Gays & Pheromones

Pheromones work for attracting members of the same sexGay Men and women require a slightly different combination of pheromones to achieve the same success. A new study shows that gay men and women respond differently from straight men when exposed to pheromones found in perspiration. When gay men sense pheromones their brains respond similarly to those of women.

The scientists exposed heterosexual men and women and homosexual men to chemicals found in male and female sex hormones. One chemical is a testosterone derivative produced in men's sweat. The other is an estrogen compound in women's urine.

 

These chemicals are in fact pheromones, molecules emitted by one individual that evoke some behaviour in another of the same species. Pheromones trigger basic responses, such as sexual attraction, in many animals.

 

But scientists have long debated if humans respond to pheromones but new studies suggest that pheromones indeed play a part in making humans sexually attractive to one another. Pheromones can be used to find same sex partners

Modern scientific procedures now allow the right pheromones to be artificially re-created to allow their use to attract members of the same sex. The right pheromones differ between gay men and women but both are now available as both perfumed and unscented sprays.
