Attract Pheromones

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.

Animals and plants use different means to convey their feelings and desires. Secretion of pheromones is one such way in which a certain chemical is released by a being to affect the behavior of another being from it’s own species. These pheromones create a stimulus in the body which results in desired behavior. This phenomenon of secreting pheromones is shown by most of the insects, some vertebrates and plants. The effect of a pheromone depends on the size of the animal. It also matters whether the pheromone is a male pheromone or female pheromone.

In case of human beings, female pheromones are considered to affect the behavior of homosexual women and heterosexual men and these are attracted towards females by these pheromones. The effect, however is very less as compared to the effect of male pheromones on an individual. But still, some amount of affect is experienced which does stimulates males. These chemicals affect the response and an individual unintentionally feels attracted. The studies claim that female pheromones do exist, but still one cannot say for sure because nothing concrete is yet established. In fact, the claims for male pheromone, which are said to be much stronger than female pheromones are not yet verified either.

The case of female pheromones has been seen more widely in insects and other animals. There have been a number of documentaries made on the subject of pheromones in insects. It has been seen that when a female insect releases a pheromone, it attracts male insects from significant distances. The female pheromones in insects are thus so strong.

Due to such an effect, many insects get attracted to the female over a small place. This creates a large density of insects at one point, leading to a sort of fierce competition. Such sorts of signals are also seen in man’s favorite pet, dog as well. One would have definitely seen a number of male dogs going behind a female dog. This is because of a chemical or a pheromone that is released by the female body which attracts the male dogs and this leads to desires and stress in the dog which could lead to its barking through the night.

There are some products which are sold in the market claiming to have female pheromones to attract males. The fact is that there is no concrete proof of any female pheromones in human beings but if you wish to give these products a chance, you should surely go ahead with the idea for they are only body sprays at the end of the day.
