It's worth reading through Lyall Watson' neat book "Jacobson's Organ and the Remarkable Nature of Smell", a nearly defunct smell organ in people, but one which links to the limbic brain. However, we have no conscious knowledge of odours picked up by this organ. Nevertheless we can react to things the organ detects, and pheromones are one of the odours that it appears to detect. I think it might well be at the bottom of some ghost sightings - the limbic brain is being told 'someone's there', so we are in effect 'expecting to see someone'. It might also explain why sometimes we are sure someone is in a space despite out other organs telling us otherwise.
If I was of a mind, I'd be hunting for a mould or some such that emitted some kind of pheromone-like chemical and is common in (haunted) buildings.
Respectfully, some simply expected that their unsupported declarations would be accepted at face value and some members here adopt a more empirical approach to the unexplained and with this approach, anecdotal evidence has very little probative value.
This approach is often taken as a challenge to a personal beliefs and met with hostility and/or leaving the board.
On the first point - Are you talkikng about what is often called the 'Sixth Sense"?
"
1. What is sixth sense?
Sixth sense, or subtle perception ability, is our ability to perceive the subtle-dimension or the unseen world of angels, ghosts, Heaven (Swarga), etc. It also includes our ability to understand the subtle cause and effect relationships behind many events, which are beyond the understanding of the intellect. Extrasensory perception (ESP), clairvoyance, premonition, intuition are synonymous with sixth sense or subtle perception ability. Throughout this website we use the words sixth sense, ESP and subtle perception ability interchangeably.
2. What do we perceive and understand with sixth sense?
The SSRF defines the word 'subtle world' or 'spiritual dimension' as the world which is beyond the understanding of the five senses, mind and intellect. The subtle world refers to the unseen world of angels, ghosts, heaven, etc. which can only be perceived through our sixth sense.
We perceive the gross or seen world through the five physical senses (i.e. smell, taste, sight, touch and sound), our mind (our feelings), and our intellect (decision making capacity). When it comes to the unseen world or the subtle-world, we perceive it through the five subtle-senses, the subtle-mind and the subtle-intellect – this is what is known as our sixth sense. When the sixth sense is developed or activated, it helps us to experience the subtle-world or subtle-dimension. This experience of the subtle-world is also known as a ‘spiritual experience’. It is through sixth sense that SSRF seekers have obtained Divine Knowledge on different topics such as life after death, kundalini awakening and the coming World War 3.........

I am postulating that sex and its expression in porn is a different case scenario.
Sex is a generating force behind most higher forms of biological life - I don't think that is disputable.
So even though a heightened ESP / Sixth Sense may occur - its importance may be higher than
simply increased sensory awareness - Atheist, Theist, or Agnostic - It is hard to deny 'significance
and meaning' when it obviously is present. - And no, I do not know exactly what the significance and
meanit is.
AS far as the Second point on my complaint about the Fortean forums being 'clannish'.......
[SO BE IT! THE REST OF THE POST HAS COME BACK - FATE IS AT WORK!!!]
...... Nice to be friends on a friendly forum - And I suppose those of you who have been
here for years have developed a symbiotic ambience that leads to giving each other 'likes'
- Of course to an outside observer it soon becomes apparent that quite a few posters
are dishing out likes on responses of little meaning, just so they will be rewarded in kind.
So what? - There is no money involved here - So now 'likes' are like gold, shekels, bread,
or whatever you call the exchange medium - As more than one well to do individual has
told me over the years "Money don't count - It's just how we keep score"
And in the New World of Liberalism and equality you can see how 'insider trading' in 'Likes'
might be viewed as unjust.
At any rate I am not asking for a handout - Just keep an open mind.
We wouldn't be here if Charles Fort did not have and open mind would we?
