I’m not sure about smell, as pheremones are a bit weird and aren’t totally sensed via smell, but it is a known thing that your pheremones shift a lot while pregnant and people can in fact sense that shift. (Fun fact: They also do so on hormonal birth control, which is basically trying to convince your body you’re already pregnant, no need to release an egg cell this cycle, we’re good here, toooootally gestating a fetus right now.)
Um, no. Hormonal birth control is not tricking your body into thinking it’s already gestating. That would involve a totally different hormone and cause a lot of unwanted side effects. Hormonal birth control is about keeping hormone levels steady throughout the month, so you don’t get the fluctuations that signal the body to release an egg. Nothing more, nothing less.
I don’t recall either of us smelling any different, but pregnant women do have a stronger taste during cunnilingus. I would say why, but the explanation makes it sound grosser than it is. Stupid proper medical terms ruining all the fun.
The weird thing was, that didn’t happen with birth control pills. So that must be controlled by a different hormone, I guess?
snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
It’s also important to pick your moments, Walky!
I choose to believe this is based on personal experience.
Legitimate and slightly creepy question:
Do pregnant women smell different?

Pheromones are not really something humans can consciously detect, so I don’t think there would be any noticeable change in smell
Super strength + Pregnancy hormones… Walky likes living on the edge, doesn’t he?
In a surprise twist, it’s Machete who punches him from within Joyce’s belly.
(Not in an Alien sort of way. HA would find it much funnier to have the kid punching without breaking through.)
Thanks for reminding me of the not-slapstick one https://www.lambiek.net/artists/c/cobain_kurt.htm
Walky also has super strength, though it’s probably not a good idea for him to piss off Joyce anyway.
