Document Summary

Women tend to dress in more appealing way during fertile cycle. Red = more sexually desirable for both sexes but not rated as more likeable. Men are more sexually aroused by mediated reotica (sexually explicit video) Selling more smells to cover natural body smell, deemed to be more attractive. In some societies, genital secretions are regarded as aphrodisiacs (love drug, increases libido when consumed) Natural smell of the body is considered as offensive but this is more culturally built. People have them in the mucous lining of the nose. Baby use pheromone to recognize mother, might be used in finding mate. Suspected pheromones might actually play a role in increasing sexual behaviours shown in some studies. E. g. men who wore pheromone increased sexual intercourse but not masturbation. Exposure to another women"s sweat may contribute into the convergence of menstrual cycle. Hetero male and female, lesbians, prefer axillary (underarm) odour from hetero male over gay, and prefer lesbian over gay.
