+ 2 Can Women Smell Testosterone? Scientific Evidence
This is something that is pretty much taken for granted by us guys, but apparently it's a metabolite of Testosterone, Androstadienone that is at play here.
The researchers exposed 21 subjects to 30 milligrams of androstadienone and to yeast, which is not in sweat but has a similar olfactory sensation. The participants took 20 sniffs of each in two separate trials. The researchers measured physiological vital signs like body temperature, skin conductance, ear pulse, blood pressure, respiratory function and cardiac rate throughout the experiment. They also measured mood and sexual arousal by checking the levels of cortisol, a hormone that has been associated with arousal and mood, in saliva samples.
The results: smelling the androstadienone increased positive mood, total physiological arousal and sexual arousal, which grew with longer exposure. The researchers also found a significant rise in cortisol levels from the sweat component, as compared with the yeast, beginning within 15 minutes of exposure and continuing for up to an hour.
Wyart notes it was particularly interesting that there was apparently no correlation between the intensity of the scent and magnitude of the effect. "It's something very intriguing about these molecules that you don't necessarily consciously smell the odor to actually [get] a response," she says. The study confirms that the sweat component affects hormone levels in women
Come to find out, Androstadienone is commonly sold in male fragrances to increase sexual attraction. Ha ha.
Here are some more links to studies for those who like such things...

In this study volunteers reacted more quickly in perceiving angry faces as a threat. This has been my experience that while women are more likely to be attracted, men are more likely to feel threatened.

very interesting.. In addition to celery, I've also heard fennell can help with pores and breath as well.. I haven't read anything definitive on it but I know I've heard it somewhere.
I've been rubbing TNE all over me this week and ain't caught nary a one. Whazzup wit dat?
;)
BigBmajThat stuff makes me stink. The solvent in it comes through my skin and scares the women away.
I think eating celery works tho. Seriously it has andro in it and it is known to increase the volume of ejaculate. I think it also moistens the vag when they smell it coming through my skin. Lots of women have been telling me these days that I make them wet, that's all I can come up with. :).
celery.. I'm gonna hit the grocery store ahaha
BigBmajShit works like a charm. I'm not a very good looking guy with a terrible personality, no sense of humor, and a very small penis to top it off. But the women are just throwing themselves at me. Who would have thought it was so simple?
i just burst out laughing reading that, funny shit man
lmao... seriously bro, don't be so hard on yourself. You can't be that bad..
BigBmajWell....ok I lied about the penis thing. And who cares about the rest really?
noob941yea they pick it up everyone does gothic7 wrote the addicted to aas post and spoke on geardar after only 5 months of use mostly cruisin trt dose, i have developed a geardar (NOHOMO) and i think its not just the erect posture and large shoulders fk (NOHOMO AGIN) that you pick up on but also the hormones secreted to mark ur dominance and territorial claim. I think gear is devolving us into a more primal creature where our baser instincts guide and direct us and i for one love it
Yes we can smell higher test levels And you can also smell tren as well... I can say test has an appealing scent to it... tren on the other hand smells like Elmer's glue... Both of these scents I am referring to when they are secreted through sweat.
ClassyChassisWow, Elmer's glue huh? That's interesting.... Well they do use a bull as a mascot. MOOOOO!!! (-:
tread-mDepends if you get it near there nose? Its hard to control it sometimes for me :/
"Sometimes"????? Try that again sweetie....
tread-mWell ok everytime ;) you're to blame you know?
ClassyChassisI don't know. It's not something that you can consciously smell even. It seems to be picked up subliminally. I would say that the more you are sweating, the farther away you can be and affect them because more will be secreted. I've had a couple of GFs that would "go crazy" when I was sweaty.
not sure about women but heres a true story and ive heard teh same from others - i have a female cat that would jump up on my lap and couldnt get enough of my attention - then when i started roids again - the cat looks at me like im a german sheperd or something - lol but she will barely let me even pet her and the change was simultanious with me taking test - go figure ?
My cat and dog (both females) won't leave me alone on cycle. They both have to sleep on me, they both are constantly licking me (even tho I hate that) so I am not sure it scares the animals.
ClassyChassisI'm not surprised. Substances secreted by animals and even insects that signal responses in other members of their species are called pheromones. This term is usually reserved for substances used to communicate between members of the same species. But just because inter-species communication hasn't been studied doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Animals pick up on lots of things in ways we don't understand.
Speaking of cats and pheromones, Sentry makes a "calming collar" that mimics the pheromone that a mother cat produces to calm and reassure her kittens. Ha ha. Maybe you should pick one up while you're on-cycle to help de-stress her. (-:
