That (great) Hoffer & Osmond chapter about the indolic psychoactive effects of adrenochrome would explain why high stress states seem, or are, sub-clinical altered consciousness states. . .where things that are unreasonable seem completely doable. This would be good in a life-threatening situation such as being caught under rubble in an earthquake or arrested without cause in the middle of the night. Or different, & why on LCHF a person after a lifetime of desk work might plan to run 100 miles barefoot while eating peanut butter and water, for example. That's exaggerating, but not much. Ultra-endurance is interesting b/c it has a lot to teach about stress.
Now the Chemistry of Death & Desire is just icing on the puritanical washing machine. Especially when those redefined smutty french perfumes are over 300$ a bottle. I guess I'll have to settle for the moldering leaves scent from the hunting department at the big box store. Or actual moldering leaves in a jar on my kitchen counter that is now more like a chem lab. Or, well, the sex scent is free as long as you're in good health, no? Redefined? Or just admitting our connections on the front &, er, back ends of life?
Probably why so many people report changes in their sense of smell when they get healthier, not to mention that they report new & pleasant body odor.
Saving these great links.
