Reader Feedback on "Brut Force"
Rachel's book is well written and easy to understand, which also means that she can't cover everything. This does not discount the validity of her message. Those who are interested in reading a more technically correct published article on how our sense of smell influences sexual behavior may be interested in the following notice:
James V. Kohl has been selected to receive the Ira and Harriet Reiss Theory Award for 2007 from the Foundation for the Scientific Study of Sexuality. The award is given annually for the best social science article, chapter, or book published in the previous year in which theoretical explanations of human sexual attitudes and behaviors are developed. "The Mind's Eyes: Human Pheromones, Neuroscience, and Male Sexual Preferences" was published in the Journal of Psychology & Human Sexuality, 18(4): 313-369, and concurrently published as a book chapter in the "Handbook of the Evolution of Human Sexuality." In conjunction with the award, Kohl is an invited plenary session speaker at the annual meeting of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (SSSS) in November, 2007, which will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Oh, Catrinel.
I'm so incredibly pleased to have found you here, on such a great topic, and through Andrew Sullivan's website.
Now it's official: You're a journalist, and you're famous, and I envy the fuck out of you.

I have a little quandry that I'd like help with if anyone out there is interested in providing amateur or professional psycho-analysis.
This is a pattern with me whenever I'm single: I meet an attractive woman, french kiss the living daylights out of her, take her to bed (usually on the first date), and in a week's time, I can't stand the smell of her breath. What's going on? Anybody wanna help?

interesting information, but her hypothesis (it doesn't deserve to be elevated to a theory) doesn't hold any water at all: "So I think the reason women are having such a hard time conceiving these days is not just because they're [having children when they're] older, but also potentially because she met the guy while on the pill, or his cologne swept her off her feet, and by the time she got to really smell him it was too late because she was in love with him."
Uh, yeah, this totally ignores the fact that for hundreds of years -- and to this day in some societies -- arranged marriages were the most common thing. Nobody was smelling anybody! This woman ignores things like people marrying later, trying for children later, etc, all things which have been studied and documented, when she tires to answer this question (and it's not even clear if she's done any research on whether there even is a fertility problem -- all kinds of things get accepted as "common wisdom" that aren't necessarily true.)
