A sniff of a "cuddle hormone" can encourage married men to literally keep their distance from other women, German scientists have shown - but paranoid wives should not yet put in orders for monogamy spray quite yet.

Rather than making men look out for a new woman, the hormone oxytocin, known for its importance in bonding between romantic partners, seemed to steer those already in a relationship away from a potential rival, the researchers found.

If the women are that insecure that they feel the need to drug their partner, or the partner really is messing around, then I say cut the cords and move on. It wasn't meant to be.

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
It smelled like turpentine and looked like India ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink....
