So, this was a rather unusual aphrodisiac for women that I read about the other day, but nonetheless, I suppose it does make sense, figuring as how we humans are still pretty primitive when it comes to sexuality, whether we consciously recognize that or not.  Women were found to get in the mood, in other words, their libido was boosted, when they came into contact with the smells of a woman who was currently breastfeeding a child. 

Call it nature’s way to get women to want to copulate and carry the human race forward, but nature is always a lot trickier than we realize.  That’s why women always want sex more right before their periods, which is typically when they are ovulating and that means they are many times more likely to conceive a child if having unprotected sex with a  fertile guy.  Tricky mother nature!

The study, which must have been performed on the hunch of some scientists that may not have had much better to do, or were doing the study as part of a larger, more comprehensive study, worked like this.  They had women who were currently nursing young infants rub pads on their upper lips so as to collect their sweat (yeah, to absorb their sweat, kind of gross, I know), and when the women who were exposed to this expressed up to 50% more desire to have sex as opposed to the placebo group, they knew they were onto something. 

Scientists think it works, sneakily as usual, to make women more attracted to sex and intimacy at that moment because it triggers a signal to the brain that they are ready to have a baby.  So, see, mother nature has it all in the plans for us.  It’s almost impossible to not want children at some point, as we are all built to eventually get the natural instincts.  Works almost like a pheromone to attract women or something!
