Smell her armpits; you might like it

It is something that Indian men have known for centuries and so did men in many other parts of the world, specifically South Asia and the Middle East. A woman's sweat is not something to be offended by. In fact a man should seek the smell of a woman's sweat. In other words, all those women who have been using antiperspirants, deodorants, and perfumes were essentially masking their natural odors, and in the process, keeping men away.

Recent research conducted by Joan Friebely of Harvard University and Susan Rako, a doctor from Newton, Massachusetts (USA), has shown that women who used a perfume made from the chemicals extracted from the sweat from a woman's armpits were far more successful in attracting men and in physical intimacy than other women who simply used a perfume. The chemical called Pheromone 10:13 will be patented soon. (Related: Underarm odor)

Scientists are still struggling with two questions: How can this product be manufactured commercially? And what does it mean for younger couples, since a young woman is likely to produce this pheromone in large amounts naturally?

We will let scientists and manufacturing experts deal with the first question but we did some research of our own and here are a few tips for couples:

• When a woman is likely to be around her man, there is no need for deodorants or antiperspirants. Men should also try to get used to the smell. While it might seem a bit uncomfortable in the beginning, you will get used to it, several readers of ours in India tell us.
• Women can also make extra effort to sweat a little bit when they want to attract a man. Tips include mild exercise, being in a hot place for a while, and wearing a blouse/top with sleeves that are skintight in the armpits. (Related article: How to lighten dark underarms/armpits?)
• While there is no need to ignore personal hygiene and socially accepted standards, unshaved armpits typically produce more sweat and smell. (Related article: Hair removal tips for underarms/armpits)

But what about mature women who want to try this pheromone now rather than wait for a manufacturing expert to figure out how to artificially make this chemical? A reader from India tells us: ask a younger friend to help you. Disgusting as it might sound to some, many aphrodisiacs, pheromones, perfumes, personal care products, cosmetics, etc. are made from fluids and body parts that you really don't want to know much about their origins. So if you have the guts and a willing friend, borrow some sweat from her.
