I don’t really have a problem with the concept, I guess, but it doesn’t appeal to me. Let’s get clinical here - the quality of men’s underwear is vastly different from women’s underwear. When a woman is aroused, you presume she is wetting her panties - herein the idea that maybe by sniffing a woman’s panties you might get a scent of her sex.
When a man is aroused, first of all you need to have a man that leaks. And then semen, I’m sorry to say, doesn’t really have that erotic of a smell. It smells like salty seas, as compared to a woman’s musk. If your man doesn’t leak, or wasn’t aroused, and is a clean man, you get no special smell you couldn’t just get by sniffing his shirt, as **gracer **so graciously demonstrates.
Now smelling a man’s shirt? I’ve done this several times when I was younger. I even slept with his shirt sometimes. Now I’m old and jaded and don’t do it anymore.
No, never any women. I do know one guy who copped to doing it, mostly because he has a bad habit of getting drunk on ventrilo and asking ladies to mail him used underthings.
HAHAHAHA! I went straight to your post, read it, but couldn’t work out what you had actually done. I was terrified of scrolling to the top to see what the thread was about. Bhahaha! You brave, brave man. FOR SCIENCE(!)!
This topic has triggered a memory of something I saw on TV so I did a bit of googling … I remembered watching a CSI episode about this very thing called “The Panty Sniffer”.
Series: ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation’
Episode Title: ‘The Panty Sniffer’
Episode Number: Season 10. Episode -16
Synopsis: “Catherine and Detective Vartann are thrown together in a hotel room for 24 hours as they stake out a duo making drugs in the room next door. Meanwhile, Nick and Langston work a case that involves a fetish which has become big business in Vegas.”
Original Airdate: April 01, 2010
I found a review of the episode and pasted part of the synopsis here:
<snip> While Catherine and Vartann stake out the drug dealers, Archie Kao stumbles across the body of Sasha Katsaros, the hotel’s event planner, on the loading dock. Archie notices the woman isn’t wearing any underwear, and head of security Finn Thomas tells Langston and Nick that Sasha was overseeing a private auction hosted by Lon Rose. The two CSIs visit the auction and learn the exclusive items being auctioned are worn women’s underwear vacuum-sealed in bags—or taken directly from models. <snip>
I remember in the episode, the CSI guys walked around the auction and the women were wearing sexy outfits along with the panties. Guys were walking around leering at them, trying to decide which ones they wanted to buy. I remember feeling totally creeped out by this! I wonder if this is something that really takes place or just made up for CSI? In Vegas, anything is possible!!!
I seem to remember a story about two old ladies selling used panties. They got young girls to wear them. I think they got into trouble over it, I think because one of their granddaughters was helping ans she was under 18? Can’t remember all the details.
If you google selling used panties there are quite a few people claiming to do it.
I knew a guy who wanted my used pantihose that I was going to throw away because of the runs in them. He said he liked to wear pantihose under his pants for warmth. I thought ok whatever, until he said he didn’t want me to wash them first.
I’m male and have a really bad sense of smell. Probably because of that, I’ve never felt compelled to sniff. I assume that the smell men want from panties is specifically sexual, right? Do men have a smell that isn’t just “sweaty old goat,” or is that in itself sexual?
I went on a date once with a woman who claimed to sell her smelly panties. I was never sure if she was just being open about a side business, trying to titillate me, or going for a sale.
I don’t think she told me what she charged but I remember she set her price based on how far away the pervert was and thus how far she had to travel. It’s such a funny pricing model. If I were a pervert I’d be like, 'I have to pay THREE TIMES as much just because I can’t find any skanks who live near me??"
