Athena Pheromone

Pheromones, according to the advertisement, are naturally occurring substances that the body excretes, conveying an airborne message to trigger a response from the opposite sex. They were first identified in 1959 among animals shown to trigger a reproductive response and have since been determined to occur in all animal species.

As pheromones are the only active element in this product, we will focus on that aspect.

The product claims to contain human pheromones, and does not go into any other detail about the blend of the formula, other than it is odorless. It can be added to lotions, colognes or hair gels.

Scientific literature now apparently recognizes four classes of pheromones: territorial markers, mother-infant, menstrual synchrony and human sex-attractant.

It is believed that they are secreted in the sweat and can actually be washed off; this would make reapplication of a synthetic product necessary. What is not explained is what triggers the production or what may reduce the production of these naturally occurring chemicals. This product is marketed as a tool for attracting the opposite sex but how it specifically works or interacts with body chemistry is not detailed. br>

For men who feel like they are not having a lot of luck with the ladies, or with men, a product such as this may seem like a desirable way to increase attraction from the opposite sex, peers or those who need to be impressed by you. Pheromones could potentially attract anyone, as stated in a testimonial from a salesman.

As these chemicals are excreted naturally by humans and often help determine who individuals are attracted to, it is difficult to understand where these bottled chemicals are coming from and how they may interact with different body chemistries. Furthermore, it is unclear that the signal will be picked up by the intended recipient.

While using a product like this may be a good sales technique, it is not intended to act as an aphrodisiac and will not assist with problems related to sexual dysfunction. For men experiencing this condition, an oral supplement to support testosterone levels, sex drive and erection strength is suggested. Herbal extracts are available that have shown to be quite effective; and since use of these types of products often lead to increased confidence due to the enhanced sexual activity, a pheromone fragrance would probably not be needed to attract sexual partners.

Pheromones occur naturally in both humans and animals and are thought to be a way to attract the opposite sex for reproductive purposes. A product such as this may help increase attraction, but, as mentioned, will not assist in treating symptoms of erectile dysfunction.

For men seeking options to deal with a more serious and personal issue, herbal supplements are available that have been shown to be effective. Aphrodisiacs such as Catuaba, a bark extract from Brazil, and Muira Puama from the Amazon rainforest, have been traditionally used to increase sexual desire. These extracts are included in a variety of male enhancement supplements and are believed to work well when combined with one another.

Fragrances and chemicals may help to attract, but sometimes a little extra help is needed to make sure the night ends without disappointment. Supplements that get into the blood stream and affect performance may be a more satisfying solution.
