Video Description:You may think you pick your partner based on what your eyes tell you, but it could actually be your nose that's doing the selecting!Transcript:"Get a whiff of this: Your sense of smell may account for the majority of your sexual response. We have more than 1,000 olfactory genes in our DNA. Compare that to just 300 genes for photoreceptors in the eyes, and it’s little wonder that scent can ignite desire...or disgust. The human body produces pheromones, chemical signals that communicate reproductive quality to potential partners. These molecules are technically “odorless,” so reacting to them is a subconscious act. Pheromones may help explain why you find that “sooo not your type” specimen incredibly sexy! There is still some controversy as to just how much of a role pheromones play in attraction, so if you’re looking to surround yourself with scents to stimulate, studies have shown that men react most favorably to “home-baked” scents, like cinnamon buns and pumpkin pie. Meanwhile, women are aroused by baby powder, banana bread, and cucumbers! Who knew that attraction smelled so delicious?Category:Sex 101/Rules of AttractionTags:sex, sexy, sexual, sexhealthguru, guru, health, scent, attraction, pheromones, appeal, partners, men, women, girls, boys, girl, woman, type, delicious, video, smell, arousal, horny, aroused, perfume, response, reproductive, musk, aroma, sweet
