Well I am relatively new to [pheromones](https://a314.com/) and so far I know that they are excreted along with sweat. I even heard that some guy save their workout-sweat-towels and rub themselves with it before going out on dates or to parties (which, to me, sounds totally gross). Here’s where the confusion starts: If you have ever seen a girl go into a guy’s locker room (I have, don’t ask ;D), they almost immediately go, “ewwwww!” So in theory, the boy’s locker room should be filled with “natural-none” (I just copyrighted that term), right? If that is the case, shouldn’t a girl who goes in there feel the need to strip down and run around (figuratively speaking, of course…)? Is guy-sweat a good or bad thing to women, or is it the _other_ things in sweat that smell bad? ---

Sweat in itself dosnt smell bad its bacteria on the skin like Coryneform Bacteria that all humans have to a certain degree that converts the sweat and make it stinky. Tisha ---
