Why do you think the men were
unable, in even one case, to successfully identify their spouse's t-shirt?
It's good
to see that the concept of human pheromones is recognized before some college professor tells students there's no
such
thing.

In her study, Borrowman asked seven men to identify their
wives by scent, and none were able to identify the correct T-shirt. However, five of the seven women tested
correctly identified the T-shirts worn by their husbands.
Borrowman hopes her winning project will give more
credibility to biopsychology as a respected
science.

Okay, that makes sense. The womanOriginally Posted by jvkohl
needs to make sure she keeps the father of her children around for at least a while. So she needs to feel a
connection with him.
So the role of the feminine pheromone would not be exactly like the role of the male
pheromone, correct? At least the pheromones relating to male-female interaction.
A man would respond more to a
woman's pheromone signature if she were fertile, less if she were not.
A man would respond more to a woman's
pheromone signature if her immune system were different from his.
A man would respond more to a woman's
pheromone signature if she were not pregnant, less if she were.
Are these testable concepts? Have they been
tested?
I can see that women who use pheromone products would want to seem fertile, unpregnant, healthy, and
immunally distinct from as many men as possible.

women. I also know guys that prefer menstruating women (lots of Japanese men), not only for intercourse, but for
oral sex as well (lots of women love it too). Personally I don't get the thrill but it's pretty common.

The conceptsOriginally Posted by Friendly1
have been tested in non-human animals and incorporated into the overall concept of human pheromones. Data from human
studies support the extension. However, distinct differences in the immune system are not as likely to be important
to males as to females. Simply put, if she smells like a fertile female, that's enough to evoke a hormone response
that helps to focus his attention on sex. On the other hand, simply smelling like a reproductively fit male doesn't
always do it for a female. They unconsciously "know" that without sufficient immunological differences, sex is less
likely to result in reproduction, or that the reproductive result will be less beneficial to
offspring.

hello
all,
I have always heard that women have a better sense of smell. I know that my sense of smell is "dead." My
ex-wife had a blood hound's nose, despite the fact that she suffered from allergies and was often congested.
I
have read that both the male and femal parent respond to the smell of their own offspring. I remember reading in a
baby book on how both parents enjoy smelling the baby's head, and I remember smelling my daughter's head when she
was a baby (maybe at the suggestion of the book - maybe to fulfill some biological need)
I have also heard that
women's sense of smell needs to be more acute to detect illness, ear infections for example.
Just some anecdotal
information to support the biological difference between male and female sense of smell...
peace to all!!
