Gay men's brains responded differently from those of heterosexual men when exposed to sexual stimuli from pheromones. The homosexual men's brain responded more like those of women when the men sniffed a chemical from the male hormone testosterone. "It is one more piece of evidence ... that is showing that sexual orientation is not all learned," said Sandra Witelson, an expert on brain anatomy and sexual orientation at the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.
Findings clearly show a biological involvement in sexual orientation?
They exposed heterosexual men and women and homosexual men to chemicals derived from male and female sex hormones. These chemicals are thought to be pheromones - molecules known to trigger responses such as defense and sex in many animals. The brains of different groups responded similarly to ordinary odors such as lavender, but differed in their response to pheromones. The researchers divided 36 subjects into three groups - heterosexual men, heterosexual women and homosexual men. They studied the brain's response to sniffing the chemicals, using PET scans. All the subjects were healthy, unmedicated, right-handed and HIV negative. When they sniffed smells like cedar or lavender, all of the subjects' brains reacted only in the olfactory region that handles smells. But when confronted by a chemical from testosterone, the male hormone, portions of the brains active in sexual activity were activated in straight women and in gay men, but not in straight men, the researchers found. The response in gay men and straight women was concentrated in the hypothalamus with a maximum in the preoptic area that is active in hormonal and sensory responses necessary for sexual behavior, the researchers said. And when estrogen, the female hormone was used, there was only a response in the olfactory portion of the brains of straight women. Homosexual men had their primary response also in the olfactory area, with a very small reaction in the hypothalamus, while heterosexual men responded strongly in the reproductive region of the brain. In a separate study looking at people's response to the body odors of others, researchers in Philadelphia found sharp differences between gay and straight men and women. "Our findings support the contention that gender preference has a biological component that is reflected in both the production of different body odors and in the perception of and response to body odors," said neuroscientist Charles Wysocki, who led the study. In particular, he said, finding differences in body odors between gay and straight individuals indicates a physical difference. It's hard to see how a simple choice to be gay or lesbian would influence the production of body odor, he said. Wysocki's team at the Monell Chemical Senses Center studied the response of 82 heterosexual and homosexual men and heterosexual and homosexual women to the odors of underarm sweat collected from 24 donors of varied gender and sexual orientation. They found that gay men differed from heterosexual men and women and from lesbian women, both in terms of which body odors gay men preferred and how their own body odors were regarded by the other groups. Gay men preferred odors from gay men, while odors from gay men were the least preferred by heterosexual men and women and by lesbian women in the study. Their findings, released Monday, are to be published in the journal Psychological Science in September.
Gay Men Pheromones Pheromore-G is a non-fragrant, man for man pheromone developed exclusively for 10% PRODUCTIONS and the gay male community. Scientists at Human Pheromone Science Institute in Fremont, CA have discovered the proper chemical mixture of human pheromones that cause same-sex attraction between men.
