Please tell me this is not a serious request. Sexual attraction between
races is almost certainly conditioned socially. Subconsciously trying to
get melanin from another person? The colour doesn't rub off you know!
As for the "scientist" trying to replicate the smell of a black woman: I
wish him luck. Body odour varies much more directly with diet than with
just about anything else. He'll be lucky if he manages to replicate the
smell of a sweat sock.
I'm a European descended male and I don't find black females any more or
less attractive than anyone else. If anything, I'm attracted to Asian
types ... perhaps I have an unconscious desire to overcome my lack of
epicanthic folds?
I'm sorry, but the whole thing sounds pretty ludicrous to me. I wish you
the greatest of luck in finding the Journal article you are looking for.
Please send me the biblio when you find it!
All my incredibly NON-humble opinion, of course :-)
