I must share my discovery of the existence of Boar-Mate, mentioned in one of the books I am editing. This is a commercially available hormone spray used to ease the artificial insemination of sows.
Naturally, I had to Google this, as I did when I learned of the indispensable product Poop Freeze. However, unlike Poop Freeze, I could find no retail site.
What I did find were several blogs by human men who have tried Boar-Mate, either out of curiosity or in the hopes of luring a mate. [Women: of course they did.]
Now, I may not have been your average bar-hopping party girl, but to my knowledge I've never been drawn to the scent of pig-funk.
I also read of something called the Bruce effect, in which a female mouse will spontaneously abort her litter in the prolonged proximity of a strange, unfamiliar male mouse.
All I could think was, poor Bruce, whoever he may be. No one will want to be around him now that an effect has been named after him...
