Scientists Find Tears Are the Anti-Viagra
An anonymous reader writes "The male test subjects didn't know what they were smelling, they were just given little vials of clear liquid and told to sniff. But when those vials contained a woman's tears (collected while she watched a sad movie), the men rated pictures of women's faces as less sexually attractive, and their saliva contained less testosterone. Is this proof that humans make and respond to pheromones? The researcher behind the study doesn't use that controversial word, but he says his findings do prove that tears contain meaningful chemical messages."

Are you mad??? Asking people on slashdot to shower even less???
Pheremones don't have a noticable scent/odor... someone not showering AND failing to apply deodorant is gonna smell pretty awful, especially if it's for days.

Man, I love it when they cry. All 7 of em. You know. Here in my basement. Brb, moms calling.
This has nothing to do with whether a woman crying is a turn-off (yes, white-knights, we all know crying girls make you so so so so sad). This has to do with a vial of tear-juice impacting your judgement in how attractive women are. I guess this will be completely relevant when women start literally crying buckets. Until then, when do you actually come in contact with enough tears at one time that it could possibly effect you? I'm sure a vial full of ear-wax shoved right under my nose would repulse me, too, and the last thing I'd be thinking about is sex.
(assuming you leave your parent's basement on a regular basis)
But it's scary up there. Full of judgment, people that expect you to pay for things yourself, and an alarming shortage of freely available Hot Pockets.
John Boehner becomes speaker of the House and starts bawling right and left. Its all a part of the right wing's campaign against sex.

Yes, because we all die in the end. If it happens sooner then you're doing it wrong.
And if it happens later, then you're doing it even wronger.
Throughout most of human history, the man has been the gatekeeper to sexual activity, not the woman.
Having the man be the gatekeeper to sexual activity is about as good an idea as having the woman be the gatekeeper for the credit cards.
