My wife and I get into the ocean pretty often -- sometimes, every day. But when I leave my swimming attire hanging in the bathroom for more than a couple of days (I try not to do that, but sometimes forget), it starts to smell really fishy. My wife asks why it smells so bad after 2 days, but not immediately after getting out of the ocean. I tell her The ocean is a soup of life, and when you get out there are millions of living critters in the fabric -- it's all alive. After 2 days... not so much
- emblaegh 4y agoI assume the stink come from chemicals excreted by other living things eating the dead ones. So the stink is not a sign that your trunks are less full of life, just that it got new tenants.
- anamexis 4y agoSeems like a technicality. By that logic, all stinky things are caused by living things instead of dead things.
- gmiller123456 4y agoMaybe not ALL stinky things. But apparently humans evolved to be sensitive to, and repulsed by the the secretions of some bacteria, because the ones who weren't died pretty early.
- avierax 4y agoYeah, that was also a very early thing to evolve. So much that the ones that evolved it hardly could be called humans at all.
- bee_rider 4y agoDespite the smells, there are few bodies of water that I’d rather swim in than cold oceans, as far as nasty little germs and whatnot go.
- rcpt 4y agoYou're already married it's ok to admit that you peed in your wetsuit while walking to the car.
- daveslash 4y agoHeh, well, yes. I've peed in my wetsuit. But some people are really serious about such things. like this guy....
