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.

The Benefits of Using Pheromone Colognes

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.

The Unnoticed Hero – Pheromone Colognes

December 1st, 2010 No comments

As you may already know, pheromones are extremely powerful chemicals excreted by many different
species, including humans. And while many colognes can allure members of the opposite sex with their
great odors, you can often times end up smelling just like everyone else with the same cologne, and
sometimes these colognes are far too strong, and as a result, the smell can be quite off-putting. Therein
lies the beauty of pheromone colognes. Instead of relying on the superficial odor of the cologne, which
is something entirely subjective depending on the individual, pheromone colognes attract members of
the opposite sex in an irresistible way.

In the animal kingdom, animals do not have the same methods of attracting partners as we do. Animals
do not have the ability to dress a certain way, style their hair in any fashion that they please, or alter
their overall appearance. As a result, a large part of attraction while looking for a mate comes from the
sex pheromones that these animals release. While are much more evolved than many animals, we still
release pheromones, and they still attract partners. The problem is that in humans, the pheromones are
much weaker than those released by animals. For example, certain butterflies and moths can attract
mates from over 10 kilometres away, but unfortunately human pheromones are not that strong. This is
where pheromone colognes come into play.

Pheromone colognes have been created to bridge the gap due to the weakened effect of human
pheromones, and when utilized properly, pheromone colognes can do an excellent job of attracting
nearly anyone. The aforementioned regular colognes can help increase your appeal to some partners,
but not everyone likes the same smells, and some people have severe allergies to scents, which can
entirely negate any effect of standard colognes. A large number of pheromone colognes are completely
odourless, and that’s perfectly fine, as we cannot consciously detect the scent of human pheromone
anyway.

We highly recommend picking up a pheromone cologne, because nearly every pheromone cologne
available has an extremely positive reception. Many customers have reported great success with
these colognes. It is not atypical for a customer to say that they were not getting any attention from
females until they began using a pheromone cologne. Without changing anything about their physical
appearance, and just by using a pheromone cologne, some people’s lives are completely changed by the
amount of attention they get from females. Customers who would previously leave the club alone at the
end of the night often times find themselves leaving with a female, and multiple numbers at the end of
the night when they use a pheromone cologne.
