I can't take any sports romance seriously because I just assume the characters must be sweaty and smelly after playing. Of course they can bathe later, but they can't be attractive in the sport uniform or while playing.

This goes for stuff like Heated Rivalry, and sports-related romance novels, and even things like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. It gives me the ick.

tbf, some people find that a turn-on.

I mean... they can be attractive from a distance, surely? They can still look good as long as you don't have to smell them before a shower?

But it is definitely some of the appeal for many, yeah.

(and like, I'm with you on just not getting the appeal of sports romance! I don't see the appeal of SPORTS, for the most part. I am FASCINATED by the fact that you see actual real life sports figures having actual real life relationships the same way as you view the sports romance, like Travis Kelce probably just showers before he and Taylor get all cozy but his sweat is haunting the narrative. I mean I would never date a football man so I can't argue with you about this. Thank you for giving us a window onto this line of thought, I will continue to think about it)

This is so weird to me lol I think being sweaty is part of the eroticism

A lot of sexual encounters are messy and smelly and par for the course, and that's why it's part of the appeal IMO

Agreed... don't we have pheromones or something? Or do some folks insist only on being around their partner if they never ever ever sweat or even give off an odor inconsistent with their cologne/perfume? I feel like that's an arrangement destined to fail.
