Something smells funny…

Most have heard that smell is closely tied to memory, but did you know there is also a part of smell that leads to a little more bedroom action? I've long heard the propensity for men to be attracted to women wearing certain scents; for example, vanilla (does my new Vanilla Cupcake body wash from Sephora make you randy?). But did you know that people were… FAKING it?

Human Pheromones exist to "woo" the opposite sex by simulating a mix of mammal-ready "vomodors" and androstadierones found in humans, bottled into a handy perfume/cologne. The scent promises (nee, guarantees) to stimulate all that naughtiness. I found this site about human pheromones, specifically the Pheromones Institute, and I became seriously interested in the fascination of smell in regard to sex, lust, and general over-friendliness to the opposite sex. Wikipedia defines "pheromones" as "to bear hormones." I wouldn't be surprised if products such as these contained some blend of steroids that seeped into bloodstreams and just made you feel manlier. Oooooohh. (I made that sound with my best Hans-and-Fran muscle face). In addition, there is no concluded study that verifies these pheromone-based products actually change behaviors to be more sexual (or perverse).

For a great laugh at all the losers you made fun of in the club with shiny shirts and popped colors, the testimonial page highlights those as despicable horn-dogs with nothing better going for them than trumping their buddies in the amount of times they get some hot action. Ironically, by using the "other head," they lost all skills to count the number of times they were a douchbag.

Is this desperation in dating at its worst? Or is it completely typical of the sexed-up male psyche to believe that "more means more"?

Stick around to crack up at lines like this: cheaper than inviting your mate at lunch and much worth it. Seriously.

So, if I want to go bang some hot chick, will the pheromones for men attract hot, sexy women work to ME? Then I have a few celebrities in which I would like to stalk… er, call.

Has anyone ever tried this stuff? What is your experience? Did it work?

When it comes down to my personal study on odor, I don't really care to smell a man's sweat, balls, boxers or otherwise. I'm more turned on by the picture of my boyfriend's penis I keep in my purse.

    Someone from one of the companies pitched me to test their product. I don’t believe a minute of it.

    You seriously are going to make me pee my pants laughing! Penis picture. HA! I wondered the same thing about how pheromone perfume/cologne would work for the *same* sex. Throw some on and I’ll let you know if it works ;) Then again, maybe if I just splash myself with a little eau de beer I’ll get the same effect!

    PS - Is poppin’ colors anything like poppin’ collars?! hehe

Make me laugh
