Chemical signal affecting men’s sexual arousal found in human tears by Weizmann Institute scientists.

Seeing another person - whether it be a woman or child - crying is enough to cause many men to become emotionally upset. But researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot have now discovered that chemical signals found in a woman’s tears reduce sexual arousal in men when the odorless liquid is sniffed.

Emotional crying is a universal, uniquely human behavior, but now it is clear that they have a chemical impact as well. In a paper published online on Thursday night in Science Express, the Rehovot scientists have demonstrated that some of these signals are chemically encoded in the tears themselves. Specifically, they found that merely sniffing a woman’s tears – even when the crying woman is not present -- reduces men’s evaluation of sex appeal and their arousal.
