Sex Improves Your Sense of Smell
Did you know that having sex improves your sense of smell? After sex, there is a surge in the production of the hormone prolactin, which causes your brain’s stem cells to form new neurons in the olfactory bulb, also known as the brain’s smell center. Another fun fact? The preferred scent of your man might vary depending on where you live. That’s right ladies. Your geographical location may have something to do with the way you like your men to smell. Researchers broke down data from a study to determine female scent preferences across the nation. Check out which scents ranked most popular:
1. Vanilla (Chicago)
2. Coffee (East Coast)
3. Lavender (Los Angeles)
4. Fresh Air/Rain (Nation-wide!)
Who knew that our favorite manly musks differ from city to city? Don’t turn your noses up at this idea yet. Your man may not be the type to spritz on one of these scents but you can still get in the mood! If he is hesitant to switch up his usual cologne, start slow by lighting a candle with one of the above aromas. Remember, your sense of smell will be heightened for a more sensual experience.
