A study by professors in Japan has discovered a drug that can stop a man from being seduced and led astray by attractive women.
Professors
from the Waseda and Kyushu Universities wanted to test the
mind-altering affects of taking the antibiotic, minocycline.
They
simulated honey traps, using eight photos of attractive women, and got
98 male participants to rate how trustworthy they thought the women
would be.The men were split into two groups.
Group one was given a four-day oral treatment course of minocycline, and
a second, control group was given a placedo.
Men were asked to look at photos of attractive women and decide how
trustworthy they were, and how much money they would give them from a
set budget. The woman could then choose to share, or keep the cash
Looking at a picture showing a
female's face, male players were told to choose how much of 1300 yen
(around £8.58) they would give to each female.
If they chose to share the money, the amount would be tripled.
The men were then told that the females would get a choice of whether to share the money, or take it all.
The
males were also asked to evaluate how trustworthy they thought each
female was, as well as how physically attractive she was.
All
of the photographed females had actually decided, in advance, to
‘betray' the male players. Therefore, male participants played with
untrustworthy female partners, but were unaware of the deception
The results show that trusting
behaviour in male participants significantly increased in relation to
the perceived attractiveness of the female.
Men who took the Minocycline drug were less likely to trust attractive women and give them money
Yet, attractiveness did not impact trusting behaviour when the men in the study were given minocycline.
The study also found that the attractiveness of the females increased when the money element was introduced.
The study said: 'In movies, a female spy often wins the trust of her male target using her physical attractiveness.
WHAT IS MINOCYCLINE?
Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic used for the treatment of acne.
It is also used for other skin infections such as MRSA and Lyme disease, and can help with asthma symptoms.
Recent
tests have found that minocycline can also reduce symptoms associated
with mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and depression.
'The male target usually suspects
that she is a spy, but because of her attractiveness, he becomes
amorously entangled with the female spy despite concerns regarding her
trustworthiness.
'For
males, allocating valuable resources to physically attractive females
may be evolutionarily adaptive, in that it may increase the probability
of producing attractive offspring under natural selection.
However,
this tendency toward resource allocation to attractive females creates
‘noise’ that complicates decisions in short-term economic exchanges,
leading to the tendency to ‘honey trap’ males with this behaviour.'
