What the heck are copulins? I came across them when doing some research about pheromones. For some reason, the word copulins makes the think of little green men or minions but they are very different. In contrast to my mental image, copulins are chemicals secreted from the vagina. Chemically they are complicated secretions with aliphatic acids, alcohol, hydroxy keytones and aromatic compounds. Scientists have been studying copulins since the mid 90s and have proven that they can affect and even control a man's tendencies to take direction from the woman. Copulins have even been proven to increase testosterone levels in men by up to 150%.
The chemical compound in copulins are specifically designed to cause a man's limbic system to shut down by imitating polypeptide neurotransmitters and take control of the hypothalimus. While I don't know what I just typed in the previous sentence, it sounds eerily like mind control. I'd like to thank the university of Berkeley for making me sound smart. So our bodies create chemicals that are literally designed to help our men accept our lead. Copulins are classified as a type of pheromone since they are produced vaginally and trigger certain behavioral changes in their victims men who inhale then.
Women's secretions peak during ovulation so you quite literally smell sexier. Perfume companies have created synthetic copulins but the male mind is keen enough to distinguish these fakes. Chemical companies have been able to re-create similar chemical compounds and a study rating women's facial attractiveness 14% higher and by rating themselves 21% more desirable to women. Some women have found great success in touching themselves and placing their odor on his neck during a kiss to help reinforce her dominance and assert her desirability. When men smell copulins, their bodies secrete androstenone which has an interesting effect of repelling women who are not ovulating. If you aren't ovulating, this can include you!
The scientific basis of chemistry between two people is absolutely factual and physical attraction between two people is absolutely based around highly compatible chemical compounds reacting to one another. Our bodies are actually designed to be attracted to mates with immune systems that are different to ensure the survival of the species. Like pheromones, kissing is also very important since the body releases oxytocin during a kiss. Oxytocin not only reinforces pair bonding but it also triggers the release of copulins in the woman especially while she is ovulating. Fun fact - kissing the exact same man during different parts of our cycle will give us different chemical reactions. This might give us the perception that he is a good or a bad kisser depending on variances in our own body chemistry.
The man's salivary testosterone and cortisol levels after smelling copulins increase exponentially. This results in near immediate and spontaneous sexual arousal in most men. Although men are typically seen as visually stimulated, they can be stimulated via chemicals and the old olfactory system equally as effectively.…
