Well,I am 18 and I "like" my own smells,and I wonder if it's a problem or not.It sounds very disgusting and weird :/ I like every smell of myself(my sweat,my armpits,even my vagina) I can say that sometimes I am addicted to smell myself.I have ocd,if that helps.But I get disgusted when it comes to an other person,I like only my own smells.I also have heard that only lesbians like the smell of their vagina but I'm not a lesbian?!! Is that true? I have never been sexually atracted to an other girl,only to hot boys,how can I be lesbian? The whole thing is kinda weird

Well, I can't exactly speak from experience, but I think women are often "taught" that their feminine smell is bad--like through commercials advertising products for covering the smell up. Unless you feel emotional attraction to other women, I don't think that is a sign of being gay. My opinion, anyway.....

[evangeline95]

I have heard many people are like me and have read many subjects about it.no I do not feel sexual attractions towards other woman lol

Don't worry about silly comments like that. If you're not attracted to women, then you're NOT a lesbian. Forget what you 'hear.' You're perfectly normal.

Just because you like the way you smell doesn't make you a lesbian. So stop worrying, okay? Hugs, Lee

liking your own smells just means you like your self, are comfortable in your own body. you have bonded with your self, you love you..

I like my smells, my wife likes my smells, my mother tells me stories about how she would sit and rock me and smell me.

my brother likes his hair, my sister likes her feet, my father likes his ...well what do most men like about their self..lol

anyway its perfectly normal to like ones own body, be comfortable in ones own body, whether that love for one self is for their hair, figure, body part or smells. its a normal human thing..usually its those that dont like their self that have problems like self esteme, self worth, suicidal, self injury, eating disorders and other problems associated with not liking their self.

I don't think you have smelled everyone else there is yet to know if you like/don't like another person's smells. Here's a good article that might explain or encourage you:

The Sense of Smell Institute

I agree with the others. I don't know who ever came up with the idea that only lesbians like the smell of their vaginas, but that's just silly. I love how I smell after a fresh shower. I don't generally smell my vagina, but I have, just to make sure everything smelled normal. If you get pleasure from smelling yourself, keep doing it! It doesn't hurt anyone, and gosh knows, there are lots of bad things you could do instead! Maybe this ROFLcat pic will make you feel good, even though it's more about taste:

I like the smell of newborn babies!!!Probably from all the baby powder on them!!!

It is very normal to think about the smells or scents we have. It is normal to even want to check our own scents and become familiar with our "normal" scents. And when we do this and identify what is "normal" to our own scents, we will be able to detect when something is not right about our scent.

When someone's health is compromised their scents can change so to be "aware" of our own natural scents can help us to recognize something might be wrong.

I like doing it too. BO, hair grease, dirty gums, ****, vagina.
I thought I was the only one who admitted to doing this!
I thought it just means I have a gross streak in me. Sometimes I wipe the smells onto myself or wipe somewhere then stick finger up my nose, etc. lol
I'm totally serious btw.
