The Truth About Human Pheromones And Sexual Attraction

There seems to be an argument brewing on the topic of human pheromones and sexual attraction between the scientific and marketing world.

The human pheromones market has become huge in recent years as savvy marketers realized the potential in promoting them as a sexual attraction aid. Do they work? Again, the debate continues to rage.

Human Pheromones

While scientific research established a connection between human behavior and pheromones in some respects several decades ago, they don't usually consider the presence of pheromones as having as big an impact as it does in the animal world.

Animals, for instance, rely heavily upon smell, while humans do not. Sex pheromones in animals are much more important when it comes to sexual attraction. Humans just do not rely that heavily on their sense of smell, so the importance of human pheromones is minimal.

Marketing Human Pheromones

Now if you ask those who are making a buck from peddling pheromone products then there is no doubt they work. And many are prepared to "put their money where their mouths are."

It's an interesting debate. The argument marketers will use and to a certain extent, and it's very valid, is the scientific crowd can at times be a little conservative.

The manufacturers say they have proof that human pheromones and sexual attraction are linked. They show customers who buy again and again and will testify that the pheromones work. They also claim research into the link between human pheromones and sexual attraction that have been conducted in their labs.

Are human pheromones worth the expense? Sure they are. However, you've got to remember that while human pheromones and sexual attraction may be linked, pheromones on their own won't get you past first base with the opposite sex.

Yes, you'll get noticed but then you need to work your charms. That's the idea of using a pheromone-enhanced product. As a form of attraction. But that's another story for another time.
