i just read this at [http://www.skinbiology.com](http://www.skinbiology.com) **Human [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) (Sexual Attractants) and Apocrine Glands****Humans have glands at the base of the hair follicles of the skin, especially in the armpits and and the genital regions that produce odors, called pheromones that attract the opposite sex. The active compounds causing these effects are uncertain but they appear to consist of short-chain fatty acids such as proprionic acid and butyric acid, both of which in their pure state have strong and disagreeable smells. Steroid hormones, related to androstenone, also seem to function as sexual attractants.** \*\* Human pheromones may serve more to increase feelings of comfort, pleasantness and relaxation with another person than to cause feelings of sexual attraction. One double-blinded, well-controlled study by Winnifred Cutler, a researcher in human pheromones, found that human pheromones increased the attractiveness of men to women as measured by the frequency of petting/affection/kissing, informal dating (that is, a date not arranged the day before) and sleeping with a romantic partner. However, formal dating and sexual self-stimulation was not changed. While pheromone actions exist in humans, their effect is moderate, increasing interpersonal cooperation and friendliness, and is heavily modified by other psycho-social factors. (W. B. Culter, E. Friedmann, and N. L. McCoy, Pheromonal influences on sociosexual behavior in men, Archives of Sexual Behavior, Vol. 27, pages 1-13, 1998).\*\* \*\* Does bathing remove your natural sexual attractants? Human pheromones are fatty molecules with low water solubility. Bathing and swimming in detergent-free water, saunas, and steam baths should have only a moderate effect on pheromone removal. However, heavy use of soaps and detergents could strip away your natural sexual attractants and lower your skin pheromone levels.\*\* and i was wondering… if …mones are fatty molecules… creams wont help to release it better than colognes??? thx ---
