What is the difference between male pheromones and female pheromones?
Scientists have identified the chemical, androstenone, as the male pheromone.In addition to increasing the animal magnetism of a man, androstenones bring about an increase in the luteinizing hormone (LH) in a woman who happens to be nearby thereby causing a woman to have a heightened sexual responsiveness to a man. The compound, copulin, on the other hand, has been identified as the female pheromone. When optimized, copulins bring about a testosterone surge in men, thereby causing a man to have a heightened sexual responsiveness to a woman.
