Hey, efropost, I’m glad to meet a kindred spirit – a panty scientist!  😉

Did you previously post on Mackenzie’s forum as “efrodian?”

The short answer to your question is yes, different women smell different, even when they are healthy non-smokers.  A longer answer to you question will delve into the reasons why.

I disagree with Ruby Red that diet or pH balance affect vaginal odor that much — at least, not in otherwise healthy ladies.  There has been a fair amount of science research done on how animals, including humans, respond to sexual odors.  It’s complex.  And while we humans may not quite be the slaves to our noses that other animals are, we do still react.

I’m going to cut and paste my comments from Mackenzie’s forum, so if you’ve read this before, my apologies:

In addition to being a panty enthusiast, I’m a biomedical scientist.  My professional knowledge tells me that different womens’ panties should indeed smell different.  And, not only that, there will be “different strokes for different folks.”  What smells great to you won’t do it for me, and vice versa.

Much of my work has been devoted to the study of a family of proteins called MHC proteins.  Most proteins in our bodies are the same from person to person.  The MHC proteins are one of the few exceptions.  The MHC proteins are part of our immune systems.  And the reason that they differ from person to person is to slow the spread of infections.  My body’s MHC might not fight a given virus very well, but yours might.  And that means the virus could stop with me.

The differences between MHC proteins have an important side effect.  They serve as a sort of unique chemical fingerprint which pretty much identifies you.  If you have heard about organ transplants, you know that the organ donor must be “matched” to the patient.  The MHC proteins are what need to be matched.

That chemical fingerprint probably serves a purpose in sex, too.  There is clear evidence from mice that MHC protein pieces are presented in their sweat and urine to other mice.  Mice with different smell patterns tend to seek each other out for mating.  A few studies in humans, in which women have been asked to smell the worn T-shirts of men, suggest that they seek out men whose MHC proteins are different than their own.  Seeking a partner with a different MHC than yourself is a way for you to maximize genetic diversity in your children.

Smells derived from MHC proteins aren’t really pheromones.  They don’t say “I want sex.”  What they do advertise is your genetic makeup.  All this suggests that there really is something to be said for the need for “chemistry” between partners.

I don’t think that the panty-sniffing MHC experiment has been done.  It might be a little hard to get funding for it from a government agency, don’t you think?  😉

I definately have some sort of fetish in regards to a man’s BO.

I have to clarify that there IS a line between BO and stank.  My preference is for a slighty pungent musky salty smell…

When we were just dating, and not sleeping together every night, my wife-to-be would ask me to give her my worn T-shirts.  When she was alone, she would sleep with them, smell them, and sometimes masturbate — sigh, those were the days.  You’re right, she didn’t want the ones I had drenched in sweat on a hard bicycle ride.  She wanted a normal one.

With my wife getting off on my shirts, why did it take me years and years longer to figure out what joys were hidden inside a woman’s panties?  Oh well, at least I discovered the secret eventually.

[Love2Smell]

Well, yes, I was going for maximum effect there.  The Yahoo News article doesn’t say how intense of a sweat stimulus they offered to the ladies who volunteered to do the sniffing.

My wife’s sweat does have a light, appealing smell, at least to my nose.  She’s grossed out by her smell when she comes back from her workout.  I’m ready to haul her off to bed.  :rolleyes:

Well, I posted the following remarks over on Mackenzie’s blog, and they got no replies there.  So let me try them here.

On her blog, Mackenzie wrote:

The funny thing is every woman smells different. I don’t believe there is a universal pussy scent. That’s why so many panty buyers have to shop around for the right seller– what’s good for one is less than satisfactory for another.

This is similar to what Anna wrote below:

One man’s perfume is another man’s gag reflex.

So let’s talk about that.  Yes, different women do indeed smell different.  Still, I’m not sure that the part of the bouquet that differs between women is the part that makes a pair of panties right or wrong for a buyer.  Let me share my personal experiences to explain why.

First, there’s The Real Thing, which is what I want more than anything else.  I have had the good fortune in my life to pleasure four ladies with my mouth.  Each of them had a fantastic, intoxicating scent.  The last of these women was my wife, who took to washing obsessively some years after we first met.  I know that it’s possible for a woman to wash her smell away.  When I go down on her now, I smell very little, and I miss it.

Second, there are found panties, not the purchased ones.  In my hamper-diving adventures, I have come across panties from four women.  Three of these women were NOT girlfriends of mine — only my wife was common between the two groups.  Almost all of these panties were, again, fantastic.  I come across one woman’s panties a few times a year. I think I only found one disappointing pair out of ten from her, and I believe she might have been on her period then.  My wife’s were quite nice too, until the preoccupation with “cleanliness” began.

Finally, there are panties that I have ordered.  Here, and only here, is where I have been disappointed more than I have been pleased.  I have tried four sellers so far.  I have one seller who has sent me two wonderful pairs, if a bit light.  Two sellers have sent me panties which have a “spoiled” smell, which I have never experienced anywhere else.  The fourth seller, I couldn’t smell at all.

At times I fantasize about meeting a panty seller in person, to have her take the panties straight off her body and hand them to me.  (Yes, Anna, you are responsible for putting that thought into my head!  😛 )  I believe that I wouldn’t have to “check her out” first — those fresh panties would smell fantastic to me.  I bet that putting my face between her legs would be best of all.

If Anna and Mackenzie’s theory is correct, then at least some of you gentlemen reading this — panty lovers all — should have encountered women in the flesh whose pussy smell turned you off (ignoring times when the woman was on her period, which I agree can smell a bit odd — it didn’t stop me from eating out my wife, though).  This has never happened to me personally.  I would swoon over every one of you ladies in person, I’m sure of it.

Anyway, back to the stories…I wonder if we should set up “panty traps” smt…leave our lovely samples somewhere and watch the hungry manimals come out LOL  lmao

Ooooh!  If you live anywhere in California, let me know so that I can hang around the place where you plan to set one of your traps.  :ohmy: :rolleyes: 😉 smt

Oh wait a minute — before I commit to this — what exactly do you plan to do to me once you catch me in your trap?  :huh: 😉

[Love2Smell]

This is exactly the kind of discussion I was hoping to provoke.  Thanks to you all, keep it coming!  🙂

Yes, I’m a geek.  And so is my wife, and our son.  The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth!  :coolsmiley:

(Apropos to panties — now, if my wife had just remained a horny geek, all would be well and you folks would have never met me…  :huh: )

Our family pre-ordered Deathly Hallows months ago, and we received it on the second day of publication.  For the most part, my wife, my son and I read it together out loud.  Here’s a creepy coincidence: we took the book with us on a camping trip.  We happened to read the chapters which took place in the tent, while we ourselves were in a tent!

All credit to Rowling for weaving a wonderfully complex story.  As we read chapter after chapter, I was thinking, “wait a minute, things were complicated enough at the end of Book Six.  And now she’s ADDING complications?  How can this story possibly end coherently?”  Well, the saga finished with a most satisfying bang, and everything made sense.

We also saw the Order of the Phoenix movie, and that was a disappointment.  As the series progresses, the books and the films are becoming increasingly disconnected.  The primary culprit would appear to be editing.  Rowling said that she wanted to retain editorial control over the films, but she would appear to have lost it.

Think about it — the first HP book was under 200 pages, and it was made into a 2.5-hour film.  Books Four through Seven are all over 600 pages — but Warner Bros. is STILL making films of the same length.  The Order of the Phoenix movie was actually ten minutes SHORTER than Sorceror’s Stone.  Adding back ten carefully-planned minutes to this most recent film could have cleaned up so many dangling plot details.  This would have not made Film Five any longer than the well-received Film One.

I don’t know why the later films are being handled so brutally.  It’s getting to the point where, if you haven’t read the books, you won’t understand the shorthand versions of what they show you in the films.  Kreacher, Cho, Ginny, and Dumbledore all get short shrift in Film Five, in ways that will seriously impact the story later on.

I started noticing this editing problem with the Goblet of Fire film.  Cutting Dobby out of that film will cause problems later.  Woe to the director of Film Seven, who will be told to clean up the mess they’ve made in the previous three films.  The Potter film series will end up, unfortunately, like the Star Wars series — loads of potential, but plot holes everywhere.

Dear Rev. Haggard AKA “OnCliff,”

Methinks thou doth protest too much.  Enjoy your panties and don’t feel guilty about it.  Peace.  😉

Joyce, your image appears to be missing — and I for one would love to see it!

Nice story Love2smell. You don’t think maybe your wife suspects?

No, my wife would be devastated if she had any sense that any other woman had any attention at all from me.  It wouldn’t even have to be sexual attention.

How she can reconcile that possessiveness with often forgetting to kiss me on the way out the door to work, and only being relaxed enough about life to make love with me about twice a month, is something I would really, really, REALLY like to understand.  :huh:

[Love2Smell]

You said that I could vote for two categories, and I did, because no single category accurately describes my situation.

I chose “I’m proud and my partner knows and enjoy them with me”, and “I love panties but I have to hide my fetish.”  Yes, those two choices are sort of contradictory.  Allow me to explain…

I’m a panty lover.  My wife knows I love the smell of her cunt.  She finds that interest to be a bit weird, but she accepts it.  Several years ago, when I would travel on business, she would occasionally offer me a scented treasure to take with me.  So far, so good.

What my wife doesn’t know is that, even though I was doing her laundry for years, I didn’t first discover the magic in her panties.  No, that honor goes to her adult daughter.  I arrived in my wife’s life when her daughter was living with her Mom, just before she left for college.  And the daughter’s panties are SO much more aromatic than her Mom’s…  :rolleyes:

This, of course, my wife will never know.  And she will also never know that I have purchased panties over the Internet, to help me through dry spells in our sex life…

I’ve got a longer version of this story over in the Stories section here at Panty Hog.

Mind you, I never took an interest in my wife’s daughter.  As wonderful as her panties smell, her Mom IS the woman for me!

Chorgasmic: That brilliant feeling after making a girl come whilest going down on her…normally 20 minutes after your jaw has siezed up.

It took me a minute to understand this one, because in my head I kept pronouncing it “core-gasmic” instead of “chore-gasmic.”  Then I got it!  Nice one!

OK, I’ve got another one:

Forkplay: The preferred overture to sex among BDSM enthusiasts.  Ow.
