You Smell Better During your Period!

sexThis is awesome! Women smell better when they are menstruating.

UT – Austin surveyed 52 men who were asked to test the scent of 18 worn t-shirts worn by women in various phases of their menstrual cycle. Almost all of the guys in the experiment, 1 guy was gay – so his doesn’t really count, found the shirts worn during the girl’s period to be the most enticing.

Sadly, this is when a woman is least fertile…therefore, least likely to get pregnant.

But, when Aunt Flow comes over to stay no one is really excited to jump into bed anyway…

So, other than all those religious fundementalists who think womens’ ovulation is dirty and unnatural, every other man thinks it is when we are at our sexiest.

The question is, how eager are WE to have sex during our period?

    This article says two different things: that the shirts smelled best worn during a girl’s period, and that they smelled best when a girl is ovulating. A female doesn’t ovulate during her period, and her period is not when she’s most fertile. Ovulation usually takes place about halfway through the menstrual cycle. I think this article is confusing a couple of facts about the menstrual cycle here.

    Who writes this shite?

    Talk about misinformation. And since when have religious fundementalists said ovulation is dirty, I thought they were the ones who say “procreation not recreation”, therefore ovulation is part of their manifesto isn’t it?

    Religious fanatics say that menstruation is firty, not ovulation. You can check the bible if you care to.

    lot has to do with who the girl is, i used to love my gf very much and did not care about when she had her period, now she is so moody i know she smells funky down there and just can’t stand it

    My boyfriend commented that I smelled really good and I happened to have my period at the time. He couldn’t get enough of me, he kept touching me and wanted to cuddle all day long! Interesting..

Weekly Wrap Up: Thank You, World

Thanksgiving is less than a week away. That means you’ve got six days to hit the gym and eat healthfully in an attempt to make up for the massive amounts of fat, sugar and tryptophan about to hit your bloodstream. (Unless you’re currently single, in which case you’re probably mainlining cake frosting at this very moment.) I’m getting sleepy just thinking about it.
