Understanding the Power of Pheromones

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.

Pheromones and Attraction

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.

How to attract a girl

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.
