Hello all, this is gonna start off a little weird but , My girlfriend constantly huffs my scent, no matter my state but especially when I’m sweaty. I ask why all the time but her only answer is “you smell amazing”. I don’t think I do. Especially not when fresh out the gym but it made me wonder about those things when people talk about pheromones in their partners scent making them go crazy. I thought it was stupid since we are a bit too evolved to be all primal like that (yes I know humans are still animals, but we’ve literally made weapons of mass destruction, there’s no way we can’t resist this). But ever since I’ve experienced this almost daily I’m starting to rethink it. And with this comes a follow up question. Why doesn’t it work on me? My girlfriend doesn’t have a strong scent of her own, her sweat doesn’t even stink(I am both amazed and jealous)and from what I’ve heard pheromones are mainly impacted from bonds formed in relationships. I love her very much so you’d think I’d be crazy for her scent but, there’s just. Nothing to smell? I want to know if there’s any real science or explanation for this. I’ve tried to do a bit of research on my own but it was all either very vague or just strange fetishes and kinks. Real answers are appreciated and discussion is welcomed.
