This is a work of fiction. Nevertheless, all people mentioned in this story are over the age of 18.

He absolutely reeked. And the fella across from him on the weight bench had noticed.
It wasn't that he didn't bathe... it's that he didn't bathe ... much.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Micah was a cocky young man--cocky, but not toxic in his masculinity--just assured and confident, but approachable.
He had just turned 28 and had basically raised himself, having lost both parents at an early age. He'd been kicked around from pillar to post, finishing high school at 17 and college by 20. Most took him for a dimwit--an aloof, stinky mess, but he was far from it. The dude was a brilliant craftsman, who's work had caught the attention of many locals in the metro area where he lived. He gravitated to manual labor where he could work with his hands, building up a lather, and not worry about how he smelled. As a tradesman who dabbled in unique wood and metal works, his usual scent was a mixture of sweat, dirt, musk, and leather. He wore tank tops in the summer, stained a bit from his artistic, but manual work, and always reeking of his body odor. But he also knew that some folks (mainly men) really got their rocks off on that scent--and that was his secret.
He was tall, and lean, but not skinny--dark as night, and as handsome as a magazine model. He was also quite hairy, not a common trait for a Black man. Hairy chest, thick, kinky coiled hair so beautiful his suitors (white and black) couldn't help but touch it and run their fingers through it. His thick full beard, and balls were so hairy, sometimes it was hard to even see them--tight, coiled, thick and super-musky. He liked it and so did his sex partners. He knew that those who got the opportunity to suck him, relished the strong, salty, woody, acrid odor his fragrant batter-makers made. It drove them crazy, and he was happy to be on the receiving end of those glorious blow jobs. Sometimes he even got off on his own funk. When he'd beat off, he'd get a whiff of them and go into overdrive, beating his dick so fast and so hard he couldn't help but bust a copious load of honey all over himself and anything (or anyone else) that happened to be in firing range. Hot, viscous, syrupy nutt that was so salty and so sweet, his partners sucked it down like human caramel.
But the prize funk-producing machines were his hairy underarms and furry, sweaty, masculine ass, which was round, high, hard, and quite muscular. He never got into the whole top or bottom debate, and honestly, if a dude wanted to rut around there with his finger and tongue, he was okay with it. And rut they did. His ass was so odorous that it drove sweat pigs wild. They would debase themselves to no end just to eat his ass for hours... much to Micah's pleasure.
So many men offered to buy his used, soiled, and highly-aromatic sweats, underwear, and socks--he wore them weeks at a time and had a thriving business on the Internet. Men paid top dollar for his worn wear. When some folks looked at him and wondered how he was able to afford a modern, small bachelor condominium in the outskirts of the city, he just smiled--they just didn't realize how much money was made in selling these sex-hungry men his used gear. His jocks never had skid marks or anything, but they were super-funky and commanded top dollar.
