Is there such a thing? Do we release or sense chemicals that attract the opposite sex?

Pheromones are released by mainly insects, to mark territory, attract mates, to alarm others, etc. Of course, some mammals do release pheromones, to mainly mark territory and get mates.
Human horomones cause moods and minds that attract us to the opposite sex. Usually happens during puberty.

Yes, definitely. Men and women choose a partner, not based on looks, but on something quite different. Pheromones are natural chemical scents that the body produces to attract the opposite sex. It's been known for some time that pheromones control social behavior (which includes mating)in the animal kingdom. Only recently has it been discovered that humans also emit pheromones, which is why we are attracted to some people and not others.

Probably everywhere except for Brokeback Mountain. Apparently you release chemicals to attract the same sex there.

There is definitely such a thing and when you find it (with the right person, of course..........), it can be amazing!!!!!! I believe it's something we can sense. If it's there, you will feel it all over. Once that time comes, you will certainly know it!!!

Sexual chemistry!!! is nothing but ethical- non-ethical relationship between, Man-Women, Women-Women, Man-man, it's too complex it you try to see inmost core. Sexually attraction, repulsion, requirement, real process, reproduction, etc. is quite complex process which is difficult to understand for normal person, without deep study, So, Chemistry is generally word use to designate, complexity, subtle, tangibleness. So, word "Chemistry" is denoting the nature of complexity of process.
