Do eunuchs have BO?

[chilliwilli (imported)]

I still have my balls and if I go a few days w/o a shower I can get a bit ripe...So I just had a shower and am sitting in an internet cafe on the island. It stinks so bad in here...I wanna die! My secret deoderant is working great, but ohh the guy next to me...now I wish I didn't shower! And no I'm not threatening him, making comments or otherwise being rude...just taking it one breath at a time!

When I get home, I think I want a roommate. It gets lonely and I always shared a room growing up, so sharing my home would be just fine. Do eunuchs have BO? I think when I advertise for a room for rent I'm either demanding a clean freak, such as myself, a girl or my preferance a real live eunuch!

I'm either gonna puke or offer this fellow a bed bath right here in the cafe!

When I spent a month with Talula and Gem, neither of them smelled bad, but then again, they both bathed every day, too.

Yes you will still have BO. I find that it is far less strong then when testosterone was flowing. The male hormone does cause certain smells. It is one way to attract a mate. So it is possible that other people may not be as attracted to you for your smell is not what they need to have. One of the side effects of being a eunuch.

I am more then happy that my partner does not have the normal male BO. I find male BO unpleasant. Each to his/her own.

Definitely, a Eunuch has a different distinct odor. Something different from a male with Testrosome. You have a far more pleasant odor. I am glad that my hubbie is a Eunuch.

I find that I have less body odor but I bathe daily, deoderize and use a small amount of cologne. The odor that amazes me and other eunuchs have noticed is the change of smell of our urine. The stronger urine smell seems to be more of an issue with non HRT eunuchs. A friend who has horses also made a comment one day that the smell of the geldings urine is very strong.

Speaking for my self I would defiantly say yes

To me it smells not as strong or pungent as pre castration

And foot order seams to be less as well

Testosterone affects hormones that control the concentration of urine as well as the regulation of the Apocrine sweat glands.

Apocrine sweat glands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

A diagrammatic sectional view of the skin (magnified). Sweat gland labeled as "sudoriferous gland" at center right.Apocrine sweat glands develop during the early- to mid-puberty ages within the age range of 13 to 15, and release more than normal amounts of sweat for approximately a month, regulating and releasing normal amounts of sweat after a certain period of time. They are located wherever there is body hair.

These glands produce sweat that contains organic molecules (lipids and proteins) and pheromones [1]. Mainly present on the face, in the armpits, and around the genital area, their activity is the main cause of sweat odor, due to the bacteria that break down the organic compounds in the sweat.

Emotional stress causes sweat present in the tubule to be squeezed out. Thus, apocrine sweat glands serve as scent glands.

The name apocrine sweat gland is archaic; these glands are no longer believed to secrete their products by an apocrine mechanism in which the apical portion of the cell is sloughed off with secretory products inside. Rather, the apocrine sweat glands secrete in an merocrine fashion: membrane-bound vesicles bind to the plasma membrane of secretory cells and release products by exocytosis with no net loss of the plasma membrane. These glands are still called apocrine sweat glands to distinguish them from the eccrine sweat glands.

I always assumed there would be an odor difference in the 'extreme' end (i.e., after a bit of a work-out, or a hot afternoon) between eunuchs and non. Of course, children around 11 and under don't get that 'ripe' smell like adults do, but I suppose it would be only fantasy that one would return to that original pre-pubescent smell after castration in adulthood, although I'd like to toy with that idea in a story...

That being said, I don't know if I'd want to be locked in a roomfull of you all on a hot day after a rousing game of (insert sport of choice here) at the next MoM, either!!

I can attest to the fact that prepubescent boys don't reek like pubertal ones do!

G3 can play baseball all day in the summer, and he just smells like 'soil' when he's done.

Well, I guess the whole team can have the back 40 then.
