I’ve noticed arm pit odor can at times smell Mexican foodie or Indian buffetish, but my partners pits smell like an well crafted IPA tastes…not bad at all. ---

Well this turned out less than positive for an answer, but entertaining nonetheless. I didn’t think maybe it is how I perceive the smell, or maybe something else. My ass is cleaner than most! Don’t ask how I know what another persons smells like up close. Maybe it was perfume and ass or something, nevermind. lol. Seriously, maybe it is perception of it. I do also tend to notice armpit smell on people does smell like mexican food (heavy on the red onion), and dog paws do indeed smell like popcorn, or frito’s. Not cilantro though, I love the taste of it but so many swear it tastes like dirt, i’ll leave that up to beets. yick! ---

That’s interesting. My husband tells me that my pits smell like grapefruit when I’ve haven’t showered. It’s not my deodorant either. ---

> [@anomalous1](#): > > Sorry for the title, it’s a serious question. > > You know the smell you or someone else would get around the anus after working out or sweating or whatever for a couple hours, Perhaps they farted a lot more than normal. The reason is that the work out squashes down on the intestines, colon, etc and lets the gas flow through. I know that my ex’s chest xray had a healthy set of lungs, but across the lower lobes of the lungs, it showed up a intestine with a hole it in it… the hole was just gas though… revealing that her slow walk that was as much excercise she ever did, wasn’t enough to move gas along. Pretty much anything more than a slow walk will get that gas flowing. ---

You love the taste of dog paws ? :rolleyes: Seriously, your senses may be unique compared to others. ---

Noooo! You don’t have to taste dog paws…you smell them…seriously they smell like popcorn…it is a strange phenomenon… (I see you’re testing the theory) ---

> [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > How would anus oil help digestion? By then it’s too late. Maybe there are vestigial glands which secrete pheromones which were useful to our distant ancestors in the pre-Homo days. Maybe in the last common ancestor of dogs and people. I mean, dog’s glean all kinds of information sniffing around each others butts. ---
