I get my sexuality from a bottle

Magically attract who ever you want with liquid sex in a bottle.

That’s what some companies that bottle human pheromones and sell them online promise. After buying a bottle, for "investigation purposes," I asked a few guys around campus what they thought of the smell.

"It smells like a hot girl," sophomore Peter Vircuiz said.

That "hot girl" scent is composed of the sweat from a female’s underarms. That’s right - pheromones are made up of human sweat, preferably from the underarms, but sometimes it's taken from somewhere else. You're dirty if you look at this link; just use your imagination.

So maybe they do work, but how? It all started where things usually start: with a woman. Dr. Martha McClintock discovered that it’s not just members of the opposite sex who are affected by pheromones.

In fact, women who were exposed other women’s perspiration, a.k.a pheromones, caused their menstrual cycle to speed up or slow down. I’ve known this since the third grade. While growing up with two sisters and a step-mom, we all menstruated around the same time of month. My poor father.

Just think of what kind of world we’re living in. Being able to attract whoever you want... But wait, not so fast. We should stop and think: maybe there is a reason why the dorky guy who sits next to you in your creative writing class is attracted to you and why you can’t seem to stop drooling every time your roommate’s brother comes around. Maybe there is a reason that people are attracted to certain kinds of other people.

By spritzing yourself with pheromones, you could be messing with Mother Nature. Imagine if you sprayed yourself with the Flavor Flav’s pheromones...what kind of women would you attract? You might not exactly find yourself a soul mate.

According to an article in Psychology Today we are actually attracted to certain pheromones because of our genetic makeup. Humans typically are attracted to other people whose backgrounds and immune systems are different from ours.

So maybe its not destiny, but there is a system to this craziness, and by attempting to buy someone else’s sexuality and use it is not only messing with that system, it's being dishonest.
