I saw Arid recently on the shelf in some pharmacy department.

"sex perspiration" - oh my!

never heard of "sex perspiration" before...i guess it no longer exists? they cured it?

"it comes from bigger, more powerful glands..." that is just laugh inducing!

I love how the characters manage to look so cute despite the subject matter.

Hot Dan the Mustard Man, that is one floofy party dress. I wish my skirts were like that.

I just realized I"m going to laugh myself to tears every time someone uses the term Hot Dan the Mustard Man.

You don't see the commercials anymore, but Arrid's still around.

And when is perspiration during (or even in anticipation of) sex a bad thing? EVER?

It doesn't sound quite so sinister when you see the phrase in context- http://pzrservices.typepad.com/vintageadvertising/vintage_sexist_advertising/page/1/ will take you to the website, which is absolutely huge and has some amazing vintage adverts.

because she is the one with all that sex perspiration or the sweaty sex glands and he is just playing it cool.

[salenelle.livejournal.com]

right. it's about the only thing that we have going for us as far as animal magnetism goes; scrap the sexy scent and what do we have? Baby powder sex.

Especially when it involves bigger, more powerful glands.
