Scents and Pheromones
|
Scents and Pheromones Alright, I'm back and refocused. Although I still wouldn't mind a little TLC. If there are any volunteers out there let me know.   Ok now to my point. While my mind was wandering and unfocused one of the things that popped in there was scent related. Namely the scent of an excited woman. Then I started wondering who scents might affect arousal. If they didn't then what would be the point of perfume and cologne. When I thought about it for a while I eventually thought about<b> pheromones </font></b>(remember I was a bit unfocused so it took me a little longer to wrap my head around something). Specifically sex<b> pheromones </font></b>(there are several different types in nature). Pheromones being a secondary sex characteristic (we release them when we get excited) have been the subject of many studies and debates. But do they work? Well I would say to a point yes. Before I started my current job I worked at a restaurant. For awhile there was one woman there that might have had a bit of a thing for me (which in typical me fashion I only realize in retrospect, but that is beside the point). One night I was doing dishes and she popped back there while I was collecting some to put away. She got up close and said something to the effect of what is that cologne your wearing. And told me how much she liked it. Well I wasn't wearing any, I have a very sensitive nose and so I don't like wearing a lot of that stuff (I did have deodorant on but that was it). I told her this but she persisted for a minute that she liked it and wanted to know what it was. Eventually she pressed up against me a bit and playfully bit my shoulder. Me not expecting it jumped and dropped the dishes. But if you believe what she said (keeping in mind I typically was walking around in a state of at least mild arousal (ok so maybe that hasn't changed. ).Another thought I had. Have you ever walked into a room after someone had sex in it? Ever noticed that distinct smell, that musky lubie smell that is left behind after a good role in the hay? Ever notice that you get a little aroused when you smell it? Left over sex<b> pheromones. </font></b>At least that is my half baked theory. Pheromones wont cause the opposite sex to jump you and start humping like a dog, but they supposedly help initiate arousal. So have you ever noticed a link between smell and arousal? Do you have a favorite colon or perfume that you like to smell or wear when your looking for a little nookie? More general what are some of your favorite smells? |

I will give you the bottom line on the scientific research to date on pheromones. In a nutshell, there are currently 2 schools of thought in the scientific community: 1. They really don't know, scientifically speaking, due to insufficient clinical research; 2. Pheromones in fact do "something," to "some people," but they don't really know to "what extent," nor "why" some people respond to them and others do not. We do know that humans have receptors capable of detecting pheromones, like most animals do. However, whether these receptors are still functional, and to what extent, is the real question. Clinical studies simply lack the technology at this time to effectively determine what is happening on a physiological level when most humans are exposed to pheromones. That being said, I still wanted an answer to this question myself, so I used the empirical scientific method to satisfy my curiosity, and answer a question that the scientific community does not yet have agreement on. Simply put, the empirical method is by definition, "depending upon experience or observation alone, without using scientific method or theory, esp. as in medicine." If you wish to read about the tests I conducted, see the Related Links. I must admit I was not a believer in pheromones doing much of anything prior to starting my little test. But I was wrong: pheromone products do cause a response in the opposite sex. In my evaluation the odds were actually 7 out 10 women did respond, some mildly, and other aggressively. Let me say this. NOT ALL PHEROMONE PRODUCTS WORK! As I found out myself, some of these products smell like cheap cologne, with a big price tag, and do NOTHING! Out of the ten pheromone products that I tried, only 4 produced the typical result that all pheromone merchants advertise! Only 4 out of 10! And of those 4, only 3 were truly noteworthy, and produced strong reactions from females around me, during my test day in which I wore all three products together. In short, "they cannot explain the why, or the hows," yet! But there is no way to simply discount observation, or simply "how people suddenly respond when you use the stuff!" No one has been able to explain this part of the equation away yet. Certain pheromone products clearly do "something." We may not know why, but they still do "something." What you decide to do is up to you. However, I would review pheromone information you are looking for. Here as there, I wont try to play the clinical researcher, but I will assure you the evaluation I did on my own was real, the responses were real, no one can seem to explain this part away. Do your follow-up research, and good luck!

Interesting post, HG. I am going to put it on my Hump Day list if you don't mind. The comment by BloggingFool is also very interesting. ***

my favorite smell on a man ..... irish spring soap. Oh there are colognes out there that could potentially turn me into a stalker, but a freshly showered man wins out every time. I bought some pheromones once out of curiosity. I the proceeded to smell bubble gum (no kidding) every time I got a whiff of myself. If only I was 10 again  The most important thing you can wear is the expression on your face!

I bought some Pheromones back when I was more shy. I didn't notice so much of an effect on others, but I did notice a real difference in myself. I felt more confident. Now that I have more orgasms I do notice a very definite difference in the way men react to me. I keep thinking I am putting off something. I even had an odd experience at a family get together where family members (men & women) kept coming up to me & wanting to confide about the sex lives to me. I can't begin to tell you how incredibly crazy & from left field that was. I don't know if I am producing more pheromones with all the sex now or if others are reacting to the increased confidence I feel from all the sex.

Another aspect on this is when you start dating someone. It seems that when this happens everyone comes out of the closet and wants to date you also and I think it's because of the natural pheromones your body is releasing because this is new and exciting. Just a thought.

all I know is once I had a lover that just the scent of him made me go crazy !! I smoke so these days my sense of smell has diminished so much I can't smell many things any longer  its my fault I know.

i enjoy the clean scent of a man when he comes out of the shower.. the client wore a particular cologne and whenever I smelt it anywhere, it was like Pavlov's dog..the urge to have sex hit me hard (one day he tucked a pair of his briefs sprayed with the cologne in my briefcase and that drove me nuts..lol) so guess there is something about scents.. Captivate my mind...and who knows what will follow. Discover more of my ramblings at [blog geysergirl]
