Sexy Scents

You may not know it, but scent is tied to arousal in both men and women.

Food and scents are among the strongest ways to arouse a person, whether they are male or female.

People respond strongly to scent, even though the human sense of smell is not that well developed.

Of course, men and women respond differently to a variety of scents, but there are some scents that seem to be universal arousals.

Men respond in sexual arousal the most to the scents of cinnamon, pumpkin pie, buttered popcorn and cheese pizza. They also like the scent of women?s perfume, licorice, vanilla and cola.

While most men would never admit it publicly, the scent of lavender is also a turn-on. Interestingly enough, men who are very happy and satisfied with their sex lives get really turned on by the scent of strawberries.

Women, however are different when it comes to what scents arouse them sexually. While there are pretty much no scents that decrease a man?s arousal level, there are a wide variety of scents that decrease a woman?s arousal level.

Women respond negatively to the scent of charcoal smoke, cherries and some women even get less turned on by the scent of men?s cologne.

What does this mean for you? Don?t take her to a barbeque, buy her a cherry snow cone or wear heavy cologne if you want her to be in the mood for sex. This is not true for every woman, but it does provide some interesting information about what turns a woman off.

It may even mean that you can forgo that expensive cologne if your lover acts less than impressed when you wear it. For scents that turn a woman on, you need to turn to a variety of different scents.

Women also respond to the scent of baked goods, in addition to pumpkin pie, they also prefer the smell of baking banana bread. They also like the smell of Good ?n? Plenty candy, which is somewhat fruity and the smell of baby powder. Really, the scent of baby powder arouses women.

Women also respond to the scent of lavender, as well. Women like things with a citrus scent, and also the scent of cucumbers. Who knew that fruit was such a turn-on for women?

So instead of spending money on expensive gifts that she may or may not like, think about buying things that appeal to her sense of smell. For instance, help her plant some lavender in her yard, or give her lavender scented bath toiletries.

Some lavender sachets to tuck in her drawers might be just the ticket to get her turned on and thinking of you when she reaches into her lingerie drawer. Learn how to make pumpkin pie or banana bread, and she might just start ripping your clothes off.

Sprinkle some baby powder in your bed and buy some candles that have a citrus smell. Knowing what scents turn her on can be your secret weapon when it comes to getting your lover all hot and bothered.
