Pheromones for men

introduction

Pheromones for men are messenger substances that should be absorbed by women in order to make them look more attractive and masculine. "Man" hopes that this will give him a better chance of choosing a partner and an increase in sexual attraction to the chosen candidate.

The word “pheromone” comes from the Greek and means something like “carrier of excitation”, which also describes the mode of action. The woman should be positively influenced by the messenger substance and perceive the affected man as more attractive.

How do pheromones work?

A pheromone is a messenger substance that is used to relay information between two individuals of the same species.

There is a sender, who delivers the substance, and a recipient, which generates a certain stimulus after receiving it. The stimuli are subconsciously absorbed into the olfactory system via the nose or other sensors.
This results in, among other things, influencing sexual behavior, orientation or alarm behavior in the animal kingdom.

The pheromones are divided into two subgroups, the signal pheromones, which have a short-term effect and the primer pheromones, which are intended to have a longer-term effect. An example of the latter would be the king substance of the honey bee, which inhibits the fertility of the workers in the long term.

The mode of action can be compared to that of a hormone. The only difference is that hormones work between cells in one body and pheromones work between cells in two different bodies.

While more than 100 such substances are known in the animal world, this type of stimulus transmission is largely unexplored in humans. While it is believed to exist, there are no meaningful studies on it.

Can pheromones make women more attractive?

There are basically different types of pheromones, with different effects, which are believed to also work in humans.

Male pheromones act as fragrances on women. E.g. The breakdown products of testosterone in men's sweat have an exciting and mood-enhancing effect on women. Artificially produced pheromones are supposed to trigger a feeling of security and sympathy in women, simply to achieve a "good feeling" in men. These characteristics increase the attractiveness at the same time and the man is more likely to be considered for further (relationship) steps.

In theory, the sprayed pheromones should be absorbed through the woman's nose and thus serve as a messenger to the woman's brain. There the center for sexuality is addressed and the good smelling man appears more attractive. Whether this type of stimulus transmission actually works has not yet been scientifically confirmed.

What are the side effects of pheromones for men?

While most manufacturers describe their products as having few side effects or even neutral, many researchers cannot share this opinion.

While attraction is achieved in women, the pheromones tend to cause aversion in other men and create aggressiveness and rivalry - the exact opposite. This subtle influencing of the environment can create tensions between the men and later scuffles about the women.

Other studies point out that the substances are steroids, which are said to be harmful and even carcinogenic in long-term use.

We therefore advise against buying pheromones from dubious online sellers.

What works best - spray, perfume, or after shave

Today there are numerous manufacturers who all claim that their products work best and leave an irresistible attraction on women, giving men that “certain something”, so to speak.

In principle, it does not matter in which form the product is applied. The pheromone has to get to the other person in order to be effective. There are no scientific studies that prove beyond any doubt that pheromones work best in humans and in what form.

Theoretically, however, a spray or a perfume should work better, as this is better distributed in the room due to the type of application of the spray and can therefore be more easily perceived by other people.

Can you buy different pheromones?

There are basically three different types of pheromones that can be found in man-made products.

These are androstenone and androstenol, which are formed in the sweat glands of the male armpits. The former should create a feeling of strength and aggression, as well as dominance in the man, which is attractive to the woman and intimidating to other men.

The second stands for youthfulness. It suggests to the woman that the man becomes a good partner with whom healthy and strong children can be fathered.

The third group of pheromones are copulins, small fatty acids that occur in women’s vaginal secretions and are supposed to have a stress-relieving effect on men.

Critical assessment of

The effect of pheromones in the animal kingdom is undoubtedly a fact that cannot be disputed as it has been proven.
The real question is whether pheromones can be produced artificially to mimic their effects.

Studies carried out at the beginning of the 2000s showed that at least the areas of the woman's brain that are responsible for sexual stimulation react to fragrances from male sweat. Conversely, the same thing could be found in men when they smelled fragrances from urine containing estrogen.
Assuming that the studies show no errors, then in theory an effect of pheromones between two people can be assumed.

However, it is questionable whether this also works with artificially produced products.

However, everyone can dare to try it themselves and buy the products on offer and try them out once. There is a choice between different types, spray, perfume or aftershave, all of which can be purchased at very low prices. There is not much you can do wrong with a single attempt, other than having no effect and wasting some money unnecessarily. Only long-term use is not advisable.
