BIOLOGY OF SEX: SCENT SIGNALING
The third consideration for choosing your beloved is scent. You may have noticed the aftershave or the perfume already, but the real smell of the partner’s body is only available to you with continuing intimacy. It can be the wonderful mix of savoury and/or sweet which, when your heightened senses notice it during the later stages of courtship, is in itself a turn-on. The smell of another’s skin, hair and body lays scent signals to arouse the other senses. They are comforting. They evoke memories even years later. Being up close and personal with the partner you adore means you absorb the smell of their facial skin very readily and reinforces the pleasurable feelings and emotions each time you access the intimacy.
Ensure your body and hair smell clean and fresh. Hair tufts trap the natural fragrance of the body, under arms, around the chest of men and in the genital areas. On clean bodies the natural scents are very erotic but layers of clothing make the natural smell deteriorate and become stale. Most people choose anti-perspirants under arms with the understanding that no smell is better than a good smell gone bad.
