While we're on the subject of cleanliness and body odor, I am not sure if anyone has mentioned exfoliating away the dead skin cells once or twice a week in the shower. This is especially good for men and women over the age of 50 or so. Some say the old skin cells still clinging to the surface of your skin contributes to that "old person smell" that is offensive to virtually everyone.

This is a very interesting topic to me. I do notice the "old person" smell on some others, even my mother for example. It would be very naïve to think my own skin smells perfect even if I cannot notice anything. I bet young Thai girls can detect old skin odour. Thai girls are very keen to clean or scrub off the "Khee Khlai" (dead skin), which seems unnatural, and they probably don't need to.

I particularly notice that older people have much more problems with bad breath compared to young people. Children rarely seem to have bad breath, teenagers not much, and so on.

The post was about guys. Not about the girls body odor (which I agree is not an issue generally) or using shirts for multiple days without washing.

Sorry to switch to girls. Can only talk about what I have experienced. I have no clue how often Thai men change shirts. Have occasionally met a stinky taxi driver, but not that often.

Pick up a couple of those rough surface gloves, a dollar or two I guess, in Boots, Watson's or almost any drugstore along with a granular scrub foam or lotion. Doesn't have to be an expensive brand as the scrubbing action with the gloves is what matters most I think. Squeeze out a dab about the size of a grape onto one gloved hand, rub it into a foam with the other gloved hand and get to work scrubbing on everything other than your dick and balls from around your ankles, up your legs, butt, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, ears and the less sensitive parts of the face. The whole thing shouldn't take more than an extra minute or two in the shower. Squeeze and rinse out the excess foam from the gloves and leave them nearby for the next time. Twice a week is probably plenty to keep your skin fresh and free of any associated odor.

If you have never done it before and are over the age of 50, the first time might produce a revolting swirl of brown gunk going down the drain underfoot. That was clinging to the surface of your body! And there is no reason to believe it smelled just fine! The next couple of times there will be less of that but those dead skin cells are still being scrubbed away. Just add this 2 minute procedure to your shower once or twice week.

Good to hear these simple tips. Cheers for raising it.

I have not noticed Thai girls wearing a shirt multiple days even if they have no detectable body odour. None of my Thai girls have any body odours at all (apart from smoking odours.

The post was about guys. Not about the girls body odor (which I agree is not an issue generally) or using shirts for multiple days without washing.

[Syzygies]

There are some additional factors:

1. Indian sub continent people, Turkish, Arabs, Indonesians, Malaysian, Filipinos etc, tend to wear shirts for Multiple days, before they are washed. Also, they may not use a lot of soap to wash, and usually do not use hot dryer to dry after a wash, mostly without the use of a product like Bounce or Febreeze spray in the dryer.

So, clothes, particularly shirts, smell due to bacteria collection and growth over several days.

2. Same issue with the bed sheets they sleep on, underwear they use etc, if not washed and cleaned with deodorizers in a hot dryer then it collects and the bacteria multiplies.

3. Sometimes spicy food, not just Indian, Malaysian, Indonesian, Singaporean, Szechuan, Korean (kimchi) food, all have some unique odors come out through the sweat glands (but usually if you are also eating kimchi or Indian with them, then due to relativity of smell at work, you might not detect it as much.). But others will, particularly in confined spaces, like an elevator, where there is no air circulation. Korean with Kimchi odors , Turks with meat odors , Szechuan region Chinese, big garlic users like Sicilians etc are just like Indian (Punjabi , or fish curry from Calcutta, for example ) all have odors that are distinctly different and discernible, distinguishable....

So, yeah IMO, many factors at work. Science of smell is actually a degree at Harvard. LOL. I know a guy with an actual PhD in this from Harvard.

I have this Thai girl from Isaan, from a farm, who does not use deodorant. She does not like my Axe deodorant. I enjoy chasing her around pretending to spay my Axe on her. LOL. Many Thai girls are not particularly impressed with perfume bottles as gifts. I track many of them on Facebook. It is incredibly rare to see any of them show a bottle of perfume as a gift for their birthday !

I have not noticed Thai girls wearing a shirt multiple days even if they have no detectable body odour. None of my Thai girls have any body odours at all (apart from smoking odours), that I can detect. One Thai girl I know years ago had bad breath but that was a stomach infection cured by antibiotics.

Yes quite correct that a shower is useless if put back on a shirt with stinky underarms. Some people do that. I prefer to sniff check at very close range under arms of a shirt after a shower and before putting it back on so I am knowing when it should be replaced (for certain). Can't always replace it if in an MP (away from home) , but at least know it should be replaced very soon. Very stinky shirts can be detected from metres away. No close sniffing needed.

As a child I recall meeting whole families from Eastern Europe who all reeked of "Garlic" most likely or some food combination, however those odours are not quite as obnoxious as the bacterial breeding type.

I don't like the smell of very strong cheap colonges used by some, and perhaps Thai girls do not also, however I find most Thai girls are into good quality perfumes of a subtle variety. They often ask me to buy them perfumes that they like, especially Lancme ones (not cheap). One of my main Thai girls suggests she likes guys to wear some nice scent too, so I have done so for her, however this seems unusual. She was the only one to suggest it. However far more important is the shower with careful dick, ass, and underarm clean before sex, and also teeth and tongue cleaning.

I also don't find many Thai girls willing to have sex if they did not very recently shower themselves. They are also reluctant to kiss in the morning before going to clean their mouth. So Thai girls like to be confidently very clean and expect the guys to be likewise.

Strong cologne does not really compensate for, or hide bad BO. Just makes it all the more sickly.

I suggest you haven't spent much time with Asian families at all mate (particularly a filipino family), or you would know that the Philippines is probably the number 1 threat to pollution of the planet's waterways. I reckon the same could be said about Thailand, Laos and Indonesia too.

I have to wonder if Haven's comment was lost in Translation somehow, as seemed to have a lot of negatives indicating what people might NOT do rather than what they actually do. I could be wrong, but wonder why all the "nots" and negatives.

[EihTooms]

Did you ever ask these girls if they already showered at home? In my experience quite a lot of girls do that. Not bar girls or streetwalkers but freelancers found on the internet.

No, I didn't ask. My observations were of their showering behavior after being out with me all day or after a shag and before sleeping, many of the times when someone would ordinarily take a shower. There was evidence that some water had splashed around sparingly. But they might not have even used a regular bath towel to dry off, only a small hand towel, and that wasn't even all that wet because so little water had been used. Every now and then they would wash their hair and then there would be more evidence of the shower nozzle being on for longer than usual for them.

Filipino washer women (called lavenderas in the local language) use a shitload of soap, detergent, fabric softeners and other stuff to make their clothes clean and white clothes whiter than white.

Soap powders are a HUGE industry in the Philippines. Strong sunlight is a much better anti-bacterial than a dryer too. Not sure where you're coming from with your analysis Haven. Sit and watch a person at work washing clothes by hand and see how much soap they use.

Weird thing is, a few Thai girls I have known who kept themselves shaved but rarely left evidence of serious showering have had some of the best tasting pussies I've ever had, or the most neutral tasting pussies I've ever had. Seriously. A couple of my regulars in the past and currently hardly leave more than a damp towel in the bathroom after whatever it is they call showering, there is very little water on the floor, no evidence of much if any liquid bath soap being used, etc. Yet they have had the most neutral smelling bodies and most inviting smelling and tasting pussies of all. With some girls it seems they just can't screw up the naturally great chemistry going on inside them no matter what the weather or bathing conditions.

If you go to Vietnam and take local or city buses, there's plenty of body odor around. Similar in Indonesia, though to a lesser degree. Maybe less than there would be if it were full of Indians, but SE Asians are not entirely immune to body odor, it's just that a huge majority of Thais keep really good hygiene and shower often.

It is incredibly rare to see any of them show a bottle of perfume as a gift for their birthday ! Whereas in the US or Europe this would be very common. Many of my Dominican or other Latin friends on the other hand totally love it when I bring them perfume bottles as gifts. Some wait for me to return every year or 6-9months just for a new 100ML bottle of quality perfume. Some girls in Latin America are even unisex about it and ask me to spray men’s cologne like “Chanel pour homme “. on them ! So, yes, there are many cultural differences on this score...I love to have my women smell good and so I always travel with women’s perfumes...LOL ! Very important for me...

Asians in general both men and women have much less body odor than a Farang, Indian, etc. I play a lot of sports and it can be pretty smelly tackling some guys.

Frequent showering helps Thais avoid bacteria getting into any glands they might have. Thais workers came off the roof into the lift of the Hotel very hot and sweaty. No odour at all. Lift stopped at another floor and two Arabs got in. The stink was severe. We had to wonder how long since the last shower. LOL Or did they put on clothes that were already stinky?

However it is a medically proven fact that Thais and some other SE Asians have very few Aprocrine Glands. These are the glands that excrete oils and for some people a lot of bacteria have been breeding inside the gland. Large hole allowed the bacteria in and out. The bacteria coming out is the cause of the acrid stink. It is a much worse stink than odours caused by diet. Anyone can search the internet and read all about this. A person with the bacteria breeding problem in large amounts, can take a shower, yet within an hour or two more oil and bacteria have come out and they can start to stink again already. So it is not so easy to solve the problem. Thais are fortunate to have few Aprocrine glands and possibly very small ones (under armpits), then good cleaning regimes may have kept the bacteria out or at bay.

[Crocodilexp]

Was extremely unlikely to be a Thai or any SE Asian. They have zero or very few Aprocrine glands under arms to make the stink.
