Who developed the human
pheromone-enhanced product that you are going to
buy?
James Vaughn Kohl has worked as a clinical laboratory
scientist since 1974, and he has devoted more than twenty-five years
to researching the relationship between the sense of smell and the
development of human sexual preferences. Unlike many researchers who
work with non-human subjects, clinical laboratory scientists use the
latest technology from many scientific disciplines to perform a
variety of specialized diagnostic medical testing on people. James
V. Kohl is certified with the National
Credentialing Agency for Laboratory
Personnel,
American
Society for Clinical Laboratory
Science,
and the American
Medical Technologists. He is a member of the Society for Neuroscience,
the Society for
Behavioral Neuroendocrinology, the Association
for Chemoreception Sciences, the Society for the Scientific Study of
Sexuality,
the International Society for Human
Ethology and the international high IQ society
Mensa. Kohl began presenting his findings to the
scientific community in 1992, and continues to present to, and
publish for, diverse scientific and lay audiences, while constantly
monitoring the scientific presses for new information that is
relevant to his conceptualization of human pheromones.
James V. Kohl was invited to participate
during the prestigious International Behavioral Development
Symposium:
Biological Basis of Sexual Orientation and Sex-Typical
Behavior (1995), which is reported here: "... 89 scientists participated... [T]he conference
was... the first to assemble virtually all the top researchers in
the field." He returned to
participate in the equally prestigious second symposium held
in 2000, and the third symposium held in
2005. His 2001 peer-reviewed journal
publication Human Pheromones: Integrating Neuroendocrinology and
Ethology (with distinguished colleagues from Vienna)
detailed the role of human pheromones in heterosexual attraction,
and received The Zdenek Klein award for the best paper linking
hormones and behavior. James Kohl recently contributed a book
chapter on human pheromones to the Handbook of the Evolution of Human
Sexuality. “The
Mind's Eyes: Human Pheromones, Neuroscience, and Male Sexual
Preferences" was
simultaneously published in the Journal of Psychology & Human
Sexuality. For
his most recent publication, he received the 2006 Reiss Theory Award
from the Foundation for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (FSSS).
The award is given annually for the best social science article,
chapter, or book published in the previous year in which theoretical
explanations of human sexual attitudes and behaviors are developed.
In conjunction with the award, Kohl was an invited plenary session
speaker at the annual meeting of the Society for the Scientific
Study of Sexuality (SSSS) in November, 2007, which was held in
Indianapolis,
Indiana.
In 1996,
James Kohl established the Internet domain pheromones.com as an information source - when the
concept of human pheromones was a new concept. Pheromones.com continues to include the latest
information that supports Kohl's biologically based model for the
development of human sexual preferences. This is one reason why
James V. Kohl is considered by many to be the foremost
internationally known authority on human pheromones. Even a 2004
Nobel Prize winner in Physiology and/or Medicine (i.e, Dr. Richard
Axel) has a link from his laboratory: the Axel Lab, to pheromones.com.
James V. Kohl's 1995 book was released in
2002 as an updated paperback edition. Kohl’s concept of human pheromones, which
was first presented in 1992, is no longer new. Using a wealth of
published research findings, he has fully detailed the overwhelming
evidence for the effect of pheromones on physiology and their
unconscious affect on human sexual preferences and human sexual
behavior. Recently, Kohl integrated scientific evidence that
pinpoints the physiological effects of pheromones by linking them to
genes in hormone-secreting cells of tissue in a specific area of the
brain that is primarily involved in the integration of olfactory and
visual input, and in the development of human sexual
preferences.

pheromones have influenced your behavior, or the behavior of someone
you know, is always welcome. Unfortunately, Kohl is not always able

Bloom's theories
connecting pheromonal transmission, social moodswings, history,
evolution, physiology and psychology have been called "mesmerizing"
(The Washington Post), "revolutionary" (Elizabeth F. Loftus,
Professor of Psychology, University of Washington, author of Memory
and Eyewitness Testimony), "a long step forward in the human effort
to understand human biology" (Dr. Richard Bergland, founder of the
department of neurosurgery, Sloan/Kettering, author of The Fabric of
Mind), and "great fun to read" (Martin Gardner, author,
"Mathematical Games" section, Scientific American, 1956-1983,
contributor, The New York Review of Books, author, The Annotated
Alice, The New Ambidextrous Universe, On the Wild Side, etc., etc.).
Wired Magazine compares Bloom's book The Lucifer Principle: a
scientific expedition into the forces of history to the works of
Charles Darwin.

Greg
Bear's award-winning science fiction shows that he is well
informed about human pheromones and their affects on behavior. He
incorporates his scientific knowledge, while anticipating knowledge
that is yet to come. Greg's "raw insight" is amazing!
Helen Fisher reviewed The Scent of Eros: Mysteries of
Odor in Human Sexuality before it was published in 1995, and said
"This is science at its best, with adventure, ideas, and lots of
facts... You will never loook at your lover or your family the same
way again."
