The Science of Linking Pheromones With Sexual Attraction

December 10th, 2011 No comments

A pheromone is a chemical that is either secreted or excreted by a member of a species in order to create a social or physical response within other members of that same species. These pheromones are used by many species as a method of remote communication. For example, there are pheromones that will trigger an attack response, a follow response, or even a sexual response. It is pheromones that identify food trails for insects and it is pheromones that an Africanized honey bee will leave on a victim as a signal of where the other bees should attack.

While entomologists may find all of this fascinating, for the rest of the world the interest in pheromones is on their impact between humans. While most advertisements involving pheromones focus on sexual attraction, it is not beyond reason to say that people are interested in pheromones for all of the ways in which they can be used to influence behaviors, feelings, and actions.

From the first studies on pheromones and mammals through modern day findings it was initially thought that pheromones work through the vomeronasal organ. The vomeronasal organ is a chemosensory organ that is found within the nasal septum, at its base. There is some debate about the interaction of the vomeronasal organ in adults, but its mere existence has formed the foundation for much of the human pheromone research. Other researchers have determined that they do not need an operable vomeronasal organ to verify findings that pheromones have an affect on humans. For these researchers, observing the affect is enough to justify their publishing study findings. Understanding how the affects are formed, that is to them, the subject for future studies.

Pheromones In Our Sweat

While much of the scientific community was debating whether pheromones could impact sexual behavior, Dr Winifred Cutler, a behavioral endocrinologist was able to isolate and identify the existence of pheromones in human sweat. She, along with a research team, were able to show that when underarm sweat was separated from the underarm, that pheromones remained.

This finding was important to Cutler because it validated her studies from years earlier that speculated about the affects of human pheromones but could not prove their existence. Her original study revolved around showing the effects of regular sexual activity and menstrual cycle regularity. Her study speculated that it was the pheromone interaction that contributes to this phenomenon and it was not until years late in 1986 when she was able to prove the existence of pheromones within humans.

These studies by Cutler mirrored other studies by a University of Chicago researcher, Martha McClintock. McClintock, like Cutler, made research finding that speculated on the affect of pheromones without being able to prove their existence. McClintock built on her previous research after Cutler using the proof of the existence of pheromones to validate the impact that pheromones had on ovulation. McClintock was able to show that menstrual cycles could be speed up or slowed down depending on the time within their overall cycle they were allowed to sniff pheromones. This led to the understanding of the impact of male sweat, the pheromones in that sweat, and its linkages to regular menstrual cycles.

This is all highly relevant to the effect of pheromones on sexual attraction because feelings of desire and the wanting of sexual activity is affected by the menstrual cycle which in itself is affected by pheromones. Science has made the link.

Secondary Pheromone Studies

Subsequent to the above referenced studies a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience in 2007 connected the smelling of androstadienone, a pheromone found in male sweat, a direct effect on producing and maintaining higher levels of cortisol in women. While increases cortisol levels are not directly associated with attraction of arousal, it does show the interrelationship between the male pheromone and the female response. This response has now been proven to have an impact on the endocrine balance of others, which can lead to enhanced or elevated mood.

This connection between the smell of a pheromone and the hormonal affects on the opposite sex has lead researchers to further validate the connections between pheromones and attraction, intimacy, and arousal. There has been additional research that has made preliminary connections between sexual attraction and the linkages between that attraction within same sex and opposite sex relationships. These finding are preliminary, but because the study was able to isolate variables as distinct as homo and heterosexual attraction the researchers were in fact able to isolate pheromones and prove their impact on attraction between all types of relationships, hetero and homosexual alike.

The Scents of Attraction

It has long been established that scents have an impact on mood and feelings. Sometimes these scents bring back anchored memories from our pasts locked in our subconscious and other times these scents bring about a new response that has not roots in our psyche but simply interacts with our brain in a particular way. Perfume and cologne manufacturers have known this for decades as have aromatherapists If you have ever had a particular scented perfume or cologne that absolutely draws you in or makes you have feelings of sexual desire, then you know the power a scent can have over your mind and body.

This is the same theory behind the science of pheromones. The sense of smell represents 20% of the ways in which we interact with the outside world. While some of us rely on our sense of vision, touch, and hearing; it is the sense of smell that circumvents our conscious mind and directly stimulates feelings within our subconscious. Consider food as an example. Were it not for your sense of smell, most food would taste the same. The smell is a major part of taste. This is how pheromones work. They are a natural by product of individuals and they trigger natural responses. Just as sensual touch and physical attraction can stimulate arousal and intimacy so can the sense of smell. Especially when those smells trigger a reaction that is within our deep down psychological and genetic memory, a scent of a pheromone that triggers a response that is beyond conscious analysis and yet it is a response that our primitive nature has kept with itself for thousands of years. It is this sort of primitive animal attraction that is deeply seated in our subconscious that is brought out with pheromones.

Smell, Attraction, and Pheromones

December 8th, 2011 No comments

Smell can have a direct impact on attraction. This is a fact that most individuals know subjectively and perfume and cologne companies know objectively. Scientists have studied the ways in which smells impact attraction for decades. Most of the time, smells are simply emotional anchors that a person has within themselves that psychologically triggers a specific reaction in that recalls a past feeling, memory, or experience. This is why there are so many different types of colognes and perfumes. Each smell can trigger a different reaction in different individuals. This is why some individuals are aroused and drawn to members of the opposite sex that are “wearing” a specific scent.

These scent based attractions have their roots in our most basic of survival instincts. In fact, when researchers move beyond the psychological memory and anchors that specific scents bring to the surface of different individuals they find that there are chemicals and hormones that enter the body intranasally that do not have a scent and yet they have an effect on arousal and attraction.

Pheromones The Unscented Smell of Attraction

Pheromones are unscented chemicals that are naturally produced by the body. These chemicals can signal to other individuals a persons identity, attractiveness, and even sexual receptivity. The pheromones are natures way of evening the playing field, making certain males more attractive to certain females at different times within their ovulation cycles.

Study after study has shown that when pheromones are breathed in through the nasal cavity they have an impact on the way women view men. These studies have used pictures of men, stories of men, and even live men to gauge the impact of the pheromones. Research has proven that with the presence of pheromones, women find men more attractive and more sexually appealing than they did without the presence of pheromones. These studies controlled all outside variables and the overall findings were that the simple presence of pheromones made the majority of the women studied have more feelings of arousal toward the same men that they had been introduced to on a prior occasion. In other words, with the only factor changing in the study was the presence of pheromones, the same men were found to be more sexually appealing to the same women.

The reason for this change in attraction has been attributed to the effect that pheromones have on the hormones within the woman. Pheromones have been proven to have a major impact on ovulation cycles of women. This impact has been studied in several different ways all of which came to the same conclusion, pheromones themselves impact women in different ways at different stages of their ovulation cycle.

Therefore pheromones do affect women in making them more sexually attracted to a man than they were without the presence of pheromones and the amount of this change is regulated by the stage of the menstrual cycle they are in at the time of the study. This then means to the average man that using pheromones to enhance their impact on women is not something that can be targeted toward a single woman unless that man knows the stages of that womans menstrual cycle. But if a man is going to be in the presence of more than one woman, that man will enhance is sexual appeal to the portion of those women that are in the stage of their menstrual cycle where pheromones have the greatest impact.

Pheromones and Species Survival

The conclusion that we can make from the science behind pheromones and their impact on attraction is that pheromones play an important role in the survival of species. They make females of the species increasingly attracted to, even proactively so, those males that are giving off the most pheromones during certain points of their ovulation cycle. As a result of these females being impacted and incited to arousal and proactive seeking of a mate, the pheromone ensures that more females will find themselves pregnant and as a result further perpetuate the species.

This is important to note because pheromones are oftentimes produced within the sweat glands of the male. While the pheromones themselves are odorless, the males that were stronger and more aggressive would sweat more and therefore put off more pheromones for the females to be drawn to. This too served to make certain that even weaker females were incited to seek out aggressively seek out sexual relations with the stronger males of the species in order to have stronger offspring. The fact that the female had to be incited to be more aggressive in the seeking out of the male is because in many pack situations weaker females are kept from the strongest alpha males by stronger females. The presence of pheromones would motivate those weaker females to fight to get to that pheromone producing male in order to ensure that she too would have a chance at strong offspring.

The take away from the recent studies on pheromones is that they do have an impact on the perceived attractiveness of males to females. This attractiveness cannot be targeted to a single female as accurately as it can be targeted to a group of females all of whom are at different stages of ovulation. This is not to say that the studies did not show that females exposed to pheromones on average found the same males more sexually appealing than they did before they were exposed to the pheromones. But that the extent of this impact is modulated by the stage of ovulation each female is at the moments of exposure.

With this said, if a male were attempting to have an impact on a specific female he would likely have varied results over any 28 day period. Whereas if a male were to encounter a group of women, all at different stages of ovulation, that male would have a varied impact on the females within that group. Each of whom would find themselves more attracted to that male than if there were no pheromones present, but the extent of that enhanced attractiveness would vary from individual to individual. Either way, there would be an impact that would favor the male.

 

With Pheromones The Nose Knows

December 6th, 2011 No comments

Even though it may sound less than professional, an ABC news reporter used the line that the when it comes to pheromones, the woman’s nose, knows. This is yet another report that follows those made over the years by various news outlets including ABC, CNN, and others that pheromones are effective and have been scientifically proven to enhance feelings of attraction between individuals.

Pheromones are chemicals that are odorless and are produced naturally by the body. These have a direct impact on reproduction and ovulation and at the same time, when excreted from the body and inhaled through the nose, have an impact on feelings of attractiveness and sexual appeal.

Women Find Pheromones Work On Men

This attraction goes both ways depending on the specific pheromone used. Recently a study was published in the Journal of Physiology and Behavior showed that women who used pheromones as an additive to their perfume had a marked increase in sexual attention from the same men that they were exposed to before the pheromones were added to the perfume. These study used various controls to ensure accuracy and even used a placebo group to measure specific differences. Interestingly the study did find that the placebo group also had an increase in sexual attraction, but not nearly the increase that was experienced by the group using pheromones. This was attributed to the natural pheromones that a person would give off if they were feeling and thinking they were going to be found extra appealing to the opposite sec that day.

This study was very important among the other studies on pheromones because this study was specifically directed at the impact of the pheromone on males being attracted to females, whereas most studies are focused on pheromones making men more attractive to women. It is clear that pheromones can impact either gender and that the impact has been studied and verified by science.

Pheromones Go Beyond Attraction

The above study was commissioned by Dr Winnifred Cutler, a pioneer in the study of pheromones and their impact on attraction. It was Cutler’s studies in the 1970′s that first showed the existence of pheromones within residual male sweat and it was also Cutler that later made some of the first clinical advancements in linking pheromones to ovulation and hormones in women.

Cutler was also a pioneer in many studies that proved that humans could process the existence of pheromones even though the existence of an active vomeronasal organ, the organ thought necessary to process pheromones, within humans was once the subject of heated scientific debate. While some debated the ability of the vomeronasal organ, Cutler moved beyond that organ and simply quantified proven results, without being burdened by what organ is actually processing the pheromones within study participants..

While Cutler has spent a considerable amount of time proving the impact of pheromones on attraction and sexual appeal. She also has found that pheromones have an impact on four primary life functions. These are; territorial marking, infant and mother interactions, sexual attraction, and reproductive synchronization. While territorial marking is not something that we find necessary in modern society the uses of pheromones in creating bonds between mother and child are critically important.

The evolutionary reason why there is synchronization of reproductive cycles in response to pheromones is not yet known. But the fact that pheromones have a primary impact on women in different stages of ovulation carries over to the fourth aspect of pheromones, sexual attraction.

Sexual attraction in response to pheromone production has been linked to many evolutionary processes. Whether it be the fact that at certain stages of ovulation the pheromones have an increased impact on arousal and sexual attractiveness, this leading to females attempting to mate with pheromone producing males at the proper times of ovulation. Sexual attraction as a result of pheromone production has also been theoretically linked to the connection between the production of pheromones in the sweat glands and the males that sweat the most, in some as species this is an indicator of that male being strongest, most active and healthiest of the males in the group. Therefore, the more sweat, the more pheromones, the more pheromones the more the females would find that male attractive and as a result want to mate with that male.

The speculations themselves can actually be numbered in the hundreds, but what is important to most individuals is that pheromones are effective and they can enhance a persons attractiveness. This attractiveness will be affected by the amount of attraction the individual had for that person in the first place and by the stage of ovulation that person is in when exposed to the pheromones. In other words, pheromones will not make a person irresistibly attractive to everyone, but they will make a person more attractive to others than they were before the pheromones. The amount of increased attractiveness is also impacted by the ovulation cycle of the other person.

Using Pheromones In Social Encounters

Given these scientific findings it is worthwhile to use pheromones when engaging in social situations. The pheromones themselves are odorless and if they can have an impact on a persons self confidence and reception from others, then it is worth using. Everyone wants to feel attractive and to be found appealing by others, using pheromones will help. This is not to say that a person can radically change the views others have of them by simply using pheromones, but it will enhance the attraction between those individuals. This impact will also carry over to new relationships that are formed during social events. Having an extra boost of attraction driven by pheromones is worthwhile, especially for those that need an extra boost of confidence and appeal to make their interactions memorable.

The key to using pheromones is to remember the results of the studies. The studies found that not everyone is impacted by the pheromones in the same way and those that are impacted will be impacted to different degrees dependent upon the stage of ovulation they are at during the encounter. Therefore a person should not rely on pheromones to be a miracle drug, but simply look to the pheromones as an enhancement to a situation.

 

 

Pheromones and Attraction

November 25th, 2011 No comments

Numerous researches have been conducted about the various aspects of pheromones. The working of these chemicals is always a subject of interest in almost all of these researches. Pheromones can be defined or described as powerful chemical signals that are produced in the body of human beings as well as other animals. There are varied reasons for the secretion of these chemicals by the body. In the case of human beings, the purpose of secreting the pheromones is for attracting the opposite sex. This is not always the case when it comes to the matter of the animal kingdom. There are two different and opposite functions for the secretion of pheromones. One is for attracting the mate and other is as a mechanism of defense. This may differ according to the situation. In both the case of human beings and animals, the pheromones have a close relation with attraction of the opposite sex.

The mechanism in the body tom differentiate the pheromones are so simple. There is a specific organ in the nose or the nasal cavity. It is called as Vemeronasal organ. This organ will sense the presence of pheromones and sends a signal to the brain. The pheromone from the skin mixes with the air in the surroundings. The individual who inhales the pheromones will get a signal according to the type of the pheromone that is released. These pheromones have the ability to make the person inhaling it to behave in a different way than normal. The change in the behavior will also depend on the type of pheromone.

The pheromones have a great role in making the human beings more socially adaptable. There are various reasons that have affected the natural ability of the human body to reduce or completely stop the ability of the body to produce pheromones. The living style, the food patters, and even the climatic changes could be those factors that have caused this problem. With the passing of time, people have become more aware of the positive effects of pheromones in their social and personal life. This is the factor that has made a huge amount of increase in the demand for the various products that has pheromones in it. Different people uses these products for different purposes. It could be in getting a date or for creating more exciting sex life with his or her partner.

It is a misconception that the use of pheromones will make them attractive for the opposite sex. There are some other factors that affect the feature of attraction. For example, a person who is not confident or has no sense of fashion and style will not get a positive result just because of the reason that he uses the pheromone products. Pheromones can only provide a much needed edge for the individual in making themselves feel attractive to the people he is interested in. the real effort has to come from the part of the individual to get the desired result. One should not expect the pheromones to do all the job in attracting people. This could be one factor that creates a negative about the pheromone products that it is not working.

Can Pheromones Help You Attract Women

October 26th, 2011 No comments

Pheromones are those chemicals that we cannot see , that we are not conscious of their presence, but it intensely stimulates our body especially in terms of attraction.

These substances are secreted by the body for “mating” purpose , so the female attracts the male of the same species by releasing the right pheromones.

The same thing happens with males in order to attract females. This can happen to any living creature – people, animals and insects – because all living beings need a partner to reproduce and the way to attract the partner is through the release of pheromones. In the humans case the idea that our bodies are attracting chemically is a bit strange and simultaneously it is not.

There are many ways in which a person can produce pheromones, and many reasons for this to, but before you do this you need to know more about them.

One of the main reasons why you want to release the pheromones is that you can use them to achieve certain goals. For example, if you were able to produce your own pheromones, then you “perfume” with them anytime and the opposite sex would be instantly attracted to the odor.

The effects of pheromones on the opposite sex :

  • Sexual attraction
  • Trust
  • Relaxation
  • Pheromones increase the sexual desire to the opposite sex
  • Pheromones contribute in improving your sex life by increasing your sexual acts.
  • Because pheromones increase attractiveness and charm (the aura) of the person there will also be a growing self-confidence, a better personal image perception.

How perfumes with pheromones affect us?

We all like different fragrant flavors that we associate with different things, for example, very often associated with relaxation is the lavender. Many of us use perfumes in different ways to improve the smell of a room, the clothes and body. Perfume is extracted from plants and flowers and it trigger different senses in order to induce certain states. Plants contain pheromones, which converts into perfumes and from them, they provide to our senses the desired reaction.

The perfumes with pheromones are extremely beneficial for people who do not give off enough pheromones naturally and experience a failure because of that. They are also extremely practical because you just have to replace your regular perfume with the scent of pheromones, which may have different smells. Pheromones have no smell so it can be easily integrated into a perfume with different scents.

Everyone likes to be admired and attractive, so even if you are married, became engaged or engaged in a long term relationship you can get out on the street equipped with this secret weapon, and all thr persons of the opposite sex will admire you , respect you and maybe love you.

Human Pheromones

March 26th, 2011 No comments

For over centuries, mankind has been interested with love potions and scents in order to attract members of the opposite sex. Because of this a lot of supposed formulas have been created in order to stimulate the forces of seduction and make them more functional; however, the real potions are not done by artificial means-they are actually secreted by the human body as a natural force.

These “love potion” secretions are formally known as pheromones. Human pheromones are emitted by each and every person as part of attracting their desired mate, theoretically speaking. Almost all living things secrete pheromones, and these are used by animals to find their mate. With humans however, pheromones are easily washed away thanks to hygienic practices of bathing and continuous washing of the different body parts, as well as by applying fragrances such as lotions and perfumes.

Human pheromones are similar to animal and plant pheromones; they are emitted to transmit various signals to a certain subject, such as mood preferences, sexual attraction and subconscious awareness. They are not only secreted in sweat but as well as in other forms, and they are usually felt subconsciously by the receiving party.

Many people think that humans secrete lower levels of pheromones, but that isn’t at all true. They still emit substantial amounts of pheromones, but these are usually washed away during morning hygiene and grooming, thus they rely more on fragrances in order to be more attractive. Because of this, there are companies who have tried out the use of human pheromones on their own products so that these could be more utilized by both men and women.

Human pheromone formulas are becoming more and more popular in the market at present. Unlike regular fragrances such as colognes and perfumes, these formulas don’t carry a heavy scent. They are applied on the skin just like perfumes, and they work by increasing the functions of pheromones present in the body in order to attract the opposite sex. Also, they tend to be safer and cleaner as they are made of natural ingredients and not laboratory-concocted scents.

Human pheromone products have grown to be a great alternative to different individuals. While some use them to increase their charisma, there are those who rely on these products in order to attract more desirable members of the opposite sex for love and romance. Hence, if you are looking for the ultimate love potion, then human pheromone products would be the best solution to try out.

The Benefits of Using Pheromone Colognes

March 26th, 2011 No comments

Pheromone colognes have been selling light hotcakes during the past few years, thanks to the benefits they contribute to their users. They even work better than that of regular fragrances which use different types of scents from plants and animals concocted with certain chemicals. But are pheromone colognes?

These colognes are similar to regular colognes ad perfumes. They carry a light, good smell, but it’s not the scent that matters in their formulation. These colognes are specially-mixed with pheromones, which are extracts that serve as natural love potions. Every living thing on earth emits pheromones in order to stimulate sexual drive and mood to their partners, and so do humans. In the case of humans however, pheromones are easily washed away by hygiene procedures, such as baths, showers or cleansing.

Pheromone colognes offer a lot of benefits to their users, and among them include:

  • Faster attraction on the opposite sex. Pheromones usually transmit signals to a desired subject, such as a member of the opposite sex. A person wearing pheromone cologne will be able to attract more potential mates, thus it is recommended to use the fragrance when going to parties or going out on a date.
  • Increased self-confidence and self-esteem. A lot of people have trouble finding a partner, and this may be because of their lack of self-confidence. If they can’t bring their looks into the right places, they can still be able to seduce their potential partner by means of pheromone action.
  • Light fragrant smell. Unlike other regular colognes and perfumes, pheromone colognes are light and easy to smell. People who get the scent don’t find the fragrance to heavy or too harsh, thus they would like the idea of smelling you for a longer period of time.
  • Long-lasting effects. While all fragrances lose their essence after a matter of time, the effects of pheromones however last longer than. Even if the scent has gone, the pheromones still take action even after a long day.

Pheromone colognes are found just about everywhere-from malls, department stores, drugstores, as well as across the internet. You may want to give them a try in order to understand their full effects on a first-hand basis, and not just through reviews or hearsay. When purchasing pheromone products online however, it is best to get them from reputable dealers so you’d get only authentic items.

Getting the Attraction of Men

January 28th, 2011 No comments

What attracts men towards toward women? The answer is not a very difficult one to find and neither is it something to answer which you need to be a genius. Basic things like good looks and a positive attitude is enough for some men to fall over women. Although men looks for a number of traits in their life partner but when it comes to attracting men, there are not many things that a women need. But apart from the good looks and good attitude there is something else also which tends to make men go behind women. Before you start running your mind in all the directions let me break the secret, it is supposedly a chemical which female body secretes and it attracts the males. These chemicals are known as female pheromones and they tend to increase the sexual attractiveness of women.

It is believed by the scientists that with time the human nose have lost this capability to detect pheromones intentionally but some where inside unintentionally we tend to get attracted by the pheromones.. By detecting the pheromones a man gets attracted towards the person who has released the pheromones. Thus men follow the women. This process is more scaled in case of some insects. With time however the effect of pheromones that women had have gone down as compared to the effect of pheromones of men.

These pheromones are generally present in the women’s sweat. Copulin pheromone and androstenol pheromone are the two pheromones that the women’s body generally secretes but various body sprays destroy androstenol pheromone. This is a cause of great concern because pheromones are thought of as a great tool by which women automatically attract men.

Scientists have claimed however that now these pheromones have been recreated in the labs and therefore now a woman can easily attract the man even if she is not capable of secreting the pheromones herself. These pheromones can be used with a body spray and are invisible. This would result in an individual not knowing he is being attracted due to the pheromone.

There are many products in the market which claim that they are selling pheromones for women. These are body sprays and have been in the market for some time. Some of these have also been found to be affective though it remains a question whether really pheromones are responsible for the same.

In any case there is no harm in trying these sprays once; you never know when they might work.

A Video On How Pheromones Make You More Attractive **MUST WATCH**

That definitely looks promising and I recommend everyone to check out pherazone. However if you want my inside pro tip I have used pherazone as well as numerous other pheromone products and in my opinion alfa maschio has that little bit of edge over pherazone, don’t ask me what it is but I found it just performed better overall. Now I am not saying this will be the case for everyone nor am I telling you not to try pherazone but in my opinion there is only one true winner, check out alfa maschio here.

Understanding the Power of Pheromones

December 20th, 2010 No comments

While we typically hear pheromones mentioned when we are speaking of the animal kingdom, they are
also present in humans, and more recently, colognes and other products to increase the sexual desire
of someone. Since animals can’t hit the gym and simply get buff, pheromones are a large part of the
attraction between them, and believe it or not, pheromones influence attraction in humans, too.

There are many different types of pheromones that exist, even though we usually hear about the ones
used for increasing sexual desire. Simply put, pheromones are chemicals released by the body, but
different pheromones can have vastly different functions. For example, one specific type of pheromone
is called the “releaser pheromone”. In certain animals, these releaser pheromones can be detected
miles away, and can attract a potential mate from this great distance. While many people might
be upset to find out that human beings do not possess such a power, human pheromones are still
interesting in themselves.

Another type of pheromone is what is referred to as the “trail pheromone”. These trail pheromones are
often found in small insects, a well known example being the common ant. Instead of being used for
reproductive purposes like the aforementioned releaser pheromone, the trail pheromone is used for
survival of the ant colony. When the ants have found a food source, on their way back to the ant nest
they release the trail pheromone in, yep, you guessed it, a trail. While the ants travel back and forth to
the vibrant food source, the ants are continually releasing the trail pheromones to tell the other ants
to continue retrieving food from the source. When the ants begin to deplete the source of food, the
trail pheromones become gradually weaker to signal to the other ants that the food source will soon be
useless to them.

So as you can see, pheromones have a wide variety of purposes, but the common factor is that the
purposes are all extremely important, and are carried out by chemicals that many people did not know
existed. Pheromones serve many functions even in human beings. While the research isn’t as in depth
as it is in animals yet, we are learning more and more about the roles of pheromones in humans. We
are certain that they play a role in sexual attraction in human beings, hence the extremely popular
pheromone colognes, but research is continuing to uncover how pheromones exactly do that.
