Sorry ladies, you will be seduced, pheromone colognes now make it so that you cannot resist men’s advances, no matter how nasty the man wearing the cologne.
Wait, don’t panic. Unfortunately the pheromone marketing rage may be making us ignore an exciting discovery. . When you recover from your run in with Mr. Dealer, you are not going to think of vitamins in the same way as a person who had heard about vitamins from GNC or Vitamin World. I think the same thing is happening with marketers and pheromones. Holding that thought, let’s examine the pheromone.
A good number of people still think pheromones are no different from X-ray glasses you can buy in the back of comic books, while other people have been using them for years. We know for a fact, they are used a great deal by government agencies all over the world. Business uses them daily. You may even use them. Ok, I’m talking about insect and animal pheromones.
In the later seventies it was understood that the animal kingdom used pheromones for attracting members of the same species. Pheromones were being used to attract or repel bugs and animals. Pheromones were already protecting crops from injury. Roaches were checking in and not checking out. During this time research scientists were working hard to figure out and try and prove that humans created pheromones. Evidence was found but would not rise in the public mind until the middle of the eighties.
Human pheromones made front page news in 1986 when Researchers at the Monell Chemical Senses Center of Philadelphia released their findings to the scientific journal Hormones and Behavior, as well as to the public by way of:
- Time Magazine: “Studies find that male pheromones are good for women’s health.”
- News week: “The Chemistry Between People: Are Our Bodies Affected by Another Person’s Scent?”
- The Washington post: “Pheromones Discovered in Humans.”
The human pheromone was big news in the 1980s. During this time it was discovered that women’s health was linked to the male pheromone. It was shown that men’s pheromones assist in the preservation of a women’s health. To be more accurate, they keep a woman’s reproductive system healthy. A fit testosterone rich male pheromone signature somehow encouraged a woman’s body to hold itself fit and young. Pheromones can stabilize the menstrual cycle, and decrease the symptoms of PMS. .
How did we travel away from the pheromone research that was occurring in the eighties? Shouldn’t we by trying to use pheromones to give women a better life? Strike that. We should be using pheromone products to make people’s lives better. Helping to enable pheromone exploration that will gain more awareness connected to health and long life.
Attracting the opposite or even the same sex with pheromones is not a bad thing. I think that is up to you. In the case of pheromones I think we killed the message instead of the messenger. In fact many of the pheromone cologne products that are being sold today contain the very same pheromones that had shown so much of the health boosting benefits discovered in the 80s. However the whole thing is more or less seduction and there is no talk about the fact that it is good for females. It’s just sad to see a good thing, or possible good thing, be lost because of poor presentation.

Makes me wonder if part of the upsurge in the failure of marriages may be related to husbands living longer and having testosterone levels that taper off – could this cause a response in their wives at a subconscious and biological level that the men are no longer fit partners? Perhaps the lowered testosterone in the male is communicated to the female pheromonally and she is reacting negatively, the opposite of a positive response induced when purposefully wearing pheromones?
Might be a nice discussion in the boards, first time I’ve thought of this!
