To think he must be dirty down ‘there’!

[MumOfBoys12345]

Am I being unreasonable to think that if a man has BO and doesn’t have a particularly physical job that it’s because he hasn’t washed and used a deodorant? And if he hasn’t washed his armpits then he hasn’t washed his penis? It just occurred to me the other day. I don’t mind a bit of BO if you’re in very very close range but when it smells from a few metres away, how clean are those penises?

I imagined it to be dick batter

There could also be an element of autocorrect there

Makes perfect sense though.
I couldn't see any logic behind it before.

What a very strange thing to suddenly think about?!

Often the BO smell is actually from clothes rather than being dirty.

I wouldn’t automatically assume that, no. I have a friend who showers twice a day and uses strong deodorant but still smells of BO. She’s seen doctors about it and it’s just a thing for her, unfortunately. She has recently had Botox in her armpits and it’s eased it somewhat for her.

Worth noting, as someone has already mentioned a stress, or peri - menopause could cause BO on someone who has freshly showered, wearing clean clothes and previously never suffered from it. So be gentle with person! I guess they won't have knob cheese as they don't have knob!

Vomit.

Oh dear, I was just about to eat a chocolate eclair, I don't wan't to read about body smells, penises,or even men !

I feel sick

In the oldie days, they had this phrase,as in going to have sex,which was,lets get down and dirty ha ha

There is a condition that no matter how often a person washes and deodorises still smells. Worked with someone who was very clean as was her house but always smelled. She was very aware and used to bring a change of top to work and changed at lunch time. Eventually had her arm sweat glands removed as she became so depressed about the condition.

I used to think this about my old boss he stank of wet dog like it was horrendous you could smell him from across the room 🤮 someone actually bought him soap 🧼 for Christmas and got a disciplinary for it! I don’t think anyone had been near him in a very long time though I’d love to know how he’s managing now he’s been made redundant as I can’t imagine him scrubbing up for an interview 🤮

Only once come across a mucky willie in my life, regardless of uncutness or time of day. Even with the one I did encounter, as soon as he realised he ran off to the bathroom in embarrassment and came back washed.

Re BO, there's a difference between that and the long-term unwashed smell I often encounter on public transport.

Some people are sweaters, regardless of physical activity. I've smelt some deos that (to me) stink, one that springs to mind instantly, is that fucking godawful doobry (spelling) that was all the rage in the 90s.

Myself, I feel I can be a bit stinky at the end of the day, and I don't work due to disabilities, leave alone have a physical job.

I can assure the ladies present, that I do wash everyday, and I do use expensive antiperspirant (occasionally a night out antiperspirant lynx) that promises 48hrs, and to me, didn't last 12 hrs.

Apart from that stink above, the smell I hate more, and fucking despise more than B.O. is bo plus half a can of lynx!

Mind, my female counter parts are as guilty of spraying on top of sweat as any male.

As for a smeggy cock, I can assure you I've not had one since I was about 13/14 😎 even if sometimes I've stunk at the end of the day.

However, if OPs fantasy about the smelly bloke is stinky in the morning, then that is a dirty fucker, but at the end of the day... Maybe doesn't wear a good antiperspirant, and instead goes for a fashion smell which don't last all day

DP insists that I don't smell. Seems that it's been linked to having the genetic variant that gives you dry earwax.

Still wash & shower (plus baths for Psoriasis) and put clean clothes on daily/have a clean bed. I just don't squirt random aerosols over myself each morning. If I smell of anything, it's whatever lotions and potions I've had to put on to protect/heal my skin. Or Rosewater if I've bunged some in the last rinse of my hair to try and soothe my scalp.

The only thing worse than smelling dirty IMO, is smelling dirty and dousing yourself with cheap deodorant to try and cover it. If I had the chance to be ruler of the world, I'd instantly ban all Lynx sprays forever. And Tommy Hilfiger, as that stuff is so overpowering, it makes my eyes water and my throat close up, but owners seem to think it covers up any body odour. Nope, it just adds another acrid layer to it.

No, not at all. I shower every other day and wash the days in between. There are occasions where I can get particularly hot and can suffer with body odour. But I have remedies to get rid of this. It certainly doesn't mean I don't wash down below. Body odour can affect anyone, it just depends on they treat it.

MitziK DH has that and he never smells either. He smells of fresh sweat but I have never smelt BO on him. His feet however are a different story. I would stink if I forgot to use deodorant, he never does.

I had an ex who used to wait until I had put make up on ready to go out then wipe his smeg across my face. I wish I were joking. He was disgusting and that was just one of the reasons I left him.

@Anarchyshake I am ROARING at your comment - all of it! You’re fab

I knew there was a good reason why I've never wanted a Smeg fridge...

Many years ago I was on a first (and only) date with a bloke who later started getting friskier in the car than I wanted. He unzipped his fly, and suffice it to say that the smell emanating from it was enough to have me exiting that car PDQ.

I really want to stop reading this thread but I can't

Oh god this has reminded me of a disturbing incident a few years before I met DH....

Was getting erm ‘down to it ‘ with a guy but we’d been out all day and he was a bit sweaty and stinky so nipped to the bathroom to freshen up .... but on his return I was confronted with the mansausage still not smelling particularly nice and now with flecks of grimy soap as well. I presume he rubbed it down with a cheap bar of soap or something. Utterly grim 🤢🤢🤮🤮

Some people swear when stressed or anxious too. So there's other reasons for being suddenly whiffy.
