A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Is it true that you can smell when someone has had sex after they have had it?? I had sex with my boyfriend in my house with no one there this past friday and then my mom comes home an hour later. She never tells or asks me if we had sex or not but she does ask me when he's leaving. Now I know one would think she is my mom and she just doesn't want a guy spending the night over the house BUT my other sister does it all the time. Her boyfriend practically lives there but with them, her room door is closest to my moms and always open plus she can hear em because they are both very talkative so that brings me back to thinking she smelled it. I may be completely off with what the real reason was for her wanting him to leave but I KNOW my mom. So what do you think? Can people smell sex??

I agree. Sex has a scent. Well, more accurately, the secretions we produce during sex have scents. Not only that, but condoms, lotions, lube, and other products often have scents as well.

I remember one morning before work once I had sex with my wife. I did shower, but as I walked into the office I could still smell my wife on me and I don't mean her perfume. It was very erotic and kind of gave me an emotional high. I was just hoping no one else would get close to me that day, so I hid in my office.

I will also say that it may not have been what you smelled like as much as what you looked like. Women in particular often get a certain look after satisfying sex. In college my dorm room was across from that of a girl and I could usually tell when her boyfriend was (or had been) over if I ran into her in the hall just because of the look on her face. One time I asked her if she had a good lay and she said "How did you know?" probably fearing I overheard. It was just how she looked - like she had been freshly - um, pleasured.

chigirl agony auntYes. People can smell sex. After you have had sex you should open the window and get fresh air into the room to make the smell go away, and then if it was really hot and steamy you might even need a shower.

You also need to wash your hands well, as the smell will stick to your hands if you have touched each other.

If you haven't smelled sex, walk out of the room you had sex in for a little, then walk back in and smell the difference.

Dear Mandy agony auntHi

to answer your question yes you can smell sex in a room . But if you have changed your bed covers, opened a window, a sprayed a little air freshner this would not be the case. As many guys have a strong fluid, which can be easily picked up on when walking back into a room you have both just had sex in. If its a guessing game then, sometimes its very obvious when you have had sex, as you would be flushed, and your lips and earlobes will be fuller. Also your mood would have changed to a more chilled out and happy one ( if he was good ) lol. If you are not supossed to be having sex in your mothers house, then I suggest you find an alternitive place to do so. or cover your tracks well :)

I hope this has helpd

DoubleM agony auntIn my experience and opinion, it depends on proximity to the individual suspected of some clandestine sexual activity. My experience regarded a former girlfriend who had strayed, including providing her new male "friend" a blow job, and I could smell him on her breath and her body when we went to bed that evening.

When confronted, she admitted the affair, and of course that ended the relationship. So yes, sexual activity can certainly result in lingering tell-tale clues, especially following cum swallowing.

if you two are nasty and don't bath regularly, it probably can be smelled. but if that's not the case, then no, you probable haven't left the "sex scent."

The Realist agony auntI think people are just better at guessing that you had sex rather than smelling it. Last weekend my gf got a text from her sister saying that she knew we had sex after we had left which we did but it turned out to just be a wild ass guess because she already new that we would since we were the only two in the house. The thing was that she couldn't tell were we did it at all so I don't beleive that it can smell like sex. If anything the room may be hotter and smell a little sweaty but that is about it.
