Stupid. This whole thread is just dumb. There are no aphrodisiacs. Never have been - at least not in the sense of a substance that will overwhelm one's free will and compel them to copulate!
Are there smells that predispose a person to a particular mindset? Sure - think about the smell of your parent's house or walking the hallways of your old high school or university.
Realtors know to sprinkle just a pinch of cinnamon on stove burners just before showing a house.
The is a fair bit of research suggesting the smell of grapefruits or apples hastens the feeling of fullness while eating.
Yes the olfactory glands are very close to the brain. No it does not mean the limbic system just does whatever the nose tells it.
Even pheremones only predispose. Even then, the response of the test subject is almost totally unpredictable.
Sorry to be such a bitch about this, but too many men and women have been ripped off by unscruplous hucksters promising unlimited sexual success.
BTW - if there was such a powerful substance, and by exposing some woman to it, she would immediately want to have sex with me, regardless of her previous mindset, would that not be rape? Chemical coersion, just like Rohipnol.
