Pheromones
By the mid twentieth Century thousands of organic chemical substances known as Pheromones (FARE-oh-mowns) were isolated from different types of insects. Scientists at that time were in the habit of collecting insect genitalia to extract a natural form of the chemical for their laboratory uses. By that time Pheromones were commonly used in research related to insect control and it was a well known fact that insects commonly secreted this substance to attract a huge number of their fellow insects to a food source or to discipline their activities such as the movement of ants in an organized column.
Further on it was proven by scientists that animals also secreted Pheromones. Both the male and female animals were shown to excrete Pheromones through the skin, a process to attract the opposite sex. An example of this is when a female dog is in heat, the dog excretes this invisible chemical which male dogs sense and are excited by from long distances drawing them to come to the female dog. Concluding this we can say that Pheromones are invisible and odorless substances which attract the opposite sex, the big question is do humans also excrete Pheromones ?
The concept of human pheromones has excited many people with vivid imaginations. The idea that you could wear a special cologne or perfume to attract the opposite sex was a fantastic theory that led to allegations that politicians could use the chemical to win elections and salespeople could use it to increase their revenue. Up until recently there has never been any study on human pheromones and the scientific community did not take the subject seriously. However, several credible events of notice have taken place;
David Berliner, a former professor of anatomy who now heads a private biotechnology company, claimed to have isolated a number of pheromones that act as sex attractants through their impact on the human system. Another scientific researcher Winnifred Cutler was instrumental in developing a formula for creating synthetic human pheromones to attract the opposite sex. He compiled a study on a test group of men wearing female attractant Pheromones with their aftershave and found that within a six week timeframe those men displayed a high increase in sexual intercourse, sleeping with women, and affectionate behavior (hugging/kissing/petting) as compared to their normal data without a Pheromone and contrasted to a non-Pheromone test group. A similar study was conducted on a group of women wearing a male attractant Pheromone in their perfume which produced more sexual activity in their lifestyle.
Because of these scientific confirmations of the effect of Pheromones in humans a large number of cmpanies took the initiative to sell Pheromone products. Some of these companies marketed animal pheromones which any scientist knows are very different from human pheromones and that combined with a few companies selling inert chemicals disguised as pheromones brought down the level of confidence in this product. However, the large demand for synthetic human Pheromones has also brought down the cost drastically.
What about the practical side of this product ? There are two types of Pheromones available on the market; For females to attract males and for males to attract females. A human’s sense of sexual stimulation is not predominated by the sense of smell and the complexity of the human thought process will always partially negate the influence of Pheromones on the opposite sex. Therefore for the best probability that wearing the Pheromone will result in more sexual encounters and activities the Pheromone should be added to a cologne or perfume and used over an extended time; in such a case as with contact with the opposite sex the probability of increased sexual encounters and activities is boosted dramatically.
