How does heterosexual attraction produce odors that affect male and female attractiveness
Every human body has inherent physiological odors, which are often difficult to smell by oneself and can only be felt by others. Due to different living environment, occupational nature and working conditions, this inherent physiological smell is often covered by foreign smells, such as the Lysol smell on medical staff; Smokers have a tobacco leaf odor; Farmers have a smell of soil and so on. Of course, these foreign odors can be removed by washing to restore the original human body odor. If not cleaned and removed, as long as the taste is not too strong, it cannot be detected by oneself, and outsiders often can clearly feel it. This is called entering the room of sesame, and not smelling its fragrance for a long time. Therefore, some women use fragrant cosmetics, which greatly intoxicate men, and she herself is not aware of such a magical scent on her body; A girl hugging a man's arms is often seen by men as pursuing a sense of security, but in fact, feeling the masculinity in men is an important factor. On the contrary, a bad odor can make the opposite sex stay away.
Generally speaking, women are more sensitive to smell than men. Moreover, the inherent physiological smell of women is stronger than that of men, and its intensity will change with the change of Menstrual cycle. Therefore, women are better at and need to use perfume and perfume powder to cover up those bad smells.
We often have the experience of a young girl rushing past us during a walk at night, with a intoxicating fragrance rushing towards her. As a result, you feel indescribably relaxed and serene. If this feeling occurs in a lover, it will become a sexual pleasure and pleasure, which undoubtedly has a certain promoting effect on love. A young man once described a feeling: in a dark alley without streetlights, a person hurried past me, and I couldn't see her (his) face clearly, and I didn't know if it was a man or a woman? However, I felt the warmth and fragrance that only women have, which made me ecstatic. So, a beautiful girl image immediately appeared in my mind, and I had a desire to have sex... It can be seen that the sense of smell can ignite such a strong desire.
However, bad odors can also become obstacles to love, and there are many people who blow it off due to bad breath and body odor. Some cosmetics manufacturers and advertisers have written extensively based on this psychology. If the bad smell is severe, it can also affect the quality of sexual life of couples, and even inhibit the production of sexual desire. There was once a Chinese young man who married a foreign teacher. Shortly after the marriage, the young man filed for divorce because the other person's strong body odor prevented him from developing sexual desire and therefore unable to engage in sexual activity.
The preferences for body odor vary among different eras, races, and individuals. People in civilized society like to use perfume and perfume powder to cover up the natural physiological smell on the body; However, some backward individuals who do not develop their ethnic groups intentionally enhance their original taste and make themselves more animalistic and fleshy. Some people prefer elegance and lightness, while others prefer richness and intensity. Some even enjoy body odor and derive sexual satisfaction from it. Some scholars refer to it as olfactory love. Nowadays, European and American men and women pursue a musk scent that is similar to the human body odor, but more intense. They believe that this scent is full of sexual elements and can greatly increase their sexual desire.
Although our sense of smell has degenerated compared to our ancestors, body odor, as a sexual temptation, still has a considerable power. Therefore, lovers should understand each other's preferences for the scent, and then cater to each other's preferences to promote the development of love. However, it should be noted that the odor of the human body should not be too excessive, especially for males.
