My name is Linda Lee Ryan and I am the CEO and Founder of The Sense of Smell Lab, a world leader in pioneering products that use our sense of smell for enhancing moods and influencing behavior. So what does our sense of smell have to do with our sexuality? More than you may think! Our sense of smell contributes enormously to the quality and enjoyment of our lives and well being. The use of aromas and fragrances at feasts and celebrations, in temples and churches, for religious ceremonies and for the promotion of love, health and wellness goes back as far as recorded history. Recent medical research into the power of our olfactory sense to trigger memories, enhance moods and improve health and wellness is giving our sense of smell a whole new attitude. Aromatherapy, deemed a fringe therapy 30 years ago, is now a mainstream healing technique that focuses on the application and inhalation of essential oils for the purpose of affecting a person’s mood and health. For the past seven years, The SOS Lab been developing technologies that change the way people experience the power and pleasures of aromas, scents and fragrances. Using our innovative non trans-dermal aroma patch and the sleek, personalized aroma-pod, we deliver aromas directly to the nose of the user without dispersing them into the environment . This allows for the discreet enjoyment of Low Libido? One Woman’s Perspective 3 0 D ay s to a Se x i er Yo u ! aromas that is personal, convenient and non-intrusive. One area of our research that I find particularly exciting is how aromas can assist with female sexual health, and especially women suffering from low libido. Did you know that your sense of smell plays a key role in our sexual function? It’s true. The sense of smell is the only part of our brain that is directly exposed to the outside world. Your nose, in other words, is a direct pathway into the brain. Since the moment of birth, your olfactory organ has been the seat of your emotions, your creativity and your memory. We know that odors and subliminal scents influence how animals mate, bond and nurture their offspring. Humans are no exception. Our sense of smell plays a key role in mating as well as the cycles controlled by the sexual hormones, such as puberty, menstruation, our fluctuating moods and menopause. The powerful effect of smell on our emotions has until recently been largely ignored by the medical community. However, recent studies confirm that certain smells have a powerful effect on our moods and can be used to influence behavior. It’s no wonder that aromas, fragrances and scents have been used for thousands of years in the art of seduction and love making. All women know that sexual desire starts with our emotions. Isn’t that where the attention should be? Contrary to popular belief, our most important sex organ is not what’s engaged between the sheets, it’s our brain. The brain programs our sexual function, our reproductive behavior and our sex drive. Most articles and advice columns dwell on the mechanics of physical sex. Seldom is there attention paid to the most important aspect of female response—sexual desire. It’s about your mood. If you’re not in the mood, getting your body to respond sexual is not an easy task. Our most powerful feelings are triggered when the emotional centers of the brain are activated by the stimulation of hundreds of different types of smell receptors. Most importantly, since the sense of smell directly influences the brain without having to go through the bloodstream, it provides a healthy alternative for women who are increasingly concerned about the devastating side effects of drugs. A loss of sexual desire is becoming an increasing concern for many women especially as they age. The intimacy and pleasure that comes from a healthy, satisfying sex life are essential feelings of a loving relationship. The desire to express your unique sexuality into your relationship builds the comfort, security and satisfaction inherent in a healthy sex life. So when your desire for sexual closeness wanes—or disappeared completely—it can become very distressing and even unhealthy. Every one’s sex drive changes over time, it’s only natural. A change in your libido is completely normal and is triggered by many factors including relationship issues, social factors, religious beliefs, work and family stress and your lifestyle choices. Physical conditions, such pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, medical conditions and the use of prescription drugs also play a role in your level of sexual response. Our celebrity-obsessed media has us believing that it’s all about how you look and what you wear. We know that not true but insecurities about our self image starts the destructive self talk and the inevitable comparisons. Unfortunately, we tend judge ourselves harshly and compromise our feelings, letting our most intimate part slip away. If you’re dealing with the problem associated with low libido, you are not alone. Many women are frustrated with the lack of intimacy in their relationship. What they long for is a return to the days when the feelings were unbridled and there was a thrill in holding hands, caressing warm skin and there was always time to make love. Low libido may be a problem but it’s NOT adisease. Most often, it’s a state of mind. Studies on female sexuality suggest that over 40% of women suffer from some form of female sexual dysfunction disorder (FSDD). However, I caution you not to give such statistics too much of your attention. The basis for FSDD is based on shaky criteria since no one has been able to define what the benchmark of sexual desire in women actually is. Sexual desire is a personal experience which cannot be quantified by scientific measuring. Unless you have a physical reason for a low libido, the important thing to remember is that low libido is often a temporary situation, not your future experience. Don’t be fooled into believing you have a disease or a disorder and that swallowing ‘instant fix’ pills will provide you with the solution. All women know that our sexual response is a delicate interplay of body, mind, emotions and spirit. Quite often a slight adjustment is all that needed for balance to be restored. The loss of sexual intimacy in a relationship can have a devastating effect on your health, well being and happiness.
