Pheromones: Virtual?
There is to my opinion a real question about pheromones. Years ago I did read in the Eranos Jahrbuch. There was psychoanalytica who did describe certain behavior of a patient connected with smell. Reading that I thought I had to conclude that it was pure virtual. The reality she attributed to here patient was her own reality somehow connected to her patient but obviously (?) not his reality. Perhaps something like this applies to the pheromones. Cannot it be that our fantasy which posses us so strong falsifies our observation? Particular in the case of the sense organ smell wish appears to be deluding in many cases.

"Bitch" pheromones?
Look, I realize completely how this is going to read. It's just as difficult to write ... The evidence that there is "something" that causes the often negative inter-female behaviour in humans, whilst of course totally anecdotal, is absolutely overwhelming. Is there any evidence that this is caused by pheromones? A good place to start would appear to be in other animals, which interestingly, in non-human cases, is almost exclusively males. Why do tomcats (indeed many other species of cats), lots of other mammals, siamese fighting fish, some birds, (the list is too numerous) fight when placed in proximity? Is it due to pheromones? Is this related? Noting that often a fight amongst women is called a "cat fight". I will also pose this question in the Sex pheromone page, which talks exclusively about pheromones of attraction. Apologies in advance who finds this entire line of questioning offensive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.218.176.111 (talk • contribs)
