Pheromones / what are they?
Pheromones are known as the hormones of sexual attraction.
What are they?
But that’s not all. Some people seem very attractive to us, while others repel us at first glance because, after all, there is so-called “chemistry” between humans.
Pheromones are chemical substances, invisible to the naked eye, that are found mainly on the skin and hair.
When two people are close, their pheromones waft and enter the nose, their “way” to the brain. They end up in the part of the brain that regulates the secretion of reproductive hormones (e.g., estrogen in women and testosterone in men). It is characteristic that the centers of the brain that control reproductive hormones are closely related to those of the sense of smell.
The pheromone gene
The discovery of the gene associated with pheromones proves that we ultimately communicate through these chemicals. World-leading Universities such as Rockefeller University and Yale University have identified a gene involved in producing a protein whose role is to detect pheromones. This pheromone “detector” is located in the mucous membrane of the nose.
Instinctive love communication
Pheromones influence our sexual behavior, unconsciously guiding us to choose or reject a sexual partner.
Our sexual behavior is influenced by factors we cannot consciously control. The bodies of humans secrete chemical substances, and pheromones, thanks to which the mystery of the attraction between humans is scientifically explained! Pheromones influence our sexual behavior, unconsciously guiding us to choose or reject a romantic partner.
Instinctive human communication.
Pheromones are chemicals that explain why certain people attract or repel us. Our communication and how we influence others is the key to success and depends significantly on how we are “perceived” by those we interact with.
Pheromones are odorless!
But then, how is it possible to smell them and much more to affect our sexual behavior?
We take in pheromones unconsciously. Pheromones are detected by the epithelium (mucosa) of the nose and take an “alternate” route to the brain, bypassing the cortex of the cerebral hemispheres, which is responsible for all forms of conscious experience – such as perception and emotion. In other words, pheromones stimulate the most primitive centers of the brain, causing instinctive reactions.
