Good evening all (Take note...this is a purely scientific post and should not be misconstrued as something sexually explicit),

As some of you maybe aware, there has been a lot of media hype lately about the new pheromone colognes that are becoming available. For those who don't know what I am talking about, I will explain;

Pheromones are natural chemical scents that the body produces in order to communicate with others nearby. They are well documented in the animal kingdom as the force that controls all social behavior, including mating. New research and studies show that human behavior is heavily influenced from these airborne chemicals, and that pheromones play a far bigger role in human sexuality than ever thought before.

Scientists have long known that certain hormones, called pheromones, trigger strong sexual desire in animals. This is the reason that male dogs are driven crazy by a female dog in heat. Humans too, are influenced in a similar way with the presence of pheromones. Unfortunately, due to evolution, our bodies do not produce enough pheromones naturally to stimulate a response in the opposite sex.

One of the most interesting facts is that Pheromones are not consciously detected by the opposite sex. Pheromone molecules are detected inside the VNO ("vomeronasal organ") that is located in a small cavity inside the nose. This information is transmitted to Hypothalamus, an almond size gland that is linked to other parts of limbic brain. These are the areas that control emotions and sexual activity. A woman exposed to human pheromones feels an instinctive, powerful attraction and she doesn't know why. This is what's called "chemistry".

Now it has been proven conclusively, humans produce and react to pheromones, so much so that studies have even shown that exposure to men's pheromones can affect a woman's ovulation cycle, meaning, her readiness and interest in having intercourse. For example, it has been discovered that when the underarm sweat of women in different menstrual phases is placed under the noses of female subjects, the length of these subjects' own cycles is significantly altered. Underarm sweat has been shown to have a pheromone component - dehydroepiandrosterone. This explains why females living in close quarters, such as college dormitories, often have synchronized cycles.If anyone would like more information on the 8 main types of pheromones, please don't hesitate to ask

Now there are a number of colognes coming onto the market that use and take advantage of these pheromones. All of these products say the pheromones will achieve the following results;

1) Dramatically reduce rejections from women
2) Get more smiles, winks, touches, hugs and kisses (flirting)
3) More conversations initiated by girls that approach you
4) An increased number of date invitations from girls
5) Broaden your perceived status and authority
6) Get respect from other men
7) A solid boost of confidence
8) More self esteem as a positive side effect
9) Enhance your existing relationship
10) Get more & better sex

Well I have decided that in the name of science, I am going to put this stuff to the test and conduct some evidence based research. It is my intention to use this stuff over a period of 4-8 weeks, apply it every time I goto work and every time I go on a social outing to ascertain as to whether or not this stuff works and produces the results it says it will. As with evidence based research practices, I will keep a log of all interactions with test subjects (aka women) with whom I come into contact with and record down any changes in behavior or anything I would count as unusual or out of the ordinary. I also plan to record my personal opinions and observations throughout the experiment in a separate diary.

In my opinion it should be a rather interesting undertaking. I would be more than happy to share my practical research with anyone interested.

Some might say this is rather unorthodox...some might say I am a pioneer..but really I see it as delving into the depths of the unknown in the name of science

What do you guys think
