To love the smell of my boyfriends armpit?

I know I'm a weirdo.
I love it, particularly at the end of the day when it's all musky and manly...
I especially like to bury my face in it.
AIBU?
What weird things do you like that other people would find odd??

We have an influx of people who want us to share gross things. Why?!!

Pseudonym99 · 05/06/2016 16:03

It's called pheromones. The chemicals that attract people to the opposite sex.

DefinitelyNotAJourno · 05/06/2016 16:04

... Or the same sex, grr!

Yes, perfectly natural.

ISaySteadyOn · 05/06/2016 16:29

Perfectly natural. DH's scent is very calming to me. Don't think it is weird at all. We are animals after all.

Well not the armpit, but I know what you mean about that musky man smell. Apart from when I'm pregnant and then man smell smells like strong BO and urine.😷😷😷

Sparklingbrook · 05/06/2016 16:45

I agree Purple.

YASNBU

I love to snuggle under my husbands arm pits and sniff them. He is one of those rare lucky ones who don't get smelly BO, so he jut smells of lovely man!

I don't think it's a gross thing to do Purple

NowSissyThatWalk · 05/06/2016 16:53

YANBU at all. I'll often nestle right into my DP's pit after a long day whilst he sits there awkwardly
Agree with PP that it is something to do with pheromones. I believe the more attracted you are to a mates natural scent, the bigger the difference in your genetic pool, as your brain is attracted to what it doesn't have IYSWIM.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Sallystyle · 05/06/2016 16:53

doesn't get

Jodie1982 · 05/06/2016 16:58

I'm 8wks preggy and hate the smell of my DP, I usually don't mind....but not the onion bhaji pits! 😷

kerryob · 05/06/2016 19:54

I love my dh's smell, he gets paranoid about smelling of sweat/BO but I love to snuggle up to him at night. I find it comforting in a weird way Grin

Namechangeforthebadstuff · 05/06/2016 19:59

Me too! That's it, it's a real comfort thing.
He never smells of BO but just of...him!

This used to be a comfort thing for me with exh! I used to snuggle into him and sniff at his pits Grin, it made me so relaxed.

Momamum · 05/06/2016 20:24

I broke off from someone cos I hated his body smell and had to get away from him. The Paco Rabanne didn't mask the sheer incompatibility once things got hot Wink

Best thing ever, was not a nice man, it turned out.

Peyia · 05/06/2016 20:33

It's definitely love Grin

DownUnderBound · 06/06/2016 11:03

Not just you, I love it too, especially after a long day before he's shower. He's never smelt so manly haha

TheNaze73 · 06/06/2016 11:16

YANBU. Just wish some of the dudes & dudesses, stood with their arms up on the central line this morning, weren't as 'fragrant' for all the wrong reasons....
