Women have the real ability of detecting the intention of a male by simply smelling him. That's what been stated by some leading U.S. researchers.
The certain procedures that allow women to be attracted to men have been subject of endless speculation. Now, if some prominent U.S. researchers are to be believed, the subject has a specific answer. According to these researchers, the women can really understand what is on the male mind while smelling the ‘man’s scent’. It has been pointed out by these researchers that women respond to a man’s sexual perspiration in a different way than they do while smelling his normal sweat.
The reporters of various news agencies had a chance to talk to Denise Chen, the assistant professor of psychology at Rice University, on the matter. According to Chen, the female brain starts encoding the smell of sexual sweat from men.
Chen and her associates studied natural human sexual sweat by utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging, better known as fMRI.
Later, while the women were provided such products, their brains responded in a completely different way while depending on what particular sweat they sniffed. The sexual sweat and not normal sweat, in this case, activated the right orbitofrontal cortex as well as the right fusiform cortex, as stated by the experts.
It should be noted that these are the brain areas that assist us recognizing emotions and perceive various things, respectively. Both these regions lie in the right hemisphere, as shown by various medical tests, that are involved in smell, social response as well as emotional matters.
