I saw this silly article about Celery Juice making men more attractive to women.
After a few :dubious::dubious::dubious: I tried to find any scholarly articles I could on the subject. I couldn’t. My google-fu is weak, and I’d love a course on researching.
Also claimed by various websites is that eating a lot of celery will greatly increase the amount of semen you produce.
Is there any truths to these claims?
Don’t need reply fast! 
But others might need a reply fast! At least before the weekend… 
So anyone who knows the answer should respond with great celerity.
Hmm, celery and juice. Sounds like Bloody Mary.
They found the secret at last! :D:D:D
Here’s a (popular journalism) article that says celery has androstenene, which causes men to release androstenol, which is a pheromone.
There are no references to scholarly articles, and the doctor doesn’t say how he knew that.
Wikipedia’s article on androstenene says it’s a pheromone, but for mammals at large, and references a dead-tree book for a ‘weak’ claim that humans react to it.
Also lacking is the link that says that eating something with androstenene causes one to exude androstenol.
So it’s a definite maybe.
A definite maybe?!?! I’m absolutely positive that I might be sure!
Quick! Buy celery futures… and shares in Trojan!
When I was about 50 I noticed a slight decline in my libido. Just by coincidence it was a very hot day and I had loaded up on V8 juice which I know also has celery in it. That night my performance seemed like it was very much enhanced. I started using V* juice the way some guys use viagra. My buddy who is a medical Dr says I am full of shit and it is nothing but placebo affect but I have been doing it for special occassions for the past 15 years and it is unmistakable. I drink about 4 cans a day for 2 or 3 days prior to the special occassion and I am good to go all weekend. I haven’t noticed any extra attraction on the ladies part beyond being happy about the enhanced performance.
Great! Just a few dozen more anecdotes and we’ll have some data!
Anyway, I just did a cursory PubMed search for terms like “celery” and “hormones” and didn’t see any obvious links of interest.
I know - but I hadn’t been able to find any hard data on the subject either. And although certainly not reliable data, anecdotes do provide good places to begin LOOKING for data.
Well, I can certainly see how it would encourage the stalkers.
Maybe it’s a euphemism for money.
Oh, I see, they misheard. It’s “salary”, not “celery”.
Actually, it’s not that it makes women attracted to men. It only seems that way, due to the effects of celery on loose elastic.
Whoa momma! Nice!
Okay folks, no more talk, it’s time for science. I’m going to eat a bunch of celery tonight, and I need a dozen female dopers to smell my armpits tomorrow and tell me if it makes them horny. That’s science, right?
I’m pleased to see that rule 34 applies to celery.
I am probably the only human alive who likes celery for celery’s sake: if I come across a head of celery I will eat the whole thing.
I can confirm that celery does not attract women.
Yeah? I got your “hard data” right here.
Oh, let me assure you, there are far more direct applications of celery for Rule 34.
