Is it normal that the natural smell of men turns me off?

Every single time I've felt convinced I was attracted to a guy, my feelings immediately went away once I get close enough to smell him. I'm 21f and this has happened on five seperate occasions. The smell isn't necessarily bad, and they weren't unhygienic. I just didn't like the smell, they smelled of testosterone.

It's upsetting because whenever I feel like I could be in a relationship with a man, I just can't. The smell was always the turning point of my attraction, and I don't want to get close to a man intimately because of this. Is this normal?

    That's super unfortunate I'm sorry to hear that. I'd imagine there could be some kind of reconditioning you could do so that you like the smell and associate it with good things.

    I’ve always gone out of my way to smell my men.

    Sounds like some kind of OCD
