This is SOOOOO IMHO, or possibly MPSIMS. I’m moving it to IMHO. ---

I’ve never met your boyfriend.😛 Welcome to the SDMB camkorn. Poll like questions like this usually belong in the “In my humble opinion” section. But I’ll tell you this, it’s not overly unusual for some folk to get turned on by the unwashed. I’d be willing to bet it has something to do with the smell that’s doing it to you. Pheramoans. ---

I think it should be in the pit, so we can really tell her what we is going on in our minds. ---

Well, I have a hair fetish, period. (I think most males do, but mine is very well-developed.) And sometimes when I’ve buried my face in the sweaty, greasy hair at the nape of my girlfriend’s neck it’s been that much more effective in turning me on. (Hell, just the memory is very effective. Down boy.) But the sweat and grease has always been from a recent sweaty, greasy activity (use your imaginations) - not days old funkified sweat. But regardless - never be ashamed of your fetishes. You’re not a pervert, child molester or anything, just human. Don’t badger your boyfriend, either, if he doesn’t like it. What you should do is find out what your boyfriend’s fetish(es) is(are) and fulfill them for him. Then he’ll owe you one. 😉 Another idea - go camping for a long weekend, or even a whole week. Spend a lot of time in your twin sleeping bag. You’ll both get rather skanky by week’s end. ---

I like it when my girlfriend tells me my hair smells nice. Of course, I’m dating a midget. ---

Can’t confess to this particular fetish, although I agree it has to do with your sense of smell. I’ve not experienced my SO truly dirt-dirty, but I love the way he smells before, during and after we’ve been ‘active’, as well as any other activity that produces sweat. He smells good dry, too. We haven’t done the camping thing…hmmmmmm…
