Very informative blog post. I'm sure you noticed the part about A1. I attempted to follow the link for the study that is referenced but the study is paid. There are plenty of additional resources that confirm it and our community forum is one of them.

Love--or Something--Was in the Air
When women breathe in androstadienone, an often-odorless testosterone derivative in male sweat, they give men higher attractiveness ratings than they would otherwise. After about 15 minutes of exposure, the chemical makes a woman subtly more attentive, aroused--and even happier-- with effects continuing for up to an hour, finds a study led by Claire Wyart at the University of California at Berkeley. (In case you're wondering, men vary in their androstadienone levels--and, no, the chemical doesn't brainwash women into having sex or falling in love. It's much more subtle than that.)

We also have a new section dedicated just for news, research, journals, blog posts and the likes here: In The News. While its more about pheromone, olfaction and fragrance news I just thought I'd point it out. Maybe we need a subsection for sex, dating and things like that for the off-topic. I think articles like this add lots of value to the forum and I'd hate to see this get buried by some of the more silly things we post down here. What do you guys think?
