Is the effect of body odor on arousal obvious? Expert: Don't blindly exaggerate the aphrodisiac effect of body odor

Can the scent emitted by the body become a spark that ignites love? According to experts, although there are claims of similarity in taste, in terms of arousal, mutual emotions, values, and cultural resonance are much stronger than so-called pheromones and flavors.

1. Pheromones and body odor

Single men and women who participate in pheromone parties wear the same T-shirt to sleep for three days before the event, and bring this outfit to the blind date in a sealed bag. After the event started, participants one by one smelled the smell of clothing placed by the opposite sex in sealed bags and chose their preferred scent. Among the more than 100 single men and women who participated in this event, the most popular female among men was 25 year old Saranache, and 9 men chose her as their favorite partner. When it comes to popularity, Natchis said, "I guess my body odor smells better

Pheromones, also known as pheromones, refer to substances secreted by biological individuals into the body and detected by other individuals through their olfactory organs, thereby affecting their behavior, psychology, and emotions. Some studies suggest that human pheromones are secreted by the sweat glands (such as the armpit, behind the ear, and genitals), and transmitted to the hypothalamus through relevant neurotransmitters through nasal perception, thereby affecting emotions, endocrine, emotional, and sexual behavior. In fact, the synchronous phenomenon of menstruation in cohabiting women is the result of the action of pheromones.

Although both men and women secrete pheromones through the sweat glands, the levels of pheromones differ from body odor and sweat odor. Zhang Yan, Deputy Chief Physician of the Urology Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat sen University, stated that body odor is mostly produced by the decomposition of sweat gland secretions by bacteria, which can affect several types of body odor, including physical constitution, diet, and local bacterial species (bacteria decompose proteins, oils, and carbohydrates in sweat, producing unpleasant odors)

Simply put, people with fox odor may not have low pheromone levels, but for many people, it is indeed inverted. Therefore, Zhang Yan believes that the choice of partners between men and women is a factor that generates favorable feelings and is further closely related, but it is not a factor or a representative of hormone levels.

2. Pheromones subtly regulate sexual relationships

Interestingly, after working in the Department of Sexual and Infertility at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat sen University for a period of time, the skin of the tour guide nurse becomes beautiful. This unique phenomenon caught the attention of doctors. Later, it was discovered that these nurses were working in a male semen examination and processing room next to their positions. Every day, dozens of semen samples emitted a faint and special smell in the air. It is not surprising that such prolonged inhalation can regulate women's physiology.
