Fresh sweat really is full of pheromones and can smell really sexy.

Its when that sweat gets stale you start to get the classic rancid BO smell.

    No study has conclusively isolated or identified human sex pheromones, although various researchers have investigated the possibility of their existence.

    Maybe not pheromones, but fresh sweat does have an odor, and it's a sexy one. It quits being sexy once it gets rancid, though. Of course, there are some people who get turned on by bad body odor, but that's rare.
