Monkeys do it, so probably.

It's more like Homo erectus used to sniff each other's butts like erect homos do.

Humans evolved with a much less acute sense of smell for one reason or another, making it pointless. If we had the same sense of smell as dogs or even monkeys we'd probably be sniffing each other more often, but our frontal cortex makes identification much easier by sight anyway.

Each person does have their own unique scent, though. Smelling others is fun.

Do you more mean people in general have unique and fun smells, or that their buttholes do? If the latter, what kind of lifestyle led to that revelation?

>>75632
do you not

The former, although I wouldn't be surprised if everyone's butt also had a different smell.

Their natural scent, their diet and how well they wipe their behinds would probably all be important factors in how they would smell.

I'd like to think it's more than just buttholes that we could smell.

We do smell our hands after giving a handshake. Everyone does it. That tells me we determine some limited things from smell, but I think we are trying too hard to insert the whole butthole thing into this. I get that it's the novelty of smelling an asshole that made this thread interesting, but how many of us are willing to ask someone to fart in our faces?

People with Alzheimer's smell muskier than normal folks. Do you think they have musky butts too?

I don't ask so much as politely offer money in exchange for a fart in my face. Women on the street react badly but strippers are amiable.

That fart powder went right in his mouth. You don't even want to know how hard I'm laughing right now. I'm a little bit ashamed.
