hankypanky1 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 pheromone (from Greek φέρω phero "to bear" and hormone, from Greek ὁρμή "impetus") is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species. Pheromones are chemicals capable of acting outside the body of the secreting individual to impact the behavior of the receiving individual.[1] There are alarm pheromones, food trail pheromones, sex pheromones, and many others that affect behavior or physiology. Pheromones are used from basic unicellular prokaryotes to complex multicellular eukaryotes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheromone Sex pheremones are pheromones released by an organism to attract an individual of the opposite sex, get them to mate with them, or some other function closely related with sexual reproduction. Sex pheromones specifically focus on indicating females for breeding, attracting the opposite sex, and conveying information on their species, age, sex and genotype after emitted by males. Volatile pheromones are characterized as sex pheromones or defensive pheromones and usually form a specific odor and are focused on alarm sensitivity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_pheromone A study (skip to conclusion if you don't want to read whole thing http://cogprints.org/2164/3/NEL220501R01_.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 It's a right bunch of rubbish. Something that applies to other species but not so much for humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptoad Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I remember reading about a scientific experiment, where scientists sprayed a chair in a waiting room with pheromones and then invited women into the room to wait for an interview. Most of the women picked the pheromone chair to sit on whilst they waited even though the position of the chair was moved. So it would seem that pheromones do work if you're a chair.
