Inspired by the Crime Scene thread that I’m sure we’re all familiar with by now, I just wanted to ask this question.
Obviously not all males sniff panties. I don’t know the percentage of men who make a regular activity out of it, but while it’s not extremely common it’s probably not all that rare either.
But, I’ve probably never in my life heard of a woman doing it. In fact, the idea just seems bizarre to me.
So… on the off-chance that any females here would admit to it, do any of you or have any of you sniffed male underwear for sexual gratification?
For the males reading this thread, have you ever known any women to be into sniffing a guy’s underwear?
To be perfectly honest, although I’ve heard of this for years, I don’t know any guys who sniff panties, either. Nor have I heard of any who do, either among people I know or know of, or even via police reports or the like, by strangers. I’ve only heard of it in the abstract, and it seems equally weird for guys or gals to do it.
Yeah, other than in the abstract, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a real guy or girl with an actual underwear-sniffing thing. I mean, aside from that one creepy thread about some dude’s friend stealing his wife’s panties and I think I saw it in a porn once (though that may or may not qualify). Granted, people don’t generally make it a habit of telling me their sexual fantasies, fetishes, and miscellaneous turn ons, so… y’know.
Either way, I’m going to answer I’ve never heard of a woman doing it because I haven’t.
Certainly never heard of a woman doing it. Don’t boxer shorts give less proximity to the crotch anyway? They wouldn’t have as much smell as worn women’s knickers.
I have heard of a RL situation of a knicker-sniffer: a friend who worked in a lingerie shop. A guy used to try to sneak in and sniff knickers. Which is weird, because presumably many had never been worn, and those that had would’ve been over another pair of knickers and only briefly. So I’m not sure what he was after. He did get his kicks that way though, they were sending him away on a daily basis.
ETA: OK, that’s it. For science I am going to smell my SO’s boxers now. If I don’t come back… you will find my body by the laundry basket.
My SO wears loose boxers. I stuck my nose in there and inhaled deeply, thoroughly examining all sides. It smelled… nice. Like my SO. Just washing powder and a somewhat crotchy smell, but not bad at all. No farty smell or anything.
TMI
Not of semen either, which it would if he had been super turned on while wearing them.
On the whole, the smell was nice, not bad at all. Bearing in mind this is a man I love, I don’t want to smell just anyone’s boxers. Also, he’s pretty clean.
It’s not very interesting though. I mean, he’s a nice smelling guy and I could just go and smell the real him if I wanted. Why would I stick my nose in his boxers? But who knows, maybe sometime when he is away and that is all I have to remind me…
The only person I know who has ever admitted to this habit was a lesbian who had a crush on the mom in the family she was babysitting for. Part of her duty was to do the laundry and she admitted to being tempted but allegedly did not sniff any laundry.
I personally find the idea of sniffing anyone’s dirty (UK) pants revolting.
Back before I’d ever heard of the practice I was sharing a cottage with a guy and two girls. The guy was always offering to take our laundry to the laundrette. I took him up on it a couple of times. Then the other girls said no way would they let him as he probably wanted to sniff their knickers. I was like yuck, but not actually bothered by the implications as I’d always carefully removed all my underwear from my washing before giving it to him, as I thought it would be nasty to expect anyone else to handle them. I don’t know if the guy was actually into sniffing knickers or was just trying to be a Nice Guy.
Here’s the problem with panty sniffing. Who the heck openly admits to panty sniffing?
Sure, you may get a few to admit it over the anonymous cover of the internet. But are you really going to go up to your buddy and say: “Man, I was sniffing some awesome panties last night. It was great!”
A friend of mine did and it was such an odd experience. Here’s the gist of what happened, to the best of my recollection:
I’m either 18 or 19, just out of high-school (so maybe 15 years ago), and my friend was a year younger than me. We had both had a class together a year earlier with a female friend of ours. At the time, she was one of my closest friends and he had a major thing for her. If I recall correctly, she knew about it.
So we are both hanging out at her house, waiting to go do something, and she had to leave to go do something. Maybe run up to the store or possibly mowing the lawn, I can’t remember, I just remember she was gone for something like 10 - 20 minutes. I was basically just wandering around her den looking at some of the books that the family had (I wasn’t ‘invading’ or anything, it was basically the room we had been hanging out in). My friend tells me that he has to go to bathroom. Nothing unusual.
I remember it had been a while and I was probably thinking that my friend was stinking up her bathroom - as he was always ready to do at my house. He finally comes back with this cross between a shit-eating grin and guilt on his face. I ask whats up and he pulls out a pair of panties from his pocket and literally inhales deeply from them with a disgusting look of contentment on his face as he’s doing it. The entire thing was so bizarre and alien to me - I just stood there. It didn’t even occur to me that the panties were our friends. I asked him what he was doing and he said something to the effect that he found them in our friends dirty clothes (I have a vague memory where he said a bunch of other things related to what he was trying to smell). I was grossed out and appalled and told him to put them back pronto. Which he did, reluctantly and after a lot of back and forth. What finally spurned him to activity was that I told him that I’d tell her that he had her panties. So I went with him to put them back. The entire thing sketched me out.
Our friend finally gets back from where ever she was and I didn’t say anything to her then. We went out and did whatever it was we were supposed to do. The next opportunity I had to talk to her I told her what had transpired - basically as a means of warning her because I felt she needed to know about the violation of trust. I can’t remember whether I told her over the phone or in person, but I do remember that she wasn’t comfortable around him unless I was there from that point on. That said she never let on that she had been betrayed in that fashion.
(I wear boxers though… most of the time)
