Throughout history, scents have played a large role in the relationships between people. We know that scent has a critical importance in choosing a partner, especially in primitive times. This familiar situation has evolved over time and today we come across products such as perfume and cologne.
Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg. As you dive deeper, you witness how dark places this issue of attracting the opposite sex has reached. As an example, in this content, we will talk about the tendency of the opposite sex to buy used and naturally smelly clothes. Let’s get started.
You may have come across those who make this purchase a habit on the Internet:
The number of people in question has increased considerably in recent years, as we can see from the dirty clothes advertisements in second-hand sales applications. When this took place in the social media, we wanted to clarify the issue with the information provided by the people on the other side of the business, that is, the people who made these sales.
Before everything…
It would not be correct to say that what we call fetish is a psychological problem. However, if it seriously damages social life and brings risks such as harming the other party, it becomes necessary to consult a specialist. In other words, as long as the person does not harm himself or the other party, we can say that fetishes are indisputable.
Now let’s answer our question: why do used socks and underwear attract the attention of others?
The term olfactophilia can shed some light on this subject. The term in question means being sexually affected by odors coming from the human body. In particular, we can say that the sexual regions are the leading ones here. “What does this have to do with our topic?” You may be thinking.
These odors can remain on the clothes. We’re not talking about scents like cologne or perfume, anyway. An example of this is when you sweat while doing sports and then your clothes smell of sweat. Normally, you throw them in the wash. But those who are in this fetish world often continue to use the clothes in question.
If you are wondering where I can start my career(!):
It is seen that even people who do not sell in this area are offered to sell their clothes. These people, who aim to earn money in a short way, also sell the clothes in question without washing them. However, when they are asked to wear the clothes for a week, as an example, for further sales, they are left in surprise.
Well (not) well, but what do the fields do with them?

Therapist Pamela Supple, one of the experts in the field, says that buyers smell these, sometimes wear them, sometimes fantasize and sexually attract them. Although this does not mean much for sellers, we can roughly say that buyers feel as if they are connecting with the seller.
For this reason, they want photos of the underwear or socks we mentioned before purchasing them. Or they may wonder about details such as how long it was worn and when it was last worn.
Don’t forget about bonding. Because there are similar reasons behind the big money invested in subscription transactions on sites like OnlyFans.
Let’s say every business has a challenge: Is it easy to sell used dirty socks?
There are those of both sexes who turn it into a business and earn thousands of dollars. But things get a little ugly when we think about having to do this for someone who is a cleaning freak. Because in this area, there are those who use materials such as cheese to add different scents to their clothes.
Now the serious part: Due to hygiene rules, these sales cannot be made on shopping sites.
These sales are mostly carried out on Ebay. However, the company removes them from the site as soon as they notice them and closes user accounts. However, the number of people who evade such prohibitions by using different patterns in the titles is very high. Although these are found in the depths of Ebay’s adult products category, the company, as we said, is trying to remove them as quickly as possible.
Now, these have started to be seen in some second-hand sales applications in our country.
Let’s be clear: Ebay does not ban these products because it is against people’s interests.
A lot of clothes are already sold on the site. But the key here is that they are clean. In this situation, shopping platforms immediately take them off the air, as buyers prefer used and dirty products the most. Although we have said that the subject of fetish is indisputable, we should state that they are right, since hygiene and health are in question here.
