Imagine that pheromones are like chemical messengers that our body uses to communicate with others. These messengers are secreted by our body and can influence how people around us feel and act.
Exploring the secrets of the Vomeronasal: The Pheromone Organ
Deep in our nose, there is an organ called the vomeronasal organ. This organ is like a kind of radar that detects pheromones and sends them directly to our brain, where our most basic emotions, such as fear and sexual desire, are processed. It's as if our body is communicating on a deeper level, awakening attractions and emotions we didn't even know existed.
How Pheromones Work
When pheromones enter our body through the nose, they are like a signal that tells our brain what to do. They can make us feel attracted to someone or even remind us of certain situations.
Decrease in pheromone levels over time
However, as time goes by, our natural pheromone levels tend to decrease, especially between the ages of 20 and 40. This gradual loss can have an impact on our social and romantic lives, affecting our ability to attract and connect with others.
