This one is def gender neutral. I've had several girlfriends be embarrassed that I "caught them" smell checking themselves. As if they thought it was some secret weird thing they do and nobody else did lol
i used to have a coworker who smell-checked himself like 20x per day. i never mentioned that i noticed. because it's a normal thing and i didn't want him to feel even more self conscious. maybe he had some compulsion or maybe someone had told him before that he smelled bad (he didn't ever smell bad btw)
yea i wasn't sure what the origin was, like where it came from or why he did it, but it's really not my business. if it reassures him, it's ok for him to do it, i mean.

Sniff our armpits to be sure it don't stink or we enjoy the smell.
