Major medias nationwide have been covering the news on how pheromone
attracts women and men for a long time. Scientific evidence with
clinical results have also been published as evidence. The following
article was originally published by WEBMD and then was published by
CNN and other medias.
Pheromones:
Potential participants in your sex life
By Deb Levine, M.A.
(WebMD) -- You've never heard of pheromones? Well, it's time to
learn about the part they play in your sex life, because it could be
substantial. The concept of a human pheromone, or sexual scent of
attraction, has been debated and researched for years.
In most animals, the relationship between pheromones and mating
is straightforward. Sea urchins, for example, release pheromones
into the surrounding water, sending a chemical message that triggers
other urchins in the colony to eject their sex cells simultaneously.
Human pheromones, on the other hand, are highly individualized,
and not always noticeable. In 1986 Dr. Winifred Cutler, a biologist
and behavioral endocrinologist, codiscovered pheromones in our
underarms. She and her team of researchers found that once any
overbearing underarm sweat was removed, what remained were the
odorless materials containing the pheromones.
Dr. Cutler's original studies in the '70s showed that women who
have regular sex with men have more regular menstrual cycles than
women who have sporadic sex. Regular sex delayed the decline of
estrogen and made women more fertile. This led the research team to
look for what the man was providing in the equation. By 1986 they
realized it was pheromones.
Menstrual synchronization
There's more on how pheromones affect women's menstrual cycles.
Think back to college, or to growing up if you had sisters. Most
women who live with or near other women adjust their menstrual cycle
timing to each other. A recent study at the University of Chicago by
Martha McClintock exposed a group of women to a whiff of
perspiration from other women. It caused their menstrual cycles to
speed up or slow down depending on the time in the month the sweat
was collected -- before, during or after ovulation. This was the
first proof that people produce and respond to pheromones.
Although it's now clear that pheromones exist, the way our body
processes them has yet to be determined. Animals have a vomeronasal
organ (VNO), which perceives the substance and then leads them to
mate. Some anatomists don't think humans have a VNO; others think
they've found pits inside our nostrils that might be VNOs, but may
not work.
Implications for fertility and depression
Despite the gap in our knowledge, these remarkable studies about
pheromones and menstrual cycles have brought to light the idea that
pheromones could be used as fertility treatments for couples who
want to conceive, or as contraceptives for those who don't. And
couples who are having sexual problems could use pheromones combined
with traditional therapy to enhance desire. It's also possible, some
researchers say, that pheromones could be a mood enhancer,
alleviating depression and stress. And the most far-reaching
hypothesis so far is that pheromone treatment could control prostate
activity in men to reduce the risk of cancer.
Subtle but strong influence
If you're looking for the man or woman of your dreams,
unsuspecting pheromones in your body scent are most likely playing a
large and very clever role in mate attraction. According to an
article in "Psychology Today," how our body odors are perceived as
pleasant and sexy to another person is a highly selective process.
We usually smell best to a person whose genetically based immunity
to disease differs most from our own. This could benefit you in the
long run, making for stronger, healthier children.
Seventy-four percent of the people who tested a commercial
pheromone called Athena, developed by Dr. Cutler, experienced an
increase in hugging, kissing and sexual intercourse. Maybe the best
advice to those looking for a mate or wanting to take their
relationship to a new level is to take a good long sniff!
