Research into male pheromones tends to focus on two different areas. The first is identifying the impact of pheromones on hormone levels, which documents their role as primers of human sexual behavior. Primers create the optimum hormonal conditions for human reproduction by causing long-lasting shifts in female hormone levels. For instance, exposure to male pheromones helps regulate women’s menstrual cycles, which makes conception more likely. A primer role for human male pheromones is important to the perpetuation of the human species.
However, far more interesting to most people is the potential role of male pheromones as triggers or releasers of sexual activity in women. The role of pheromones as triggers for sexual activity in lower mammals and other species is well known.
However, unlike in the animal kingdom, where sexual activity results from a combination of the right chemical messages and access, sexual behavior in humans is a complex phenomenon. Cognition (thoughts) and emotions or feelings play important roles in determining whether sexual behavior occurs. So several studies have focused on the impact of human male pheromones on the brain activity and feelings of women.
One study showed that exposure to very small amounts of a male pheromone, androstadienone (AND), […]
