In the most basic terms, pheromones are chemicals that attract the opposite
sex.
A simple principle.... she smells you, she
wants you!
A sort of modern-age "love potion". Never mind if you can't spell the word (we've seen it spelled pheramone, pharamone, feramone, faramone, phernomone, etc.)
The
bottom line:
pheromones
work!
Pheromones are actually naturally occurring chemical compounds found in all insects, animals, and humans. When pheromones are secreted, they dictate sexual behavior and attract the opposite
sex.
Today,
there
are
many
pheromones
products
in
the
market.
The
most
popular
of
these
is
probably
the
Nexus
Pheromone,
as
seen
on
Dateline
NBC,
20/20,
ABC
News,
CNN,
The
New
York
Times,
The
Washington
Post,
and
Time
Magazine.
You
most
probably
wonder
what
these
pheromone
products
are
for!
The
word
pheromone
originates
from
the
Greek
words
"pherein"
(to
transfer)
and
"hormon"
(to
stimulate).
Coined
by
experts
Adolf
Butenandt
and
Peter
Karlson
in
1959,
this
term
describes
the
chemical
signals
among
living
organisms
that
elicit
response
from
the
physiology
or
behavior
of
other
members.
Pheromones
are
chemical
substances
generated
by
one
living
organism
and
are
transmitted
to
other
organisms
that
belong
in
one
species.
Pheromones
are
substances
that
usually
ignite
the
sexual
urge
among
animals
or
people.

In animals, pheromones are consciously detected over considerable distances and at times replace vocal communication. They help animals mark territory, recognize mates, and signal sexual interest. For example, female dogs in heat secrete pheromones and can attract male dogs from over a mile away.
Researchers have recently discovered that pheromones play a major role in the lives of humans. The primary pheromone that men and women secrete is androstenone. It appears that men and women secrete this pheromone only when they sweat. This of course is not the most desirable way to meet someone. What is so ironic, is that when men and women shower, they clean off their own natural pheromones. When we put on deodorant, we actually clog and mask the pores that secrete androstenone... our sweat glands.

In
connection
to
the
statement
above,
studies
show
that
human
beings
use
the
sense
of
smell
to
select
their
mates.
In
fact,
Swedish
experts
have
proven
that,
with
the
use
of
the
latest
brain
imaging
device,
both
homosexual
males
and
heterosexual
females
react
in
a
common
manner
when
they
are
sexually
aroused
by
male
odors.
Another
study
has
found
out
that
through
the
use
of
odor,
pheromones
have
the
ability
to
synchronize
the
menstrual
cycles
of
different
women.
With
pheromones,
the
female's
ovulation
can
either
shorten
or
lengthen
depending
on
the
signal
that
the
female
receives.
Scientists
call
this
process
the
McClintock
Effect.
Consequently,
various
companies
have
produced
pheromone
products
to
help
people
find
partners.
These
products
are
clinically
proven
formulations
that
attract
males
and
females.
Pheromone
products
are
created
specifically
for
men
to
allow
them
to
communicate
silently
to
women,
using
only
their
odors.
Some
males
use
these
products
by
blending
them
with
their
aftershaves.
The
Nexus
Pheromones,
for
example,
can
be
mixed
by
men
in
their
aftershaves
so
that
women
will
be
able
to
smell
their
scents
when
they
have
a
chance
to
get
close
to
women.
With
these
pheromone
products,
men
do
not
need
to
take
muscle
pills
or
waste
their
sweat
in
the
gym
anymore
just
to
improve
their
likeability;
all
they
need
is
a
simple
scent
produced
by
pheromones
products.
However,
men
must
not
rely
on
pheromones
products
alone
to
attract
women.
They
should
also
consider
the
importance
of
hygiene
and
appearance.
For
instance,
a
man
uses
Nexus
Pheromones
but
he
does
not
shower
everyday,
does
not
brush
his
teeth,
and
dresses
up
like
a
filthy
street
beggar.
Do
you
think
this
kind
of
look
will
attract
women?
Certainly
not,
because
women
prefer
both
good-smelling
and
good-looking
men.
Simply
put,
pheromones
products
can
help
men
lure
women,
but
the
end
result
also
depends
on
the
man's
presentation
of
himself.
The
aforementioned
scientific
discoveries
and
explanations
may
seem
to
be
so
simple
that
a
lot
of
people
already
believe
in
the
'mysterious'
works
of
pheromones
to
the
body,
specifically
factors
that
influence
the
attraction
between
human
beings.
Indeed,
with
the
use
of
vomeronasal
organs
and
pheromones,
people
often
find
themselves
attracted
to
someone
they
do
not
even
know.
Probably,
this
is
the
reason
for
that
thing
called
"chemistry,"
but
whatever
label
people
attach
to
this
kind
of
attraction,
one
thing
is
for
sure:
the
effect
that
pheromones
bring
is
not
mere
speculation
but
a
proven
fact.
