Humans are sensory, right?
Right on.
Some of us love to see things. We peruse through porn, notice beautiful sunsets, relish in art and photographs.
Then there are the people who love touch. The feel of their hands along their lovers backs, dipping themselves into a warm bath, satin or corduroy, silk or leather.
The people who like to hear love music, they love certain voices, certain intonations, rythyms, silence, even.
The tasters love food, the salty lick, the burst of flavor.
What's left?
Oh yeah. Smell.
I take a deep breath when someone walks by me... exhaling when they are next to me, and taking a big deep breath as they pass. I love the pleasant smell of shampoo, perfume, cologne and life. I even love the smells of sweat, musk, dirt, hard work and exhaustion.
It feels as if I can learn more about these people as they pass by me. The beautiful woman who smells of sex is as interesting as the plain guy who smells like the road.
The smell of a pig farm is amazing. The sweet scent of their daily mash, their dung, their lives... It all brings me back to my childhood.
The smell of the bed after sex reminds me of love. If not of love, at least of passion and pleasure.
Stale cigarette smoke makes me nostalgic... thinking of my grandparents house in Detroit.
Smells punctuate my life.
Not saying that my other senses don't go on overload from time to time- they surely do. My photographic past has led me to notice certain landscapes and people that would preserve well on film. My passion for good music has me constantly searching for a new band. My love of se- well, you get my point.
What smells good to you, Uber?
Off topic... look how big my dog is.

I love smell! i can't smell them right now as I have a cold, but i love them!
I love cologne. But I know it only smells good on certain people. At least, some colognes smell some on some people. A good smell can drive me wild! Good smelling deodorant mixed in with someone you love, equals yummy! It sounds gross, but I don't care.

The smell of honeysuckle reminds me of childhood summers, idly passed by with games of basketball and days of laughter spent at the Andover public swimming pool.
The smell of salt and suntan lotion are my beach smells. I cannot wait to go surfing.
These are my favorites.
How are you?

Daniel, if I was your girl, I'd never bathe. Just for you, pal. ;) Also, this kind of goes along with what you're saying there. I love to smell my boyfriend's head after a long day of working. I even told him that after we played tennis one day, I liked his sweaty head. He didn't believe me. Also, I love man-crotch smell. I've said too much.

Yeah but you'll only get a perk every 4 levels.
In any case I love the smell of hair and natural 'musk' but unwashed bellybutton is the foulest smelling thing of all. Why the fuck IS that?

I can't say that I ever forbid someone from showering... but I can see your point.
Smells are good with certian people- no matter what the smell is.

Me too. Sweet smelling girls drive me crazy. But here's where I'm gonna lose you.
Well, when it comes to sex, I don't want the sterilized, Pert freshness. I want to smell a woman. Several of my previous girlfriends were a bit freaked, when I asked then not to bathe for a day, but most did as told. (Be The Man.) Anyhow, nothing gets me off more than that tangy working-girl smell. I mean it gets animal! Not just the sex, but actually smelling HER, not some cosmetic bullshit. I'll stop.

(I copy pasted this from somewhere)
Gifted adults have a complex intellect and a burning desire for information. They have high levels of energy, intensity and sensitivity, set exceptionally high standards for themselves and others and are extremely hard on themselves. They are very independent and perceptive, like to be in control, are frequently driven, full of self doubt and often feel they must be self sufficient.

What smells good? Nothing, really. No sight, touch, smell, taste seems to be nice to me anymore, all I have is my old heavy metal and rock, which sadly is dying in my generation. It's great to have a life when nothing means anything to you, Ll is pointless. So empty, lonely...

Vanilla.
Something about the smell and taste of vanilla is just... mmmm.
A lot of women don't like vanilla perfume though. Shame.

My girlfriend smells really good. Cinnamon Rolls remind me of when I was young and I'd goto my cousin's and stay for the night, we would always have Cinnamon Rolls in the morning. Just stuff like that, little things.

Bob, you tard. Your dog is not six feet long. Maybe when it stretches, but there are only two or three breeds of dogs that get six feet long without stretching. Danes, Irish Wolfhounds, etc.
Don't be a liar.

Ok dont laugh but the smell of pussy is Irresistible. I love the smell of bread baking and the lawn just after being cut. Soft rain after a dry dusty day and fire and ice perfume.
Thats a weird toilet mat you have there miss nugget!

Smell is very powerful, it'll be interesting when scientists figure a little more about how scent triggers memories and all that. Good post...
