I've long thought that the link between PTSD and rape is olfactory. War
vets response triggered by smoke;<br>
women's response triggered by the natural scent of a man--or event
associated odors: alcohol, etc. The natural<br>
scent of a man can evoke chemical changes in reproductive hormone
levels, which would also affect personality.<br>
The association with natural masculine scent is most likely to alter
intimacy with a rape victim's loving spouse/lover.<br>
She will respond to him, unfortunately, as her traumatized body
responded to the rape. <br>
<br>
I wonder how much you've heard, read about the olfactory
connection--and how much validity you think<br>
there is to it.<br>
