Movies Put Us in the Mood
27-Jul-2004
A typical date involves going to a movie, and this isn't a bad idea, since scientists say watching a film can increase hormone levels—but to get the right hormones, you have to pick the right movie.
Some hormones make people aggressive, while others, like the hormone progesterone, make us feel romantic. Watching "The Bridges of Madison County" caused progesterone levels to rise by more than 10% percent in both men and women. However, the film also caused men's testosterone levels to fall. High testosterone makes men to feel sexy and helps them perform.
Watching "The Godfather Part II" caused men's testosterone levels to soar by 30%. However, watching a documentary about the Amazon rain forest didn't change the hormones of either men or women.
Psychologist Oliver Schultheiss says, "When you're watching movies, your hormones are responding, not just your mind. If you want to learn about someone’s personality, look at their video collection."
How to get the date you want? Learn how to get lucky! Believe it or not, it's a science.
