Not in that sense, don't misquote me

Ok Sir, no wam..
Up blues

Okay... that's right...

I had that at the back of my mind too. But most times except the person comes out openly or directly to ask I don't like to jump into conclusions.

Especially in cases like depression.

Sometimes even a few ones can need help genuinely. And we can't be absolutely sure the genuine ones so it's to assist when we can.

They say if you close your eyes while bad people are passing then when a good person passes you would miss him.

What I have said so far hasn't cost me anything.

Until the person asks for money... then I know what to respond then

Sometimes too when people ask they might be in need genuinely!

I understand

It smells like egg not bleach. You have lost your sense of smell.

As long as it has a smell, no problem

AngelSlay:
That’s actually a really sharp observation 👌🏽—and you haven’t lost your sense of smell. What you’re noticing is similarities in certain chemical compounds that give both bleach (like Hypo) and semen a somewhat “chlorine/bleach-like” scent.

Here’s the breakdown:

1. Hypo bleach (sodium hypochlorite):
When it touches organic matter (like your skin oils, sweat, or even the natural proteins on your fingers), it can release chloramines and other volatile nitrogen compounds. These have that sharp, pungent “chlorine” or “swimming pool” smell.

2. Semen (sperm fluid):
Semen contains proteins, sugars, and a relatively high amount of amines (compounds derived from ammonia, like putrescine, spermine, spermidine).

These amines are alkaline and have a “bleachy / chlorine-like” or sometimes “fishy” smell depending on concentration.

Fun fact: the compound spermine was first isolated from semen in the 1600s, and it has that exact sharp bleach-like odor.

So, what your nose is picking up is the similar family of nitrogen-based compounds (amines/chloramines). Your brain then associates them as “similar smells,” even though they come from different sources.

You’re definitely not alone in noticing this—lots of people have reported that semen smells like bleach, chlorine, or cleaning products. It’s pure chemistry, not a fault of your sense of smell.

Thanks Dear

saintnegroid:
bleach ke.... Go check your self o

You should be the one to check yourself if yours doesn't smell that way.

Sunshine34:
You hate jokes, I don't like too serious people,

Do I need you to like me?

toprealman:
It’s more fun to do a little research about stuff like this before you post. The conversation is deeper and more informative.
The spermine, an aliphatic polyamine ( open chain organic compound- chemistry sweet sha😎) undergoes complete oxidation, producing the bleach/ammonia-like smell.

So, in your mind, you've typed something comprehensible here.
Is asking the question on nairaland not part of the research too, or what are you saying?

brain54:
Try and make new friends...

Socialize as much as you can with people. Gradually, you will get better!

Have a nice day please

brain54:
I understand that...

Try exercising, outdoor activities like jogging, walking even a walk in a park might be helpful.


Also connect with friends, family for support. Try and socialize as much as possible. Try not to be alone or lonely as much as possible.

Engage in hobbies or leisure activities.

I hope this helps.

You are strong!

I appreciate your advice. Thanks.
But I don't have close friends of such, neither do I have blood siblings. Relatives are not good

brain54:
Na depression dey do you so o...

Seek medical assistance!

Thank you, but medical assistance isn't sought after with an empty pocket Sir

None.... Except His Excellency, Chief Peter Gregory OBI

Life has no meaning to me anymore.

The whole thing is just tiring and frustrating.

My mental health is gone.

Sometimes, I feel really Hopeless, Depressed, Dejected, Deserted and aloof from everything that pertains to life.

I'm tired of motivating myself since there's nobody to motivate me. I'm Tired of being anxious about the next minute of my life.

Nothing is working. I hate this negative confession, but this is just the ugly reality of the situation.

I'm planning to put my phone on DND to stop every incoming call and I won't call anyone either. Talking to people is a waste of time for me. I don't need to know what's going on with anybody right now except it's news that will improve my present situation. Once my phone is ringing, I get pissed, especially when the call is already obviously an unimportant one.

Nothing looks appealing to me right now. I'm burdened to the brim. A lot I can't say here. A lot.
It's a life of struggle.

They say, "if he had spoken out, he would have gotten help instead of taking such a tragic decision. What now happens to the family he left behind"?. But same people will still aggravate your woes if you told them.

I don't understand the World we are living in. It appears to be more cruel than I ever envisaged.

PerfectMan24:
Doctors, Sheun & co. Pls be fast some people are waiting hear from you.

Yes o. I'm waiting. Eagerly waiting

Nickisindigo:
You they lick sperm ni or how do you the smell of it

You don't judge people by your own standards na. You do it doesn't mean others do same.

Being wanting to ask this question for a very long time now, but each time I wanted to, there's no one to ask.

Am I the only experiencing this or have I lost my sense of smell?

There's a way hypo bleach smells when it touches your fingers and same smell can be likened to that of the Sperm/semen.

Doctors on nairaland, could you please explain the phenomenon behind this?

Dogalmighty17:
She is o. We don't turn her to celeb because of bobby. We Nigerian men will never have sense. I saw somewhere that the assault video was viewed over 33 million times. Tell me that we are not mad in this country.

Men are ever offering her a 500k job.
Others are offering her some plots of land and to help her build a house on same free land.

The life isn't fair.
Nigerians like to glorify rubbish.

If na man Dem do this tin, he wouldn't be getting all these offers

I knew the report was false all along.

So the babe is now a celebrity or what exactly?
