Maxim Magazine http://www.maxim.com/ is best known for it's images of sexy hot women. In the back advertising section an advertiser Athena Institute http://www.athenainstitute.com/ seems to think that pairing a picture of a woman that looks like someone's mother is a great way to sell sex, I say you could not be further from the truth, and may creep many of us out to boot. The product is called Athena Pheromone 10x Athena
Institute Founded in 1986 by Dr. Winnifred Cutler,
she say "Let human pheromone power enhance your sex-appeal and increase the romance in your life," it also says "Raise the octane of your aftershave. Let pheromones power your sex-appeal."
That idea is all good and fine and for almost $100 bucks or $500 for a 10x six-pack http://www.athenainstitute.com/10x.html those desperate for some hot sex action might find the price well worth it. But ordering from someone that looks like a mother or grandmother is enough to kill my libido and make me feeling "dirty." Just look at some of these funny testimonials.
*Mike (FL ) " Hi Doc! This is your favorite customer down here in Florida. I would like 2 more vials (his 49th order) of the Athena 10X. No need to thank me. Are you kidding? I thank you for inventing the product. I am the one to do the thanking. Not a day goes by in my life that someone doesn't stop me to say how good I smell. How could I ever thank you enough?"
*Dan, M.D. (NE) "I am a family physician and have tried several different products advertised on the WEB as human pheromone based. Athena’s product has proven the most effective for me."
Who knows, I guess there are plenty of guys out there that hold mom as the ideal so perhaps this is not so off the mark after all; maybe Dr Cutler makes them feel all warm and fuzzy after page after page of hot half naked girls.
