The unconscious
affect of progesteronic pheromones on luteinizing hormone and testosterone (reduced testosterone) compared to the
unconscious affect of estrogenic pheromones (e.g., copulins) on testosterone (presumably via luteinizing hormone)
explains these findings. Progesterone levels are highest near menses, estrogen levels are highest near ovulation.
It's not only axillary odor that is influenced by the hormone cycle in women; it's any production of all natural
body odor. But we can't have men being subjected to testing the vaginal odors of women, can we?
In other
animals, the hormone driven changes are responsible for properly timed reproductive sexual behavior.
