Two days and it’s still at a steady 50% with a firm yes. ---

> [@rachelellogram](#): > > I guess my question is why this is ONLY a male thing. I have never heard of a woman sniffing a dude’s used undies. I’m a female, and the thought p much grosses me out. In a recent reader’s digest artilcle, the wife watches the mother of a soldier who was killed in Afg/Iraq (I forget which) sniff his returned tee-shirts. They were dividing up the dead soldiers’s belongings. The wife knows that the mother won’t sense anything because she has already sniffed them and knows that the Army has laundered them. This was not a sexy thing but an attempt to get some remembrance of the dead loved one thing. by the way, my “recent” may not be the same as your “recent”. Jon ---

What is to be gained by smelling used panties? Do you sniff for the pee smell or the poo/fart? If you see a shitstain do you still sniff? Otherwise pussy pretty smells kinda unpleasant. This is why they don’t make air fresheners that smell like pussy I think. ---

Oh no. I am not going to admit this. Nice try, though. ---

It’s a fairly common kink, I suppose. I can see why guys would do this, but it’s not my bag. ---

I’ve done it before. It’s pleasant IMHO but not a huge turn on. Any guy who enjoys cunnilingus probably has a nice association with that smell. ---

Fact of the matter is, I do enjoy the tongue between action and my wife, before travelling, has left a pair under my pillow for me with a note under my car keys to remind me of her. What’s not to like? You can sniff and enjoy your woman. (JO material). Women, no understanding required. Now, stealing panties is just weird.
