The Mystery of Pheromones
You've just met a boy who has absolutely captivated you. However, you
are mystified by this attraction. In fact, he isn't particularly good-
looking, but there is something about him that intrigues you. There is
something about this person that is magnetic and draws you to him.
Could it be that you're being drawn in by his sly pheromones?
Enticing Odors
Pheromones are part of the odor that humans produce, according to
Neuroendocrinologyletters.edu. Human beings produce higher amounts of
odor than do other primates. The odors are produced by urine, genital
secretions, saliva and the skin, including sweat. A pheromone acts as
a molecular messenger. It is a conduit for transmitting information
among the members of the same species.
Glands Produce Pheromones
The aprocrine glands of the skin are linked to pheromone production.
In addition, other glandular secretions, as well as skin flora that is
evident in moist areas of the body--such as in the genitals, mouth or
feet--are associated with phermone production, according to
Neuroendocrinologyletters.edu. The apocrine glands are found
predominately in the armpits but also in the genitals, the breasts and
the areola and around the belly button. These glands are found where
there is hair. The underarms or the axillae are considered an
independent odor-producing organ.
No Smell Initially
Aprocine glands develop along with the rest of us while in utero;
however, they don't become functional until we go through puberty,
which indicates how closely aprocine function is related to the sex
hormones, which are dormant before puberty. The aprocrine secretions
initially have no smell but eventually are turned into an odor via
microorganisms that exchange vital chemical signals.
Are We Too Clean For Our Own Good?
Ironically, pheromone intensity is sometimes wiped out due to our
obsession over cleanliness, according to Cas.bellarmine.edu, which
claims that pheromones, which are natural scents and are integral to
sexual attraction, have fallen victim to the bathroom, where we wash
and deodorize excessively. Humans and animals alike release chemicals
that smell and are supposed to in order to attract a sexual partner.
The smells come from our sweat, saliva and even our tears. Without
saying a word, these odors can define our awareness of the opposite
sex, our intention, our mood and our health and energy. Virile men
will emit more pheromones than a meeker male.
Musk
According to an article written by David Wolfgang-Kimball that appears
on Anapsid.org/pheromones.org, boys emit musky odors, and girls,
particularly those who are ovulating, are highly sensitive, and
responsive, to musk. The higher the girl's estrogen level, the higher
her susceptibility to musk. Consequently, musky odors or fragrances
are considered to be pheromones because they attract the opposite sex.
Too Much .... Not So Good
If overproduced, the odors created by pheromones can become offensive
and certainly not anything that is going to attract a member of the
opposite sex. In fact, they may be a complete turn-off.
