  1. The primitive primary sensory sex trigger in humans, as in many living things, is smell. Sight and sound are modern inventions almost exclusive to man. They are primary intellect drivers and only secondary arousals. If man depend on sight and sound arousals for genetic selection and reproduction, we would pretty much be extinct by now. If we survived our genes will still be a mess in a primordial soup.

    From time immemorial, man has tried to master smell but failed. The ancients commercialised the art of perfumery. But this has more to do with semiology or the application of sign processes ie social conditioning of conventions and symbols in communication. It has nothing to do with the underlying biology. Eg we can associate love with the flower rose. We can communicate romance by putting a rose by the candle night dinner and scatter rose petals all over the bed. But this depends on communicating consensus not biology. If there is intellectual agreement between the mating couple, then the pheromones goes on overdrive and triggers the final act.

    If rose to love is biology, then spraying rose essence annonymously through air-con should turn a party into an orgy. This does not happen without going first through an intellectual process. Presumably, this will what the pheromones can do. It can turn a man into a rapist against his concious will. This is why this is still a potentially dangerous science.

    Only recently have we opened the first doors with the understanding of pheromones. It has proved easier to break the Da Vinci or the genome code than to map pheromones. If analysis is elusive then synthesis and application is nigh impossible.

  2. Have you ever wonder what goes into a magic love portion of old. Often, hairs and pubic parts are called for in an amulet to be placed where the target frequents like under the pillow. In effect, they store remnants of natural phenomerone sources into what is praticcally a air freshner satchet and place it where it can stimulate the target. Must be a lucky guess for the ancient practioners.

    So now you know all about magic love portions and the possible science behind the hocus pocus.

  3. I dont care what goes into a magic love potion cos every portion of her is love altho only 1 portion is created for love making which carries the natural arousal smell that no perfume or the indo forest fumes can match……

    Is that a declaration of love. For whom the bell toll?

    We torn apart, heart from mind. Both want different things.

    From Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet

    “Thy wit, that ornament to shape and love, misshapen in the conduct of them both, like powder in a skilless soldier’s flask, is set afire by thine own ignorance, and thou dismemb’red with thine own defense.”

    Updated translation – Your words don’t jive with your pheromones.

  5. See, KT, you put it in 7 words but that befuddled had to struggle with 36 words and still, many are no wiser what he wants to say.

    Me remember my literature teacher, a Mr De Souza. He really was an ah di susah….and we had to take turns to go for toilet breaks to avoid his verbosity……was his a serious case of his phermones bothering him?

  6. The way to better sex, health and happiness may be through smell.

    In response to odorous stimuli, the hypothalamus is stimulated. The difference is that smelling an androgen-like compound stimulates women; while smelling an estrogen-like substance stimulates men. This suggests the sex-differentiated behavioral response in humans.

    We know that the luteinizing hormone (LH) response, which is elicited by human pheromones, explains the development of human mate preferences, just as they explain mate choice and properly timed reproductive sexual behavior.

    After its sensing by women, the male pheromones, especially the ones released in their perspiration, have been shown to advance the onset of the next peak of LH causing reduced tension and increased relaxation in the women. This is nature’s way of controlling the menstrual cycle, and therefore, fertility.

    Raised levels of dopamine and norepinephrine electrify the reward system in the brains of lovers, which gives them that lovesick feeling, or ecstasy and elation, or despair and rage, depending on the match.

    There is a segment of our DNA called the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) that controls proteins involved in immunity–and in producing our own singular smell. The levels are different in men and women.

    So, theoretically, it is possible to concoct and adjust love or happiness potion formulae to change the way it affects men and women.

    The solution to all our world problems may be just a bottle away.

  7. Hahahaha, KT, are you serious? Are you for real?

    Surely, the best sex needs no grandiloquent analysis (#6)…….by then you need to pop down another viagra. Some kissing, foreplay and then chiong.

    Try that.

    Viagra is mechanical. Matter over mind. It is like trusting your sex to a machine.

    The sildenafil citrate (the active component of Viagra) attaches to the PDE5 enzyme in his penis and works by disabling PDE5. When the man becomes sexually aroused, the brain sends the normal message to the NANC cells in his penis, which produce nitric oxide as usual. The nitric oxide creates cGMP, which starts relaxing the arteries in his penis. Since the PDE5 has been disabled, the cGMP in the penis does not break down. Instead, it builds up and lets the arteries in the penis fully dilate.

    Viagra can create a number of negative side effects. Primarily, it can increase the risk of heart attacks and a over-drug dependency for any erection. “No pill, no do”.

    The quality of sex is aother thing. Orgasms are an affair of sexual wiring. Not of sexual plumbing. Do you know what it means to be left standing after orgasm, or worse, without one.

    Pain and Embarrassment …. (hee-hee)

    Ye ole fashion way is better. Seduction with pheromone overdose.

  9. Hahahahaha, KT KT, all I did was to help boost yr sex drive by asking you to pop down the pill and not drive thru a long speech that will put her to sleep. But what I got in return were “PDE5, NANC, cGMP…..”

    You huh really very the “knn, tgl, mck…….”
