Scent 'restores youthful allure'  

A chemical can boost women's sexual attraction
A mystery chemical signal that young women give off appears to work
for post-menopausal women too.
A Harvard University researcher added the pheromone to the perfume of
older women and found it had a positive effect on their romantic
lives.

New Scientist magazine reports they had more dates or affection from
their partners if they used the treated scent rather than a dummy
version.

Other experts said they needed to know more about how the chemical
might work.

 It's still a mystery substance being applied to individuals at
unknown concentrations

George Preti, Monell Chemical Senses Centre, Pennsylvania  
Pheromones are natural scent signals which alter animal behaviour.

In the animal kingdom they are widely used to attract mates, but
controversy surrounds their effect on humans.

Joan Friebely, of Harvard University, and Susan Rako, a private doctor
in Newton, Massachusetts, studied 44 post-menopausal women.

Half were given perfume with added Athena Pheromone 10:13, originally
isolated from a woman's armpit sweat. The rest used untreated perfume.

The women were then asked to keep diaries for six weeks.

'Secret'

The study, also published in the Journal of Sex Behaviour, said 41% of
pheromone users reported more kissing and affection from their
partners, compared with 14% who had the dummy perfume

Can the phero-moans work thru phone lines? I can't seem to get my
unemployment check in time. I have called twice the women who disburse
the checks in this state without no avail.

Thanks for the advice. I am trying to get a job. But the wishyes
americans don't want stort and dark-faced people. I'm trying to make
myself look whiter, taller and brighter. Hope there are fear-moans for
that too.

Welcome to the big leagues.  Try making yourself smarter instead.  

And learning to speak and write the local language coherently is always a
plus.

I live near exit 144 Rt1. The language here is honking and hoky-poky.
It sounds like this:

It may be testosterone.

This material has been kicking around in one form or another for over
30 years.  Every 5 years or so somebody makes some press with a new
brushoff of the material.  Problems has been, will be, then, and now,
and always that experimental control of olfactory experiments are at
current, nearly impossible and have always been notoriously difficult.
Think, control for numbers of molecules of "mystery substance" per
cubic volume of air, adeqautely delivered and percieved by x-number of
receptors, blah blah blah   They've seemed to gotten it down (somewhat)
on some studies on flies.  My sense is that flies and humans do not
interact well on the romantic level, (although socially I'm not so
sure).  That said perhaps romantic/affectionate  interaction has to do
more with the wine consumed, clothing worn, words spoken, looks given,
place of meeting, type of music, furrniture sat on, time of day, day of
year.... but my guess is this finding won't even be a memory next
year..........But I saw it on the news!!!!!
