However, Pheromone Parties aren’t as outrageous as they may appear. They are actually grounded in science. As reported by Time.com, pheromones are chemicals that are widely known to spark sexual attraction in mammals. Charles Wysocki, a behavioral neuroscientist at Philadelphia’s Monell Chemical Senses Center told The Daily, “Attraction to pheromones seems to be how many animals do it. Either way, it’s a good indication that you’re off to a good start.”

Moreover, CBS News reports that studies show that our sense of smell is used to avoid those whose genetics could yield feeble children. In fact, in a t-shirt experiment similar to Prays’ parties, Martha McClintock, founder of the University of Chicago’s Institute for Mind and Biology, found that participants were drawn to the scent of those whose genetics were different, but not drastically so, from their own. Such findings are the result of a set of human genes involved in the immune response that are intended to prevent inbreeding and maintain positive genetic adaptations.

The first Pheromone Party occurred in New York City in 2010 and was met with encouraging success. Of the 40 guests, 12 reportedly “hooked up” while 6 of these hookups evolved into long-term relationships. Guest Scott Thrift was happy with the unconventional dating experience: “I thought it was a wonderful way to meet people. It cuts through all of the fluff and gets straight to the point” (The Daily). Parties have also been held in Los Angeles (The Huffington Post).

Children can be conned out of inheritance after multiple marriages

BY CAROL ABAYA NEWJERSEYNEWSROOM.COM THE SANDWICH GENERATION Multiple marriages and blended families can mean children get cheated out of money and assets their parent(s) earned and had before the second or third marriage. At the 2012 senior citizens’ law day conference, Lawrence A. Friedman, Bridgewater elder law attorney, said elders need to protect their children of prior marriages from being disinherited. "Even if your spouse’s current will provides for your children, your spouse may change it after you pass away,” he said. In addition to protecting one's child, an appropriate will can minimize N.J. estate taxes, which kick in if assets are over $675,000. At the conference, Cathyanne Pisciotta from North Brunswick discussed guardianship which could be necessary if various legal documents are not signed. Pisciotta said that if a person does not have a durable power of attorney (for financial affairs) and a living will (for medical decisions), anyone else can seek guardianship of that person. An expensive court proceeding is mandatory. And she said, “If one person seeks guardianship, someone else can challenge the appointment. Another relative may seek to be appointed guardian because he/she wants the money and power.”
