Let's face it, there is nothing good about crying. Sure, you can have tears of joy but it seems most often in life, crying is started by a feeling of sadness, rage, betrayal or some other unpleasant emotion. Its really a mood killer. That may be the idea.
Everyone cries, but not all animals cry tears of emotion. Tears of physical pain or if something is irritating their eye, but not of emotion. Researchers found that men who smelled the tears of emotion cried by women, their feeling of lust was reduced. The tears were compared to a salt and water mix that had been dribbled down a woman's face. The results were found in the testosterone levels on men who smelled the tears (the levels dropped) the brain scans of the men, their skin responses and the reports of their feelings of lust.
The tears did not increase the mens feelings of empathy or mood, but seemed to purely effect their libido, which surprised the scientists. While the scientists do not yet understand why tears are like a cold shower to men, they agreed that the tears clearly reduced sexual interest. After watching the extra sexy version of the film "9 1/2 Weeks" men lay in an M.R.I. machine to measure their arousal. The men then watched a sad movie. While all of the men reported feeling sad after seeing the movie, only the real tear smellers felt a reduction in sex drive. Thats right, men can feel sad and still want to have sex.
The researchers advised women to not cry to try and turn off their husbands or boyfriends. Saying "no" is still better.
