Do pheromones work? To be quite honest, it wasn't that long ago that I had no idea what pheromones did or what they were or how they influenced not only the animal and insect world, but also humans. So what is a pheromone; or more to the point, a human pheromone?

I did what any inquisitive member of the human race would do in the 21st. century; I looked up the word pheromones on the internet. Man, was I blown away! I remember thinking to myself at the time, " Why wasn't I aware of pheromones a lot earlier?" Hey for one thing, my self-esteem could have taken less of a battering than it did. Why I could have just consoled myself after a knockback from the opposite sex by saying..." So it's because you don't like the pheromones I'm emitting?"

Seriously though, since Dr. Winifred Cutler kind of blew the lid on the subject last century, pheromones has always been a subject that has fascinated the human race. In fact, over the last few years, pheromones have just about become a fashionable topic.

Can Pheromones Help "Break The Ice?"

By now you're probably still wondering whether pheromones can help you in “breaking the ice” with a member of the opposite sex or a member of the same sex for that matter. What is the best pheromone available or does such a thing exist? Will a pheromone perfume enhance a man or woman's ability to attract the opposite sex; or same sex for that matter?

Hey, it’s a personal choice. You may be so good at attracting partners that any extra boost of pheromone advantage would have just been a waste of time. If that’s the case then you’re probably sitting on a book or two and I encourage you to share your techniques with the rest of the world.

Do Pheromones Work -Do They Really Exist?

Ever wondered why dogs greet each other by a sniff of each others posteriors. Hey I’m not trying to gross you out but you see, like most animals they have the ability to detect pheromones.

Animals are affected in many ways by pheromones such as marking territory, finding a mate, warning of danger and even reproduction cycles. So what about humans? Glad you asked. In mammals, there is an organ called the vomeronasal organ or VNO for short. It’s two small tubes behind the nostril and its job is to detect pheromones.

Pheromones are like chemical messengers.They work outside the body to send messages to other animals. Ever noticed how you’re attracted to some people. You can bet your bottom dollar that pheromones are at work. You don’t smell pheromones because in humans, they are odorless yet experiments have shown that they do affect our behaviour.

Experiments conducted by scientists have proven that human pheromones can have such a powerful effect on other humans that they can even affect the ovulation cycle of women as well as their perceived attraction to potential mates. That’s powerful stuff.

Ask yourself this…during sex, does the sweat produced by your partner turn you off or does it actually turn you on?...Food for thought.

That's just silly. You'll notice all those "effects" are the result of more confidence, not stinking like a deer in heat.

If you're a single male between the age of 16 and 30, a highly likely chance exists for a burning desire to be with a woman. No matter how happy you claim to all your friends, the fact of the matter is you cannot hide your will to be surrounded by the opposite sex. It's common and it's natural.

The major problem most young males face with the opposite sex is merely working up enough courage to approach them. Courage and confidence are golden, however it's very easy to find yourself tongue tied when the moment of opportunity opens and sadly closes.

If you are looking to find advice on how to increase your success with girls, more than likely you have stumbled across pheromone products.

What are pheromones?

Pheromones are chemical signals that change an animal's behavior without the animal being aware of it, and are often involved in sexual behaviors. Pheromones also exist in humans and have similar effects on sexual behavior. Often you will find pheromones advertised in colognes and aftershave. Some are more potent and successful then others and contain androstenone, a type of pheromone.

What exactly does androstenone do?

Androstenone is common in both male and female, humans and pigs - although normally regarded as a male pheromone in humans. Androstenone pheromone typically creates a dominant, intimidating, and aggressive aura. The result is increased attention from the opposite sex. Studies have also discovered that it may cause sexual arousal and an increase in sexual tension.

...But does it really work?

Yes, various tests have been conducted on pheromones and androstenone in particular, and the results prove that androstenone pheromone is naturally desirable to women. Finding a legit cologne or aftershave with pheromone is the key. Many products falsely advertise, promising a product packed with androstenone pheromone and a guarantee to sleep with girl after girl. Colognes like Pherlure, Alpha-7 Scented, and Athena are proven pheromone products.

I've discovered that pheromone products really help the average young adult who is slightly shy and intimidated in the presence of a gorgeous woman. I feel more confidence and chatty, no longer afraid to start an engaging conversation. And what really sells the product? Pheromone products are generally cheaper and more effective then alcohol a substance that males often abuse in order to work up enough confidence around females. And the results prove that androstenone pheromone is naturally desirable to women

But pheromones go much deeper than simply being used as an attractant for humans to portray an air of irresistibility to the opposite sex. In fact, it's only been in the past couple of decades that pheromones were looked upon as a marketable product and savvy marketers have jumped on board the bandwagon in droves.

What Are Pheromones?

So the question of what are pheromones and how important are they in our day-to-day interaction with each other? Well, in a nutshell, pheromones are chemicals emitted and picked up by an organ called the VNO(Vomeronasal Organ). They basically convey a message to the opposite or same sex and try to trigger a response.

That's basically it in a nutshell but the burning question still being asked is do they really exist? Are pheromones real? Well, we know they are an important aspect of the animal and insect world with pheromones not only used to attract a mate but to warn of danger and as a means of capturing prey.

So if humans are considered part of the animal world then why would anyone doubt that they would play a major role in our daily interaction with each other?

In human terms, pheromones are still a relatively new experience and were only defined in 1959. Research since them has increased exponentially and it wasn't until 1986 when Dr. Winifred Cutler actually confirmed their existence through scientific research.

Dr. Cutler has been instrumental in us knowing and learning more about pheromones in our behavioral patterns and through the Athena Institute, she was able to establish a class of pheromones known as sex-attractant pheromones. And let's be realistic, as human beings, this is what we're really interested in.
