Significant Others: Girlfriends & Boyfriends / Question
Published: March 26, 2003
Dear TeenHealthFX,
Do any of those pheromone colognes really work? They say they actually arouse women, and I'd love to try it with my girlfriend, but I don't want to waste my money. She says she'd be cool with it, too.

Dear Do Pheromone Colognes Work?,
Pheromones are chemicals that are emitted naturally by the body and detected, unconsciously, through the nose. According to some research, they may play a subliminal role in physical attraction between people and other animals.
Lately it seems you can buy pheromone products everywhere. FX cannot give you the final word on whether these colognes work, but it is our guess that they do not. If you are concerned about wasting your money, we suggest you use it to do something romantic for your girlfriend instead.
If you want to do something that will arouse her, we suggest you ask her what she finds arousing. Nothing is more exciting than a partner who listens and wants to please.
Of course, whatever you do, do it safely!
