Eau de Men's SWEAT...for Women's Sexual Arousal
November 20th 2007 06:57
Sweat in a bottle might just be the next best-selling cologne in the market! Well, more accurately, the smell of male sweat. After just 20 sniffs of the male chemical signal (androstadienone) found in men's sweat, women's arousal level (the hormone cortisol) shot up within approximately 15 minutes and remained high for up to an hour.
Researchers report that, consistent with previous research, the women experienced improved mood levels and higher sexual arousal - evidenced by increased blood pressure, heart rate...and breathing.
My friend Elise tells me that on most occasions, the smell of the healthy male running beside her at the gym is quite a turn-on - of course the cute bum in the shorts provides additional stimulation, she pants...
So, does a sweaty male turn you on?
How much truth does the numerous researches on the male pheromones hold? Any anecdotal evidence to share?

Eau de Naturale, huh, katyzzz
Hmmm...I don't think you'd be in the minority group, Aimzster
The smell of BO and bad breath is definitely a turn-off...but I reckon it's the initial smells of perspiration that was researched on -- that initial clammy feeling...
Michaelie...I think you've got the *right* definition there! 'FRESH sweat'...that first layer of perspiration
Mind u, Elise does not like that post-work-out smell...!

Consequently, I also like it when girls don't wear any perfume. It's horrid stuff, unless used sparingly. Who wants to kiss a girl's neck and get slapped in the face by some shrieking floral stink?

I believe utterly in pheremones.
My man and I have been together for years, and even if we're screaming at each other over something, if we get close enough to smell each other, thats it, fight over. Whenever we had to live apart and only communicated over the phone we fought constantly - until we saw each other, then it was hours in bed. Just sitting on the couch together smelling him is intoxicating. When I was saying goodbye as he left this weekend to see his dad I said "Did you leave me a shirt youve been wearing?"
Scent is sexy....

Very interesting, Kelonaptra! I've never known anyone who was so in-tuned with pheromones. Even more interesting re. the 'tickler'...!
