Clothes that haven't been washed start to smell very bad after a few days.

Delightful sensory input putting on clean clothes after a shower.

Even I do it once in a while.

I like human smell...up to a point. I do think that I know quit a few people who do cleaning in a very neurotic way. I believe it is a hold over from "cleanliness is next to godliness" so if you don't sparkle you are a sinner? Also an advertising brianwashing thing.....it's not JUST about germs and such. Health wise, you are probably going to be healthier if you let yourself be exposed to a certain amount of bacteria so that your body can build natural immunities...pet peeve with all the hand sanitizers.

Anyway, I wash mine if I can smell them or they have food spilled on them. It does feel good to bath and put on clean clothes if (it is a sensory issue for some), but I see more people taking this to an extreme based on nothing but "what will the neighbors think".

Thats a good link matsuiny...that was a good article. I want to point out another important thing to people about human smell.

Research has been done that proves that different women are attracted to different smelling men based on that individuals genetics. So if you are getting rid of that scent by constant covering up with perfumes and deoderants,etc. then women wont know that you are their biological "match". <---sciencey stuff .
