Men fall in love with their eyes – women with their ears.

Due to the different hormonal system as well as other biological and psychological factors, women’s sexual desire differs from male desire. While men tend to get sexually aroused primarily in response to visual stimuli, women are more likely to respond to aural and olfactory stimulation (sounds and smell). Women are more responsive to pheromones, or bio-chemicals emitted by the human body which serve as sex attractants. That is why women are more likely to be aroused by their partner’s smell, particularly during their ovulation. In the words of Jennifer Aniston, “there is no sexier smell than that of the man you love.” So don’t go overboard on cologne and deodorant, as your woman is probably aroused by the natural smell of your body. Women are also more responsive to verbal than visual erotica-hence the popularity of the romance novels. This may be partly due to the fact that brain areas responsible for processing sounds and smells are more closely linked with areas interpreting sexual arousal in women. No wonder there is an expression that men fall in love with their eyes, while women with their ears.
