Pheromones are odors released from your glands to attract the opposite sex. Natural pheromones are best enjoyed after a person takes a shower (sweat is not a pheromone producer - rather pheromone killer). The magazine, "Psychology Today" had an article about how we select our sexual partners by their natural smell. Women have different cycles of smelling desires. A pregnant women (or on Birth Control) will select a man who's similar to her family (dad & brothers) for the security and familiarity. This is dangerious, because her true mate is someone who smells completly different than her family (natures way of supporting the NO incest); and when she's not pregnant (or off birth control), then she'll be repelled by the man who smells like her family.
A few perfume companies have created this smell and have it as the lure for their perfume (check our Relm for women --- or men). I hate the smell of Relm & mix it with my other stufff ... and it does seem to attract more men.

Pheromones are chemicals used to attract possible mates. I think they could work for humans except we cover them up with deodorants, douches, feminine sprays, foot sprays and general over-washing of the human body.

They are substances excreted by special glands. They are said to be for attracting the opposite sex and yes I beleive they do work.

naturally occuring chemicals that can affect behavior. supposedly, in people they can, but it's more likely advertising bs.
