This article is called Human Sex-Attractant Pheromones: Discovery, Research, Development, and Application in Sex Therapy by Winnifred B. Cutler. This article was published in 1991. This takes place in the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford University. This article is about Winnifred B. Cutler and colleagues. Some of the topics that was discussed are physical attraction is the fundamental precondition for the sexual dance between a man and a woman. Although appearance, self-confidence, and social behavior all contribute to sexual attractiveness, the reproductive endocrine system appears to play an independent role. Recent discoveries of invisible, odorless, sex attractants, called pheromones, offer biologic ways to use cosmetics for improving the romantic lives of men and women. As an adjunct to existing therapies, human pheromones may serve to catalyze the therapeutic process.
Investigated relationships between the timing of women's sexual behavior and aspects of their reproductive endocrinology. investigated similar relationships among pre-menopausal women. Each of the studies demonstrated health benefits from intimate connections with another person, provided the timing was appropriate. conducted two double-blind, placebo-controlled experiments of sexual responses to pheromones that have been reported to the scientific community. Our first study of women used the data collected in the Cutler and Preti experiments... these data were analyzed according to sexual behavior patterns. The first study of men added a man's proprietary pheromone formula to each man's usual aftershave fragrances and tested for changes in sexual behavior. Both studies found that human pheromones, but not placebo, produced significant increases over baseline in sexual behavior involving a partner. A patient adds pheromone to his or her own fragrance to increase his or her partner's sexual interest. In conjunction with psychotherapy, this change in the partner's response is incorporated into the healthy emotional functioning of the patient. Patients with infertility problems -- with or without known pathology -- need a romantic life.
Studies reviewed above have shown that couples trying to conceive a viable pregnancy benefit from regular weekly sexual intercourse because the behavior increases the likelihood of a fertile-type cycle in the woman. Intrusive infertility treatments usually compromise some of the romance between the couple. Because cosmetic pheromones can promote or restore romance, they may serve as a useful adjunct to both the psychological and the reproductive endocrine treatments. Sex-attractant type pheromone cosmetics can be incorporated into the user's daily routines to increase the chances for therapeutic benefits. This article was written because in this prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, human pheromones caused a statistically significant and distinct increase in those romantic behaviors in which a woman plays a major role... These findings suggest an increased sexual attractiveness of the men without an influence on the men's sexual motivation, further supporting the hypothesis of the pheromone nature of apocrine secretions in humans. When I read this article I never knew some of the things that was discussed in this article.
