls like to sniff me when we have sex, and there’s some people whose smell just makes me weak in the knees in the best way possible. I always smell the pillowcase after i’ve had my gal pal over, i know a lot of girls who sleep in a used t-shirt of their partner when they’re not around specifically because it smells like them, i think armpits are also the most common kink on German grindr etc., it’s really not unusual.

    I think the bear website hashed this out once, and the conclusion was it’s not brought up much on account that it’s sort of awkward since people can’t fully control how they smell, but it’s also a very normal thing between partners. Also there’s an entire “musk kink” (like the smell, not this billionaire-tears jackass) thing among tumblr transfemmes which was neato =)

    I think as a fetish it’s probably rarer, but “wrong”? Nope.

    While I don’t consider it a fetish I have a very strong sense of smell and it’s very important to me with a partner.

    I dated a smoker once and it was hell.

    My partner smells nicer to me than baking bread or baby heads, which are the next two nicest smells.

    I can often tell when she’s getting sick before she can because her breath smell changes to a certain way.

    I’m only aware of having a really strong thing for someone’s scent or body odor (both my wife and I). I don’t see why it’d ever be wrong to have a fetish that isn’t harming anyone else. So long as it doesn’t result in sexual harasment or harm of other people, it’s usually totally cool and something you should keep enjoying. It’s a good thing, even.

    It’s not wrong but it’s definitely the type of thing you usually keep to yourself. The thing to do is try and find somebody who can help accommodate you

    no, I personally get so turned on by people wearing niche fragrances, like Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male

    I get mad when people wear layered fragrances tho, they’re so naughty

    Compatible pheromones are an important part of human relations and that isn’t kinky. If you are talking about huffing gasoline fumes or snorting tide pods that’s a little different but still as long as you and your partner consent its fine.
