#6 It's not nice to fool with mother nature. I would not find it amiss for societies with falling populations to issue such a substance to young, fertile women; if an equivalent existed for males, likewise it should be given to young, virile men.
Because reproduction is essential to any society.
However, post-middle-aged people having sex with younger people should be limited to only those young people who *can't* reproduce for some reason or another. This could include those who are abhorred by the opposite sex, are sterile, suffer from genetic diseases or other disability making them incapable of having children. This is not as oppressive as it sounds: no one is denied anything except the use of special attractants to lure sex partners. Society should discourage the infertile from having sex with the fertile. Biologically, this also raises the point that women would prefer to have children from the "optimal" sperm donor. But only a few males have that special something, those traits, that the majority of women want in a sperm donor. So a substance of this kind helps women to have a larger pool of males from which to choose; and yet, it limits diversity in the long run, as most women will make similar choices. So one man will make 20 children, and a dozen other men will make none.

#7 " Society should discourage the infertile from having sex with the fertile "

Its nice to read comments like yours above moose.
What about " volunterily sterile " ( vasectomy )
people having sex with the fertile ?

#8 Um Gott es will, Barbara :-)

Should this become popular -- and I can't imagine otherwise, given how many are having voluntary plastic surgery nowadays -- I would expect two things:

1) Those older women in committed relationships to have much improved sex lives, and

2) Natural selection weeding out those men overly susceptible to this particular pheromone within two generations (as they go after the infertile/less fertile females).

Long term, this will just result in a slight alteration in the species. No biggie.

#9 Well I don't need them using that. I am attracted to ALL women. Gets me in to trouble too. This will just make it worse.

#11 Bill Clinton: in a society with a declining population, it is important that they develop policies that encourage reproduction. Some of these may seem "immoral" or "irresponsible", such as favoring the fertile over the infertile, and promulgating social acceptance of "reckless" reproduction. While it is generally agreed that it is preferable for a child is raised in economic abundance, it is *not* essential. It is an opinion. Children do not *need* $500 tennis shoes, video games, and to eat dinner at restaurants every night. If parents could raise two children modestly, or one child with "high havingness", it is better for society if they raise two. And ways must be found to encourage parents to have three or four or more children as the norm. Unfortunately, most of the people who use birth control the most, shouldn't, and this is a problem.

#14 The acid test:

Being sexually attracted to Janet Reno or Mad Halfbright. Now those two are armpit sweat personified.
