Effects of putative male pheromones on female ratings of male attractiveness: influence of
oral contraceptives and the menstrual cycle.

Previous
research has revealed that natural and synthetic pheromones can enhance ratings of opposite sex attractiveness. The
present study investigated the effects of exposure to male axillary secretions on female ratings of the sexual
attractiveness of male stimuli. Thirty-two female undergraduates, half of whom were contraceptive pill users, rated
male vignette characters and photographs of male faces on aspects of attractiveness. On two separate study days,
corresponding to different phases of their menstrual cycle, stimuli were presented while exposed to male axillary
pheromones and under a control condition (no pheromone). The order of testing was balanced with respect to
pheromone/control condition and menstrual cycle phase. Pheromone exposure resulted in significantly higher
attractiveness ratings of vignette characters and faces. Use of the contraceptive pill or menstrual cycle phase had
equivocal effects on some vignette items and neither had any influence on female ratings of male facial
attractiveness. The results of this study suggest that exposure to natural male axillary pheromones can
significantly enhance female perceptions of various aspects of male attractiveness.
...for all the
college people in the crowd ;)
It's a small sample group but the results are significant.
