"Dear Dr. Kate, I&amp;amp;#8217;m interested in purchasing Athena pheromones, a product which claims to increase your attractiveness. Do these actually work? Scientists have been trying to capture attraction-in-a-bottle for decades, probably centuries. Many products have been marketed, but I&amp;amp;#8217;ve never found an independent, unbiased, well-conducted research study that shows any of them to be effective. I&amp;amp;#8217;m a cynic about pheromones because I suspect that their power lies is the placebo affect&amp;amp;mdash;you feel more confident simply because you&amp;amp;#8217;re taking them. They probably aren&amp;amp;#8217;t harmful, but they are incredibly expensive&amp;amp;mdash;so it does hurt your purse. And in the end, there&amp;amp;#8217;s no substitute for the confidence of believing that you are sexy&amp;amp;mdash;without a pill. Would you use pheromones if they were found to be effective? Have a sex health question of your own? Ask Dr. Kate here, and keep checking back to see if she&amp;#x27;s answered it.
