Sex appeal

If the sexual attraction did not conceal the mysteries we wanted to solve, then the world and half would not be so interesting. If our tastes were the same in all, then we would all be alike, and then at least half of us would have lost our time alone. Variety is exactly what beautifies our life.

The fact that we like other people, including people of the opposite sex, is not only due to our physical data. People are attracted not only by our appearance, but also by how we interact with the world around us - how we walk, how we communicate with other people, how we respond to their difficulties and vicissitudes. Our behavior is exactly what determines our attractiveness to a large extent.

The ability to love, devotion to a loved one, then, as we express our love, we all suck it with the mother's milk. Researchers argue that many of the qualities that are laid down in us from infancy, later determine how we choose our sexual partner. For example, the smell. For each of us, he is very special, different from others. This is our signature in chemical terms. Some people might like our smell, because it reminds them of their motherly affection or their love for their father, and to others it is unpleasant, because for them such a smell is a reminder of our former sexual partner whom they hate. Such associations accumulate in the mind of a person throughout life. We can remember the smell of a loved one for life, and associations with this smell - consciously or subconsciously - will influence the choice of a sexual partner in the future. Pro-

experiments in the USA show that a blind person can recognize his lover among others solely by smell in the same way as infants learn their mother. In the old age, people lose the ability to distinguish smells, and this affects their sexual activity. This suggests that the smell is of great importance for our sex life.

Thus, sexual attraction is an exclusively personal factor, and it is very difficult and even dangerous to talk about it in general. At the same time, we will take the liberty and identify several common factors that can characterize the sexual attractiveness of men and women in developed countries. But, again, we will have to make many exceptions and reservations.
