Mother's Milk Can Turn Women On!
Well, I never! McClintock and colleagues find chemosignal that encourages women's sexual desire. Not only can breast milk hold the secret of a 'cure all' in its molecular structure according to The 4 Life Company, but it also carries with it the properties of a strong aphrodisiac. An article in Times Online (UK) inspired by Professor Martha McClintock of The University of Chicago claims that women normally 'apathetic' about sex can have their sexual fantasies and desires significantly increased by sniffing sweat from a nursing mother. Could this be the new Viagra for women. Well, maybe.
Eardleyfactor is more interested in the explanation for this apparent phenomenon than the fact. Once again we are taken into the realms of evolutionary psychology for this explanation. We do have some issues with this one but their reasoning may well have some veracity.
Let's begin with some anecdotal evidence with which we are all familiar. So familiar in fact that it has been the butt of male jokes for ever and a day. What man has not observed that women flock to the bathroom in groups. Men don't. Ever tried getting an explanation for this group behavior? The answers vary. Some say it's for protection against over predatory men. Others will assert that it's to decide who takes whom home. Others will claim it is for 'girl talk'. The men are left to wait and wonder. Do women really know why they do it. Maybe not.
From personal observation one has noticed over the years that fertile women in my extended family tend to produce a rash of pregnancies. One follows another until five or six are 'expecting'. They call it 'feeling broody' just like chickens. There doesn't seem any explanation for it in an evolutionary context now in the 21st century but way back in the distant past this behavior must have helped the group survive.
Rather than signal that food was plentiful (men would not abstain from
sexual intercourse in times of drought or famine!) it would, in the view
of 'Eardleyfactor ' ensure that the men would all be home to hunt in groups
and be ever more ready to feed the new arrivals and also be on hand to
protect the new offspring. It's a question of safety in numbers.
The smell of breast milk would trigger the females into seeking sexual
activity at around the same time and as a group, which would naturally
lead to a large number of births taking place in a short space of time.
What one is seeing today is' residual behavior' on the part of females which was in the very distant past designed to promote the very survival of our species. Whether or not breast milk carries the ingredients to fix female' sexual indifference' remains to be seen. Time will tell!
