Sex doesn’t really smell like anything after the first few times. If you’re doing it with the same person over and over again it’s something you don’t notice. It can sort of smell like sweat with a hint of “body odor”, but that’s about it.
I covered loneliness and shame already!
Not IN the act, but coming home after work the next day, nobody else has walked in and thought “Yup… that happened.”?
And THAT, sir, I can’t comment on. That’s between you and…well…your…mom.
Damn. It’s not funny now.
Maybe if you changed Mom to Wife.
Q. What does sex smell like?
A. Your wife (or girlfriend, woman, squeeze, side action, what ev’)
Mom or Sister just sounds…ewwwww!
Just tryin’ to be helpful.
Longer story arc
I tried it and it made me realize that there’s a huge distinction to be made between “the smell of sex” and “the smell of sexual organs”. It’s not just the intermingling of male and female juices. It’s much more powerful than that.
I remember house sitting with a girlfriend about a hundred years ago where we had sex on the couch and then fell asleep. When we woke, the owners were due back at any moment but we realized that the room absolutely reeked of sex. It wasn’t an unpleasant smell by any means (we were quite proud of ourselves actually) but we knew the owners would have recognized what we’d been up to right away. We had to open every window and door in the house to make the smell go away.
Nah, that’s when you sit there with a shit-eating grin.
