Pheromones: The Real Love Potion

There have been many comics, TV shows and movies about love potions. Whether a teenage witch was buying one from the other realm or a dopey female character was buying one from a fake fortune teller, you’ve probably seen or read about love potions dozens of times.

Have you ever wondered if they are real? Have you ever thought about how you would use your very own love potion? Who you’d want to secretly slip the love potion to? These are just a few of the questions that spring to mind when we see love potions on the big screen.

What is a love potion exactly?
A love potion is, quite simply, a potion that makes someone fall in love with you. In most scenarios, the potion is used to seduce someone otherwise unattainable. In popular sitcoms, love potions allow the quiet teenage boys to nab the most popular girl in school or allow the geeky girls to date the captain of the football team.

The magic formula that makes men and women fall in love. That’s exactly how love potions are depicted in the media. Often, seemingly magical beings are the ones selling the potions. You know, fortune tellers, witches and warlocks.

Where can I find some?
Of course, love potions are not real. There is no such thing as a magic formula that makes someone fall in love with you against their will. As unfortunate as it might seem at times, falling in love is not something we can control.

That is not to say that there has been a lack of searching. People have searched far and wide for a real, authentic love potion. Many have experimented with different chemicals and ingredients in hopes of developing their very own love potion. While, for many, the search continues, a love potion simply does not exist in the way it is perceived in movies and on TV.

Has anyone come close to a love potion?
The closest discovery to date that we know of is the power of human pheromones.

Pheromones are the chemicals that exist in our sweat and other bodily fluids. These chemicals release signals to the brain that scientists believe modify the behavior of men and women. For example, pheromones are linked to the increase in sexual interest and excitement.

While they might not completely overpower the brain or lead to eternal love at first sight, they do improve your game with the opposite sex. Many pheromone users report having improved chemistry with partners and hitting it off wonderfully with new love interests.

How do pheromones work?
Let’s get the scientific explanation out of the way. Pheromones exist within human sweat glands and are secreted in our bodily fluids. These chemicals cause neurotransmitters to modify the behavior of the opposite sex. In other words, the pheromones send messages to the brains of the opposite sex. The messages read loud and clear: "We’re interested."

Aren’t they just a myth too?
Actually, studies have shown that people who produce high levels of pheromones have greater success with members of the opposite sex. Sounds great, right? What sets pheromones apart from the fictional love potion is that they are natural sexual attractants. They have a very natural, organic influence on mating habits.

Love Potions

Believe it or not, love potions do exist in this world. The only difference is that it is more scientific than magical as depicted by J.K. Rowling.

Love potions have been a popular topic in many popular fantasy novels, bedtime stories, as well as in artworks. It is usually depicted as a mixture of solutions made by witches or alchemists/potioneers to induce severe infatuation or obsession to anyone who smelled or drank the solution to the one that gave him/her the potion.

A popular example of the use and effect of love potions is in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, most particularly in The Half-Blood Prince (book) in which Voldemort’s mother, Merope Gaunt, used a love potion to attract Tom Riddle Sr., Voldemort’s father. This only lasted when Merope stopped using the potion to attract Riddle. It was also in the same book when Ron Weasley was affected by a love potion.

But believe it or not, love potions do exist in reality. The only difference is that it is more scientific than magical as depicted in novels.

Love Potions in the Real World

Love potions in this world are known as human pheromones. Although pheromones are usually found and discussed in animals, humans are also known to produce pheromones which also acts the same way pheromones work in the animal kingdom, sexual attraction.

Research of Human Pheromones

Countless research was done involving the effects of human pheromones over the years. One popular effect that scientists have found is that it greatly affected menstrual cycles in women.

According to several studies, a woman’s sweat can greatly affect other women’s menstrual cycles. Its effects involve menstrual cycles to speed up or slow down depending on the time in the month the sweat was collected: before, during, or after ovulation.

But other than in menstrual cycles, human pheromones can also act as aphrodisiacs which can be used for sexual attractions.

How Love Potions Work in Reality

Similar to love potions in Harry Potter, pheromones are also known to exude an aroma which is said to affect the behavior of the opposite sex. The only difference is that pheromones only work through the olfactory senses rather than drinking or consuming the solution, such as in the case of Merope Guant and in Ron Weasley, and that pheromones are used to heighten the opposite sex’ sexual urge rather than to induce infatuation.

According to scientists, different humans exude different quantities of pheromones. The more pheromone a man or a woman exudes, the more attractive they can get. The sad thing is, there are also people who exude smaller quantities of pheromones.

It is because of this that a number of products were introduced around the world which aims to produce larger amounts of pheromones which will enable a man, or even a woman, to attract the opposite sex as easily as others have done. One popular example is LuvEssential’s collection of pheromones which have been successful in their efforts to help their clients to receive more one-night stands than the average Joe.

Love Potions in the Market

Like the Weasley Brothers, many companies have started to sell their own versions of love potions which will enable men and women to increase their sexual attraction over the opposite sex. LuvEssentials is one of the very few who have successfully marketed their product all over the world in an effort to provide people the chance to feel more sexually attractive, allowing them to have the privileges of one-night-stands and the attention of the opposite sex.
