Are you ready for sexy time? Well, before you shower and pour on the cologne, you might want to think twice. According to a recent study the scent of male sweat has been linked to a rise in the female hormone, Cortisol. Women reported an elevated mood, higher sexual arousal and heart rate as well.
Does that mean that showers should be avoided? Absolutely not. But it is an interesting point to note and more studies are being done on the effect of androstadienne (a compound of male sweat) and the effect it has on women’s moods and states of arousal.
In order to turn a woman on, you need not use expensive body sprays because your sweat (the natural cologne) is sufficient to do that. This fact leaped out from a study, claimed to be the first of its kind, it was found that the level of hormone called, cortisol shot up within roughly 15 minutes and stayed elevated for up to an hour in women who smelled androstadienone, which is considered a male chemical signal. Interestingly, these women also reported improved mood, higher sexual arousal, and had increased blood pressure, heart rate and breathing.
This is the first time anyone has demonstrated that a change in women’s hormonal levels is induced by sniffing an identified compound of male sweat. We next need to look at other hormones that could explain the diversity of effects of androstadienone on sexual arousal and mood.
