(NaturalNews) The smell of pumpkin may produce sexual arousal in men, according to a study conducted by researchers from the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation of Chicago.
"Throw away the perfume and go get some pumpkin pie," said foundation director Alan Hirsch.
Researchers had 31 men between the ages of 18 and 64 breathe through various masks, which either exposed them to odorless or fragrant air. The researchers tested 24 different fragrances while measuring the men's sexual arousal-related blood flow with a device called a plethysmograph.
The researchers found that pumpkin and lavender was the most stimulating fragrance combination, producing an arousal response in 40 percent of men. Pumpkin mixed with donuts produced a response in 20 percent of men. The smell of vanilla was also popular, as was the smell of cinnamon buns. Strawberry was especially effective at producing arousal in men who self-reported having a satisfying sex life.
