My experience with the delicious aroma of the junior high boys when I was in 3rd grade strongly indicates I am 'hard wired' for this.
What 3rd grader is going to come up with something like that, recall this was the 60s, I had zero exposure at that point with anything gay related on TV or in the newspapers (which I wasn't reading yet at the time) it has to be genetic.
Now, the $64 dollar question:
what did the 3rd grade GIRLS think of the aroma of the junior high boys ??
(BTW, if I were hetero, I think that is a really creepy question to be asking, [snicker])

Don't studies show that their brains are different as well?
But just think of all the time and trouble that goes into maintaining many of those differences.

I think promiscuity and cheating are just as immoral when a man does it as they are when a woman does it. Absolutely 0 difference there.
Wait a minute .. who do you all think we men are doing all this alleged cheating with? For every horny man there is a horny woman.
No offense, Vorlon, just never appreciated the smell of middle school boys; even less so after having taught them for 25 years. BO when it comes is often not noticed by those who reek of it the most.

Honest sweat still smells good, but I have noticed an intense dislike of the smell of most of my male relatives. I could do a blindfolded sniff test and correctly ID all my cousins out of any size group you'd care to test.
But I do like some aftershaves and colognes too. Safari is a favorite. Some of the old 70s stuff too, Hai Karate, a couple of the Jovan scents.
HOWEVER, Old Spice will make me gag. I cannot imagine how that can be a commercially viable product. Jesus Fucking Christ that shit REEKS.
BLECH !!

Oh, and perfume? Ladies, don't bother, you're still invisible and unsmellable to me, particularly if there are any men around.
Now, do women like the smell of perfume on other women ??

Depends on the perfume. Its not sexual though. If it has a smell I like I will compliment them saying I like their perfume.

I don't know, I think CL has a point as far as I don't see biological sex as a social construct. As I've said before your genitals are very real natural things, as are the hormones they produce and the secondary sex characteristics those hormones produce. I don't think society will ever be a sexless society where "men" and "women" cease to exist in favour of "human with penis" and "human with vagina", the biological differences are too pronounced.
Gender roles are a social construct though, once you start getting into "women should wear makeup, and men should have short hair, and high heels are for women!". Those are social constructs, and if you look at history and even different cultures today you can see different interpretations of masculinity and femininity. 18th Century French men wore long curled wigs, ancient Egyptian men wore skirts and make-up, and high heels were initially worn exclusively by men for horse riding in The Middle East.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

But there is a lot to be said for the scent of a woman. Hoo ah!
