Semen and dog poop.

Why exactly do people plant something that smells like bestial-sodomy in their back yard?

Lol.  That's what my mom keeps asking! (The tree was there when she bought the house.)

Actually, as I recall, a long while back a bunch of Ginkos were given to the city of St Paul as a gift by the Chinese government.  Now, the city was smart enough to only plant the male ones, which don't produce stinky fruit, but I suspect it became fashionable to have a Ginko tree because of that, and the people who planted it probably didn't realize that there was a difference between male and female Ginko trees until it was too late.  I wonder if it's possible for a tree to have a sex change ...   

And so as not to totally hijack the thread ...  I was never fishy, other than briefly when I had a "non-specific" infection.  Otherwise I just smelled pleasantly musky.  Now there is a definite masculine odor.  I can actually still smell the old smell underneath, but with a strong overlay of sweaty guy.

Never smelt the man bits. So haven't got a clue...

Try and stay away from those bits!

I can't remember what my scent used to be like, but I know that it changed. Nowadays its a stronger, muskier smell with a metallic edge to it.

These last two weeks I've noticed that I've become quite metallic. If I lick myself (like fingers) it's like licking a battery. Seriously. Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so, does it subside or die down?

I expect my body to do weird things since new hormones are being introduced and are "fighting with" the pre-existing hormones. I just didn't think I'd turn into a battery.

I don't understand why we evolved the fishy smell, it's really not attractive. Maybe primitive humans used women as scent traps to catch animals or something.

i really don't mind the fishy smell. i acknowledge that i have gone from having a rather pleasant male scent to a rather smelly female scent. but i like it!

Being a battery can't be all that bad. You can jump your own car now.
Maybe your body is hoarding iron. Periods are a great way to waste resources (especially iron).

Yes! I am a traveling AAA.

Yes they are. Hmm. You may have a point. It is during that most wonderful time of the month. Plus, I got off of estrogen (which I've been on for 20+ years) about a week before starting T so I expected my hormones to be as balanced as an elephant on a tightrope.

! UNfortunately my sense of smell seems to be leaving as well, nothing like smelling bad and you not knowing it.
Cheers,

Change in smell was an unexpected bonus.  Always hated that smell.  Now I like the way I smell.
