Fragrant stinkhorn The mushroom that leads to orgasm

An orgasm triggered by the scent of a fungus called "Phallus Indusiatus"? Naturopaths have long known about the miraculous effect of this Stinkmorchel. It is supposed to beguile women, to bring them into ecstasy and even to climax. Because this is very unusual and fascinating at the same time, researchers have taken up the cause. You have come to amazing results.

Spontaneous orgasm due to fungal odor
Mushrooms are primarily associated with delicious dishes. They are also used for other purposes. So some people consume psychedelic mushrooms to get intoxicated. There are also mushrooms as medicine. And then there's a very special mushroom, the "Phallus Indusiatus", also called Stinkmorchel. He is credited with an incredible impact. According to a report, women can get an orgasm if they smell it.

Ecstatic states
According to an article in the journal "International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms", the smell of stinking mollusks in women can cause ecstatic states and even spontaneous orgasms. According to the report, in a trial of 16 women, six of them experienced a spontaneous climax as they smelled of mushrooms growing in Hawaii. And in the other ten women, the smell is said to have caused physiological change, such as an increased heartbeat. The researchers wrote in the magazine of "significantly sexually exciting characteristics in the stink smell" of the fungus. The species contains substances that are similar to human neurotransmitters that are released in women during sex.

Men find the smell disgusting
However, the smell of the fungus does not have any sexual effects in men. They found him rather disgusting. It's not that unusual that smells are perceived differently. An international study has recently shown that sweat odor, which is usually perceived as unpleasant, can in certain circumstances make other people happy. And if the sweat is produced in a good mood, as the researchers reported back then.

But what does the local science say? Although it is true that the Stinkmorchel "exudes a very intense smell," says Professor Hanns Hatt, odor researcher at the Ruhr University Bochum, but he does not believe that "this can cause such a strong reaction". To prove that the subjects actually reached a climax, "a nuclear spin study should be undertaken that measures the responses in the brain." To a study with 26 participants is not representative.

The Jochen Steider sees things completely differently. As a naturopath, he has been working for a long time with the fragrances of mushrooms and plants. "Today, science knows that perfume stimulates the hypothalamus in the brain." It follows that it can also come to harmonizing and even stimulating states. Primitive peoples still use this form of intoxication today. "Eroticism also plays a role." He recommends trying it out for yourself. (ad, sb)
