I believe that a lot of people find smells very erotic and sensual. So I would have to say yes for some people.
Smell certainly evokes memories.
by LeeLee Chickybabe Avenger SLAB on March 27th, 2008
Oh yes. The smell of men's aftershave. It drives me wild.

by B. Krayzee - Dirrty Professor @ Large on March 27th, 2008
My wife used to wear this simple "rasberry" body spray. I think it came from K mart or somewhere. The scent used to drive me crazy.. I'd become aroused instantly. Hmmmmmmmmmm.... brb.
*jumps in car and heads to K Mart...

Yes I think so. I get an instant hard-on when I smell my wife's ass.

the human olfactory system is very underrated. Smells often invoke deeper mental activity than other senses. the brain also translates and remembers smells very efficiently. Olfactory stimulation can be arousing.
by Stillme FBB on March 27th, 2008
The nose contains millions of receptors , 500-1000 different types! Oders can be remembered even when you have long sense forget what it was, It can for some sudden reason make you happy, or sad, or turned on!
by Dee on March 27th, 2008
Yes!
Haven't you seen the "Axe" commercials?

Our sense of smell is the only sensation that doesn't get "filtered" through a region of the brain called the thalamus. Because of this, smell information passes into a variety of different areas of the brain directly (especially areas that control emotions). Smell can evoke a variety of memories and if you smelled something that evoked a sensual memory it could "turn you on".

Smell can turn me on and off.
by Disko Fari on March 27th, 2008
haha yesss, think mens perfume turns me on. and alos my boyfriends body odor does because im attracted to him.
by MIA on March 27th, 2008
If it is a smell I like....his cologne, how he smells when he gets out of the shower, and when he would first wake up, I guess that would be his early morning smell. :)
by Greekgod on March 27th, 2008
Absolutely it is the phermones that you smell that turns you onto someone
by anonomous on March 27th, 2008
Coolwater for men turns me on.
by Max Power loves Zack on March 27th, 2008
yep :) a good, clean smell though :)
by Nasiswand on October 18th, 2008
Yes it can. Don't tell my husband, but his smell drives me crazy. He'd never give me a moments rest if he knew. XD
by Miss Paradise misses her marine on October 18th, 2008
Oh yes! The scent of any men's cologne causes me to instantly visualize me snuggled up against a hot guy.. they should put me on cologne commercials.
by sciatic on October 18th, 2008
i KNOW IT CAN TURN YOU OFF! Please be more specific.
by Teri on October 2nd, 2008
It is suppose to me the most sensitive of our senses and brings back memories better....I love the smell of those I love...even if it dirty hair....
by Hazard on October 2nd, 2008
yes it can. unfortunately the scent of a woman just starting her period, or in the 2 and 3 trimester are the highest ranking turn ons. smell behind her ear about 3-6 days before her period and let me know
by jlminne on September 13th, 2008
Yup. Love the smell of a woman in the morning. Love to nuzzle the back of her neck.
by Mr.Doctor on July 24th, 2008
Yes..a very hot summer..very sexy lady next to u..and massaging herself with a coconut sun oil..
YESS it turns me onnnnnnnnn......:)
by Penal Colony on June 2nd, 2008
Dear lord, yes.
by thewallfly on May 22nd, 2008
We breifly covered this topic in a Pysch class I had once, and yes, it can. I'm going to try to put this as simply as possible (I'm horrible at explaining things), but it has something to do with association. Ex: If you and your significant other were making out and her/his breath always smelled of strong onions/garlic (and lead to intercourse or something else of the sort even simple arousal) and you continued to do this with the smell of garlic/onion, when you kissed someone else with that taste in their mouth or even smell it, there'd be a high posisbly that you would become aroused.
by king of ellipses on May 18th, 2008
that's what pheromones are for! I love certain smells, though I'm not traditional. Not into perfume, etc. There's certain smells that drive me wild though
by .DanielleFLOURINE on May 15th, 2008
Yes.
Do a little research on the chemicals in male's sweat.
Which is, super sexy. Wow.
by Teasdale on April 8th, 2008
Definitely! There are a few colognes for men that make me crazy if I smell it on someone. (But I control myself of course!)
by My Favourite Life on April 8th, 2008
Colognes and perfumes, no, but the scent of a woman? Absolutely.
by 23Skidoo on April 8th, 2008
Uhh.... Most definitely. I should think that's why the sale of unwashed underwear is so popular.
To paraphrase the Colonel from Scent of a Woman (The title should help answer this question):
"Ever bury your nose in a mountain of curls? WHOOWAH!"
by killdrphil on April 1st, 2008
The smell of a woman's hair often turns me on instantly.
by gianngianngiann on April 1st, 2008
yes. and i'm not talking about cologne or perfumes. i'm talking about natural smell. you know. that slightly funky smell. it turns me on. ^^
by snakelover on March 31st, 2008
Yep. They are called pheromones & make the one that you love smell REALLY good & get you aroused. Also, mothers are given a sense of love & affection when they smell their newborn baby's head. I still smell my daughter's head & she's 4.
by Plim on March 31st, 2008
Sure. I love my boyfriend's natural smell. It turns me on. I go for the person's natural smell not perfume.
by BabyRoo on March 31st, 2008
Yep but, only if it smells good. :)
by MG1942 Has a Life Penguin on March 31st, 2008
Depends on the smell.....;)
by Dirty-Ninja-Misses-NYC on March 31st, 2008
The smell of a good perfume on women, always gets my attention. But if they've gone overboard with it, it actually makes me sneeze and that's a big turn off.
by DiSTurBiA on March 27th, 2008
helllz yeah!
by Trisha on March 27th, 2008
I LOVE a good smelling man
by RedSox73 on March 27th, 2008
I'm a guy and i honestly don't get how a smell could turn you on. Oh well, when it happens i'll know.
by Kitt-tastrophy on March 27th, 2008
Absolutely! My hubby's cologne can have that effect on me!
by Kathie524 on March 27th, 2008
ABSOLUTELY
by misshell on fire on March 27th, 2008
oh yes
by altgirl84 on March 27th, 2008
Absolutely! Perfume and cologne are huge turn ons for me. When I smell my guy's Jean Paul Gaultier cologne omg I just about jump him. Even his Dove moisturizer turns me on lol; mainly because both I associate with him when I smell him, not so much them themselves. Even his natural scent, yummy.
by Izzie on March 27th, 2008
OH DEFINITELY! Lol... Right Guard Men's Body Spray always does it... and sometimes TAG. mmmm... :)
by Kizz miazz on March 27th, 2008
Oh yeah!!!!! It's chemistry.
by Will Smith on March 27th, 2008
yeah there are a couple out there that get me goin
by m4dm4nsgirl on March 27th, 2008
Yes certain smells, like cologne :)
by AnonymousGirl on March 27th, 2008
I'm sure certain smells can be a turn on and are a turn on. :)
by Jen-Jen on March 27th, 2008

My Trolls are out tonight.What is there about this answer that is offensive or unhelpful or is it again my position on the board.?
by Firebrand on March 27th, 2008
Trolls have been out bad for me too...Hugs!!!!!!!!!!
by Jen-Jen on March 27th, 2008
I know who this Troll is they just change the amount the DR me on different questions :) If it carries on I will get it sorted.

I believe I know who mine is to and they did the same thing...Only I don't know how to get it sorted.....but I hope you catch them!!!!!!!!!
by Jen-Jen on March 27th, 2008
Well today is there first day back except for raiding visits and every time they come on I immediately get hit with -4-5s just because I had a different opinion to theirs. Pathetic creature really .Some older people can be very spiteful sometimes most are of them on here are lovely.
by Firebrand on March 27th, 2008
I get D/red for the same reason...but today I got D/Red for deleting someone from my friends list...Guess it was their way of getting even
by Jen-Jen on March 27th, 2008
Some people are really pathetic. I would expect the more mature people to behave better but some of them are more childish than the 12/13 year olds. In fact I think most of the youngsters are very mature.:)
by Firebrand on March 27th, 2008
I believe that most youngsters are more mature than these idiots...Sorry Firebrand but to me thats what they are.

Wonderful answer. And isn't it so the truth about memories? Nothing triggers one faster than a scent.

Just Catching a wiff of a woman walking by, the sent of her hair, the light breeze of her perfume wafting through the air...
ahh yes
but sniffing a can of tuna...
nope
by Neumann on June 25th, 2008
The smell of a can of tuna puts me back in my mother's kitchen on a 75 degree Idaho summer day. Her big summer treat was tunafish sandwiches mixed with mayonnaise and relish on white bread with crispy potato chips.
by Nitroduck on June 25th, 2008
hmm, im hungry for a tuna fish sammich now, just in time for lunch!
by Neumann on June 25th, 2008
Yeah! me too...
