“We at Master & Mistress have been looking for some years, to display, promote and provide seminars to a conference such as LENY New York”, Mr. Caplan remarked. He continued; “Our products are neither Adult or mainstream gift, with an edge, sophistication, elegance and dark romance that is usually lost in larger gift trade shows. LENY New York, growing out of the London trade show that is going on it’s ninth (9th) year, is one of the few that actually represents the alternative industry in a tasteful and professional way.”

LENY London Edge New York comments that it is; “The streetwear, alternative, rock & cult fashion tradeshow”. With a team in the United States and a solid, committed group from London, the buzz and attendance looks to be in excess of last year’s introductory show.

Have you ever wondered how different species know when to mate and who to mate with? How can they tell the difference between someone of the same sex, much less whether another organism is of the same species? This can be answered by chemical signals kn own as pheromones. Pheromones are unique and highly specific chemical signals produced by an organism that signals its presence to other members of the same species. Each organism have different pheromones they release during mating that helps them to id entify each other and start the process of mating. Pheromones come not only in forms of sex attractants, but also as alarm pheromones, aggregation pheromones, and dispersion pheromones(1).
How do we know that such a chemical exists in organisms? In 1956, German scientists were able to identify the first ever pheromone in silkworm moths. After 20 years of research and over half a million female moths later, they were able to extract a pecu liar compound from certain glands located on the tip of the abdomen. When even a small amount of this substance was exposed to male moths, they would begin to beat their wings madly in a iflutter dancei. This indicated that they had detected the powerfu l sex attractant from the females that caused this type of behavior. After extracting extraneous matter and purifying the substance, scientists ended up with the first ever chemically pure pheromone. Since then, various other organisms have been studied and more is understood about the effects of pheromone, but not much is known about how pheromones work in more complex vertebrates such as humans.

The next logical question to ask is how are these chemical signals recognized? Studies have shown that pheromone is first recognized by the chemical receptors in the vomeronasal organ (VNO) and olfactory bulbs located in the nose; signals are then sent t o the hypothalamus of the brain. In an experiment conducted on virgin male mice where their VNO was removed, the mice were found to generally not mate with receptive females, even if the maleis olfactory nerves were not damaged. This showed that the VNO s are needed in order start certain chains of reactions already programmed in the brain. Further studies show that when male mice have begun to associate sexual activity with other cues from females, including smells they become less dependent on the VNO s. A sexually experienced male whois VNO is removed will mate almost as frequently as a male whois VNO is still intact(2). (more…)

What are pheromones?

Pheromones are chemicals that send out subconscious scent signals to the opposite sex that naturally trigger attraction, arousal and readiness for sex. When a woman receives the chemical-hormonal signals, she automatically, instinctively responds - without even realizing what is drawing her to you.

What is pheromone wipe?

Magnetic Pheromone Wipe is pheromone based wet wipe . It contains pure human pheromones. How it is said on the package of the wipe “Wipe your neck and wrist to boost your sex appeal!”

A number of pheromones and pheromone-like substances have been isolated in humans, and have been shown in scientific studies to have an affect on a variety of human behavior and hormonal processes.

Whether these effects are 100% “true” pheromone reactions or not is an interesting point and worthy of further investigation, but is a moot point to the perfume industry. (more…)

Named for Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of sensuality, eroticism, and sexuality, an aphrodisiac is something that turns you on and increases your desire to have sex. Aphrodisiacs may also improve your ability to have sex. This means that under the right circumstances almost anything could have aphrodisiac qualities. Most people think of something to eat or drink when they think of aphrodisiacs. Traditionally, aphrodisiacs were foods and plant extracts. Now they’re also human-made substances.

Some aphrodisiacs work because they feed your body what it needs to produce your own natural sexy chemicals. A number of the aphrodisiacs mentioned in our women’s and men’s sections fall into the category referred to as adaptogens. These substances work with your central nervous system (CNS) to deliver more energy and endurance when you need them. But unlike other CNS stimulants, such as caffeine or amphetamines, they don’t give you that extra boost and then follow it with a big letdown. They don’t deplete your body’s reserves; instead, they build them. (more…)

In a succinct guide, author and researcher William Livingstone has packed information on proven, ancient herbal sexual aphrodisiacs. Obscure sources are uncovered as a result of over twenty years of avid health research. Ancient Chinese and Indian products are examined, with their historical plus suggested usage, products helpful for erectile dysfunction (E.D.), impotence, and low libido (sex drive.)

West Palm Beach, FL, July 25, 2008 –(PR.com)– A multitude of men are increasingly dissatisfied with their sex drive, with many suffering from erectile dysfunction (E.D.), low libido and impotence. Many factors contribute to this decline in male sexual potency, including overwork, stress, lack of sleep, and estrogens in the environment, among others.

Many men are turning to the natural alternatives to prescription drugs being touted on the Internet, tv infomercials, radio, or in print ads. Most, if not all these products are overpriced and many contain yohimbe, an herb known to raise blood pressure. These products may also be weak, and a waste of the consumer’s money. Though there are some that may work, they are usually for a quick term result, not for the long term building of a flagging libido.

Some men – and a good few women – are not averse to taking Viagra to give their sex lives a little extra spice even though they don’t really need it. Personally I’ve always been wary of buying prescription drugs over the net, as this can be very dangerous. Here’s a smart alternative. Holland and Barrett have a range of natural products created to enhance your libido. These include Horny Goat Weed (available in male and female varieties) which is believed to naturally improve libido; Damiana Leaves which were originally used by indigenous cultures of Central America to improve libido and stimulate oxygen flow to the genitals to improve potency; and Muira Puama, known as ‘potency wood’ which was used by Brazil’s indigenous tribes as an aphrodisiac, to treat erectile dysfunction and to help maintain an erection.

We all know that flowers make a perfect gift for women who are discerning and elegant. To coincide with National Orgasm Day on July 31st, Emotional Bliss, the UK vibrator company, has commissioned leading French floral designer Arôme Créateur Floral to create an aphrodisiac-themed floral arrangement.

An entirely original floral arrangement which not only appeals to Emotional Bliss’ core clientele of women aged 40 to 60 years of age, but also composed of aphrodisiacs and spices which subtly and tastefully evoke the theme of female sexuality.

The “gourmet bouquet” features a variety of seasonal blooms as well as anthuriums, an exotic flower which has an unusual appearance: a huge glossy heart, surrounding a phallic-looking stamen. Bananas, baby corn, orange peppers and carrots are included as their shape is reminiscent of sexual organs and reputed to enhance sexual desire. Ginger roots are also used as they excite the senses.

A number of pheromones and pheromone-like substances have been isolated in humans, and have been shown in scientific studies to have an affect on a variety of human behavior and hormonal processes.
Whether these effects are 100% “true” pheromone reactions or not is an interesting point and worthy of further investigation, but is a moot point to the perfume industry.

The effects of pheromones may be modulated by the sexual experience of the target and/or by the extent to which the target’s VNO is still functional, but the fact is that a number of controlled human studies have shown that pheromones both natural and synthetic/supplemental do affect our social behavior, and a growing mountain of raving pheromone product testimonials also support these findings.

Furthermore, I have yet to come across even one pheromone study that has failed to show some significant effects from pheromones, and until that happens there is little alternative but to assume that pheromones work.

What follows are abstracts of controlled studies showing a relationship between supplemental pheromone use and human behavior.

Pheromones are volatile, odorous substances which are released by one animal and detected by another, causing some sort of physiological reaction. These reactions can manifest themselves in a variety of different ways: some pheromones modulate sexual activity, some affect aggression, some play roles in territory marking, and other pheromones have similarly diverse effects on the target animal. Pheromones have been demonstrated in a very large number of organisms ranging from amoebas to fish to mammals, including primates. However, the question of whether human olfactory signals exist has been a question of much debate and few definite conclusions. In this paper I will look at some possible examples of odor signaling in humans. (more…)

Dr Cutler explains her discovery of human pheromones
By Dr. Winnifred Cutler
Excerpted from the newsletter Women’s Health Connection, vol II, number 5b
copyright Women’s Health Connection, PO Box 6338, Madison WI, 53716

Throughout the animal kingdom, it was well known (by 1979) that females emit sex attractants that cause males (of the same species) to approach. Animal pheromones were so well understood, by the late 70’s, that manufacturers were marketing them as pest controls; pheromones were used to lure and divert animals and bugs to traps to prevent crop and flower damage. I was fortunate to be one of the scientists working on the research that proved the existence of human pheromones for the first time. (more…)

Pheromones are airborne chemical signals that are released by an individual into the environment and which affect the physiology or behaviour of other members of the same species. The idea that humans produce pheromones has excited the imagination of scientists and the public, leading to widespread claims for their existence, which, however, has remained unproven. Here we investigate whether humans produce compounds that regulate a specific neuroendocrine mechanism in other people without being consciously detected as odours (thereby fulfilling the classic definition of a pheromone). We found that odourless compounds from the armpits of women in the late follicular phase of their menstrual cycles accelerated the preovulatory surge of luteinizing hormone of recipient women and shortened their menstrual cycles. Axillary (underarm) compounds from the same donors which were collected later in the menstrual cycle (at ovulation) had the opposite effect: they delayed the luteinizing-hormone surge of the recipients and lengthened their menstrual cycles. By showing in a fully controlled experiment that the timing of ovulation can be manipulated, this study provides definitive evidence of human pheromones.

The behavior of animals is strongly influenced by pheromones — chemicals made by one animal and “smelled” by another. Mating, dominance among males, weaning, recognition of members of social groups, and level of stress are all influenced, even controlled, by pheromones. Inside of the nose of nonhuman mammals is a specialized organ for receiving pheromones, which then communicates through special neural pathways to the hypothalamus. Until the last few years, common wisdom has been that humans did not communicate using pheromones. Then four years ago, a pheromone receptor was found in the human nose. (more…)
