Attraction.

First, it’s important to realize that every person is unique and individual. What gets the juices quickly flowing for one woman may be an instant turn-off for another. This applies to olfactory response as well as to visual stimuli, tactile reactions, etc.

Pheromones.

That said, there are some generalizations concerning sensual attraction and response that do apply to most people. In the area of olfactory response, there has been a great deal of attention in recent years to pheromones, sensual hormones that carry a distinctive scent. References to pheromones can be found in numerous advertisements for perfumes and colognes designed to attract members of the opposite gender.

But pheromones occur naturally in both men and women. Some studies have found that male pheromones can be released through the natural sweat process and that these can have a strong effect on increasing receptivity in females.

Types of sweat.

If that is the case, does that mean that a sweaty man is a sensual magnet for many women? And for the purposes of this article, does that mean that sweat-based male organ odor is likely to be packed full of pheromones? To answer that, one must look a little closer at what kind of sweat is reputed to have this pheromonal appeal.

Basically, there are two kinds of male sweat hormones. One, androstenol, refers to the pheromone that results from fresh sweat. For example, when a man and a woman are in the throes of passionate kissing and cuddling, the sweat a man produces will contain androstenol, and this is likely to act as a sensual stimulant. It is freshly produced and has a distinct aroma.

On the other hand, after sweat has been exposed to oxygen for a short time, it changes to androstenone. This is the smell often negatively associated with male sweat; it has a stale aroma that is not typically associated with sensual excitement in a potential mate. This is the sweat that men have when, say, finishing up a great workout at the gym. (Ironically, the male hormone boost from a good workout often makes a man feel more sensually stimulated – and may lead him to believe that his workout sweat will have a similar effect on a partner.)

Male organ odor.

Most of the time, male organ odor is packed full of androstenone rather than the more stimulating androstenol. That’s because most male organ odor is related to sweat created over the course of a day, when the manhood is tucked away behind two layers of sweat-producing clothing. Not only does this create sweat; it also traps sweat in the area, increasing the odor factor.

A typical exception is, again, when sweat is produced in the manhood area while a man is unclothed. The fresh sweat, especially if it occurs on a member that has been recently cleansed, may then contain androstenol and therefore may have the desired effect.
Usually, male organ odor is not a sensual stimulant and may in fact be a deterrent. That’s why using a superior male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) is desirable. The most effective crème will contain vitamin A, the anti-bacterial effects of which can help to reduce smells created by bacteria. In addition, a crème that includes a high-end emollient like Shea butter is an excellent choice. Shea butter will naturally moisturize the skin to help with dryness caused by oil depletion from excess sweating. Maintaining a healthy-looking and healthy-smelling member makes one’s manhood vastly more appealing.
