Pheromones: All You Should Know About Them

By Andrew John

Pheromones are chemical signals sent by our body via scent. They are hormone derivatives that communicate about the current status of our bodies: the effectiveness of our immune system, our fertility potential as well as our how much we are interested in love at the moment. An important thing about pheromones is that they affect the instincts, surpassing the higher brain functions. If you give out the right signals, members of the opposite sex will start to show interest in you even though they will have no idea what is so interesting about you.

Here's how it works: our skin releases chemicals that are then intercepted by others when smelled. Then, an organ known as VNO (Vomeronasal Organ) detects and decodes them independently of other parts of the nasal passage. Because of that, the strength of attraction does not rely on any specific type of smell.

While our bodies give off pheromones all the time, their existence and finding practical uses for pheromones are brand new discoveries. For instance, the discovery of Vomeronasal Organ is only a few years old.

During the centuries of civilisation, we made our best to get rid of pheromones from the air. We take showers, we use deodorants and aftershaves and then we cover most of our bodies with clothes preventing pheromones from getting into air and then wash the clothes before they can give off stored pheromones into air. What is more, the level of pheromones we give off is probably now seriously reduced compared to several centuries ago as civilisations put a lot of effort to reduce the role of instinctive reactions in finding a mate. However, the role of pheromones is extremely important both in inciting sexual attraction and general warm feeling towards an individual. And that's where pheromone colognes come in: they do not only replace pheromones we washed off, but also help to communicate with others on chemical and subconscious level. People will just feel good if they were around you without even realizing why they feel that way.

How long do they last? This varies a great deal depending on each person's individual chemistry and the particular scent they choose. One of the best product, Nexus Pheromones, says its pheromone-based cologne lasts approximately 8 to 10 hours when applied on appropriate spots. Are all pheromone products about the same? No, definitely not. They're all quite different, and the savvy consumer should always shop carefully. You should look for a product that contains pure androstenone pheromone concentrate preferably in "double strength" potency. If you are having trouble finding the right product, we recommend you consider Nexus Pheromones. Also, be careful of what you're paying for: be sure to compare package sizes when you buy. Some companies put as little as 10ml in a bottle while charging a hefty price. Can I order and still maintain my privacy? A good company will ship discreetly with nothing on the package to identify the precise contents. If you aren't sure, ask before you order, though you won't need to if you are looking at a good product.

The good things about pheromones are that they may give you an edge you need to do what you have always wanted to do and achieve all the goals you wanted to achieve, but had no self-confidence to do that. People who use pheromones can expect getting more popular among the opposite sex, being considered sexier and everything that is related to that. When you are considered sexy and popular, the number of dates and (hopefully) sexual intercourses will grow and the quality of lovemaking will also go up. As pheromones have also non-sex related effects, you can expect that people will show you more attention both at home and at work with all the good stuff such popularity brings. - 15784
