The term pheromone was first introduced in 1959 by a man named Adolf Butenandt. According to Butenandt, different types of insects release hormones to communicate with its own species. There are many types of messages that insects transmit through the use of pheromones. Studies show that insects often leave trails of food pheromones, sex pheromones and alarm pheromones for their companions to pick up. When it comes to silkworm moth pheromones, Butenandt’s studies showed that silkworm moth pheromones usually leave a trail of sexual attraction. Read the rest of this entry »

If you are wondering the question of how can I make my own pheromones, then you should know that you are not alone. However, you have to realize that the question of how can I make my own pheromones certainly does not refer only to humans, as most of the animal species as well produces pheromones, and so thus the question of how can I make my own pheromones could easily apply to any of them as well.
How Can I Start To Make My Own Pheromones?
If you are wondering the question of how can I make my own pheromones, then the first thing that you are going to have to decide is what type of pheromones you are going to need to make. For instance, if you are talking about human pheromones, then there are many different ways that you can go about this.
Studies and other research have already been done which show that you can make your own pheromones, and in the case of female human pheromones, for instance, there have been studies done where women while they were menstruating put gauze pads underneath their underarms – where the most pheromones are produced during this time – and then removed.
When men were told to smell these pads, they immediately were attracted, and this just goes to show how powerful pheromones are, especially during particular times. In order to make your own pheromones you could take these pads, for instance, and bring them to a lab, where the pheromones could then be excreted and used for various purposes.
If you are looking to make your own animal pheromones, then you should know that this too is possible, and one of the most common reasons that animal pheromones are produced is for the purpose of breeding. Basically, since your animal can only breed at certain times – for the female when she is in heat is the best time – if you create your own animal pheromones then they can basically breed whenever you want them to.
Creating pheromones is a science, and unless you absolutely know what you are doing, then you are definitely going to want to make sure that you get someone to help you along throughout this process. As well, make sure that you take time and effort beforehand so that you can do research and make yourself as knowledgeable and as informed as you possibly can.

Pheromones are chemicals made and secreted by living things to send messages, usually to members of their own species. While popular culture makes the most of pheromones that send a mating message, many insects use pheromones to send a variety of messages. In the insect kingdom, insect pheromone glands are very useful to create signals that can communicate to a large community quickly, to communicate over several miles or to mark a specific area as protected or safe.
