Size Matters When It Comes to Nostrils, Study Finds

Sep 15, 7:48 AM (ET)

BERLIN (Reuters) - Large nostrils count more than a big nose when it come to smelling power, said German scientists Wednesday after completing a three-year-long study aimed at treating smelling disorders.
Researcher Julia Vent from the University of Cologne examined 95 noses of men between 25 and 58 over three years to learn more about the link between nostril size and odor sensitivity and surgical methods to alleviate disorders.

"We found the bigger the nostril, the better the smelling power," said University of Cologne spokesman Christoph Uhlhaas. "It is not just outer size that counts." The results also found the right nostril is often more sensitive than the left.

Damn, and here I thought the US had a lock on really fucking stupid research grants.

Nope; this must be wrong. Perhaps something about the study was flawed. My girlfriend has some of the smallest nostrils in the world (I can't get even the tip of one of my skinny fingers into either nostril), coupled with the sharpest olfactory sense on record. Pure, scientifical fact.

My nostrils are pretty damn huge (i've been likened to a camel before) and I have brilliant olfactory response. My girlfriend never believes me that I can smell her vagina on my fingers even after 2 days if I don't wash them. This either proves that my smelling ability is good, or that my girlfriend's hygiene isn't quite up to par.

Two days? And youre questioning your girlfriend's hygiene? Eeesh!

No shit, endofanera.

Besides, I've experienced the same phenomenon, where I can detect the scent of vagina on my hands a few days later. And this is after washing my hands MANY TIMES. In these instances the hygene of my female partner was IMPECCABLE as well. In fact the hygene should rarely be called into question - such a juvenile assumption along the lines of "dead fish".

There may be some misunderstanding by folks in general, but the scent that is normally produced (assuming the girl is healthy) is a normal funtion of the interaction of the secretions produced by the body and the symbiotic bacteria that reside in the vagina. The vaginal secretions produced include various amino groups, phenyls, and fatty acids that are processed by the bacteria that live there and protect the vagina from infections. These by-products are responsible for the scent and are NORMAL and vary during the monthly cycle due to the minute changes in body chemistry. Theses scents are usually at their stongest and most appealing during ovulation, and much less so during menstruation including the days immediately afterword.

It is hypothesized that there is a biological male response to these scents and that although not pheromones in the true sense, the purpose and functioning of these scents (arousal, intoxicating response) are similar.

BTW: my nostrils are also pretty large and after I quit smoking my sensitivity to scents increased tremedously. Also, Chicago is one stinky fucking city, and smells like a combination of ass, sewer gas, deisel exhaust, and creosote most of the time. The great food makes up for it.

Oh yeah, waiting room:

(imagine a line drawing of a bar of soap. with suds. here.)
GET SOME!

Edited b/c that soap picture was too big and causing that annoying "wraparound" effect.

This may be the reason I didn't finish college.

I learned much of this from the ReSearch publications book about "Bodily Fluids" (I can't remember the book number). Very informative.

I also loathe nothing more than ignorance regarding sex and sexuality. Probably nothing has been the cause of more human misery and stupidity than the misunderstanding and shame associated with such a basic and essential element of life.

I will contribute whenever possible to destroy the idiocy perpetuated by religion and culture in regards to this topic. In that sense I am a futurist: Fuck traditional culture and values, and fuck religion.

Hah, the hygiene thing was a joke. But I am in the same case as geiginni, since my girlfriend doesn't have a stank cooter. I'm a pretty good pussy scholar myself if I must say.
