The Effects of Odors On Penile Blood Flow
From "The Effects of Odors On Penile Blood Flow," a study conducted by Dr.
Alan Hirsch of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in
Chicago. Male volunteers were given masks scented with various odors and
combinations of odors while researchers measured penile blood flow. Hirsch
states that the reserach will be used "not only to arouse sexual partners,
but also to treat impotence." As reprinted in the September 95 issue of
