An Excuse Not To Shower...Female Input Please
http://www.yahoo.com/s/502082
Quote:
Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley said women who sniffed a chemical found in male sweat experienced elevated levels of an important hormone, along with higher sexual arousal, faster heart rate and other effects.

Now, since we established there are a grand total of 6 women here, what are their feelings of this recent "study"?

"A chemical found in male sweat"
Obviously not a deluge of BO

OK, this is going to sound strange, but I love the smell of a (most) guys sweat, as long as its "fresh sweat". There's a big difference between the way a guy smells right after he's been working out vs. the way a hockey bag smells. So no, you still have to shower.
More interesting stuff on smelly things....

Cue the AXE guys trying to synthesize and bottle this compound as another phermone scam.

No suprise there, male pheramones (sp?) would be found in sweat and if you can believe it, same thing with female urine. That's why they sometimes warn you when camping out in the woods to be careful with where the ladies pee, specialy if they are close to the "visitor" as it can attract bears.
Daily showering (and I'm all for showering, believe me) robs us of picking up on other peoples "chemical messengers".

Showers are still a must, sorry guys. I agree with the rest of the girls here that "fresh" sweat is good, BO bad. Some guys just that natural odor or what have you, then is really attractive.

Yup, BO is just nasty, so men...please take a shower! Fresh sweat can be sexy as mentioned by some of the other women in here, but not if it's too smelly (some people smell like sweat more than others). So it just depends I suppose. But BO is definately bad. Ew!

A fresh shower is good.
Nothing else will do.

Unless you are planning on something right there in gym, take a shower or forget the something. AND, you would have had to have the shower just proir to your workout.
I think you are out of luck trying to find a way to avoid the showering to tell ya the truth. Just take the shower.
