View Full Version : Scientific proof?

Is there any scientific proof of pheromone product increasing the perceived attractiveness of the
wearer? Any double blind study showing that test group A that uses a specific pheromone product gets laid in average
7 times a year, while test group B who uses a placebo product gets laid in average 4 times a
year?
If pheromone products really worked then such a study would
easily increases sales tremendously. However, all I see here is anecdotic evidence. And anecdotic evidence is almost
no evidence at all.
I am not looking for evidence that pheromones
play a role in human mating. I have no doubt of that. I am looking for scientific proof for the beneficial effect of
specific pheromone products.

Try this link

articles that should help you.
A study like you described has too many variables, you'd never be able to draw
anything conclusive from it.

If all things were equal as humanly possible--sets of
identical twins interacting with other identical twins in the same environment--a study like this would still have
too many variables, e.g., differing personalities, to be conclusive. Plus, getting enhanced attention from
pheromones and getting laid are two very different things. One depends on application of 'nomes and the other
interpersonal skills and attractiveness.

There are a few such studies.
See also my "phero references" thread. Do a title search.
Too many variables isn't the problem -- too little
funding is. Most serious researchers are afraid of the academic political ramifications of studying human sexuality
so blatantly.

Please read my "Memoirs"
posting in the open discussion forum for my response to this. Holy Pheromones, Batman! (a play on
names...Batman->Bruce Wayne->Bruce...har, har) That should be a standard reading on the website! It should be under
a link entitled, "Do pheromones really work? A practical analysis."
