assessed as less appealing by the young men. At the same time, the 
young women with disordered menstrual cycle give higher rate to the 
men’s odor as compared to the healthy young women. The first sexual 
experience decreases subjective estimates that the young women make of 
the young male odor samples. In contrast, the young men make higher 
estimates of the young women odor samples upon acquisition of their 
first sexual experience. Sexually naïve young men and women are 
characterized by the high background spectral density of the 
bioelectric activity power. Hormonal rearrangement associated with the 
menstrual cycle phases in young women affect electric activity of the 
brain both with and without odor stimulation. Independently of their 
sexual experience, EEG-reactions of the young women to the male odor in 
the non-receptive phase of the menstrual cycle are manifested in the 
lower spectral power of the EEG rhythms.

We studied the influence of the sexual pheromones on the immune 

and behavioral defence from infection risks. Odor samples of the young 
men with chronic acute respiratory and infectious diseases were given 
the lower estimates of appeal. For instance, odor samples of the 
individuals infected by gonorrhea were characterized by the young women 
as unpleasant putrid smells. In this case, the negative estimate was 
due to the infection status only. After a course of medical treatment 
of these gonorrhea patients their odor samples were assessed as 
pleasant floral smells.

Correlation analysis between mutual odor appeal estimates of young 

men and women revealed progressive increase of this correlation as 
biological and social relevance of finding an optimal partner 
increased.

Thus, the influence pattern of psychophysiological and social 

factors on the estimate of the odor probe appeal is in agreement with 
the requirements that reproductively relevant non-verbal signals should 
conform.
