To get your partner in the mood, turn down the Barry White and feed her Good & Plenty. In a study by noted Chicago smell researcher Dr. Alan Hirsch, women exposed to the scent of licorice experienced a 13 percent increase in vaginal blood flow. That compares to a 14 percent reduction from the scent of barbecue smoke.

I experience at least a 13% increase in penile blood flow when exposed to the scent of a vagina.

You ARE a woman, right?

.. right?

Damn. There goes my idea for barbecue smoke scented body spray I was thinking about marketing. I guess my observations at NASCAR tail-gaiting parties gave me a false impression.

[krunkygirl]

Oh my gosh! You made me startle!

[mugs99]

Do we really need this here?

It was a scientific observation reported by Dr. Alan Hirsch. It is not as gory or sexual as the stuff you posted on the abortion thread.

As a man, I find that the scent of meat cooking over a wood or charcoal fire has a primal, irresistible effect. I am drawn to it like a moth to a flame.

If I am driving or riding, passing through a barbecue cloud is disorienting and causes me to pull off the road and locate the source. Mmm.

This meat/fire/good effect is on a cellular level and absolutely overwhelms any other thought or function. It must be satisfied.

OTOH, passing by a licorice stand seems to have no effect.

(Moment of Science: how do scientists measure vaginal blood flow? Was this a government grant?)

BBQ pheromone ping.

Here's another fine nugget of info from that sight .......

"If you're prone to foot fungus, put your socks on before your boxers. This will stop the shorts from touching your feet and transferring the rot to your groin.

[ExpatGator]

That was my thought exactly. What kinda poofter reads that crap?

[GraniteStateConservative]

And how did these researchers carry out this experiment exactly?

That's not as important as how can we sign up to help conduct the next one?

This is possibly the most insightful post I've ever seen anywhere. It reflects what we males do as far as helpfulness. But then, what do we ever rationally do as far as entertaining, pleasing women, and sex?

And how long will it take for this photo to get banned? And Me??

Women are turned off by barbecue smoke

I think what *really* turned them off wasn't the smoke, it was the fact that the guy looks like Lyle Lovett and has, shall we say, undersized equipment.

That's damn funny !!

The brokeback kind...

If you like that, you'll love the website I got it from: The Gallery of Regrettable Food.

[lilylangtree]

doesn't turn them off it just turns them on to eating which is a big no, no.

Next time you go to a disco , walk up to a babe , open a box of Good & Plenty , put the box under her nose , and say " Hey baby , wanna get it on ? " LMAO !

"Would like me to BBQ for you?"

I don't know about that statistic, but I dip my plastic fishing worms in anise oil (essence of licorice) when I'm done using the kitchen range to mold them.

All the operation does is get me kicked out of the kitchen... '-}
