Menstrual cycle special. Oct 2013

Friday, October 25, 2013 Rob 4 Comments

This month, it’s a menstrual cycle special. We find out how changes in your hormone levels can influence your attitudes to kissing and dancing, make you flirt more, and even affect the psychology of your partner.

I've covered cyclic effects on mating psychology many, many times before on the podcast. If you want to hear more, click on the label for "human oestrus".

    Once I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a remark is added I get four emails with the identical comment. Is there any way you can take away me from that service? Thanks!

    James - Sorry to hear you're getting unwanted emails. But, as far as I know, there's nothing I can do. Blogger doesn't give me access to a list of people who have signed up for notifications - it's all automatic.

    Do you not get an option at the bottom of the email to unsubscribe? If not, all I can suggest is marking the emails as spam, and hopefully your email client will skip your inbox in future.
