Have
you ever think why some people are more attractive when you smell them? The
pheromone is a biochemical signals which can impact in other people without
even noticing. As in the animal kingdom, sex pheromones can indicate us the
range of attraction to different people. This is a kind of mechanism that we
all have that influences, unconsciously, our decision about attraction.
Scientists
have begun to figure it out why the odor of some people influences the sexual
attraction. Even though people can consciously appreciate some smells,
pheromones are not consciously perceived. According to some studies, scientists
believe that we have a gland, in the top of our nose, which is called
veromonasal organ. This is supposed to be the responsible of detecting the
sexual pheromones in other people, but some other scientists reject this idea.
If indeed we have that gland in our nose, our brain couldn't be able to decode these
signals.
We have
to be aware that as we belong to the animal kingdom, all our responses are, at
the end, natural and primitive. Obviously that in contrast to animals, our main
sense to feel attraction to other people is our sight, but we have to know that
a good reception of pheromones can make a difference in our future
relationships. Do you believe that our brain can detect the pheromones? What
would happen if as we smell the perfumes, we can also smell and feel our
pheromones?

This is a very interesting topic Camila, I think that we all react to other people´s smells, because we all have a proper smell. In my case, I really feel atracted to women smells, but I don´t know if those are pheromones, I just like it! xD
ReplyDeleteI don´t know if my brain can detect it or if I choose a girl because of her smell, but what I know I that I apreciate a great smell. Finally, if now it is discovered that we all have gland in our nose, I think that this discovery would lead to create lots of new ways to attract people. Maybe through artificial smells, for example...
I think this is a really interesting topic, too. I also appreciate man wearing lots of perfume and I cannot help myself with a men that smells good. Plus it says a lot about the person because you kown they care and they try to imprese us as well.
ReplyDeleteAs to pheromons, I think that our brain is able to detect them. We just don't notice it.
I am also very interested because I love smells and I remember a lot of them. I even remember people by one particular smell, seasons, years or special occasions. I love smelling things, what can I say?
I also agree with Nicolas when he says that this could be of great use in the future, to find ways to attract people although I would like people to like me for who I am and not because of the way I smell.
Smells also remind me of this amazing movie and book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PnNQu3SdGo
