Just like some people like ice cream with nuts and some like it with a carmel ribbon, different foot fetishists like different things about feet.  Some guys like smelly feet with natural toe jam and sweat, some guys like highly clean manicured feet, some aren't picky.\n\nThe foot has a lot of nerve endings and is a sensitive little appendage, which can make foot fetishists useful for other people's enjoyment.\n\nHow can anyone specifically say why anything particularly turns them on?  It just does.  Go with it.  Bodies are good.

Do you use a wash cloth and soap? If you just use soap or just rinse off your body oils are still on your body. This is what gives people their odor, good or bad. Check your towel. If your towel is not drying properly it could make you smell sour. Your body oils might be trapped on the towel, also. Drink lots of fluids, eat a lot of green leafy vegetables to cleanse your system.\nScrub your butt and try "Body Mint" (a chlorophyll based supplement) if all else fails.

foot odor is caused by bacteria digesting sweat, there are two main ways to reduce the stink. You can:\n\n    * decrease the amount of bacteria on your feet\n    * decrease the amount of sweat that collects on your feet and in your shoes \n\nReducing the level of bacteria is really a matter of cleanliness. To control the bacteria population on you feet, you should:\n\n    * wash your feet with strong anti-bacterial soap\n    * wear clean socks\n    * don't wear the same shoes everyday - give a pair of shoes 24 hours or more to air out before wearing them again \n\nTo reduce the amount of sweat that collects in your shoes, you should:\n\n    * wear well-ventilated shoes instead of very constrictive shoes, such as boots\n    * always wear socks, preferably made of cotton or other absorbent materials that absorb a lot of the sweat so the bacteria can't feed on it\n    * change your socks a few times a day\n    * buy some absorbent Odor-Eater type shoe inserts\n    * apply an antiperspirant to your feet

Everybody has a natural smell! It's not supposed to be very smelly, I mean a strong one!\nMy man always says that I have a nice smell and that's what arouses him so much.\nYou must have a good hygiene, but that's it!

It depends, if it is really bad, it can be caused by an infection and you should see a doctor. But if it is just more intense, then it can be caused by the food you use to take. Anyway, that smell is not bad, it is a natural one.

Have you had a change in medications?  Started taking a multi-vitamin?  I know excess vitamins (like B-12) can cause an odor.  Plus certain foods (asparagus) can cause a strong odor...but you probably aren't eating that on a daily basis.  Check to see if you have a urinary tract infection that needs to be treated w/ antibiotics.  You can also start drinking cranberry juice which maintains the health of your urinary tract.  Cranberry can also be bought in pill formation if you don't like the bitter taste of the juice.  But either way, you might want to check w/ the Doc.  Good luck!

I was in the Army for 9 years, so i've got some pretty good tips on keeping your footwear from stinkin'. What I did with my boots (as you can do with regular shoes), is ALWAYS buy insoles to keep inside the shoes. These will consistently trap any sweat, odor, bacteria. Also, before you put your socks on (always wear socks with shoes), spray your feet with regular underarm antiperspirant (don't worry about wasting your money on regular foot sprays). This really works- I did this on a daily basis. Also, before putting your shoes on, sprinkle a little baby powder (scented or unscented) inside your shoes. Not too much, just enough to 'season' the insoles. Hope this helps!

Everybody is familiar with this phenomenon. Most of us have a friend or relative who can clear out a room when they kick off their shoes. And even the sweetest smelling person can do a decent job stinking up a pair of shoes by running a few miles in them. So what's going on here? Why do your feet have a stronger odor than the rest of you does?\n\nThe main thing that feeds foot smell is sweat. With more than 250,000 sweat glands each, your feet are among the most perspiring parts of the body. In one day, each foot can produce more than a pint of sweat! Sweat is basically just salt and water, though, so it doesn't have a distinctive smell of its own. The smell is actually caused by bacteria on our skin that eats the sweat and excretes waste that has a strong odor. It's perfectly normal to have bacteria on your skin, and it doesn't ordinarily produce a noticeable smell, but sweat attracts bacteria and gives them a whole lot to feed on.\n\nOf course we sweat all over -- our hands have a comparable number of sweat glands, for example -- and most of the rest of our body doesn't particularly stink (the armpits being a notable exception. See How Sweat Works for details.) So what's different about our feet? The answer is our socks and shoes. The sweat our feet excrete can't easily escape into the air like the sweat our hands excretes -- it all collects on our skin and in our socks. The bacteria love this dark, damp feast and have a sort of feeding frenzy. When you take off your shoes, the smell that hits you is all the bacteria excretion that's collected on your feet and in your socks and shoes.\n\nThe main reason some people's feet (or more precisely, some people's socks and shoes) smell worse than other people's is that some people sweat more than other people. This is just one of the many variable physiological qualities of human beings. This is also why sometimes your feet smell much worse than at other times -- it all has to do with how much you sweat.\n\nSo, since foot odor is caused by bacteria digesting sweat, there are two main ways to reduce the stink. You can:\n\n    * decrease the amount of bacteria on your feet\n    * decrease the amount of sweat that collects on your feet and in your shoes \n\nReducing the level of bacteria is really a matter of cleanliness. To control the bacteria population on you feet, you should:\n\n    * wash your feet with strong anti-bacterial soap\n    * wear clean socks\n    * don't wear the same shoes everyday - give a pair of shoes 24 hours or more to air out before wearing them again \n\nTo reduce the amount of sweat that collects in your shoes, you should:\n\n    * wear well-ventilated shoes instead of very constrictive shoes, such as boots\n    * always wear socks, preferably made of cotton or other absorbent materials that absorb a lot of the sweat so the bacteria can't feed on it\n    * change your socks a few times a day\n    * buy some absorbent Odor-Eater type shoe inserts\n    * apply an antiperspirant to your feet \n\nIf your foot odor is really bad and these solutions don't help much, then you should see a doctor. There are a number of prescription drugs that can treat serious foot odor, some by killing bacteria and some by reducing foot sweat

you probably have some sort of fungus that produces the smell.  kill the fungus, stop the smell.

Actually you have pretty much answered the question, no fungal infection, athletes foot (which is a fungal infection by the way) no obnoxious odors.  I would add one more thing, no pain or discomfort when walking of standing.  Pain is always a good indicator of something wrong in any part of the body and that is true of yor feet also.  Also be on the lookout for pressure points, red spots when you take your shoes and socks off, hardened or roughened skin in areas as these can be precursors to corns and bunions. Finally, and I think most important, make sure your shoes fit properly.  If you are a woman and feel you must wear heals be sensible about the height and don't wear them for long periords and remember those women who wear things like spike heels will pay for it down the road when they develop all kinds of foot problems.

I'm actually disturbed by your study...why are you wandering around smelling men's butts?

Hi, If his hygiene is otherwise good, he probably has a yeast infection, known as jock itch.  Yeast infections have a terrible odor, but there are many over the counter creams that will cure it. . Another possibility is maybe he is not circumcised.  Uncircumcised penises are harder to keep clean because of the extra folds of skin and this could cause an odor.

I think 75% of guys have a foot fetish, and I have very long curly hair and guys are always touching it or smelling it (even co workers) in a non fliratious way.  I think most men like long hair and pretty, manicured feet.  After all who wants to look at crusy toe jam in sandals~!

Hormones, biology and chemistry and bacteria.\n\nHair comes from the scalp. The skin on the scalp is different than skin elsewhere. It has special oil secreting glads to help lubricate and protect the hair. These glands produce oils that may cause an odor.\n\nFeet normally do not smell. But you take something and place it in a moist, dark, humid environment and things grow. The sweat is a rich nutrient for fungus and bacteria and these begin to grow. Often they are trapped in the shoe or sock an that is what really smells and the foot is just covered with the odor.\nArm pits sweat and accumulate bacteria and odor. Also hormones and pheremones are produced and excreted. The mouth is full ofbacteria, and if you do not brush and floss bits of food. Fairly obvious there. Some metabollic disorders and what you have recent eaten or drunk like coffee make an impact as well. Hands do not usually smell. Ears, see scalp, plus add cerumen (earwax). Groin, again, moist, hot, enclosed and perfect for things to grow. Plus hormones and pheremones and you have a perfect place for all sorts of odors.\n\nEach person has a slightly dfferent chemistry and odor. We may not be able to tell, but we are all unique. Like how Dogs communicate via scent and identify one another.\n\nWhat you eat, how you feel and your health all effect how you smell.  Of course, your personal hygiene makes a huge difference. Some people need to shower more frequently and keep themselves cleaner.
