　　Semen, like saliva, gastrointestinal fluid, blood, etc., are all body fluids of the human body, but only semen has the most distinctive smell. Semen is not a pure fluid like other body fluids, it is a mixed fluid.

However, in recent years, scientists have discovered many secreted substances in the human body that can affect the sense of smell of the opposite sex, indicating that the sense of smell may still be one of the important sexual sensory organs of the human body, and it is necessary to conduct in-depth research. >>Three doubts about semen
