TopicWhat is the evolutionary reason behind us finding body odour repulsive?

I think we have lost a sense of healthy, individual musk. There used to be a lot more talk about a person's scent in older media and I presume even moreso before the common advent of perfumes and widespread literacy.

That said, a body's natural smell is not BO and conflating them is wrong. Wash yourself *at least* every three days. Every day if you're between nine and twenty years old, or over sixty-five. Every other day can be adequate most seasons of the year if you don't sweat a lot and you also don't sit all day; I always smell worse getting off a plane than I do leaving the gym.
