Because their sense of smell is so much better than ours, dogs rely a lot on it. For them, sniffing is a means of obtaining important information rather than merely catching a scent of something strange. However, why do they seem particularly eager to sniff your intimate parts? Let’s examine it more closely.
A website called Master Bowie claims that your dog’s primary motivation for smelling is straightforward: information collecting. Because their noses are so sensitive, dogs utilize their sense of smell to learn about their surroundings and the people in it, including you!
Apocrine glands, which produce sweat, are located throughout the human body, including the vaginal area and armpits. Pheromones, which are molecules that transmit a lot of information, are released by these glands. Dogs may learn about our age, sex, mood, health, and other personal information from pheromones.
It’s interesting to note that your dog can be drawn to sniffing your privates because these glands are located near places like the genitalia and armpits. The crotch area becomes their primary focus because they can’t easily reach your armpits (unless you lift your arm to meet them).
Smelling your privates is essentially your dog’s method of saying “hello” and learning as much as they can. It’s their way of getting to know someone new and getting to know them.
Dogs don’t utilize words or body language to communicate the same way humans do. Rather, they use fragrances to collect a variety of data. The first thing that dogs do when they meet other dogs is sniff each other’s private parts. They simply get to know each other in this way. For dogs, sniffing is the same as introducing ourselves or shaking hands.
Your dog is basically asking you questions about who you are, such as “Who are you?” “How are you feeling today?” or “What is your health like?” when they sniff your intimate areas. It’s a nonverbal welcome that helps others connect and get to know you better.
