Most people do not know why they do this, some say they do it unconsciously, while some say they like the remaining smell of their partner in bed or in the dressing room.
This behavior has led scientists to examine the phenomenon and try to answer the question of how the smell of a mate has a psychological effect on the body, especially on stress.
The findings have shown that the taste of a mate, even without physical presence, can be a powerful weapon in reducing stress.
The study recruited 96 heterosexual couples to test the effectiveness of the aromas in reducing stress.
The results showed that women who recognized the smell of their partner during and after the test were much more relaxed and with much lower levels of cortisol than women who made the wrong choice.
According to researchers, an explanation for such an indication can be given by evolution, since from ancient times women were afraid of the proximity of unknown men, so it is possible that this deviation has remained until today and that it is the promotion of the elevated cortisol.
In many cases, however, the aroma of a loved one is pleasant and contributes to a reduction in stress. Anyone who has not experienced such a thing must know that it costs nothing but help.
