What are pheremones?

Pheremones are chemical odor signals, produced by an animal, that serve as a stimulus to other individuals of the same species for one or more behavioral responses. Released into the air, pheromones send out subconscious messages to the opposite sex and trigger strong feelings of desire and/or attraction.

What do pheremones do?

Pheremones influence how animals develop, mate, bond, and nurture their offspring. Odors can accelerate puberty, control women's menstrual cycles, and even influence sexual orientation. They help us tell lovers and family members from strangers and let mothers and infants bond. Odors also affect how often we have sex, and with whom.

How are pheremones detected?

Pheremones act very differently from 'normal' smells. They utilize a special sensory organ called the Vomeronasal Organ (VNO), which is separate from the normal smelling process. Typically the organ is located in the nasal passages in close proximity to the opening or Nostil. It is in the form of a pit or sac and can seem gill-like. A chemical receptor, when the VNO senses pheremones it sends a signal to the brain in a language with no words, the language of 'instinct'. The effect is reflexive and instantaneous. Neural pathways from the VNO extend to the hypothalamus the brain's center for primal based instincts such as thirst, hunger and sex drive.There is still much arguing about the presence of this VNO in humans, but it is well accepted that pigs and cows in the vicinity of the sex pheromones of their species will be rendered "in the mood", even if they have no sexual experience, as long as the VNO is intact.

Do pheremones REALLY work on humans?

There is still great debate amongst scientists as to whether pheremones really work on humans or not. The VNO organ physically exists in approximately 80% in humans, but many scientists believe that it has been rendered ineffective through centuries of disuse. Even human pheromones' greatest supporters admit that humans are not as dependent on their VNO as pigs and cows, still it is hard to believe that the organ is 100% useless.

A number of pheremones and pheremone-like substances have already been isolated in humans, and have been shown in scientific studies to have an affect on a variety of human behaviors and hormonal processes. A number of controlled human studies have shown that pheremones, both natural and synthetic/supplemental, do indeed affect our social behavior, and a growing mountain of raving pheremone product testimonials also support these findings.

What pheromones do we know about?

A number of human pheremones have been isolated and studied, three of of which have been found effective for attracting members of the opposite sex: androstenol, androstenone, and copulins
.
Androstenol and androstenone are pheremones which are created on the skin of both sexes when chemicals in human sweat interact with common bacteria. Both have been found to influence human attraction.

Associated with youthful exuberance ANDROSTENOL is produced from the onset of puberty until the early twenties, after which production rapidly declines. Produced by men in quantites double and triple to those in women, ANDROSTENOL has the ability to alter people's impressions of a man's sexual attractiveness, intelligence and confidence
.
"f emales exposed to androstenol engage in many more, longer duration, and deeper interactions with men" (Cowley & Brooksbank (1991)

Cowley, Johnson, & Brooksbank (1977) also found that women rate men more positively when exposed to androstenol. Benton (1982) found that women exposed to androstenol on the upper lip rated themselves as more submissive around mid-cycle, a feeling that encourages impregnation. Cowley and Brooksbank (1991, p. 658) mention that Jackson, working in their laboratory had found evidence that the effects of an intial exposure to androstenol can persist for at least two weeks!

On the other hand, ANDROSTENONE, another compound, appears to be the essence of male aggression and dominance. Women are attracted to men who naturally secret large quantities of these pheremones, and other men tend to avoid them.

Copulin, a female substance, is found exclusively in human vaginal secretions, and has been shown to both elevate male testosterone levels (directly linked to increased sex drive), and positively affect perceptions of female attractiveness in targeted males.

If we produce pheremones naturally, why should I use a pheremone enhancement product?


During the course of the day the effectiveness of your natural pheremones are diminshed by factors such as age, clothing, and bathing. Through the use of pheremone enhancement products you are allowing your body to "go back to nature" and connect chemically with others in a culturally acceptable manner.

What are the benefits of using pheremone enhancement products?

Boosting your pheromone levels has the potential to greatly enhance your love life, your personal life, and your business life, if you use them in your everyday routine. Enjoy:
