There is another suggestion on how important smell is, though it is only a theory.

Animals use smell as a form of attraction and this is thought to happen in humans as where in the form of pheromones the sense of smell forms part of a person's ability to be attracted to somebody else. Whether or not this hinders people with with KS finding compatible partners is another matter.

The lack of sense of smell is probably the least serious symptom of KS but can be the most easily noticed.

this is an excellent video

well spoken and informative

i will be tuned in in2010

the only thing i must point out though is about KS!!

klinefelters and kallmann syndromes share the same abbreviation,so for outsiders uninformed of each of our conditions they can get confused but with videos like this they are a huge plus for people understanding!

thanks

have a great christmas and enjoy 2010

I see your point, Because I can smell, I see how I take being able to might be taken for granted. After seeing your video I realize how important smell is in everyday life. This video was a real eye opener. Thank you :-)
