Molecular biology and social science theory
For an indication of how quickly molecular biology can make social science theory seem outdated and sometimes silly…

Study Results: Human pheromones increase flirtatious behavior and ratings of attraction
We showed that a chemical mixture of androstenol and androsterone increases flirtatious behavior in women within 15 minutes of exposure.
Epigenetics, science fiction, and scientific fact
…he also said that chemical signals between organisms can change genetic expression. This allows the social environment to modify gene expression in individuals and in their offspring.
Results: increased flirtatious behavior and self-reported attraction

Pheromones and sexual behavior in birds
Olfactory primacy is central to my model for the development of sexual preferences across species (e.g, including birds).
Is it what he or she sees in you, or is it your pheromones?
Pheromones can make you smell like you look better!
Product comparisons and human pheromone sciences
Product comparison of exposure to affect time: Scent of Eros: 15 minutes; Athena product: 8 weeks; Oxytocin product: no data
Conditioning of the human pair bond by human pheromones
a form of communication exists between the two partners whereby the female informs the male that she has ovulated and he responds, like the dominant rhesus monkey, with an increase in his testosterone level facilitating his entire sexual response cycle.
Human pheromones work by effecting hormones that affect behavior
Copulins are olfactory/pheromonal stimuli from women (human pheromones) that appear to condition increased testosterone and sexual arousal in men.
