heromones are essentially chemical messengers
released by animals that affect other animals. Usually they serve to
communicate something about territory, reproduction and caring of offspring,
the presence of danger, or even the presence of a rival. All animals
from insects to humans have pheromones and they have a powerful effect
on behavior. Pheromones have even been classified based on their uses
into three classes:Primer
pheromones shift the hormonal balance in the receiver; releaser
pheromones produce specific behavior patterns like avoidance or
attraction; finally, information pheromones convey information about
the producer to the receiver, including health, fertility, et cetera.Human
pheromones are continuously studied by scientists in an effort to
understand the extent to which they affect us. Some scientists claim
that the organ responsible for detecting pheromones in most mammals,
the vomeronasal organ, is almost nonexistent in humans and that we have
evolved to the point where humans no longer use these chemical odor signals. Other scientists dispute this with evidence from experiments
that human pheromones have a powerful effect on other humans and can
change the ovulation cycle of women and perceived attractiveness of
potential mates. Experiments using male sweat have shown that human
females react to male pheromones by increasing their fertile cycles and
delaying the onset of menopause. Synthesized
human pheromones like androstenedione and estratetraenol, used
topically, have been studied and shown to significantly increase the
frequency of sociosexual behavior in participants using the pheromones
as opposed to the placebo. These results have helped launch a variety
of products claiming to have a put a "pheromone to attract women" in a
bottle or vice versa. Some of these products are undoubtedly simply
fragrant water, but others that actually contain synthesized pheromones
have been purported to work effectively. The caveat seems to be that
their effects are dependent on psychological
and social factors that also strongly influence human behavior. Perhaps
the confidence boost that pheromone wearers have is what makes them
seem more attractive to potential mates, not the chemicals themselves. The
debate over the extent to which human pheromones affect human behavior
continues, and like many scientific puzzles, studies seem to contradict
each other. Moreover, human behavior, a thing affected by a variety of
factors, does not lend itself easily scientific studies easily.Human Pheromones
