Pumpkin pie smell stimulates arousal in men; scent is sexy aphrodisiac, says study The most bewitching scent to lure a man isn't Chanel No. 5. It's the sweet, spicy aroma of a traditional Thanksgiving dessert. 'Throw away the perfume and go get some pumpkin pie,' said Dr. Alan Hirsch, Director of Chicago's Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Center, told WBPF in West Palm Beach. The smell drives men wild with desire, the researchers say. Combine with the scent of lavender and you might have to reach for a bucket of cold water. Hirsch said that the heady combination increased penile blood flow by an average of 40% in participants. When cooking pumpkin pie, consider keeping the seeds. 'They are very rich in zinc,' Palm Beach Gardens Alternative medicine expert Dr. Ralph Monserrat told WBPF. 'There will be an increase in testosterone and that increase will also increase the sexual desire.' Interestingly, Hirsch found that pumpkin pie was just one of many scents that made men think of sex. The smell of vanilla was a popular stimulant. Men with satisfying sex lives responded strongly to the smell of strawberry. Don't expect the entire Thanksgiving dinner to bring out the beast in your man. The scent of cranberry only elicited a 2% increase in penile blood flow.

I was just thinking the same thing. I guess I'm rolling around in a bed of pumpkin seeds tonight.
