You Can Smell Someone’s Gender, Says Science

[thehun]

I have a friend who is what you could call asexual. He never showed any interest in women (or men); originally we thought he was just an extremely shy tech-nerd type (he grew up mostly in the company of computers and very few friends), but eventually we discovered he didn't use any porn either.

Later I learned that when he was very small he had a severe nose infection which made him lose his sense of smell completely, and I believe it is very much related to his lack of interest in sex. I guess not being able to sense any scent just blocks your libido. Of course this could be just a happy coincidence but I do think there is a correlation.

I usually find people who claim to be asexual genuinely aren’t and there's other things going on for his/her lack of apparent sexdrive, or they're just lying about it. And ow do you know he doesn't watch porn? I think a few of my mates have denied in the past that they don't watch porn, but I know that they're liars  .

I know because I shared a flat with him for a year and all the rest of us would talk openly about porn, girls, etc and he wasn't really shy about it, just uninterested. I doubt very much he would have made such an effort to fool everyone. I also know other people who denied watching porn, but they did have an interest in women/sex so it was quite obvious they lied (or in a minority of cases maybe they really didn't for religious or similar reasons).

Well guys can I say this to you all, I dont know it it counts but when I was younger and I heard my parents doing the whammy jamm, I use to smell there sexual scent all over there room.  so is that a bunch of pheromones getting mixed up together in the air that gives that musky sex scent.

Its easy to check, put a blind fold around person eyes and see if he/she can call just showered 0 perfume people gender correctly via gender smell. Who here have tried it?

I doubt they'd be able to smell anything. If the person had just washed without any scented soaps or shampoos a person probably just wont have any smell at all, or more more importantly one human noses cant pick up.
