8. Olfactophilia
Ever wonder why people are drawn to certain smells? Or maybe why a smell reminds them of something sexual? These smells usually consist of bodily odors but are by far not limited to that. Some people love the smell of gasoline; one could even argue that all these candle shops that are pimping out those lavender candles are encouraging olfacophilia. That being said, this fetish is usually associated with the body being turned on by the smell of a fart or stinky armpits, or the smell of sweat after a hard workout. Truly these people do not like these smells, they are just associating them back to the “emotional” part of their brain that triggers memories associated with the same smell or something that had a similar smell.
