The Science of Sexuality in "Sherlock" (BBC): Missed Clues on Naked Irene Adler, Phenylethylamine Float, etc

The BBC production of "Sherlock" is played so impeccably by the brilliant Benedict Cumberbatch. What makes this show unique is how Sherlock utilizes the study of body language in combination with logical deduction in order to assess human sexuality, usually to hilarious effect. Not many shows have a scientific (or even accurate) perspective on human sexuality, and that is one of the reasons why "Sherlock" is my favourite show!

"Sherlock" Season 2 "A Scandal in Belgravia" Now this is a classic scene where Sherlock meets Irene Adler, who appears nude in order to shock and confuse him. What I find perplexing is that he fails to pick up on a myriad of obvious signs.
