Scent
The human sense of smell is actually linked to many emotional triggers such as memories in our life. As far as scent is concerned with sexual sensory play, it is often neglected. This is because it takes a bit more creativity and knowledge to know how to effectively manipulate a person’s sense of smell to produce the desired reactions. There are many different types of sexual scent play though they are usually incorporated with sensory deprivation. By cutting off other senses, such as by blindfolding a person, the sense of smell overcompensates and becomes stronger. This heightens the scent play from the beginning. Usually, unpleasant smells are used in scent play, especially with BDSM. A submissive may be restrained and is usually blindfolded so he/she cannot see the source of smell. Then, foul odors such as scat, urine or rotting food are place on or around the submissive’s nose.
