What roll, if any, does "scent" play in your sex life?

Regarded as 1 of the 5 senses, just wondering if scent has played much of a roll in;

1) initial attraction to a sexual partner?

2) sexual arousal, during preliminary clothed contact(ie. dancing, walking together etc) and/or foreplay?

3) during sex?

4) after sex? after the partner leaves? next day/days following?

5) Have I missed a exposure point? Your own scent?

If scent plays a roll, what is it, what makes it arousing and attractive.
Natural earthy scents, musk, strong, light scents? Artificial scents, colognes, fragrances?

Does scent attract and arouse you sexually?
4. When David and I were swinging, after we swapped partners with another couple, I would put on the shirt of the other guy I had just fucked to leave my scent on it for him to remember me by. One of their wives later told me her husband never let her wash that shirt afterwards.
There is that book by Patrick Suskund called 'Das parfum' which details the roles scent can play in life. It is kind of a dark book that goes into the topic of death and such, but it is very good. Highly recommended.

But yes, scent plays a major role in sexual arousal/sexual interest. If I go out with a man and he smells nice, then yes, it may attract me to him further, as I am likely to remember that he smelled good, and it worked in his favour.
Excellent question!

Well speaking about natural and not perfume that is...natural scent as a whole is like the biggest turn on ever!

It's like a drug, totally intoxicates me and sends me into a sexual coma! For me personally this applies to many areas of the female body but all provide the same powerful reaction.

...Kinda reminds me of an old joke I heard 40 years ago about " Washy ... washy ... in the Blue Cheer..." ...
I think there's a whole manual to be written on each of the five senses and their contribution to sex. After all, sex is one of the few things in life where all five senses are engaged simultaneously, sometimes one more prominent than the others. Sound, touch, taste, smell, sight - would you really like to choose?
I agree with EvelynLi, having all five senses engaged makes the sexual experience much more erotic and enjoyable. I must admit though, my lovers scent is what I find the most stimulating!! Our bodies emit pheromones when sexually aroused that attracts the opposite sex!
I dont enjoy the scent of 'stale' body odour.
Flowers will often brighten up the scent in a room but does nothing for me sexually.
My girlfriend and I can and do enjoy the scent of arm pits when it is freshly brewed so to speak and we are hot and sweaty brought about by our foreplay or sexual union. I have often been guilty of licking her there. Not so much our men.
The scent of sex in a room after a session of fun and sex can be erotic.
As for the scent of 'perfume'. I will use a light one when going to a social event, never to work. The scent of strong perfumes does not attract me sexually.
I can enjoy the scent of a woman when we are 'warming up' to the more intimate moments.
The scent in a mans aftershave and au de Toilette can do something for me sexually when we are in the foreplay and active situation.
Scent is something that is very strong in my memory. So I'd have to say it makes a lasting impression. Best be a good scent.

But what IS a Good Scent? Something light? something pungent?
earthy? flowery? musky? spicy/herbal? woody? new car smell? lol
artificial scents; ie rubbers, plastics, vinyls?
cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, weed?

What does it mean to say "he smells nice"?

Can add from Ls63563, leather, metallic, incense?

I can't really describe what makes a good scent. Much like knowing porn when I see it, I know a good scent, or a sexy scent when I smell them.

Get ready for some daddy issues shit right here. My father was a smoker, so I grew up with that scent, so if I meet a man and am sexually attracted to that man, and he happens to be a smoker, it comforts me in a way.

I like strong 'masculine' smells. A rich, woody cologne. Now that I'm having to describe it, scents can be harder to pinpoint.
You and you two best Girl Friends are out just being friends and in walks a dream man.

All three of you are sexy and attractive and never have any trouble getting all the men you want .

The dream guy acts like one of your friends is the only woman in the world.

That is her sexual scent that she does not even know she has or is expelling this lust.

But today is it doing everything a woman would ever want.
