Male Underarm Odors Soothe Women

Lavender and vanilla aromatherapy may be all the rage. But new research suggests that male armpit sweat may be just as soothing for women. The effect, say scientists, may have helped get early women into the mood for love.

Chemist George Preti of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, Penn., and colleagues exposed female volunteers for six hours to a fragrance containing men's concentrated armpit sweat. The researchers then tracked levels of luteinizing hormone in the women's bloodstreams. Luteinizing hormone helps regulate the timing of the menstrual cycle.

The scientists report in the journal Biology of Reproduction that the brains of women exposed to the sweat pulsed out more luteinizing hormone faster than women who didn't get armpit whiffs. Women also reported feeling more relaxed while sniffing the sweat. Overall, the pheromones may help improve women's receptivity to sexual advances and to synchronize their fertile times with the presence of men.

Yeah, we'll refer to it as the Sphincter Scale. Remember that each 1 point increase, as with the Richter Scale, represents a one thousand fold increase - i.e. SS level 2 is one thousand times stronger than SS level 1.<ul type="square">SS level 1 is odorless

SS level 2 arouses the curiosity ("Did you....?")

SS level 3 mildly offends the olefactory

SS level 4 offends the dog

SS level 5 affects the way your food tastes

SS level 6 brings tears to your eyes

SS level 7 burns your nasal passages

SS level 8 shreds underwear

SS level 9 blisters paint

SS level 10 clears the Mall of America[/list]Feel free to revise as needed. http://freeconservatives.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

I only WISH I had thought to apply for a gov grant!!! Hell, if they grant a cool quarter of a mil per year for 3 years to study the mating habits of the African Tse Tse fly, I coulda made off with at LEAST 150 grand a year for 2 or 3!!!

Sadly, it was all done on my time (all 5 minutes of it) LOL

[SouthernReBelle]

Now that is a waste of taxpayer money for sure..

might whale farts be responsible for the warming of the oceans , Heather ?... maybe we should hire Japanese whale hunters to save the oceans!
