Body Odor … Our Most Powerful Sexual Stimulant

A man steps out of the shower, puts on a pair of tennis shoes and some running shorts, then runs three miles without deodorant on a warm morning. He is still clean but he has worked up a sweat. There is a certain smell about him. Different parts of his body generate different odors, each of which are distinct to that particular art of the body and unique to each individual man.

Overall his body has a rather sweet smell. Under his arms the smell, noticeably masculine, is stronger due to the glands in this area and rapidly growing bacteria. Lower on his body, his loins have also developed a distinct smell. The odors here are influenced by a number of things: specialized glands, hair, and compressed skin. If the man stopped to urinate during the run, you might detect a hint of urine. If the nylon fabric of his running shorts rubbed his penis, it might have caused a secretion. His anus is also playing a roll, considering the fact that even a freshly washed anus will still smell like an anus in a short time and influence this area, especially after a three mile run.

All of this adds up to a purpose. And remember I’m not talking about an unclean body. If the innocuous growth of bacteria that lends itself to our natural body odor remains unchecked, it leads to filth. On the other hand, just as our body chemistry responds to the sense of touch and visual stimulants, the purpose of the sense of smell, as it relates to our sexual desire, is to stimulate us, and it does so powerfully. Without the sense of smell, without exposure to our natural odors, intimacy is more of a mechanical endeavor practiced on the surface.

If you are worried about your stock portfolio, chances are the above image will not have a great deal of impact on you. But if you were actually smelling this man’s body, then fretting about stocks and bonds will instantly leave you mind like mist in the hot sun. When the smell of your lover enters your nostrils, an instantaneous chemical message spreads throughout your entire body. These odors spark passion. You are drawn further into the depths of desire and all other worldly issues are soon lost deep within the far recesses of your mind. You are driven to experience your lover with absolute abandon, all of which is within the blueprint of Mother Nature’s grand design. If, on the other hand, his or her smell puts you off, it’s likely because the two of you are not chemically in sync, which is precisely why no one should ever commit to a marriage without first sleeping with their prospective partner.

There is a clear reason for this. The areas of your body that produce the most distinct odors also produce and secret a chemical known as pheromones. Pheromones are designed to impact the behavior of the individual that breaths them in. They are individually specific and affect different people differently. In other words, you may be instantly stimulated by a person’s pheromones and indifferent to someone else’s, or even put off. Conversely, your pheromones will affect other people the same way.

So our natural smells are part of the scheme of things. Perfume, deodorant and body wash manufacturers spend zillions of dollars convincing us that even the slightest natural body odor is a bad thing, when just the opposite is true. On a clean, un-deodorized body, sweat is a good thing. The ingredients of human sweat is a good thing. So when we sanitize our bodies before getting into bed with our lovers, are we actually cheating ourselves and them?

Hung Naturally

How do politicians like this get elected?

DENVER — Circumcisions would again receive state funding under a proposal introduced by several Colorado lawmakers.

The bill would allow Medicaid to again cover circumcisions. The procedure was dropped from Medicaid last year as a money-saving move. Several states have stopped covering circumcisions amid concerns that they’re not medically necessary. Colorado projected that it would save about $186,500 a year if it stopped covering circumcisions.

Colorado’s bill was proposed Thursday (1-19-12) by several Democrats. It awaits a hearing in the Senate.

Note from Martin:

Those of us that have been circumcised, to some degree, have accepted it, albeit grudgingly. Circumcision is not natural. It’s not the way we were born. I’m usually not so opinionated on subjects that are considered subjective, but this issue is not subjective, it is wrong to cut off part of a male infant’s penis. There is simply no religious or medical reason that justifies violating a newborn’s human rights.

Emma Thompson Likes Getting Naked

From the Huffington Post UK

British actress Emma Thompson was left red-faced when cops arrived at her holiday home to investigate reports of a naked intruder as witnesses had mistaken the star for a nude man.

The Oscar winner was enjoying a break at her remote property in Scotland when police officers arrived at her door and warned her that neighbours had seen a nude man lurking on her estate.

However, Thompson’s daughter Gaia soon realised the naked intruder they had seen was actually her mother as she had been skinny-dipping in a nearby river at the time of the sighting.

Thompson tells U.K. TV host Jonathan Ross, “(The police officer) said, ‘Oh, hello, I’m sorry to bother you… but we’ve just had someone ring up to say that you’ve had an intruder on your land.’

“Picturing immediately an axe man behind a bush, I said, ‘Really, when? What sort of an intruder?’ ‘Well,’ he said, ‘There was a dog walker coming up through the path, saw a naked man, about 50 years old, coming through your field’. And I was really worried, it was terrifying.

Not Emma Thompson

 ”From behind me, on the stairs, Gaia, in her PJs (pyjamas), was going, ‘Wasn’t that about the time that you came up from the river, mum?’ Because behind the house there’s a field and a pond. And there’s sheep in the field, but they don’t mind if I walk up naked.

“And I thought, ‘Oh my God, oh my God’. Making the connection, I could see the same thing happening to the policeman. And I could see him, as he backed off, and I was thinking, ‘He’s going to go back to the station and he’s going to say, ‘You see that Emma Thompson? Her t**s must be so low that from a distance they read as testicles.’

“I nearly lifted up my nightie to show that they’re not that bad.”

World Naked Bike Ride

Colorful, adventurous, humorous, exciting, delightful: just a few of the many words that could describe this daring event. Some paint themselves elaborately, others just dash their clothes, but everyone has great fun.

Look at the smiles on their faces. Is there a better way to express an understanding of the human body, a better way to spread the idea of body acceptance?

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a perfect body. Muscle bound or a little thick around the middle, handsomely endowed or sporting a smaller variety, it doesn’t matter–everyone is in sync and part of the whole.

Picture yourself among them, the camaraderie, the feel of fresh air and sun on your skin, other naked bodies beside you, in front and behind. Feast your eyes with an awareness that makes you feel lighter and glad to be alive.

It makes you wonder how anyone can find the human body shameful. A volleyball game on the beach, a hike along a secluded trail, a swim in the pool; is there really any reason to always hide our bodies during a day in the sun?

Are these spectators wondering what it would be like to get out of their clothes and be one of them? Continue reading

Shaking Things Up In Egypt

Meet Aliaa . . .

Aliaa Maghda Elmahdy, an atheist and self-described “secular liberal feminist vegetarian individualist Egyptian,” posted pictures of herself, nude, as a protest against “a society of violence, racism, sexism, sexual harassment and hypocrisy”. She calls her blog A Rebel’s Diary, which features herself and other nudes, male and female, and has become an overnight sensation. Since Egypt needs a new president, I hereby cast my vote for Aliaa. I can think of a few more Middle Eastern countries that could use a girl like her.

 

Big Surprise

Bisexuals Really Do Exist!

An article from the New York Times by David Tuller

The finding is not likely to surprise bisexuals, who have long asserted that attraction often is not limited to one sex. But for many years the question of bisexuality has bedeviled scientists. A widely publicized study published in 2005, also by researchers at Northwestern, reported that “with respect to sexual arousal and attraction, it remains to be shown that male bisexuality exists.”

That conclusion outraged bisexual men and women, who said it appeared to support a stereotype of bisexual men as closeted homosexuals.

In the new study, published online in the journal Biological Psychology, the researchers relied on more stringent criteria for selecting participants. To improve their chances of finding men aroused by women as well as men, the researchers recruited subjects from online venues specifically catering to bisexuals.

They also required participants to have had sexual experiences with at least two people of each sex and a romantic relationship of at least three months with at least one person of each sex.

Men in the 2005 study, on the other hand, were recruited through advertisements in gay-oriented and alternative publications and were identified as heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual based on responses to a standard questionnaire.

An Englishman I Would Like to Know

Meet Chris. He is English and semi-retired on the East Coast of England. His greatest pleasure is a local beach which is quiet enough for him to wear very little – or nothing at all. The rest of the story is his own words.

Let me go back to the beginning. I was brought up in rural England at a time when male nudity was a taboo subject, but I was always fascinated by nudity (I guess most boys are) and got into lots of scrapes when I took off my clothes at inappropriate moments. My father believed that young boys were naturally rebellious and needed clearly defined behavioural boundaries backed up by firm discipline. The firm discipline was administered very infrequently, but when it was it took the form of a heavy leather strap applied with some force to my bare bottom. As happened when I exposed myself completely naked at my bedroom window and the lady next door was not amused. Neither was Father, who put me over the end of my bed and thrashed me – still bare after my display. After the beating he took me in his arms and held my naked body close to his until I stopped crying – and I knew that he loved me.

As an older boy we used to take family holidays in South Devon. I suppose I was twelve when my father took me to a quiet beach (Pilchards Cove) where nudists gathered. We sunbathed nude – and for the first time I saw men and women totally unfazed by their nudity, even when the men came out of the cool water with obvious erections. Somewhat to my surprise Father was unfazed too – he stripped without hesitation and stretched out naked like everyone else. I found that swimming naked gave me an erection, and encouraged by what I had already seen I walked back to where Father lay on his towel with my hard penis bouncing as I walked. By then I was well developed and it was a blatant display. He looked at me – then my erect penis – and smiled. I thought that was the best thing I’d ever done and from that moment I had no inhibitions whatever. It was his way of teaching me that there is a time and a place for everything. It was then that I noticed that he, too, had become deliciously aroused. No question where my nice cock came from – or my sexual interests!

At public school I was fortunate in having a mentor in the classical sense of the word – a young master who lived in an apartment within the school buildings.  During our long evening conversations  I became more and more relaxed as he helped me understand my developing sexuality. I felt completely at ease sitting with him on that big leather settee in front of a log fire, always dressed informally and sometimes not dressed at all.

He taught me to be proud of my body and to develop it by constant exercise in a variety of sports. I was never terribly successful at any of them, but the effect on my physique was gratifying. He taught me that the same principle applied to my sexual parts and encouraged me to masturbate every day – not to worry about not ejaculating because I soon would. That was something I really enjoyed doing – either alone or with other boys, and once I started to ejaculate found that I could do it at surprisingly short intervals! Even then I had a somewhat unusual penis – very small at rest but increasingly impressive when fully erect. I became sexually active and found that my nice penis was a mixed blessing – hugely attractive to some but somewhat intimidating to others. My intact foreskin meant that the head of my penis was exquisitely sensitive and with the over-excitement of youth I often suffered premature ejaculation – not that it was a big problem because I was soon ready to go again. My mentor taught me to retract my foreskin whenever I was naked – “let it feel the air and it’ll become less sensitive”. He was right, and gradually, in his expert hands, it ceased to be a problem.

He also taught me to obey the rules – when I was sent to him for punishment there was no ‘Mister nice guy’ but the voice of authority ordering to remove my clothes and to put myself over the arm of the settee to be caned – six and sometimes twelve strokes that left me in floods of tears and in desperate need of comfort. He provided that, too.

At the age of sixteen and encouraged by my mentor I decided that pubic hair was an encumbrance and after some hesitation, shaved. The effect was amazing. The penis that had poked somewhat tentatively from a forest of hair now stood big and proud from a campletely bare body. Even better was the sensation – my bare pubis suddenly became acutely sensitive to stroking fingers! I loved it, and there would be no going back. It wasn’t long before other areas followed – I learned to shave my bottom right to the anal margin, and loved the stream of delicious sensations that happened when I moved – or was touched in that most sensitive place. I did get a lot of ribald comments in the communal showers – not all of it kind. Some bullying too, by older boys who saw me as someone to humiliate. They took me into the woods to be stripped, mocked and beaten, but in truth I rather enjoyed it and continued to shave.

As I developed to manhood I found that a 7″ erect penis was a nice thing to have. Certainly nice to masturbate and in male nudist company something of a magnet. Some declared it perfect while others worried that they might be injured. They all wanted to touch! On balance, I decided that I was very lucky – and still do.

In adult life I yearned for recreational nudity and found it in the form of nudist clubs and resorts of one kind or another. I adored being naked with others and re-discovered the joy of swimming completely naked.  However I did find most of those places somewhat unfulfilling because of numerous rules as to what was allowed and what not.  Most of the things I wanted to do on the beach were strongly discouraged – unlike Pilchards Cove where there had been no inhibitions whatever. In the North of England, where I lived, the age of  ‘let it all hang out’ nudism had not yet dawned!
