We all have a natural scent which plays a big part when it comes to our attraction to the opposite sex, known as pheromone, these are masses of biological chemicals that are released through human saliva, sweat, and tears. Many believe these pheromones are responsible for our attraction to the opposite sex and our search for a mating partner. These aromas that we release convey signals relating to mood, status, drive and health in the subconscious awareness of the opposite sex.
In the animal kingdom the dominant male will exude more of these biological attractants than his more submissive counterpart, so subsequently he attracts more females and enjoys more conquests as a result. These pheromones can be detected over great distances and replace verbal communications in some instances. This is particularly noticeable in animals who often identify potential partners by smell, with a male dog having the ability to identify a bitch in heat over a distance of a mile or more. However, is there really a similar effect between humans when it comes to pheromones and attraction or is there an alternative explanation?
Unfortunately there is little to prove this either way but many studies do suggest it is entirely possible. As most of us are oblivious to the natural scents we emanate, it has been suggested that we need to look more at our capacity to sense them in others. Sweat may be one of the least attractive body odours, but studies have considered that this is what the opposite sex responds to subconsciously while others advocate that perfume with artificially produced pheromones in it, will attract more attention from the opposite sex for the wearer.
This may not seem quite such a turn on but many are equally skeptical these manufactured perfumes and colognes supposedly designed to produce the same effects. While human sweat may not be your aroma of choice, it really does play an important role when linking pheromones and attraction. Men unknowingly secrete a hormone called Androstenone which attracts women but only release this when they sweat. Body odours may seem an unpleasant way to attract mates but most of us clog and mask the pores secreting the scent when we apply deodorant. On the other hand, we may still recognise these natural scents even though we do not appear to detect them on a conscious level.
