Animals have strong phermones to draw the opposite sex?

Question

Do humans have strong phermones too...? lol. Like can we attract people, just by the "smell" we give off?

Answer 1

Hm. Depends on your definition of 'strong' and 'draw', I suppose. Nothing we have will mesmerize a mate and cause them to think only of sex. Humans are, after all, more complicated than insects, and a bit less prone to control by instinct alone.

But yes, humans have smells that are identified as attractive and sexually stimulating by possible mates. We do not have anything specialized for this purpose... sweat for the most part is what we use.

Interestingly enough, some studies have suggested that the greater the genetic difference the stronger this attraction generally is. Which makes sence from an evolutionary standpoint - greater genetic diversity is the whole point of sexual reproduction. It may also help to explain why most people don't see their relatives as viable sexual partners.

Answer 2

Yes humans do give off pheremones and some give off very strong pheremones the thing is not all people have the receptor sites for them so not everyone is affected by them. With out getting to detailed the National geographic did an experiemtent on phemremones and explained that women seem to be more responsive to the pheremone chemicals than men because women have more sensory receptor site for them; so women get attracted by them more then men. Hot spots for pheremones smells are usually found in the neck and in the pubic region.
