Dr Brewer says "The pheromones [when used by men] will promote sexual attractiveness and may help to boost a low sex drive"
Pheromones are well known in the animal kingdom, they are usually odourless and cannot be detected by the nose, but have a profound effect on the brain. Pheromones produce powerful responses in only tiny amounts. They work by increasing the wearer's attractiveness to the opposite sex and to attract warmer more intimate behaviour as a result. In a double blind placebo controlled experiment men using the active pheromone enjoyed significantly increased sexual activity and attractiveness to the opposite sex compared to those using the inactive placebo. They were found to indulge significantly more hugging, kissing, petting and sex than before the study.
* 74% of men using the pheromone reported increased romantic attention from women
* 47% of male users reported having sex more often than before
* 41% of users kissed and petted more than before the study
* 35% slept with a romantic partner more frequently than before the study
* 35% of pheromone users went out on dates more often.
Women users of the female pheromone may not increase the number of times they have sex but are more likely to have regular sex, and report that men are more attentive, courteous and pleasant, while husbands tend to become more playful, affectionate and cuddly.
