Here\u2019s something every man will relate to, though few if any will admit to it: sniffing their fingers after touching their genitals. Be it ball scratching, penis fondling, sorry adjusting, etc, as you remove your hands, you are overcome with the irresistible urge to sniff.<\/p>\n

You can deny it. You might try to resist the urge, even maintain some human decency, but you fail. Yes, you fail. The smell from the \u2018scratch and sniff\u2019 is like a drug to you.<\/p>\n

Why men \u2014 all men \u2013 do this remains a mystery.<\/p>\n

Is it a check that everything is OK down there? Primitive curiosity? One Reddit user assures that that it\u2019s simply a matter of personal pleasure.<\/p>\n

User \u201cFunfungiguy.\u201d \u201cAlright, I\u2019ll fess up. I don\u2019t know if all guys do it, and I don\u2019t do it in public or around people. But if I\u2019m alone and scratch my balls, I definitely do it. Also when I get done working out and jump in the shower I also my sniff my sweaty briefs where my balls rested, then I\u2019ll scratch my nuts and smell my fingers. The answer as to why I do this is actually pretty simple: I like the smell of my balls.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

User \u201c<\/em>Howmanykings.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s the dpi test. If you drop a hand into your pants, give it a feel and it smells rancid\u2026 You better shower up young fella. If it smells alright, you can probably make it till later in the day\u2026 But if it smells good then get a lady, and have <\/em>pants off dance off kinda party because she\u2019s gonna hold your hands and that\u2019s basically her holding your balls which is basically like having sexy time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Could it be that simple? Just pleasure? There must be some other explanation, no?<\/p>\n

According to Biopsychologist Nigel Barber, who specializes in sexual and reproductive behavior using an evolutionary approach, neither hygiene nor curiosity is the reason for this infatuation. Barber theorizes that men do the after touching sniff to feel more alive.<\/p>\n

Barber adds that our instinctive attraction to our own scent is the philosophical theory that recognizes the self above all else, egoism.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Women, apparently, do it too!<\/p>\n

Farts are sort of the same way. Come on, admit it, you love smelling your own farts. Though this is strictly a guy thing. There\u2019s some satisfaction when you smell it, and the fouler it is you think, \u2018Ooh\u2026 That was a good one\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
