chemical sexual attraction

Ever wondered what causes sexual attraction between men and women? The answer may just be in the pheromones. You may not have heard or learned about this before but yes, these have been found to play a significant role in the sex life of humans.

Pheromones are chemical substances that occur naturally in humans as well as animals. These are normally emitted by a body that is fertile which give a come-on signal to the opposite sex.

Origin Of PheromonesIt was in 1956 when the first pheromone was discovered as a powerful substance in sexual attraction for silkworm moths. In their study that took 20 years, a group of German researchers found a compound from the abdomen of some 500,000 female moths that attracted male moths and caused them to flutter their wings. The beating of their wings was a signal that the males had sensed the chemical they named “bombykol.”
