More on types of pheros: Underarm secretion of men affects LH secretion and mood in women

Male Axillary Extracts Contain Pheromones that Affect Pulsatile Secretion of Luteinizing Hormone and Mood in Women Recipients Human underarm secretions, when applied to women recipients, alter the length and timing of the menstrual cycle. These effects are thought to arise from exposure to primer pheromones that are produced in the underarm. Pheromones can affect endocrine (primer) or behavioral (releaser) responses, provide information (signaler), or perhaps even modify emotion or mood (modulator) . In this study, we extracted underarm secretions from pads worn by men and placed the extract under the nose of women volunteers while monitoring serum LH and emotion/mood. Pulses of LH are excellent indicators of the release of GnRH from the brain's hypothalamus. In women, the positive influence of GnRH on LH affects the length and timing of the menstrual cycle, which, in turn, affects fertility. Here we show that extracts of male axillary secretions have a direct effect upon LH-pulsin...

JVKohl on NPA's secret ingredient at l-s website

If this were a valid claim it would mean either new chemicals had been tested for VNO effects, or Berliner\'s chemicals were being used. Berliner\'s group has a patent on the delivery device used to show VNO effects, sothat suggests their chemicals are being used, since there is no other method to test new chemicals. Effects of -rone may be directly on hormone levels, or may be indirect via its association with other odorslinked with sexual experience. I suspect the effect is on hormones, but it would cost a lot to prove it. Meanwhile,behavioral effects are less expensive to show. Still, until a large number of study participants can be amassed,statistical significance will be lacking. I am collaborating on a study with n = 400, if all goes well. I can't discount secret ingredients, or even -none for that matter. It may turn out that -none has positive effects on hormone levels, for example. The fact that it is negatively perceived means little when it is typically present ...

Ammunition

Smells great as everyday wear. Not cloying, a little strong but applying to back of neck takes care of that problem. It smells very similar (identical) to Guess Man. It seems to be high in -nol and holds the -nol for much longer. Even with three sprays the -none effects are not noticeable and -nol effects dominate. Although next day you will be high in -none. So need to be careful with application of any -none product the following day.

Types of pheromones

Article Facts, fallacies, fears, and frustrations with human pheromones Charles J. Wysocki 1 2 *, George Preti 1 3 1Monell Chemical Senses Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania2Department of Animal Biology, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania3Department of Dermatology, School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania email: Charles J. Wysocki ( wysocki@monell.org ) *Correspondence to Charles J. Wysocki, Monell Chemical Senses Center, 3500 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104 ...In a broader perspective, pheromones can be classified as primers, signalers, modulators, and releasers . There is good evidence to support the presence of the former three in humans. Examples include affects on the menstrual cycle (primer effects); olfactory recognition of newborn by its mother (signaler); individuals may exude different odors based on mood (suggestive of modulator effects) . However, there is no good evidence for releaser effects in adult humans. I...

Smell of sweat : Spicy Reason

Identification of New Odoriferous Compounds in Human Axillary Sweat Yoshihiro Hasegawa *, Masayuki Yabuki, Masamoto Matsukane Kao Corporation, Perfumery Development Research Laboratory, 2-1-3, Bunka, Sumida-ku, Tokyo, Japan email: Yoshihiro Hasegawa *Correspondence to Yoshihiro Hasegawa, Kao Corporation, Perfumery Development Research Laboratory, 2-1-3, Bunka, Sumida-ku, Tokyo, Japan setDOI("ADOI=10.1002/cbdv.200490157") Abstract 3-Hydroxy-3-methylhexanoic acid (1) and the 3-sulfanylalkan-1-ols 2-5 were identified to contribute to the odor of human axillary sweat. Quantitative analyses of axillary sweat extracts from 50 healthy men showed an unambiguous correlation between the detected levels of 1 and the intensity of the axillary odor. Chiral-GC analyses revealed 1 to be a 72 : 28 mixture of the (S)/(R)-isomers. Optically pure (S)-1 (>97% ee) emanated a strong spicy note , which recalled typical axillary odors. 3-Methyl-3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (2), the enantiomeric ratio of ...

Clubbing success

I put 2 sprays of PMX101 sometime in the morning. Applied another spray of PMX101 around 9 pm. Also applied 1 spray of MX102 and 2 sprays of Akuto scented P79 (1 on neck and chest another behind neck). Went to club at around 11 pm. Two times women stood very near me touching or almost touching. One initiated conversation and looked attracted. I said it's hot here. She said "yeah, it is kinda hot" and laughed after that. We talked for some time. I called her stupid. She didn't seem to care about my bad remarks. She was trying to prove herself to me too. Maybe the MX102 effect. I didn't show much interest and eventually she left. The other woman with another lady friend stood with her arm touching mine probably hoping that I will start conversation but she was just too big for my taste. The first girl however had a very cute face. Got looks from other girls too. This could be a good combo. I am wondering if I should take out the MX102 and just use PMX101 and P79. It...

P79

Today I tried P79 for the second time and for the second time I got into a lengthy discussion with my labmate. It really made me get into the conversation and I just had to make sure that my point went across. Nobody became rude, nobody lost temper but got pretty involved. This matches with what other users have reported, that they tend to get more into what they are doing, more into sex if that's what they are doing, more into music if that's what they are doing and so on...
