\"In the Scent of Eros, scientists James Kohl and Robert Francoeur point out that modern hygiene and
underarm shaving have reduced the amount of pheromones trapped on a woman\'s body.\" (p. 49)
I was pleased to
see this note in Playboy suggest that there may be more to womanly appeal than just visual input/ pictures.
Nevertheless, I don\'t think it\'s a great idea to forget that modern hygeine also is involved in the
development of personal preferences. This means that others are very likely to consider your odor to be excessive
and therefore aversive if your natural odor is consciously perceived. How do you know when you \"stink?\" It\'s
unlikely that you will know until everyone around you finds your odor offensive, and someone finally tells you.
Meanwhile, it may not be a great idea to spread your legs and throw caution to the wind. (Why do you think opening
your legs in public is generally considered impolite/unacceptable?)
The most likely reason for cunnilingus is
that it \"puts the nose right into the center of a major pheromone factory.\"(p. 50) If you enjoy the attention,
you might want to keep the major pheromone factory localized. That\'s not to say you can\'t use SoE for women to
enhance your natural appeal. In The Scent of Eros we also mention that French prostitutes have been known to dab
their vaginal secretions behind their ears--wafting their wares, so that they might be more successful. Then again,
many westerners tend to associate the French with excessive odor. Perhaps SoE for women is a more acceptable
alternative for enhanced feminine appeal, especially in a more controlled (keep those legs crossed) social
environment.
