Women's Natural Scent More Seductive !

Psychology Today magazine had an article about pheromones. A group of men had gone without deodorant wearing t-shirts then women sniffed the t-shirts. The women were attracted to men whose immune systems were different enough from their own that if they mated with those men their offspring would have "better" immune systems than if thee women mated with the men whose scents they weren't attracted to because those men's immune systems were too similar to the individual women.

Pheromones are small organic molecules known as the “secret seducers” that influence biological processes to stimulate your sex drive.

Animals secrete these pheromone-based chemical signals to communicate their gender or reproductive status to other animals -- and humans are no exception.

Even though you don’t consciously recognize the smell of pheromones, these chemicals likely play a role in helping you find a suitable partner.

When women who are using birth control pills meet their future husband they had been attracted to a man whose immune system was like their own. After marriage when they wanted to start a family and going off the pill, women often found they were not attracted to their husbands anymore. 

For example, if you’ve ever found yourself inexplicably attracted to a stranger you’ve just met, it could very well be their chemical signals that you find irresistible. Humans tend to be attracted to those with a dissimilar genetic make-up to themselves, which is signaled by subtle odors. This ensures genetic diversity for the species.

Researchers have actually confirmed the presence of a “secret sex nerve” (Nerve “O”), which has endings in your nasal cavity. Nerve O’s fibers go directly to the sexual regions of your brain, and because Nerve O bypasses the olfactory cortex, it does not register a conscious smell, but rather identifies chemical sexual cues.

As you might suspect, researchers are very interested in developing pheromone-based fragrances that promise to make you more sexually attractive.

Some studies have actually found that people wearing such scents are more interesting to the opposite sex, but this could simply be a placebo effect, where the person believes they will be more attractive, and therefore are.

Chemical signals like pheromones are not only about sexuality, however. They influence a complex array of biological processes and human relationships. For instance:

Women who sniffed fear-induced sweat became more mentally alert and intelligent, according to a study in Chemical Senses.

Studies have shown that women can pick a T-shirt worn by their infant from a pile of T-shirts. Babies also respond to the breast pads worn by their own mothers, but not to those worn by other women.

The smell of other women’s perspiration causes women’s menstrual cycles to speed up or slow down. This helps explain why women who live together often menstruate at the same time each month.

Why You May Want to Think Twice Before Covering Up Your Natural Scent

·        I would caution against wearing any synthetic perfume or cologne, as they’re almost always loaded with synthetic chemicals that have been linked to cancer, reproductive toxicity, allergies and more.

·        The fragrance industry actually regulates itself, through a trade association known as the International Fragrance Association. This association is responsible for conducting safety tests to determine the ingredients safe for use for their own industry.

·        And determining what’s actually in your “fragrance” can be virtually impossible, as there are thousands of different fragrance chemicals used to produce different aromas, and they are often not listed on the label.

·        Among them are the endocrine-disrupting chemicals called phthalates. The effects of these chemicals on your endocrine system, particularly during pregnancy, breastfeeding and childhood, are very disturbing. For instance, animal studies on certain phthalates have shown the chemicals may cause reproductive and developmental harm, organ damage, immune suppression, endocrine disruption and cancer.

·        When used during pregnancy, the chemicals in perfume and scented lotions may even lead unborn boys to suffer from health related issues later in life..

Many are Chemically Sensitive

Well you may think that wearing these fragrances may make you more attractive to the opposite sex, many are unaware that there are a significant percentage of the population that are chemical canaries and these synthetic fragrances will actually make them sick.

Have you ever gotten a headache because someone sitting next to you is doused in perfume?

Or felt dizzy, nauseous, irritable, confused or fatigued due to fragrances worn by other people in your office?

These are signs that you likely have a chemical sensitivity to fragrance, and many people do.

Even low-level exposure to fragrance, such as getting a whiff while out shopping, can lead to symptoms, and if you’re stuck in a closed environment (such as in an office with poor ventilation) the symptoms can be debilitating.

For males, fragrances started with aftershave when sadly some of those scents were almost certain to keep females at bay. Men's fragrances or scents, as we recognise today, are more readily acceptable but there continues to be many off-putting male scents on the market; certainly I appreciate a nice scent but I am choosey with what I use.

 I have never encountered any health problem although this is not to deny that they could and probably are problematic. I have passed females in public places where their scent has been overpowering, lingering, and bloomin' awful!

Others whom we encounter do appear to be more sociable and, when in groups, people tend to be more gregarious so pheromones do appear to have an impact on behavior. Some woman, but not all, show distinct signs of attraction to one and advanced age seems to be irrelevant!

When I encounter one whose scent nauseates me then it is the sure sign that we are not likely to be attracted to each other nor indeed to be friendly towards each other.

Thank you …I have always found a natural scent of a woman much more attracting than any perfume or deodarant .I find all perfumes offensive to my nose,for they seem to mask the natural smell of a mate.

Why on earth should mankind be hiding behind perfumes thinking they attract the opposite sex.I believe it prevents sexual attraction.

Why do Italian men give handkerchiefs to their girlfriends with the natural odor of their bodies if not attracting a mate.

To me all perfumes and deodoarants are counterproductive to finding a mate.Thousands of years of proof states that artificial odors do little to attracting anyone and more likely repels mates.
