Sex pheromone spray boosts
senior romance
A mystery chemical that young women deploy as a sex attractant
pheromone seems to work for post-menopausal women too.
Joan Friebely of Harvard University, US, and Susan Rako, a
private physician in Newton, Massachusetts, US, have studied 44
post-menopausal women. Half added Athena Pheromone 10:13, originally
isolated from a woman's armpit sweat, to their perfume while half
added a dummy compound. Neither the women nor the researchers knew
who was in each group until the results were in.
In diaries kept by the women for six weeks, 41% of pheromone
users reported more petting, kissing and affection with partners
compared with 14% receiving the placebo. Overall, 68% of pheromone
users reported increases in at least one of four "intimate
socio-sexual behaviours" such as formal dates and sex, as against
41% on the placebo.
But the pheromone's discoverer, biologist Winnifred Cutler, is
keeping its identity secret until patents have been granted to
Cutler's Athena Institute for Women's Wellness Research in Chester
Springs, Pennsylvania, US. "It's still a mystery substance being
applied to individuals at unknown concentrations," says George Preti
of the Monell Chemical Senses Centre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Friebely and Rako say they have no financial interest in the
product.
