The Benefits of Pheromone Oil
Pheromones are chemicals released in a variety of ways by
animals to communicate something to other animals of the same
species. This message may be, "I'm ready to mate," or "Stay away
from my territory," or "Watch out, there is a predator near by."
All animals from small insects to large fish seem to have the
ability to produce and perceive these powerful chemical
messengers.
In humans, pheromones are controversial in scientific circles.
Some claim that humans no longer have the need or capacity to
detect pheromones while others say that humans do detect and are
affected by pheromones in many powerful ways. For instance, it
has been shown that human females will respond to the continual
presence of human males by an increase in fertility and
regulation of their menstrual cycle.
Pheromones can be synthesized and made into pheromone oil that
can be topically applied. These oils are sold by companies
claiming that they will help you seem more attractive to members
of the opposite sex, more respected by members of the same sex,
calmer or happier. One scientific study showed that users of
pheromone oils experienced a 50-70% over base increase in
sociosexual behavior when using the human "sex pheromones,"
androstenedione and estratetraenol. Though these claims are
still in dispute in academic worlds, some consumers claim that
pheromone oils can and do work.
Available in both scented and unscented varieties, pheromone oil
is a popular choice among singles looking for an extra edge in
the dating game and among couples to add some spice to their
love life. You can find pheromone oil and related products
online and in specialty stores.
Like any product, be sure to check the background of the company
so you don't just get a fancy smelling massage lotion that
doesn't have a trace of synthesized pheromones.
