pheromones for gay male

[Ernie]

I read a

postinging serveral weeks ago that indicated there was new research on pheromones in gay males. This was going to

lead to a specific product for gay men. Has there been any progress on this front. I do not believe it is a matter

of simply using female products.

Ernie,

From what I have

read, if you are trying to attract gay men the last thing you would want to do is wear female pheromones. A gay man

is attracted to a male's pheromone signature

[koolking1]

there is a website that

sells pheromones for gay men but I can't recall it's name. Just out of curiousity I queried them about pheromone

content and they squirmed around that issue so I suspect the pheromone content in their product is miniscule at

best. There have been other gay men on this site and perhaps one of them will reply here and give you some help.

Good Luck!!!

There has been discussion about

this in the past here. Research indicates that gay males have a different ratio of ~mones than streight males.

Almost female, but not quite. Do a search (I'm too freakin lazy), JV Kohl has some postings on the subject here.

I'm not gay, and I'm ashamed

to admit it... (bet you'll never hear anyone ever say that...)

I must have bought the gay pheromones by

accident because I'm always approached by men... (joking about the first part...not exactly joking about the

second)

Seriously, logic would tell me that whatever attracts people attracted to men would be what product you

use...that may not be correct reasoning, but since homosexuals are attracted to members of the same sex whether they

are homosexual or not...I'd say that it makes the most sense. In other words, what Bel said.

...but maybe

there is something to the slight difference because I'm not such a "man's man" but more of a "nice guy"...so maybe

my pheromone signature is different. Who knows?

You want to reduce -rone

compared to hetero men.

I bought a gay pheromone,

actually 2 different ones, both unscented. One of them is Androstadienone and estratetraenol in a "proprietary

blend" Definitely a mone stink to it. The other one just says it was "made from human pheromones" and I can't

smell anything at all with it.

I should add, the first one is the one that works great on pregnant bitchy

girls.

"...if you are trying to

I think it's a lot more than that. I'm not gay but, with or without 'mones, gay

men often hit on me. The attraction happens long before they get upwind of me, so I think gay men are drawn in more

by visual appearance. Women, on the other hand, never spot me at a party and make an immediate beeline for my

cute tush. I have to work them at different levels, especially verbal centers, to spark a woman's interest.

[belgareth]

No argument on that. The

question was directed at what mones to wear. To fully do this subject justice we could probably work at it for years

and never come to anything conclusive.

Men are more visually

stimulated than women are when it comes to arousal. I think that's why pornography is more popular with males than

females. So, though there is a difference in gender preference between straight and gay males, the visual

stimulation factor probably holds true to both types.

Refering back to my earlier post,

here is something that JV Kohl posted in another thread:

"-nol and -none were discovered to be very effective

as pheromones in pigs. With pheromones, species specificity is a general rule, so we can expect that -nol and -none

would be somewhat less effective as human pheromones. Humans are unique among mammals in that we produce large

quantities of the adrenal androgen: dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA),which breaks down into -rone and

etiocholanolone (E). -rone/E ratios are higher in men compared to women, with homosexual men having ratios similar

to women. Given a sufficient knowledge of neuroendocrine development and function -rone/E ratios clearly

indicate that these metabolites of DHEA are most likely to play a role as human pheromones--with -rone playing its

role as the most characteristically male pheromone."

At least one recent study has shown that

women are also stimulated visually by erotic imagery--though the stimulated women do not usually report their

arousal. Only when hormone levels were measured did the disparity between self report and reality become

clear.
