It’s called Stank Booty here where I live, and it’s quite the cock block actually.
i had no idea if you don’t have a shower before a date you instantly turn into a smelly monster
is this an american thing specifically?
I mean.... I think it depends on the guy. Some guys have a strong body odor and first impressions matter a LOT. Also dates are usually at the end of the day when y'all are at your stankiest from the day's activities.
If you're showering regularly, that really shouldn't be that much of an issue unless you have a very active job outside.
Every woman I know loves their boyfriend/husband's "musk" when they're sweaty. That's a pretty common partner thing.
My wife loves to gargle my salt and vinegar balls after a long hard summer's day of manual labor.
I mean, I wash off my nethers before bed for that reason, but I don't take a full shower. I don't even get my top half wet. My wife loves my natural smell at the end of the day.
