Given how important the sense of smell is to sex and attraction, you could be forgiven for thinking that a hard-working deodorant or antiperspirant is a key tool of seduction (especially if you've seen an Axe commercial lately). And, sure, stale B.O. is never going to help you score a second date.

But most dermatologists seem to agree that our fear of sweating far exceeds the reality of how much we actually perspire--and that most of us could very easily go without underarm products more often than not, especially at this time of year. Plus, if you buy into the argument that attraction is based on differing immune systems, how are we ever going to tell who's the One for us if we all smell like we're Sure? Maybe it's time to raise your hand if you're horny, instead.

"I never use deodorant," Ken Friedman, an owner of the Spotted Pig restaurant in NYC, tells the New York Times. "I like girls who don't use anything. They sort of smell like sex." (And then there's the controversial argument that the aluminum in antiperspirants may increase a woman's risk for breast cancer. Hello, crystal stick!)

Of course, those same dermatologists who encourage a more hippie approach to the pits admit they rarely go without roll-on themselves, even while pointing out that sweat doesn't smell until it's left to fester for a while (we know: ew). So...could you--or do you--ever go without? And if so, why? Or are you on the other end of the scale, kind of wishing you could afford the Hollywood solution to perspiration? (Rumor has it that some celebs get Botox injected into their pits before a big 'do to paralyze the sweat glands. We know: bigger ew.)
