Pheromones And Attraction

We all have a natural scent which plays a big part when it comes to our attraction to the opposite sex, known as pheromone, which are released by humans, animals and insects in the form of massive amounts of biological chemicals found in body fluids such as tears, sweat and saliva. So what exactly is the link with pheromones and attraction, and does this account for the human notion of ´love at first sight? These aromas that we release convey signals relating to mood, status, drive and health in the subconscious awareness of the opposite sex.

In many animal species, the male tends to emit more of these natural chemicals than the female, therefore attracting more conquests to enjoy. These pheromones can be detected over great distances and replace verbal communications in some instances. This is particularly noticeable in animals who often identify potential partners by smell, with a male dog having the ability to identify a bitch in heat over a distance of a mile or more. Do pheromones really dominate our sexual attractions or is this just another unproven new-age theory?

Unfortunately there is little to prove this either way but many studies do suggest it is entirely possible. In fact, it is not so much the existence of human sex pheromones that is in doubt but more the individual humans ability to detect them. Sweat may be one of the least attractive body odours, but studies have considered that this is what the opposite sex responds to subconsciously while others advocate that perfume with artificially produced pheromones in it, will attract more attention from the opposite sex for the wearer.

This may not seem quite such a turn on but many are equally skeptical these manufactured perfumes and colognes supposedly designed to produce the same effects. However, when it comes down to it, pheromones and attraction can be linked by one main and very unsexy substance, human sweat. Unbeknown to most men they are constantly secreting Androstomene, a hormone which attracts females, that is only released when they perspire. None of us are particularly keen on body odour and so we apply deodorants and perfumes to cover it up and replace them with exotic man-made scents to attract the opposite sex instead. On the other hand, we may still recognise these natural scents even though we do not appear to detect them on a conscious level.
