A pheromone is a type of ectohormone secreted by an individual and perceived by a second individual of the same or similar species, thereby producing a change in the sexual or social behavior of that individual.[1]
Pheromones in humans
Pheromones are important in many animal species but, until recently, were thought to be unimportant in humans.[2] It has now been shown, however, that the timing of ovulation in women can be controlled by pheromones from the armpit. This is believed to be the explanation of the fact that women living together will frequently develop synchronized menstrual cycles.[3][4]
Fleiss et al. (1998) reported that the moisture found under the foreskin contains pheromones such as androsterone and others.[5]
