I was not sure where to post this really.

What I'm highly interested in is figuring out most of the sites that pheromones are emitted from in significant quantities.

For example, we know a female's private cavity produces volatile fatty acids, copulins which I believe is a combination of 6 different acids which are propanoic, methylpropanoic, butanoic, methylbutanoic and methylpentanoic and one other?

I am looking for a layman's understanding for perhaps both male and female sites, the differences between pheromones emitted from a specific site such as the pheromone types that would be taken from a male armpit opposed to some different pheromones found in a female's armpit. And the ones in common as well.

I am unsure if these are all the areas (no way I'm thinking) but I'll list some that I suspect may be sites for significant pheromone production:

Known:
Armpits - Males/Females

Maybe:
Inner thighs near the genital region? (for both males and females)

It would be awesome if someone on the forum perhaps had access to a resource that could even label these locations and % of each pheromone generally emitted from each respective part eventually.

Perhaps knowing what pheromone is in the highest quantity produced from the armpit would be a nice place to start. May even give a good idea for what single molecule to add to a product mix for example to simulate a state that seemed as if you just had worked out, or just had sex, etc.

To attempt to simplify this a bit more:

It would be awesome to somehow test pheromone content on one's armpits of both males and females in three different specific situations:


If certain pheromones are more or less abundant in the different situations I feel it'd be highly interesting.

Anyway, suggestions/comments/ideas?

I am guessing it's mostly any place that we sweet the most.

So hair, underarms, groin region, etc. Places with a lot of sweet glands.

hmmmmm i always thought of our body sweat as our natural body air-conditioning along with bad odor..... Perhaps it's more than that...

It'd be highly interesting to know if specific pheromones are more abundant in % composition at certain sweat sites rather than others.

Thank you for reading.

I'd check into the sebaceous glands of the scalp as an area for releasing oil based (long lasting) pheromones as opposed to the quick-acting axillary secretions.

Most of the stuff that we use is considered an axillary (armpit) secretion. The scalp and prostate, however, have concentrated levels of the enzyme 5alpha-reductase which converts free testosterone into DHT (the stuff that causes hair loss.) While it would be very interesting from an evo-bio perspective to test DHT to see what effect it might have pheromonally, my bets are 2:1 against it being a positive.

I am going to say that with females locations will include their breasts and nipples and in their saliva and exhaled breath as well. Rather it may be these are hormones with pheromones that I am both tasting and smelling.
