womans menstrul period smell Posted: 03-12-08 02:51am


I am in my mid thirties and have always been able to tell when a woman is in her menstrual cycle. I can tell because I can smell it, and I do not mean anything rude in saying that, but it is true. I have had people test me to see if I could actually tell by odour and they were amazed. I have also been married for over 10 years and my wife can also confirm this. It does not matter where I am, home, work, the busy mall ect%u2026 it just does not matter. There is no direct correlation with individual familiarity even. Not even perfume can mask the odour to the point that I can not pick it up on some level. Can anyone explain why this might be, I have tried numerous times to figure out why, but have had no luck. It is not an issue for me because I am use to it, but still very curious as to why.

i can smell it if they're er ... dirty and quite close although aye it doesn't really make sense... i'm not sure why it even has a smell, it's pretty much just blood right? but i agree with you that it does

I don't get that any more...when I was a kid and my elder sister hit pubirty, I dreadded going into the bathroom cus it would have this distinct smell when she's having her period. Guys...keep in mind that these sort of things, are all signals of when a female is ready to mate. It is just more evident in the animal world as that is really the only way the males can tell which one in the herd is in heat. ( I can just imagine a male Lion going...soo...sweatheart...you ovulating or should I do it with cassey tonight? ) I think most men's senses has dulled towards it as it's not necissary for us to still go around smelling chick's backsides (Not to mention that the repurcussions of that might maybe...ughm...hurt)... As for my sister's smell...it's a well known fact that siblings smell is off putting to each other to avoid incest ...

"Guys...keep in mind that these sort of things, are all signals of when a female is ready to mate. " totally agree with you on this statement. I actually get hornier when my wife is having her period. SOmething in the body telling you to go mate.

Maybe it can be correlated to a female cat being in heat? Can't male cats pick up on an odour? I wouldn't be surprised if it happens frequently among men.

Scientifically speaking, as long as a woman isn't using contraception pills or something, a woman naturally releases hormones while she is ovulating. Guy's are supposed to be attracted to this. You may just be more able to detect the hormones that are supposed to attract you than other guys.

I think it is called fermones, not sure of that spelling though and i agree, cept I am pretty certain that a woman can't get pregnant when they are having their period, so that must be what sets us apart? Animals mate when they are bleeding, right?? But women can't get pregnant when they have their period, I could be wrong, just have heard that said many of time and I know it in myself.

hey im 26 and have also always been able 2 tell when a woman in having her period , i always called it an under smell , i always thought i was alone in this until the local radio station where i am from had a whole show about it . there r a lot of us out there and its not just periods its all types of things try it with your friends u can detect smells at a much greater distance than most like when some1 has just brushed their teeth naturally u smell it 15 or 20 ft away , but others cant smell it until said person has come within striking distance u can email me if u want at nibiru12th@yahoo but i rarely check them. ur not alone

You Are Absolutely Correct Posted: 05-05-08 15:46pm


A woman's body while menstrating does put out a very pungent odor. I have always been able to pick that up. Even older women on airplanes can be difficult to sit next to while on their periods. It may be that some of us are more sensitive to smell than others. Or, that others just ignore it. Diseases also have a distinctive smell. Cancel has a very strong, musty almost sexual odor. Diabetes a clammy, sweet smell. I once spoke to a doctor about this and he said that yes, he can smell diseases on people, too. As far as a woman being unable to conceive whilst menstrating, I believe that is bad information. Check out Sexual Health - Women and there are some myth-debuncing interesting facts.

Ok my opinion on this: we have that smell, no matter how clean or dirty we are. No it is not just blood, it is also the lining of our uterus. And let me tell you...it smells to me like afterbirth but not as strong. My theory as to why we smell like this is the pheromones, however its not to indicate that we are "in heat" per se, but instead, that we are capable of producing offspring...tempting to guys eh? Lol
