Oh, it's probably worth noting that the limbic system also controls some aspects of behavior. So if the smell of smoke triggers fond memories it's perhaps not surprising that you're a smoker yourself.

I was destined to be a smoker. When I was a kid; I used to take click-pens apart so I could use one half as a fake cigarette. I'm from one of -if not the last - generation where smoking was still "cool". It was never a question of if I started smoking....but when.

Not sure if it's bad or not, but it's not surprising. The sense of smell is one of the most powerful memory triggers, especially when it comes to particularly emotional ones, because the element of the brain that processes smell is part of the limbic system, which also deals with memories and feelings.

I knew that.:cool:

..which is why I hope I never smell my ex-wife's favorite perfume ever again.
 
Bad smells... hmm.... eggs and onions. Mix the two together and saddle it up on a skunk and we have ourselves a winner.

Might be a bit tough to administer when you feel the need for a smoke. I was thinking something along the lines of sour milk and/or rotten eggs in a thermos. Just unscrew the top and take a few deep breaths every time you light up. Keep it sealed the rest of the time. :dunno:

Sucks how easily manipulated our brains are, huh?

Eeew! I can't do it. No way. I'd end up ditching the thermos and keeping the smokes.

Well, you could always have your guy administer the treatment for you! :D

Also, I just realize this thread has started discussing the human brain and behavior modification. Huh, it's pretty damned random in here, isn't it?

The thread really doesn't live up to its tag of (AMA), as far as I can tell there's really not as much asking going on as there is a general profusion of discussion. I feel like it's actually more civil in here than it is in most other sections of the board, go figure.

I like the randomness of it. Makes things interesting. Otherwise it'd just be everyone drooling over me day after day.

Well, I'm not the one who added the AMA, so that's ok. I mean if people want to ask me questions, that's totally fine, but that wasn't my original intention. It's Harley Heaven in here- interesting random topics, good vibes, and the occasional tits and ass.

Yeah, I'm aware that the powers that be went in and added this to all the OCSM discussion threads. As I had mentioned, this almost feels like its only miniature forum. People here are participating in intelligent (for the most part) genial conversation, polite debating, and yes, the occasional tits and ass. It's pleasant, it's constructive, and it has a sense of camaraderie that I feel is lacking from other topics or areas here.

Yeah, it's pretty relaxed in here. Methinks all the bad people got scared away! :D

Well, I'm still doing that in addition to all the randomness. :)

Gotta make for a strange read to any latecomers though. However, Elwood didn't seem to mind. :dunno:

There is nothing about that which I don't appreciate...
 
I also think the sense of smell doesn't deteriorate at the same rate as sight and hearing as one ages. I always wondered if that could also be part of the reason it can be so linked to memories. I also wonder if it being a relatively simple sense as far as sensory input goes has something to do with it. Visual memories don't hold up as well, baring having an eidetic memory, and it makes me wonder if it's because visual things have a lot of complex factors and multiple things that have to be remembered in a memory and as time goes on they get slightly off.
 
I think Elwood's happy because Maley isn't here turning this into a worship fest...

I'm sure we're ALL thankful for that! :D

...and I actually have something to say other than, "Oh you think I'm hot? Thanks hunny!"

And yup, I'm a lot of us (myself included) dig that too!

Of course a simple smell can trigger a more complex memory of much greater detail. Visual, auditory, tactile... a whiff of something can bring back some or all of those with startling clarity.

The human mind is a weird little lump of meat... (maybe weirder in my case than in most! :D)

I don't think I have many memories based on smell, most of mine are visual. There's only a few small scents that trigger a handful of memories. Like coffee, cigarettes, certain colognes and perfumes, food, wood, fire, pine trees... And even when I smell some of these things, it doesn't always bring back clear memories, just a familiarity.

Men tend to have more visually centric minds. You may have a male brain. how good is your driving?
 
You would be surprised what smells can bring back, though. Given the right situation. I recently encountered someone who had gone to church for the first time in forty years. The smell of the bread and the grape juice brought back a whole host of memories that he didn't even know he still had. It was amazing.
 
Re: The Official Harley Spencer Thread!

I'm auctioning off things I've worn and used in shoots on Ebay! Here's the link to my profile on there so you can view the items: http://myworld.ebay.com/harleyspencerproductions
I'm selling 10 items at a time!

Two examples, which I've attached here, of items I'm selling are the lingerie I wore in my Penthouse magazine spread and the black bra from a set I wore for my site.

Some of the items include a free one-month membership to my site!

WOW -- these pics are awesome!

I don't drive, so... it's terrible I guess.

Thanks. It's been a long time though so I've posted that and the ebay selling doesn't even apply anymore.
