Why do some women like going around and sniffing their husband or boyfriend's shirts?


Question:


Answers:
because they like the smell of their man -- and miss him - i have a shirt of my husband's that barely (i think it's just about gone) smells like him, that I smell before bed..he's deployed - been gone almost a year and miss everything about him!

Other Answers:
The answer is pheromones, from the Greek pherein (to transport) and hormon (to stimulate). They are chemical signals detected by a specialized organ inside the nose or mouth called the vomeronasal organ, or VNO.
Researchers suspect this is the reason why the cycles of women who live together become synchronized over time, why a baby can always recognize his/her mother by smell only, or why females are attracted to males with healthy immune systems.
