A special book for those seeking knowledge about pheromones. James Van Kohl, one of the world’s most renowned experts on human pheromones, takes you on an incredible journey through the fascinating subject of human semiochemical compounds.
The authors prove that humans are no exception and, like animals, communicate through scent. Scent helps us distinguish family from strangers, choose a partner, and influences the menstrual cycle, how often we have sex, and with whom. The publication is in English.
Scientists have long known that chemical communication via pheromones is a powerful influence on how animals develop, mate, bond, and nurture their offspring. Human animals are no exception. Pheromones, explain the authors, alter hormone levels, can accelerate puberty, control women’s menstrual cycles, influence our choice in a mate, and even influence our sexual orientation. They help us tell lovers and family members from strangers and are essential to the mother-infant bond. Pheromones influence how often we have sex, and with whom. They influence how the brain develops, what we remember, and how we learn. Grounded in solid scientific research, yet maintaining an easy-to-read style, The Scent of Eros is an engrossing read about a whole new world under our noses! Kohl and Francoeur show the pathway from social-environmental sensory input to the hormones that influence our behavior, especially our sexual behavior. The authors suggest and show that pheromones are the primary link between the nature and the nurture of human sexuality.
