This reminds me about the story that was in the WSJ last week, about sexual pheromones and sexual attraction. We’ve been hearing about it for years, but Rush pointed out something that I hadn’t thought about it when reading the article.
The article said that women were attracted to more traditionally masculine men during ovulation. Rush said that maybe this accounts for the rise of the metro-sexual male and feminism at the same time that the use of birth control pills became so wide spread.
No more ovulation, little attraction to strong masculine men.
Now, with new long lasting types of birth control, will desire shut down all together? It works both ways, men are more desirous of ovulating women, just as women are more attracted to the masculine men at that time.
On the general topic, there was an article here recently about how a lot of young 20-40 women in Japan were all of the sudden, in the wake of the quake and tsunami, looking for a man to marry. I guess they’re realizing it’s nice to have some muscle available if you need to get out of a wrecked building, nice to have someone permanently on your team, looking out for you.
“Rush said that maybe this accounts for the rise of the metro-sexual male and feminism at the same time that the use of birth control pills became so wide spread.”
Now that is interesting. It makes total sense. It will never be investigated!
