So I’m curious if anyone has done or read any research on the transfer of [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) by touch. We talk a lot on this board about diffusion of pheromones into the air, but I haven’t heard much about touch. I’m curious because the skin is a huge receptor for detecting, touch, pressure, pain, etc. I also think about the fact that with some pheromones the opposite gender tends to be more touchy. Are they trying to pass a hormone signal? Thoughts? ---

Very interesting. I imagine if there were decent body heat I don’t see why not. Sometimes when I spray them on my chest and put a T shirt on they do transfer to that shirt. I can even smell it sometimes especially with [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) in the dirty laundry even a few days later. ---

There are “scent”-receptors in deeper layers of the skin. That has been established rather eecently … a woujd heals faster and better in terms of skin qaulity when exposed to sandalwood - what constituents of andalwood has not benn publsihed yet but likely some sesquiterpenols … those are prominent in most EOs that are known to be beneficial to the skin. So for pheromnes to act on those scent-receptors in deeper skin layers, they would have to difuse through the epidermis in sufficient quantity … unlikely, but possible. ---

How deep are those receptors GorchFock? I wonder if they are at the same depth all over the skin. I wonder about the desire for women to respond to men they like by touching the wrist or back of the shoulder. Potentially this is because of position but I am reminded that during attraction phase of an initial meeting if a woman is attracted and you touch her she has to return the touch. I wonder if that is just behavioral or if it’s also biological. Is there another message being passed via pheromones on the skin during this touch. ---

Look up the publication. Those are scent-receptors mind you, if real pheromones are active there I can’t tell, I’d guess not when most of them are inactive and only 5 have been found in the mucous membrane
