Sweat Signals Sexual Desire
» Research
Research suggests that the pheromonal conent of male sweat is altered by arousal and that women have an unconscious perception of this.
Chen and her colleagues asked 20 heterosexual guys to stop wearing deodorant and scented products for a few days. Then they told the men to put small pads in their armpits as they watched pornographic videos and became aroused (the researchers confirmed, using electrodes, that the images did the job). Later, the guys were asked to exchange those pads for fresh pads to collect the sweat they produced when they weren’t aroused.
They had some women smell the results while running MRIs.
When a guy is aroused, his sweat activates the female brain
The chemical signal can’t distinguish between a man who has been watching porn and one who is pining for his lover.
