Sex pheromones, what are they and do humans have them? These are questions that have plagued the medical and scientific community for decades. Is there a chemical released by the human body that attracts members of the opposite sex, or are we a more visually and socially driven species? There is some interesting new data on sex pheromones that deserve extra consideration.
Pheromones
What are pheromones? In short, they are a colorless, odorless chemical released by a variety of species. There is more than one type of pheromone in the animal world and each has its own agenda. For example, bees excrete an alarm pheromone whenever the hive is threatened; this brings out the defense mode and results in the offending party being stung repeatedly.
According to http://buy-pheromones.org, when it comes to mating in the animal world, there is no doubt that pheromones play a significant role, among many species. Sea urchins, for instance, release a pheromone into the surrounding water that tells others urchins nearby to release their sex cells all at the same time. Of course, this is but one example in the animal kingdom there are many more!
Humans and Pheromones
Have you ever noticed that when a group of women are in close proximity for an extended period of time their menstrual cycles tend to sync? This is a pheromone driven response according to research done by Dr. Winifred Cutler. Within under arm sweat there is a scentless pheromone that causes this reaction, proven by scientific studies. This would tend to prove that humans have, excrete and react to pheromones despite the argument that humans do not have the receptor organ within the nose to detect pheromones.
Sex Pheromone Experiment
The same woman who co-discovered pheromones in women has developed a synthetic pheromone additive. It is reported to make the opposite sex more interested in the wearer, which is not an uncommon claim for these types of products. The difference with Dr. Cutler’s creation is the fact that it has been field tested by some of the biggest names in news. Twin experiments were conducted by ABC and FOX news to determine if adding pheromones had any effect on the opposite sex. The results were pretty outstanding, nearly a 3-1 difference.
Opponents to the pheromone theory state that humans lack the necessary receptor organ in the nose to detect pheromones, even if they are present. Current studies in mice may prove that assertion to be false as researchers have discovered they can detect pheromones with both their main smelling organ and vomeronasal organ (VNO) receptors.
Conclusion
Do humans have and react to pheromones excreted by others of our species? The research is ongoing but preliminary findings are supporting a pheromone connection. In the twins, studies mentioned above reporters were stunned by the added attention the twin wearing pheromone additives received. As can be expected the debate will rage on, as will the research but for now we can know there is some evidence that sex pheromones and others do exist in humans.
