Ooo, That Smell!

Does anyone else smell something?

WASHINGTON, Feb 7 (Reuters Life!) - For women, apparently there's nothing like the smell of a man's sweat.

Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley said women who sniffed a chemical found in male sweat experienced elevated levels of an important hormone, along with higher sexual arousal, faster heart rate and other effects.


They said the study, published this week in the Journal of Neuroscience, represents the first direct evidence that people secrete a scent that influences the hormones of the opposite sex.

Normally, I would poo-poo some egghead's theories on perspiration, but on the off chance that they are right, I would like to invite Jessica Gower (below, from Blade: The Series) to our hockey game tonight. You know, just in case.
