‘Love Spray’ Being Developed by Scientists

Who needs things like courting and seduction when you could just spray your dame or bloke and bring ‘em home for the night?

Okay, so it’s not quite that extreme, but I couldn’t help but be amused when I read this article.

“An international team is studying the brain chemistry responsible for the complex feelings that actually draw people to a particular member of the opposite sex as well as help in keeping humans monogamous.”

Does anyone else think this is a little…weird? Shouldn’t we be putting all our efforts to curing cancer or something?

It’s interesting, yes, but a ‘love spray’?

“”For one thing, drugs that manipulate brain systems at whim to enhance or diminish our love for another may not be far away,” team leader Prof Larry Young of Emory University in Georgia wrote in the ‘Nature’ journal.”

If someone tried to use some ‘love spray’ on me, I don’t think I could help but feel that things weren’t genuine. If I couldn’t fall in love with Mr. X naturally, then why would I want to artificially? As for the ‘keeping humans monogamous’ thing, well, if a man can’t handle being monogamous without the use of drugs then I’m certainly not going to be with him!

I’m not panning it completely. I can see it possibly being of assistance to couple who want to stay together (and have for many years) but they’re just not ‘feeling the flames of desire’ like they used to. Possible use there. But even so, there are other solutions for that as well.

BUT, I do know I’ve posted things while holding a certain opinion and had my opinions tweaked and changed by other’s viewpoints. What do you think? Would you use love spray?
