There is an inextricable connection between smell, emotion, and sexual attraction. According to a recent report by the New York Times, a new study shows that the scent that arouses people's desire is not flowers or high-end chocolate, but the aroma of licorice, cucumber, and talcum powder. At the same time, researchers caution that the fragrant, rich cherry aroma can significantly reduce a woman's sexuality, making it a typical "spoiled food".
Professor Hertz, director of the Smell and Taste Research Foundation in Chicago, USA, introduced that he has found that the smell emitted by any food can more or less "induce" a man's sexual desire, and some of these foods have a dramatic and powerful effect. For example, the aroma of pizza or bread coated with cheese can increase penis blood flow by 5%; Cream popcorn can increase blood flow by 9%; The aroma of lavender and cucumber can increase penis blood flow by 40%.
Unlike men, not every food smell can stimulate a woman's sexual desire, and some flavors can even reduce her desire, such as the strong flavors of cherries and grilled meat. "Interestingly, men like to smell women's perfume, but women can't accept men's perfume, which will reduce the blood flow to the vagina," Hertz said.
Hertz explained that the association between sexual desire and smell often stems from people's memories. "Odor is an exogenous stimulus that reaches directly to the core of the brain, which is the center of sexual stimulation. Different odors can associate different scenes, such as the aroma of a bagel, which is associated with comfort and comfort."
