Curious about the "odor test". Though I could never smell my own "scent", my ex was highly sensitive to it, and always talked about my "smell". I guess I did stink after all. GRH! (= gaffaw right here)
Sometimes individual circumstances (stupidity, adherence to tradition, etc) trumps nature.
The smell test to avoid incest: it's subconscious; we don't know it's happening. It's really not about stink (maybe I oversimplified it); it's the brain saying "I don't like it. This person's not for me."
