Pheromones - real or gimmick

[Hogrider]

Was in an adult shop the other day and the lovely lady on the counter showed me a
“ pheromone for her “

Now I am not a nonbeliever of biology but I thought pheromones can’t be modulated outside bodies !

Always thought my Tom ford did the trick smh

Laughed it off but now it’s stuck in my head —

pheromones come from urine and sweat.

Sounds gimmicky like Spanish Fly.

Short answer:

Pheromones are absolutely real, but humans have loooong since stopped being able to truly smell or detect them.

I am pretty sure we made fragrances specifically because we can't detect pheromones anymore.

I mean, you MIGHT be able to if you literally jam your nose up against the skin (it's why women naturally always smell so goddamn good, especially around the neck between her tits and around her slit, I am quite certain their pheromones are much stronger than mens for obvious biological reasons)

There used to be vending machines in pub toilets selling this stuff. Total bullshit.

Heh. Was just about to post this. They were selling "pheremone wipes" in there. Pretty funny if some bloke thinks wiping that on his neck is going to get him some action.
