Both men and women produce male sex hormones, so both men and women produce pheromones. However, almost immediately on contact with the surface of the skin, the precursor to pheromones is transformed by contact with bacteria on the skin. Women have different types of bacteria on the surface of their skin than men do, so they produce different pheromones.
The short answer to the question of whether different types of human pheromones pheromones exist is ‘yes.’ The slightly longer answer is that nobody yet knows how many different types there are, because this field of study is still quite new. Scientists have been researching these chemical messengers in humans for less than two decades.
So, while we might not yet know everything that would be helpful to know about human pheromones, we do know several important things. The first one might seem obvious, but one way they differ from each other is according to the gender of the person who produced them.
Another way to distinguish between pheromones is according to their function. Scientists classify them into two broad categories: primers and releasers or […]
