What people are saying
Discussions reflect a strong collective interest in the chemical signals in tears, with examples such as references to the original study by Gelstein and how tears influence testosterone and emotional responses. Participants' tone varies from analytical to curious, emphasizing the scientific and social implications of the findings, indicating deep engagement and recognition of the research's importance.
Most discussions acknowledge the validity of the research, with several referencing specific studies and findings that support the chemosignal hypothesis.
Participants show high curiosity, referencing different studies, implications for behavior, and societal perceptions, indicating a strong engagement with the topic.
Posts delve into scientific details and personal reflections, demonstrating a moderate to high level of thoughtfulness and evaluation.
The discussions highlight the potential influence of this research on understanding human emotional communication and social behavior, suggesting a significant impact.
Abstract in brief
- Human tears contain chemosignals that can influence emotional and sexual responses in men.
- Sniffing tears from women, especially those related to negative emotions, decreases men's attraction to women's faces, their physiological arousal, and testosterone levels.
- Brain imaging shows that these tears specifically reduce activity in areas of the brain linked to sexual arousal in men.]

@DrAllyLouks social/sex pheromones in the way we observe in animals probably don’t exist in humans because we lack a vomeronasal organ, but it’s likely that chemosignals do exist & transmit info. best two examples: Wedekind “sweaty T-shirt” study, Gelstein “Human tears contain a chemosignal”

@IShantBelieveIt @UberFacts hi, psych major here. there’s actually been studies that have found men can subconsciously be “turned off” by a woman’s emotional tears (shown through fMRI). sincerely, https://t.co/2BIsTNzH9K.
@iamurikigai @AmmaarahHabib There was a study conducted on it a while back, I remember hearing about it. I had to search for the source but there's a few articles about it that you can read if you search it up Here's the original study (i think): https://t.co/A2SI6FL7JH
@Otagames @Arche_osu @tuCpakoa Et j'ai lu le titre de l'article, c'est "Human Tears Contain a Chemosignal" mais l'article est payant. Et c'est déjà mieux :) Donc en fait c'est probablement la presse, et le compte @tuCpakoa qui relaye une info biaisée et c'est dommage.
