Nota del editor: este artículo se publicó por primera vez el 18 de octubre de 2017.<\/em><\/p>\n

Aquí hay una situación con la que todos los hombres se identificarán, incluso si no lo admiten: acabas de llegar a casa después de un largo día de trabajo, durante el cual tus bolas estaban apretadas entre la ropa interior y el muslo. Te agachas parareorganizar a sus compañeros, tal vez rascarse con entusiasmo esa picazón persistente. Y mientras quita las manos de sus calzoncillos, se siente abrumado por el impulso irresistible de olfatear los dos o tres dedos que se acaban de clavar profundamente en su saco de nueces.<\/p>\n

Puedes tratar de resistir el impulso, mantener cierta apariencia de decencia humana evolucionada, pero fallas: Por supuesto que fallas. El hedor de tu pelota es como una droga para ti. Resoplas tus dedos apestosos, luego continúas con tu día, extrañamentesatisfecho.<\/p>\n

¿Por qué los hombres\u200a\u2014\u200atodos<\/em> hombres ¡y aparentemente mujeres también!<\/a>\u200a\u2014\u200ado esto sigue siendo un misterio.¿Están realizando una prueba de olor para ver si todo está bien ahí abajo?¿Es simple curiosidad primitiva?Un usuario de Redditargumenta<\/a> que es solo una cuestión de placer personal :<\/p>\n

No sé si todos los chicos lo hacen, y yo no lo hago en público o con gente. Pero si estoy solo y me rasco las bolas, definitivamente lo hago. También cuando termino de hacer ejercicio yme meto en la ducha, también huelo mis calzoncillos sudorosos donde descansan mis bolas, luego me rasco las bolas y me huelo los dedos. La respuesta a por qué hago esto es bastante simple: me gusta el olor de mis bolas.u00a0[sic]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pero tiene que haber más que eso por favor, Dios, que haya más que eso. Buscando tranquilidad, buscamos por todas partes respuestas más concretas. Preguntamos a químicos orgánicos. Preguntamos a atención primariaespecialistas. Incluso preguntamos a psicólogos evolutivos. Nadie quería responder a nuestra pregunta. Nuestro amor por nuestro propio olor a pelota, temíamos, seguiría siendo un misterio.<\/p>\n

¡Pero por fin! Uno respondió: BiopsicólogoNigel Barber<\/a>, que se especializa en el comportamiento sexual y reproductivo utilizando un enfoque evolutivo. Según Barber, ni la higiene ni la curiosidad son la razón de este enamoramiento. En cambio, teoriza que los hombres se huelen los dedos que huelen a sudor para sentirse más vivos.<\/p>\n

\u201c Dudo que sentir nuestros propios olores o feromonas esté relacionado con la higiene,\u201c me dice. \u201c\u201cTal vez sea un ejemplo de comportamiento autorreferencial análogo a mirarse en un espejo. En cada caso, la percepciónde sí mismo puede elevar el estado de ánimo y aumentar la autoestima. Presumiblemente, las personas que se acicalan frente a un espejo se sienten mejor como resultado y la percepción de los olores corporales puede ser similar. Curiosamente, sin embargo, los perros que no son conscientes de sí mismos\u200a\u2014\u200atienen poco interés en su propio\u00a0olor.\u201d<\/p>\n

En términos más simples, oler el olor de tu pelota es tranquilizador, porque solidifica el hecho de que eres un ser humano único, alguien que produce un olor único, aunque probablemente nadie más lo apreciaría.<\/p>\n

Barber agrega que nuestra atracción instintiva por nuestro propio olor es esencialmente una forma deegoísmo<\/a>, una teoría filosófica que reconoce el yo por encima de todo. Lo cual es justo: realmente no hay nada como una fuerte bocanada del olor de tu propio escroto para recordarte que estás viviendo la vida de una forma única y propia.<\/p>\n","protegido":falso},"extracto":{"renderizado":"
