Body Odor … Our Most Powerful Sexual Stimulant

Posted on by

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?

Feminine Hygiene*

Vaginal Odor

Sometimes it seems we are at war with Mother Nature when it comes to our bodies, especially here in the United States.  I have offered a point-of-view on penis size and have talked about “normal labia”.  This article concerns the odors our bodies produce.  No, I’m not talking about bodies that have gone unwashed for several days.  I am talking about natural odors; in this case, vaginal odors.  The difference between this and other articles on feminine hygiene is this one is from a non-clinical male perspective.

As a writer, the word odor seems a little harsh concerning this or any other part of a woman’s body.  Natural fragrance might be more appropriate, but I’ll stay with the word odor because it covers a broad spectrum of smells, from good to bad.  Popcorn, for example, produces an odor, but most of us find the smell quite delicious, just as most men are captivated by the natural smell of a woman’s vagina .  You’ve seen or heard of men who have inhaled deeply when holding a day-old pair of panties over his face–it’s not the smell of the perfume she used that he’s after.

I’m certain there are many men, given the choice of burying their face in a freshly-washed deodorized vagina, or the one that belongs to a woman who has been on a long walk, would choose the deodorant soap.  I believe these men are handicapped by a misguided social doctrine, that they are depriving themselves of a woman’s essence, and that they are men who do n’t know how to appreciate a woman’s body.  After all, sex is best enjoyed with all five senses and the sense of smell may very well be the most powerful.  I’ve been there.  It looks like a vagina.  It feels like one.  Then you lick it expecting ice cream and get bland frozen water.  Or on the other hand, nurtured by a little time and accompanied by her natural secretions, her pheromones sets your mind sailing.

The simple truth is it’s Mother Nature’s grand design.  Though we’re loath to compare ourselves to the animal world, consider man’s best friend.  When a male dog comes up behind a female dog and takes a rather intrusive sniff, what he smells is telling him everything he needs to know.  If it’s a female, it takes hold of him and puts his train-of-thought in a new direction.  Like it or not, it’s much the same for us humans.  The natural bouquet the vagina produces sends zingers throughout a man’s body.  Along with the psychology of the moment, and the visuals involved, it directs his mind in only one direction.  All of your feminine wiles play a roll, but none of them stiffens his penis as effectively as the way you smell.  Do you really want to give any part of this up?

Intimate Male Waxing

Penis Waxing

From PenisWaxing.Com

Sensual shaving is a fairly common procedure and the topic of shaving your testicles is frequently found in the search engines online. While this might have begun as an erotic procedure for the aficionados of smooth balls – or as my friend likes to call it, his textiles – the whole concept of smoothness has moved to a whole new level with the idea of penis waxing.

Before going on to talk about the how-tos and whys of penis waxing, there is a double meaning in the phrase. So let’s look at the other meaning of penis waxing which involves in covering the entire penis in a sheath of wax. This is similar to having hot wax drizzled over your cock but is more intense. You heat up wax and smooth it over the penis covering it from tip to base. Once the first layer is molded to the cock, you can add on other layers and each new layer reheats your member. The hardened wax presents a lovely challenge which is to maintain your hard-on inside the waxy encasement. Removing the wax can be fun too.

But that is not the kind of waxing I’m talking about.

The kind of waxing I am talking about is sometimes known as Brazilian waxing. This refers to the waxing of the entire genital and intimate areas of your body. Your penis, your bag, and your anus are waxed along with the groin and pubic area.

Whether it is considered a downside or an upside, you might find that the procedure gives you an erection. Brazilian waxing is not necessarily a pleasant feeling – but in reality pleasure is in the sensations of the individual and the sort of sensations that go along with such waxing might be considered. For some people, a little extra pain is pleasurable; for others a lot of extra pain is even more pleasurable. These are things to consider when you think about having a wax job. Having a erection during the waxing is a bonus because it’s a lot easier to wax a hard cock than it is to wax a soft one.

Needless to say you are not going to doze off during the procedure. Hard or soft, you are going to need to help the waxer hold your skin tight and shift your shaft so the waxer can get a good grip on the skin that needs to be waxed.

The Experience

There are two schools of thought on having a procedure such as penis waxing done. One is that the less you know about it the better. Just get someone who knows what they are doing when it comes to wielding the wax spatula and muslin to wax your happy pole and don’t anticipate pain or pleasure but just let it happen. You can make a better appraisal after the fact whether you liked it or not.

Some people say that once you start waxing you cannot stop. That’s not the case at all. Even after years of waxing, you can stop. Sure your hair will be finer and not quite as dense when it does grow back in. But as for not starting at all because you are afraid that it will become an ongoing issue of upkeep and tending that you will never be able to stop – do not give that a second thought.

Anyway, as I was saying, the other school of thought is that the more you know about something before you try it, the better off you are.

The two opposite sides of this coin presented a bit of a problem when I started describing this to you. I wanted to give some information to those of you who might have questions to ask and so far, that is just what has taken place here. Then I realized that the best thing to do is to present the technical details and the personal details. So first, let’s look at the personal details and after there I’ll talk more about the process and procedure.

Why – and this is the big question – would you want to have your penis waxed?

I was at a party with half a dozen friends and we talked about the notion of having a penis wax job done. Guy had been thinking about it and read up on it and was dithering about whether or not to go. I know Guy and knew that all it would take would be for someone else to say, “You know, I think I’ll give it a try,” and Guy would race to the nearest waxing salon and get his cock stripped just so he could say he was the first.

So – well you know what I did – I said, I’d try it.

Sure enough, Guy was off to the salon. Actually the salon did not make a practice of waxing wangs but Guy convinced them to try it – his argument was that it could not be much more difficult than waxing a bikini line.

The salon owner is a bit of a friend of Guy’s so of course, Guy got his waxing done.

It was marvelous, it was amazing, it was entirely painless, Guy extolled the virtues of having a clean, smooth penis. It just looks so much bigger, he says, and more marble-like. The feel of stroking it goes way beyond the usual skin-to-skin sensations. His fingertips were tingling from the sheer smoothness of his cock. “I just did not want to stop playing with it. You know what the problem was – if someone else was playing with it, I would only get one end of the sensational experience. My cock would feel the hands and mouth on it but it would not be my hands and my mouth getting feedback on that sensation.

But playing with his own cock was a whole new pleasure experience for Guy and he figured that if he could find someone else who had been waxed, perhaps that would be the best approach. Each of them could experience the giving and taking when it came to the same experience being shared.

I wanted my friend who was a licensed cosmetician to come to my house and wax my cock for me. But unlike Guy I didn’t want to announce that I was doing it. For one thing, I was not entirely sure that I could stand the hairs being ripped by the root from my stalwart companion. I’ve been into manscaping – having my pubes shaved into neat little shapes for years. But as for having hot wax slathered over Mr. Happy – that is another deal entirely.

My buddy set the mood to relaxation mode and chatted about interesting things while he went to work. No surprise, Mr. Happy sat right up long and tall at the first touch of the latex gloved hand, even before the first tiny application of wax.

“I’m only going to do a wee patch to begin,” my pal said. “That way if you change your mind, you won’t be going around half-waxed.”

The sensation was twingy but at the same time, intensely erotic. It was more pleasing than not but at the same time, I have to admit that even a low level of pain is not for everyone. (I have a high pain threshold – but that is another story.)

Guy was wild with excitement when we met again for drinks after work on Friday. He kept going on and on about the exquisite pleasure of a blow job – “it was so great – the entire length and I mean all of it – covered with lips and mouth and I could feel tongue on shaft like never before.”

Did it hurt? Someone asked.

“Who can remember?” What came after was so much better, any pain was worth it.

Even the guys on Second Life are getting waxed

My friend had told me that I should wait 24 hours before any sexual activity so I was somewhat skeptical about Guy’s immediate performance but he is impulsive so who knows?

The Bidet and Personal Hygiene

Given the fact bidet use  is common in so many countries around the world, why are Americans so reluctant to embrace this method of personal hygiene?

bidetIn case you’re not familiar with them, that’s a bidet on the right.

Simply put, even though toilet tissue is better than nothing, it doesn’t get you clean.  It smears, leaves residues that molder between your cheeks until your next shower; but you know that already, don’t you?  Hence the purpose of this article.  If you want things fresh and clean down there, you have to use water.  The easiest way to do that is with a bidet.

American men, from what I gather, think things like this are for women.  Not so, unless you don’t mind what the tissue leaves behind ending up on your underwear, or if you don’t mind tainting the air when you pull your pants down.  Human beings don’t have to smell that way down there.  If you spend time washing your hands after relieving yourself, why not a couple extra minutes cleaning your anus?

An excerpt from a piece I recently read:

Despite its mystique — and its reputation for being a fixture primarily for women — the bidet (pronounced “bih-DAY”) is nothing for the brawny American man to fear.

Shaving Pubic Hair

Posted on by

For a number of years now, the hair free pubic region look has been all the rage among men and women of all ages. Many people find the look of pubic hair unsightly, so they use various forms of pubic hair removal such as, laser treatment, electrolysis, waxing, and shaving. Male pubic hair removal is quite different from other types of hair removal, and the delicate skin in that area of the body needs to be given special consideration.

shaving1a

Men have of course been shaving their genital area for quite some time, but unfortunately there is still quite a bit of misinformation around about how to shave a man’s pubic hair properly. An improperly done male pubic hair removal job can result in pain, inflammation and even in permanent scarring, so it pays to look at what works, and what doesn’t, before getting started.

Some sort of male pubic hair removal has been practiced throughout history, although exact statistics on this intimate practice have of course been hard to come by. In modern times, male genital hair removal has been gaining wider acceptance since the 1990s, with many men favoring the clean shaven look that such hair removal provides.
