Body Odor

You know what really grinds my gears, people who complain about body odor.
Now I'm no big body odor fan, but on the other hand I find sweaty bodies really sexy.  I've certainly smelled much worse; raw sewage, rotting flesh (animal, not human thank goodness), burning flesh, sulfur, stink bombs, and the like.  But human body odor doesn't bother me at all.
Maybe I'm desensitized to it because of other foul smells, and the fact that I relate it to pleasure not stink.
It really grinds my gears though when other people complain about body odor.  They always speak up and say be sure to wear your deodorant.  Like the "natural" human body odor is something bad to be ashamed of if you don't wear your deodorant.  I mean, it's unhealthy to smell the way God intended you to smell?  Obviously these people haven't been to a developing nation or large crowds, but then again maybe they have and that's their hangup, "I went to (developing Nation Inserted here) and phew they need deodorant", I guess they're happy to be back to the land of deodorant and the free. 
I knew this girl in college named Sophie from Paris, she looked like a model, smoked like a chimney, often wore the same clothes two days in a row, and totally reeked of major BO.  She was one of the sexiest women I've ever known.(and no, I didn't get the pleasure to "know" her that way but thinking back I wish I did)

Now I shower regularly (I love bathing) and I wear deodorant so as not to offend people offended by body odor, but pushing your hygiene on others... well... that really grinds my gears.
