The '''Gay Bomb''', '''Love bomb''' or '''aphrodisiac bomb''' was a proposed ordinance originally looked in to by the United states air force. The bomb would have rendered [[enemy combatant]]s unable to participate in combat, due to a sexual attraction to each other.

The plan was proposed in 1994 by the Wright Laboratory in Ohio as part of a 3 page paper on non-lethal bombs that could be used on [[enemy combatant]]s, and included a "body odor" bomb, a "halitosis" bomb, and a bomb that would spray combatants with bee [[pheromone]]s, then release live bees into the bunkers; there is also mention of a flatulence bomb and a "heavy sweating" bomb. It was released to the public with a freedom of information request by the Sunshine Project. <ref> "Harassing, Annoying, and 'Bad Guy' Identifying Chemicals" (PDF). Sunshine Project.
