Pheromone perfume helps with love at any age

The mysterious chemical substance which serves girls as sexual attractant will, probably, help women with the climacterical period.

John Fribly from Harvard, the USA, and Susan Rako, the doctor from Newton, Massachusetts, have conducted research with participation of 44 women of postmenopausal age. Half of them added in their perfume the pheromone "Athena 10-13", synthesized by extraction of sample of sweat from female armpits, and the second half used in the same way a placebo. Neither women, nor researchers know, what group this or that woman belongs to till the end of the experiment. The participants of experiment kept diaries within six weeks. The 41 % of women who used pheromone have fixed that their relations with the partner became tender, with more kisses and love demonstration. Only 14% of those who used a placebo had the same results. In general 68% of those who used pheromone have mentioned more "kinds of socially-sexual activity", that is, for example, romantic dates and sexual episodes, than 41% of those who used a placebo.

But the biologist and pheromone founder Winifred B. Kutler still keeps its exact structure a secret. "This still mysterious substance which should be used individually in known proportions", - says George Preti from the Center of chemical researches of Monella in Philadelphia. Fribly and Rako assert that they didn't pursue commercial objectives, conducting the research.
