    Uuh that’s a very difficult thing.

    It’s like wearing agressive perfume full of hormomes. It might cause somebody to get an erection but it’s still hella uncomfortable and annoying. Not really consensual and i see why it pisses people off.

        People will spend a lot of money if a marketer lies to them enough. It should be noted that scientists don’t recognize any human-arousal pheromones. Only shady websites that wanna sell you overpriced perfume.

        yeah it actually did happen to me irl some years ago when we were on a field trip and a girl who had already flirted with me for the past two days suddenly wore a perfume and i think it was that that made it really difficult for me to stay clear-minded. could have also been the flirting though, i’m not sure actually.

        Yeah, that’s really weird. I’ve never heard of this. But I guess if you just make an association in you brain, then it can be a turn on.

        Right here. Maybe not full blown blue steel, but I get chubby if a woman’s smell hits me right.
