Yeah... the reason your own sons smell unpleasant to you is... so you don't... so family doesn't... nevermind.
• u/Fabulous_Log844 8h ago I am sure you were trying to be clever and smart here. But whatever joke you were trying to make it didn't land. • u/Greenshardware 8h ago Not really. It's just awkward. There's a biological reason your own blood smells bad. MHC genes and scent perception is very, very real. • u/PomPomMom93 4h ago Besides my dad smelling like cigarette smoke, I do not experience this, and yet I don’t feel the urge to commit incest. People who will commit incest if their family members don’t stink are weird. • u/Greenshardware 19m ago You absolutely do though. Every human does. You just don't realize it's happening. Why your mind focused on direct family is interesting, but it works on a far broader spectrum of genetic similarity than that.
