I hate research

I'm writing a story where humans give off pheromones that bring about the idea of "fated love." I found this interesting article that my non-science brain is trying to decode http://www.anapsid.org/pheromones.html

Anyways, does this say what I think it does? That girls would reach sexual maturity later in life if they were kept away from boys? So if there was an alien society where the girls are kept segregated, then a male popped up among them, it might bring on premature maturation?

Are there any hormones or drugs that would effect human pheromone production? I'm going toward the angle of the mothers being exposed and the children being affected, maybe their sebaceous glands are mutated?
