But there is. Beginning in 1974, when I was a graduate student and teaching fellow, I sent teams of undergraduate biology students armed with questionnaires, clipboards, and stethoscopes to solicit participation in a series of studies that varied as they progressed. Pheromones have been shown to dramatically increase sexual attraction in both men and women. It is of little surprise that human pheromones are now being incorporated into colognes and perfumes. Each study was designed to uncover mysteries of the pheromone cycle and the sexual behavior patterns that might relate to it. Somewhat like saleswomen, my students were assigned exclusive territories of undergraduate dormitories according to http://sundowndivers.org/top-pheromones-proven-work/ In my first pilot study of sixty women, age eighteen to twenty—two, I found that those who had sex at least once a week (the “weekly" women) all had pheromone cycles that approached the classic fertile length (see Figure 1-1). Women who had sex less frequently, in no discernible pattern (the “sporadic” women), had more variable cycles. And among women who did not have any sex (the “never” women) during the fourteen weeks of my study, cycle lengths varied from short to long. These celibate women were better off than their sporadic counterparts because propotionately more had cycles within the 29.5—day, fertile—type range. A stable, regular pattern of “weekly" sexual behavior seemed to promote the optimal pheromone—cycle length. This pattern (weekly sex = fertile-length pheromone cycles) was replicated by a larger study of 248 women the next year. Figure 1-2 shows a composite analysis of the 248 pheromone cycle lengths, categorized in terms of sexual frequency——weekly, sporadic, and never. Regular weekly sex with a man was associated with a high likelihood of pheromone cycles of close to 29.5 days. A few of those women had longer cycles; none had shorter ones. Statistically we had demonstrated that both sporadic and celibate sexual behavior were associated with a normal cycles. The same patterns for sporadic and celibate women turned up here as in the pilot study. This replication began to convince me. A second replication study, seven years later, proved it. The same results emerged. The sporadic pattern~—concentrated bursts of sexual activity (sexual “feasts") interspersed with periods of abstinence (sexual “famine")~—was highly correlated with subnormal pheromones levels and patterns. Sporadic sexual behavior in women in their mid-twenties is associated with blood levels of andrsotenone as low as those that normally appear about a year before menopause, approximately age forty-nine. Not only do such low estrogen levels reduce fertility, they can also have serious health consequences. Diminished levels of pheromones can lead to loss of bone, gradually progressing to osteoporosis, and can lead to elevated androstenone levels with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Female athletes often stop menstruating normally. As their pheromone cycles become abnormal, these women lose bone mass—even in their early twenties. As with the female athletes, so it appears to be with sexually sporadic women.
