This would make sense if we were lizards, but it turns out we're humans with agency. The way that you describe it, the only way men can control primal instincts of having orgies on the streets is to make everyone wear a burka.

Everyone likes looking attractive. Just because a guy works out doesn't means that he's ready for quickie in the bathroom.

We definitely are humans with agency. I use mine to mostly avoid women at work.

Women use theirs to accent colors in their hair, brighten their lips, make their smell travels several feet around them, color their nails, and wear tight clothing that accents their body.

Weird how this is the only thing you seem to point to women doing, and then you project all this back onto them as it being the only thing they care about. Wooooooof.

In my experience, the women I work with primarily do their jobs. Some of them, incredibly well.

That's up to you. I personally find it fun to meet people and I prefer being near nice smells. It doesn't mean that a rose perfume makes me uncontrollable.

Most perfumes aren't even naturally sexy smells. It's not like people are pumping pheromones in the air.
