Gay Pheromone Synthesized--
1st Biotechnology To Identify & Synthesize
Same Sex PheromonesScientists at Metagen Labs in Santa Barbara, CA have identified the variations in human pheromone production that cause same sex attraction between men and a similar variation for same sex attraction between women. The scientists discovered the pheromones while researching for the development of a pheromone stimulation supplement. Metagen, which specializes in the research and development of pheromones, has synthesized these 'Gay pheromones' in two forms - one for men and one for women. 248 self-described Gay men participated in a study to test the 'gay pheromone.' 121 men were given an aftershave which had the added pheromone and 127 were given an untreated aftershave. The men were asked to keep a record of all sexual activities during the study. The results indicated that the men who used the pheromone treated aftershave had been much more sexually active. They reported that it was easier to meet men, that their sex lives were more intense, and that their work environments seemed friendlier. There were also several reported cases in which straight men made passes at the Gay subjects in one form or another. A similar study of 237 self-described Gay women found many of the same results. 116 women were given perfume which had the added pheromone and 121 were given an untreated perfume. The women were also asked to keep diaries of sexual and romantic activities during the study. The women who used the pheromone treated perfume reported a much higher incidence of sexual and romantic activity. The women also reported finding it easier to meet women when they wore the pheromone treated perfume.
"By identifying the 'gay pheromone,' we have provided further proof to the world that homosexuality is a biological characteristic. We are very excited to have the technology to synthesize the pheromones as they have many research and commercial applications, " says Norman Pershing, President to the privately funded, Santa Barbara based, Metagen Labs. Metagen announced recently that distribution rights for the new pheromones have already been granted to The Body Temple which plans to market the undetectable scents as a Gay pheromone cologne for men and a Gay pheromone perfume for women, called Le Soir. While the human sense of smell operates on a conscious level using the olfactory epithelium, the subconscious sense of smell, which reads chemical 'signals', is controlled by the vomeronasal organ (VNO). The two 'Gay pheromones' identified by Metagen are believed to send subconscious signals, recognized by the VNO, that stimulate homosexual attraction between humans.
