The Pheromone Story . How it works

You've probably heard something about pheromones on the National Geographic Channel, The Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, Animal Planet, or even TV newsmagazine shows. They're hormones that animals (including humans) produce and emit. Pheromones have no consciously perceptible smell, yet trigger a powerful, primal sexual response deep within the brain of those who come into contact with them.

Once subconsciously detected in the brains, pheromones telegraph information about your immune system, your fertility, your current level of arousal, and more. Some of these pheromones target the opposite sex, and naturally trigger arousal and attraction. With the right set of pheromone signals, a human female will automatically, instinctively respond. Often without even realizing why.

There are many pheromone types in the animal kingdom, yet Pheroline focuses on 3 specific types of pheromones which are classified as sexual human pheromones

Androstenone (5alpha-androst-16-en-3-one) Androstenone is common among humans. This pheromone, found in both men and women, is predominantly known as a male pheromone. This is because it typically creates a dominant, aggressive aura. Therefore, it appears to project an aggressive alpha impression (either alpha male or female), which might help you to become the center of attention and be noticed more. Since alpha aggressiveness is often associated with sex and good mate choice, this pheromone can create a sexual vibe and increase sexual tension. Androstenone has also been known to cause people to act more respectfully and polite to the wearer.

Alpha-Androstenol (5alpha-androst-16-en-3-ol) The alpha isomer of Androstenol creates a friendly, approachable impression. It seems to be more of a neurotic, chatty pheromone, touching more on empathy and romantic feelings. Androstenol also creates an aura of youth and health that can help to create an impression of reproductive fitness, which is attractive. The primary reported response to Androstenol has been an increase in chattiness and friendliness from the opposite sex, but as mentioned above, it is also increase sexual attractiveness. It has been referred to as an "ice-breaker" pheromone

Androstadienone (delta 4,16-androstadien-3-one) This is a pheromone that is widely documented to have a very specific effect on the brain activity of women. One particular study has shown that it affects the attention and social cognition areas of the brain. It is also one of the only pheromones that has been shown to stimulate the VNO (vomeronasal organ). Androstadienone, more commonly known as A1, is a very popular pheromone, one of it’s more remarkable effects is that it can elevate a woman’s mood, and even alleviate PMS stress! It has been known to increase intimacy and comfort, and can also increase caring feelings. It has been called the “love pheromone” because of the nature of the feelings and reactions it induces in women, and also because of it’s usefulness in more cozy relationship situations.

Pheromones fit into a category of chemical sensing that is very similar to the way we smell, called olfaction. However, it is believed that pheromones are detected and processed by an accessory olfactory system. In mammals, this is the Vomeronasal System. This consists of vomeronasal pits located in the nose, at the bottom of which sits the Vomeronasal Organ (VNO), where specialized cells for detecting pheromones are situated. From here, signals are sent by neurons (nerves) to the VNO bulbs, which is the part of the brain responsible for processing the information is relayed by the pheromones and incites a response. Most pheromone signals will end up at the hypothalamus. Interestingly, the epithelium of sensory cells in the nose is sometimes referred to as an extension of the brain because of their location and the way the signals are processed.

The Pheromones Story

For over 200 years, scientific and medical researchers had suspected that airborne chemical compounds played some role in the attraction and mating rituals of insects and animals. A Danish physician named Jacobson even detected likely organs for this purpose in the human nose, but he assumed that evolution had rendered them non-functional.

The first pheromone ever conclusively identified (in 1956) was an extremely potent sexual attractant for silkworm moths. It took German researchers extracting glands from the abdomens of 500,000 female moths over a 20-year period to isolate this compound, called bombykol. It signaled, "come to me!" from great distances. "It has been soberly calculated that if a single female moth were to release all the bombykol in her sac in a single spray, all at once, she could theoretically attract a trillion males in the instant," wrote Lewis Thomas in The Lives of a Cell.

Isolating pheromones in mammals (which includes you and me) proved to be a much more complex challenge.

But by the late 1970s, animal pheromones had become well enough understood to market commercially as a lure to attract and divert animals into traps before they could damage crops or flowers. Finally, in 1986, sufficient research had been done on the subject of human pheromones for peer-reviewed articles to be published in respected scientific journals.

It was around this time that the mass media caught wind of human pheromones. Stories began appearing in publications like Time, Newsweek, US News & World Report, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, as well as nearly every network TV newsmagazine show.

The human male pheromone, androstenone, was first scientifically isolated in an extremely un-sexy substance: sweat. So the irony is that showering washes our natural pheromone away. Deodorants cover it up-also not good.

Clinical research studies conducted by scientists have shown that human male pheromones trigger a subconscious, biological sexual response in women. Pheromones are odorless and consciously undetectable to the human nose, but since women have a better sense of smell, they pick up male human pheromones right away (without really being aware of why) and become instantly sexually attracted to the owner of these pheromones. Male human pheromones open the door of attraction and sex with virtually any woman. They won't know you're wearing them, but subconsciously, these pheromones will communicate you are sexually attractive and stimulate lustful desires in women.

Ever meet someone and instantly feel some incredible chemistry? It doesn't happen every day, but when it does, your're experiencing pheromones at work. Send out that chemical message of lust to females and they will crave you, desire you, and want to get to know you better. Your eye contact with woman will improve dramatically. Women will even gather around your vicinity without being aware of why. Watch the difference. It really works.
