Male Sweat Makes Women Happy
guacamolefoo writes "CNN reports a study by the University of Pennsylvania that involved applying to the upper lips of women a solution containing underarm sweat from men who had not used deodorant in four weeks. It apparently elevated their moods and increased their fertility. Use this knowledge at your own risk."
Other male fluids do this as well.
a solution containing underarm sweat from men who had not used deodorant in four weeks.
This solution, if it came from my body, would rednder women unconcious, if it didn't kill them straight up. Even after one day my body odour is so powerful, the American militrary would declare it a weapon of mass destruction. Even thinking of the smell of my unwashed armpit after four week makes me woosy. What are these people thinking?

And on any part of their face, too.

Linux isn't dying. Just don't pirate. Damnit. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Pay for your media like everyone used to do. People using file sharing and ripping off software are ruining it for ALL of us. Including us linux users.
Speak for yourself.
oh definitely.
I never knew women could have an orgasm simply by having someone ejaculate on their face.
however, i've noticed that the women i've dated usually make a face like i just asked them do drink ocean water mixed with raw eggs. they obviously were frigid or had emotional problems, which is why i didn't mind them cheating on me or dumping me.
see, porn is highly educational! now, if i can just find a bitch who likes to wear dog collars...
Is that it has to do with pheremone's present in sweat. I'll assume they used underarm sweat as we have a lot of sweat glands there.

You're dating the wrong women. Most of the girls I know actually like swallowing cum. Maybe you don't like girls who like to swallow. Hae you considered that?
common sense implies the sweat samples were provided by men who are computer geeks - just ask yourself "what class of society wouldn't shower for a month?"
additionally - lisa simpson has taught us that the sweat of geeks sets off some nerve in bullies.
conclusion - the women in this study were not bullies. which is good for us men - it means there are women out there who beat the sh*t out of us before we say hi.
I thought everyone knew that?

...that the reported effect is real (the sample size of the experiment was ridiculously small), it would be interesting to see if the reverse situation would have a similarly involuntary and detectable effect in males. Also it might be interesting to do a double blind test to examine any biological origin of homosexuality since the presence or absence of sweat in a sample would be (consciously) undetectable(or presumably easily masked judging by the article) by the subject.

Well, now I finally know how my buddy Adam Snider got laid!
Here is a one page fact sheet on human pheromones from a bio class at UIUC. As you can see, this is not exactly news.
There's probably a pethora of inter-personal hormonal effects such as this.
"if the active agent in male perspiration could be isolated."
This _may_ be a media misquote.
The active ingredient they're talking about is probably Pheromones; the language of smells we also use, certainly for sex.
However what they may mean is that there is something else other than Pheromones in it.
Washing quietens the dialogue between people via smells making society a stonger influence over who's having sex than the individual?
Next time you get a hot flush notice the feeling under your arms - that's your body going for it.
Right, where's that pussy juice, I need me a pick-me-up.

The study says there is no evidence for sexual arousal, but that this could be because the tests were done in a sterile enviroment. Biologically, however, the primary function of pheromones is sexual communication. Here is an article on pheromones in humans and animals. Relevant portion:
I don't know if the Napoleon story is an urban legend and if it is related to the myth that Frenchwomen don't wash.wow....no need for further reseach here!
--meh--
I wish they had a more complete pointer to the study, it sounds deeply flawed, like they're just trolling for an interesting sound bite.
Where's the comparison with women's sweat, dog's sweat, floor wax, nothing? I don't here any mention of a control group, etc. I bet sitting most women down in a sterile environment for 10 minutes would elevate their moods without smearing anything on there noses.
This strike me as a very weak experiment, scientifically, with more vague and ill-formed conclusions drawn from there because it deals with sex.
I hope the actual study proves me wrong, but it sound like overblown crap to me, and if it is, the "researchers" should never be given public money again.
I can't even begin to record here all the things this combination brings to mind...
I have been to linux conferences where the collective BO was peeling the paint off the walls. I didn't see a single booth bunny who was happy.

"... Procter & Gamble has announce it's newest line of exclusive deodorant products geared at the female audience. The company claims that by marely applying small doses of the fragrance to the upper lips, women will generally experience hightened moods and feel less tense. Further, women may also expect a rise in levels of the reproductive luteinizing hormone that typically surge before ovulation... " (from unknown sources).
Hmmm... bastards, sounds like some companies are already cashin in on the new technology, eh?

There was no sign women were sexually aroused by male perspiration.
And that's how stinky men get laid.

I was surprised to read this CNN article from a team at Penn who have apparently done nothing more than to reproduce a set of experiments that were carried out in 1987 by Martha McClintock's group (http://cns.bsd.uchicago.edu/faculty/mMcClintock.h tml) at the University of Chicago. You can read the gist of their experiments in a Newsweek article dated 1/12/87 (http://www.athenainstitute.com/mediaarticles/news week.html)
Than to see a man sweating his ass off to try make her happy.
I should say right now my experience has been 100% identical. I haven't worn deodorant in years; my current girlfreind and previous ones have never said "you stink" and a couple have even said they like my smell. One was a fanatic for it -- but she was peculiar ;)
But you left out the one, singularly most important aspect -- diet. You MUST eat properly if you're going to stop using deodorant.
Stop eatinng fast food.
Stop eating processed food.
Stop drinking soda, drink more tea.
Eat fresh veggies, lean meats. Etc etc.
You'll find that along with smelling like a clean human being (which is, if you think about it, better than smelling like chemicals), if you're overweight -- you soon won't be. I dropped 20 pounds in a year. I've kept it off too. Amazingly, the effect of clean lifestyle is enough that I don't even need deodorant after riding my bike to work or going to the gym.
It's amazing what good can come of the most obvious changes in habits.

Extremely funny comment, admit it!
Roman gladiators would scrape the sweat off themselves and women would buy bottles of it.
And I suppose you've polled female dogs and have empirical evidence that proves they like collars?
my dog screams like a bitch (no pun intended) whenever I put a collar on him.
Maybe they're just not that easy to find. I imagine the demand for these women is high, and supply is probably pretty low.
The funny thing is all this mention of pheromones but humans have a lousy sense of smell.

It did have an effect on Napoleon. Before returning from battle, he wrote to his wife Joséphine with a famous request:
