Cross-species pharamones!?

:open_mouth: According to my research, 5-alpha-androst-16-en-3-one was first isolated and used in '97 as an isolate from boars which would help pig farmers get their piggy females in the mood… it supposedly works wonders :roll_eyes:. Strange that humans produce the exact same compound…

Remind me not to visit a pig farm wearing Turn up the Heat :cool:

Before people ask, here’s my main reference…

Nature tends to be frugal and reuses new “inventions”, like eyes, fur etc., so why not mones, except in different ratios??:smiley:

I certainly agree with that notion :smiley:

Still… I’m glad to not know any potential dating women who live on pigfarms as a result of this knowledge :wink: .

…I live in bug-country (nearly a swamp)… I wonder if my phero sig will mean much more mosquito and blackfly love in the summer? :open_mouth:
