That last post has inspired me to do a series on a scent theme. I don’t think I’ve done one of those before.
Scent is one of those things that held little interest for me when I started exploring kink. Now – for reasons I can’t explain – it has turned into a major kink. Odd how these things evolve over time. I think part of the appeal is that it’s intimate, but in a slightly dirty degrading way.
This makes for a nice twist on the usual shoe licking scene. Her hand behind his head, forcing him into the shoe is a particularly nice touch. I’m afraid I don’t have an attribution for the source.
For me, scent has always played a central role in my explorations of kink. As you say, part of the appeal is that it is intimate and “dirty” at the same time. Being “forced” or made to sniff a Mistress’s panties or sweaty shoes and feet is really an invitation for more intimacy, albeit in a non-traditional way.
Scent is also, as I understand it, our most primal of senses, and so must tick a lot of buttons and get “intimately” entwined with our other senses when encoding pleasurable experiences in our minds, so that memorable sights and sounds, will also trigger anticipation for the scents we associate with those memories.
