I don’t see how this could happen since hormones never leave the blood except from when they have reached their target.

its because of pheremones, but i dont fully understand what they are or how they work.
Anyway – this scientist / psychologist called Russell applied pheremones of one woman to the upper lips of a group of other woman and all their menstrural cycles synchronised. Weird.

People think that this may be to do with Evolution – that if cycles were syncronised, then all the babies were born at the same time so childcare could be shared and so more babies survive.

What if the intended target is another person? Pheromones are a type of hormone 🙂

I have to admit that pheromones completely slipped my mind

Most receptors are non-functioning, but some are still active in your nose. Have you ever been near a girl, even one you would not normally find physically attractive and think to yourself, “Dang! She smells good!”

That’s not just her perfume you’re smelling…

I ever read in the comics also…the boy said that the girl smells good even though there’s no perfume on her body…and his friends who is a doctor said that it’s a pheromone..

I’ve never read anything like that in comics, but, yes, they got it right that time.

@Kyle
haha..that’s because our comics come from different region… 😆

So what other science-based comics do you have? Spider-man? 😀

I don’t have any spiderman comics… 😆 (for what I have to had such comics??there’re spiderman’s film already.. 😆 )

Pheromones are hormones which are used for intraspecies comunication. They cause physiological changes in other members of the same species. It is the most common case when men are attracted to women because these pheromones and vice versa. There was some study when women sit in the hall together with men. Than when the hall was empty there came only men and the scientists watch which seats will these men prefer. They prefered seats where sitted women before those where sitted men. They didnt know about the state before.

I think it’s kinda like natural perfume.. 😆 (cause Kyle said our pheromone receptor is only in our nose.. 😆 )…homosexuals? I think they will act the same..

They did that fairly recently and found that homosexual males respond similarly to heterosexual females!

The test wasn’t done on homosexual females yet, that I’ve seen.

The affect is not attributed to any chemical, or a mixture of chemicals. No chemicals were isolated, identified, or characterized in her studies.

Her study supported what almost every adult woman already knows, and shed no new light on the topic.

In general, studies of this nature are to be ignored. I challenge you to provide a study whose error bars do not overlap.
