Barbarian women = smelly?

IIRC, beautiful Roman women were well-groomed and bathed all the time naked with each other? :)

If you are into hairy Italian gals, sure.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

And Roman men also bathed naked with each other. Pass.

Barbarian men spent even more naked time together, including in battle?

Female sweat contains a lot of pheromones that get masked by deodorants and perfumes. One whiff of those she-scents and you'll forget the smell to the sudden awakening of other primal senses. . .

Yes, that's called the "vomiting reflex".

Went barbarians as hands down that's how we ended up the people we are today.

Breaking News Raz, humans have been hairy for all of history up until about 1985.  :hmm:

Indeed.  Iirc, armpit shaving (in America, Muslims already did it, duuno about Asians) was largely invented by Macy's in particular and high fashion in general in the early 1900s.  Dunno about leg shaving.  Pubic hair is like 1985, as Mongers says, spearheaded in equal measure by porn and revealing bathing attire; I think it's probably a fad.  We'll still have trimming forever, but straight up baldness, I dunno.  It's not something I think enough people really give a shit about to go to extreme measures for it, other than perhaps professional sexual performers.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
