Tears Are a Turn-Off for Men

Summary- Crying women literally turn-off men because women have a pheromone in their tears that turn-off men. The experiment suggest that women's emotional tears contain a chemosignal that reduces sexual arousal in men. The reason why people, but not other animals, cry at sad thoughts or events remain a mystery. In a study there was a group of men ages 23- 30, sniff a jar of tears collected from women as they watched sad film clips or drops a salt solution that had been trickled down the same women's face. Fifty men who had smelt the tears showed physiological signs of reduced sexual arousal.

Opinion- I think it's really wierd since tears are odorless. I wonder if it would have the same affect if children smelt the tears of each other. I wonder what would happen if women had to smell tears of a baby. I wonder what would happen if men smelt the tears of childern. I wonder if it would have the same affect if women smelt men tears.
