Enhance Your Sex Life

We tend to take our sense of smell for granted, depending on more apparently significant senses such as sight and hearing. We feel sympathy for those who cannot see or hear but do we ever stop to consider how equally devastating it can be to lose our sense of smell.

Sex and the sense of smell

To me, sex and the sense of smell are like very much interlinked. Humans, like animals, produce odoriferous substances called pheromones from the apocrine glands that lie just beneath the skin, which are there to identify and attract the opposite sex (and in animals also to mark their territory). The apocrine glands are found around the breast, genital, anal and underarm areas and also on the soles of the feet. The pheromones bring about all kinds of physical changes, they mix with sweat and send messages around us, radiating in the air until others pick them up. Yet, most of the time we are totally oblivious to their influence!

Animals use their pheromones as a form of communication to send messages to each other, marking territory, telling others of their destination and sexual status. For animals, the purpose of pheromones lies in sexual attraction and ensures the survival of the species. In ancient times, primitive man used his sense of smell to much greater extent than we do nowadays. We see smell as a rather primitive function and most people rarely refer to it.

Yet research has shown that both men and women are responsive to each other’s pheromones (men produce a musky scent whereas women produce a much sweeter smell), and that a woman’s sensitivity to a man’s scent soars or plummets with the fluctuation of her sex hormones.

The study of the sense of smell is called osmology, from the Greek osma or ‘smell’. To me, a sharp, educated sense of smell is an incredibly valuable and pleasurable possession. It amplifies enjoyment and sensuality, extending desire and giving another dimension to love. This is, of course, well known to perfumers who are constantly asked to create perfumes that make people more attractive to others and even they depend on extracts from animal glands (or synthetic substances) to create the perfect sent.

Our sense of smell is engrained within us, our pleasures and our sexual desires. The nerves stimulated by different smells send messages to the brain and can unlock long-lost memories – for instance the scent of an aftershave can evoke the memory of a one-time lover. The memories all come back at once and still every detail can be conjured up after so many years. Essential oil can therefore add to this pleasure, enhancing desire, emotion and love. With oils we can create an impulse in thought process, which can help the level of desire suddenly becomes achievable. Although we are not exactly talking about a love potion, a certain aroma can help the coordination of thought processes between mind and body.

The following oils are all good used inhalations (add one drop to a bowel of bowling water), in the bath (use five drops under running water) or in massage oils.

Rose, clary sage, sandalwood, jasmine, rose, bois de rose and tuberose.
