I won't say that you stop smelling it. You just get used to it, and it
begins to smell normal. Ever drive by a feedlot when the wind is from
the wrong way? This smell is overwhelming and intolerable. Yet people
work there without special oxygen masks or filters.

I think it is almost universal, though, that a clean person smells
better than a filthy, excrement-covered one. And is more likely to
arouse the interest of the opposite sex.
