You come home after a long day of work to find dinner prepared and your partner sitting at the table with a sly grin. The meal is like none you’ve ever had.
First course: cheese pizza, warm and gooey but kinda bland. That’s followed by a bowl of buttered microwave popcorn. Revenge for something you said? Then, a weird dessert: pumpkin pie smothered with lavender ice cream.
“Honey,” you finally ask, “is everything okay?”
Pumpkin pie and lavender, and other food smells like doughnuts and licorice, don’t seem like the kinds of odors men would find sexually stimulating. Yet for several years, these allegedly potent odors have appeared in media stories about male aphrodisiacs, garnering wide-eyed looks and more than a few guffaws.
The odors from the above-mentioned foods were the most sexually tantalizing of those tested in a study carried out in the late 1990s by Dr. Alan R. Hirsch, who directs the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. Find out more mood foods.
