Pheromones by Kaymania(m): 4:57pm On Nov 13, 2014
I just think you guys should know more/something about Pheromone.

What Triggers the Natural Release of Pheromones in Humans?
There are countless ways that human beings interact without ever speaking to each other, and without physical contact. Body language is a well-established form of communication between people, but there are subtler ways of communication that can still have a powerful hold over our physiological responses and attractions to other people. One such method of communication is pheromones. Although synthetic pheromones will do the trick, it’s also useful to try to kick-start one’s natural pheromones. Here’s what you need to know about the physiological effects of pheromones and how to trigger the natural release of pheromones in human beings.

What Are Pheromones and Do Human Beings Have Them?
Pheromones are odorous and unpredictable substances that are released by people or animals, and then detected by another person or animal, causing a variety of physiological reactions. These physiological reactions can manifest themselves in a variety of ways, as some pheromones regulate sexual activity or desire, some modulate aggression, and in the animal world, some pheromones even play a role in territorial marking. Because of the unpredictable nature of the way pheromones work, people may respond to them in a number of ways. Pheromones have been observed in a large number of organisms, from amoebas to primates, which has prompted a number of studies into how humans interact in terms of hormonal reception and release. Humans are extremely dependent on visual cues, but when people are in close proximity, olfactory or scent signals can play a big role in sexual behaviors.

Three Different Kinds of Human Hormones Affected by Pheromones:
Pheromones in humans are triggered and received in a variety of different ways because there are a variety of hormones and hormonal reactions associated with different pheromones. Studies on the subject of human pheromones have concentrated on three types of pheromones: vomeronasal organ stimulators, vaginal aliphatic acids, and axillary steroids.
The axillary steroids are produced by the testes, ovaries, apocrine and adrenal glands, and are not active until puberty. Vaginal aliphatic acids are found in vaginal secretions, and there are six known types of these secretions called “copulins” that have been found in humans. An estimated one-third of females have these acids that are primarily used to signal ovulation, however, scientists believe that these acids may be present for reasons other than sexual communication. The human vomeronasal organ (VNO) has epithelia which may allow the VNO to serve as a chemical sensory organ, though scientists have yet to establish a clear link between the VNO and the central nervous system.

How Are Pheromones Triggered in Humans?
Pheromones in humans could be triggered by a variety of causes. Much of the scientific study that has been done on pheromones has had to do with sexual activity, as the triggers and causes of pheromones with respect to finding suitable reproductive mates has been well documented in countless animals, insects and even plants. In humans it is widely agreed upon that if pheromones do affect our physiological processes, it is most likely related to glands or hormones, and the various secretions these or other organs produce. Human beings have long been concerned with how we smell, and how we smell tends to have a significant effect on the sexual or social partners we choose, and who chooses to be with us. Some scientists point to areas of the body like the pubic or genital region and the underarms as the sources for these odors that trigger hormonal reactions in others. It is believed that pheromones are initially triggered by the primal need to find a suitable mate, or simply to express our desire for another person.
Pheromones are complex and mysterious, and scientists still don’t have a full understanding of how human pheromones work. What is known is that human pheromones are most likely triggered by sexual phenomena such as the desire to find a mate. If you’re looking to gain an advantage in the dating game, synthetic pheromones may give you the edge you want.
