from www.nydailynews.com – If something smells rotten in your relationship, it might not be his cologne.

Men with certain sexually-transmitted diseases may actually have an unpleasant scent, according to research published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

In fact, the women who participated in the small study described the aroma of a man infected with gonorrhea as “putrid,” according to MSNBC.

Researchers from the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Novosibirsk, Russia were testing the theory that if animals could use their sense of smell to choose an attractive and healthy mate, humans could too.

The scientists asked 34 men, ages 17 to 25 to participate in the study. Out of those selected, 16 were healthy, 13 had gonorrea and five had been previously diagnosed with the sexually transmitted infection but received medical treatment.

During the experiment, all of the men wore t-shirts with cotton pads in the armpits. After the pads had been suitably soaked, the researchers stored the samples and asked the women to smell and judge.

While the women found over a third of the samples to be aromatically off-putting, they judged nearly half of the infected men’s sweat to be foul-smelling.

The sweat of the healthy men rated nearly twice as high on the researcher’s ‘pleasantness’ scale.

The study did not address whether women infected with the STD gave off a similarly unpleasant smell.

“Our research revealed that infection disease reduces odor attractiveness in humans,” concluded Mikhail Moshkin,professor at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Novosibirsk, Russia, and the lead study author. “We can conclude that unpleasant body odor of infected persons can reduce the probability of a dangerous partnership.”
