It was well known by 1979 that females emit sex attractants that cause males of the same species to approach. The discovery of human sex pheromones appeared in front page stories internationally. It is now proven that women and men emit pheromones into the atmosphere and that extracted pheromones could be collected, frozen for over a year, thawed and then applied on the upper lip of recipients to mimic some of the pheromonal effects found in nature.

Published on an article printed in the Seattle Times, the Athena Institute for Women's Wellness in Haverford, Pennsylvania has patented a chemical copy of "the human pheromone," synthesized from a chemical found in sweat. The journal says that, "Like all animal pheromones, [the pheromone] is believed to stimulate response to the opposite sex." Thirty-eight men participated in the company's study testing the chemical.

Seventeen used an aftershave to which a drop of the chemical was added, and twenty-one used untreated aftershave. The men were asked to document all sexual activities for the duration of the experiment. Results indicated that all of the pheromone users "turned out to be busier, sexually," than the twenty-one controls. Based on these results, the researchers concluded that, "Human pheromones caused a statistically significant and distinct increase in those romantic behaviors in which a woman plays a major role . . . Thus, human pheromones affect the sexual attractiveness of men to women."

With the expectation that 5-a-androst-16en-3a-on, the main component of male body odor, might be a human male pheromone, an additional study rated the responses of 289 women to the chemical's odor. The women's responses to the quality of the odor differed, depending on the stage of their menstrual cycle. During ovulation, women rated the odor as neither attractive nor unattractive. However, during other phases of their menstrual cycles, women rated the scent as unattractive. An evolutionary consequence might be the facilitation of female choice during ovulation. Additionally, the Results of the 1986 National Geographic Smell Survey indicate that women were more sensitive to the smell of androstenone than were men.
