Cucumber smell can actually stimulate women's sexual desire

It is a consensus that smell can affect the intensity of sexual desire. Men often think that roses, chocolates or wine are the best weapons to make women fall in love, but scientists' research has proved that these things are useless except for enhancing the romantic atmosphere. The smells that can really stimulate women's sexual desire are the most common licorice, cucumber and baby powder.

Dr. Alan Hirsch of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, USA, came to the above conclusion after years of research .

He found that these three smells increased women's vaginal blood flow by about 13%, which means increased sexual arousal.

In addition, the sweet taste of pumpkin pie can also help stimulate female sexual desire, but the effect is not as strong as the above three. However, this is the smell that excites men the most.

On the contrary, Dr. Hirsch also found that cherries, charcoal-grilled barbecue and men's cologne will "short-circuit" the original sexual atmosphere because these smells can cause a significant decrease in blood flow to the female vagina.

Dr. Hirsch believes that smell can arouse sexual desire because the sense of smell is directly related to the septal nucleus in the brain, which is mainly responsible for controlling sexual arousal.

The taste itself can also stimulate the production of neurotransmitters in the brain. On the other hand, it could be pheromones that are at work. Pheromones are volatile trace chemicals produced by animals or plants, which people often ignore or cannot perceive at all. For example, ants communicate with their companions by secreting pheromones, and mammals also use pheromones to help their offspring learn to identify parents and enemies. Female college students living in the same dormitory will gradually experience synchronized menstruation, and pheromones play a key role in this. Therefore, it may be the pheromones contained in these different smells that secretly adjust the degree of sexual arousal in the human body.

It seems that if you want to make sex more passionate

In fact, there is no need for candlelight dinners and supplements. Just massaging cucumber slices behind the ears, or sprinkling some talcum powder and applying some licorice essence may be more effective than cologne, roses and chocolate.
