Potent Pheromones can act as powerful aphrodisiacs ... for you!

Have you ever wondered how some people seem to get "lucky" more often than others? Or have you seen a couple just "hit it off" right away after meeting for the first time? Some people call it "great chemistry" but we know that part of what makes up this sensuous attraction to a member of the opposite sex is pheromones.

What are Pheromones?

Pheromones are chemicals that are secreted in our sweat (and other bodily fluids) that release neurotransmitters that are believed to directly modify the behavior of the opposite sex, such as triggering sexual excitement. Scientists have long hypothesized that these pheromones are natural sexual attractants that wield a powerful influence on their mating habits. In fact, many studies have shown that people who produce higher than average amounts of pheromones have greater success with members of the opposite sex.

Does that mean that when humans smell pheromones, we act like love-crazed tom-cats ready to pounce on any member of the opposite sex that happens to be nearby? Not exactly. The effects of pheromones on humans are more subtle, but nonetheless, powerful.  How powerful? Read below…

Pheromones act as natural sexual attractants

An article on WebMD cited a study which documented the sexual activity of men while using pheromones. The results of the study showed that users of pheromones had:

• increased frequency of dates
• increased frequency of affectionate gestures
• increased frequency of sleeping next to a romantic partner
• increased frequency of foreplay
• increased frequency of sexual intercourse

ABC’s 20/20 News recently tested the effectiveness of pheromones by sending a set of twins to a speed dating event and only giving pheromones to one twin in each set.  The results?  The twin wearing the pheromones received nearly twice as much interest and dates than the twin not wearing pheromones!

Scents That Attracts

Several controlled research suggested that attraction to the opposite-sex isn't only because of physical attraction, but mostly because of our olfactory senses. According to many scientists, humans are also known to secrete pheromones which is similar to what animals mostly use.

How does the opposite-sex attract you? Is it their eyes? Their smile? Their body? The way they walk? The way they stand? Is it their buttocks? Is their muscle? Is it their boobs? Or is it because of their smell? Believe it or not, many researchers have pointed out that attraction to the opposite-sex is mainly because of their smell. 

Several controlled research suggested that attraction to the opposite-sex isn't only because of physical attraction, but mostly because of our olfactory senses. According to many scientists, humans are also known to secrete pheromones which is similar to what animals mostly use. 

What are pheromones?

In the animal kingdom, pheromone works as a form of a social response. Typically in liquid form, animals and insects leave secretions of these chemicals as a way to give information to other animals or insects of the same species.

 These secretions or pheromones acts as a way to inform an animal or insect of the same species if the secreting individual is ready for mating or as a territorial sign. In human, pheromones are mostly known as a form of attraction.

Few well-controlled scientific studies have ever been published suggesting the possibility of pheromones in humans. According to many these researchers, pheromones in humans mostly works as a trigger for a chemical reaction to its receiver. 

Popular case of pheromone use involves the McClintock effect, in which women pheromones are said to trigger a special reaction in other women, such as their menstrual cycles.

Pheromones in the market

However, pheromones in humans are mostly known in the market as a form of attraction. Products such as nexus pheromones are used as a way for humans to attract the opposite-sex, such as males attracting the females and vice versa.  

However, according to many experts studying the effects of nexus pheromones, the effect of this type of pheromone is not only used to attract a potential mate, such as that in the animal kingdom, but also gives a competitive edge for many people. 

Using these kinds of human pheromones, other than the nexus pheromones, to attract the opposite-sex can also work in situations in which standing-out from among competition is important, such as in a job interview.

In job interviews, skills and experience is not the factor that allows an applicant to land in a position. According to manufacturers of these kinds of products, a person using specialized pheromone colognes can increase a human's attraction to its interviewer, allowing the interviewer to view this applicant differently from others.

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. 

Pheromones In Humans

Though pheromones in animals and insects are well documented, a number of researchers have also documented the use of human pheromones.

What is pheromones? Pheromones are a type of chemical excreted from the body, mostly by animals and insects, which then triggers a social response in members of the same species. According to many researchers, pheromones work outside the body which mostly affects the behavior of the receiving body. However, though pheromones in animals and insects are well documented, a number of researchers have also documented the use of human pheromones.

Pheromones in animals

Animals and insects are known for their heavily use of pheromones. Though animals and insects communicate through body language and noise, most of these animals, particularly with insects, communicate through smell, which is through the use of pheromones. 

Pheromones in animals and insects are very useful. According to many researchers, pheromones can be used in different types of social communications. Some of the most recognized forms of pheromones used by animals include: 

·         Territorial pheromones - These types of pheromones are secreted by animals and insects as a way to mark the boundaries of an organism's territory. Popular examples are the urine of dogs and cats. 

·         Trail pheromones - Popularity known in the insect world, this is used mostly as a way for other insects to have a path to follow. This is perfectly demonstrated among ants. 

·         Sex pheromones - These are mostly used by both animals and insects to signal an animal or an insect of the same species the availability of the female for breeding. 

Pheromones in humans

Though not as widely documented as the pheromones in animals and insects, a few well-controlled scientific studies have ever been published suggesting the possibility of human pheromones. According to their studies, pheromones in humans are mostly known for its use in attraction. There have been a number of studies regarding the sweat of humans. 

Studies demonstrated that male sweat are known for its content of pheromones which could be used to attract the opposite sex, which is the female. There have also been a number of pheromones used in the market in the form of a perfume which is also used as a way to attract the opposite sex. 

However, other than attraction, human pheromones are also known to trigger a special behavior to other humans. One example is the McClintock effect in which a whiff of perspiration from other women is said to cause menstrual cycles to speed up or slow down depending on the time in the month the sweat was collected.
