Love from the first…smell? Part I.
Many of us believe in love from the first sight, but not many people know, there is actually love from the first…smell! Although the ancient people considered it to be more reliable and stronger, than any other love. In the Russian language there was even a word combination “to smell together”, meaning finding a proper partner.
When we meet an unknown person, we try to remember and analyze his smell – of course subconsciously – and our brain finally gives us a command – “yes, this is a good person” or “no, I don’t like him”. Our eyes can only fix outside features, but smelling gives us a more detailed description of a person’s inner world. Several chemical laboratories have proved, that it is possible to find the one, you’ll love forever, with the help of smell. It occurs, that in a man’s nose there is a small device, something like “the second nose”. It is a small skin bad with the diameter of 3-4 mm, located deep in the nostril. Unlike the “first” nose, that reacts on all the scents, this device shows its reaction only to sexual attractants – pheromones, that produce our “sexual” scent. But for our “first” nose pheromones do not have any smell – except the smell of sex!
When our “second nose” smells pheromones, it gives an impulse to nerves, and then – to the brain, that analyses the smell and produces the result. If the result is positive, we say to ourselves “This is true love!”
Of course, such a research had to be supported experimentally. For example, in one airport scientists have spayed a female attractant on a chair. And men, led by their “second” noses, nearly rushed to this chair, though a lot of other spare chairs were available!
A related experiment was also held with the help of a male pheromone. The clothes of a plain, average man was sprayed on with a male attractant. When he and the group of handsome man went into the streets, women tended to ignore the attractive men and turned their attention to the boring, but sexually-smelling man.
