Hi there everyone,
Long time user of pheromones (since 2003), but just really starting to look at their uses. A quick background around my introduction.
Back in the 80s (I believe) there was documentary about pig sweat being a funky pheromone with exaggerated claims. I grew up seeing the ads in the back of the magazines and writing them off as spurious claims like spanish fly. Of course I was still curious, so I remembered those ads.
Flash forward to 1994. Then after college I was dating an undergrad who had a super sharp, super sexy friend who worked in a lab. She happened to mention that her friend was testing hormones and pheromones and that this really intelligent girl believed they "were the wave of the future". Since she was an ace SAT top student, I assumed the research and statements must be credible. It fell to the back of my mind, categorized as "look into" in the future.
Flash forward to 2001. I'm single hanging out with this buddy at a strip club. This stripper has this amazing effect on us. We sort of can't figure out why. Most of the time they have this cheap ass perfume that I hate. But this one gal, I don't was my shirt. It smelled that good. I wonder... what the hell is that scent. It is like a drug.
So around 2002, I start dating a former stripper by coincidence. At one point she tells me how she either puts or buys these pheromone scented drier sheets. I think it is bogus and they kind of stink. Doesn't seem to do anything for me, but I do wonder if that other stripper had something on that was similar.
Later in the relationship, I realize that sometimes I am just totally into her and other times not. Looking back, I wonder if it was scent related.
So anyhow, I am still not convinced about pheromones. But here is the crazy thing. I end up in this situation where I am dating 3 girls at the same time. I end up scoring in the morning.
Later in the afternoon, I have another one over. I'm embarrassed because I didn't wash. We were torrid.
Crazy thing is this 2nd girl gets super horny. She is all over me and smelling hard in the unclean area and just going to town. So we end up going at.
Still no time to wash, I see the 3rd girl and she wants to go at it too.... It is like something I was putting off was putting them all in a rut.
It then dawned on me - it was like a weird memory, maybe there is such a thing as pheromone and you can capture it?
2003
So I search the internet come across Stone Labs and something called Passion. I buy it. I try it and I have some of the kinkiest, raunchy times. But then it stops working? My girl says it stinks (it does). I figure it must be some coincidence or the bottle spoiled....
For whatever reason, I don't give up because the sessions when they were on, were that memorable. I find A314. I believe the year was 2003. They have a black-capped bottle and I also buy a "mutant" white capped small bottle - I seemed to remember these bottles being half the size of the bottles they sell now.
I figured it was hyped and probably bogus. But NO. Suddenly I was like James Bond. Not as kinky as pure passion, but not rough either. And the results worked at least 3 weeks out of the female cycle. At work I was more respected as well.
When I combined it with this gel pack called PheroGel for men, I had these freakish bonding scenarios. Mind you, here are two examples and these were totally unconscious as the A314 was left on me from time with my main squeeze and the gel was scent so I was simply using it to cover the stink of the excessive A314:
I'm at work. Three of the women in the office are huddled around my cube. I can't remember why, but it is like they are high, laughing joking and flirting. One is already having an affair with the head of our branch (the big alpha male). Literally before my shocked eyes, this girl is touching herself unconsciously while she talks and this is in a group setting. She catches my shocked eyes staring nearly eye level (I was sitting down, she standing) and stops. The 2nd gal ends up having a crush, sending me pics, etc. This back in 2005! I didn't realize you could repeat this effect at that time.
In 2007/2008, I buy a new house, and I am selling stuff just to clean out the old house. The women are going crazy buying stuff left and right. This eastern european model in front of her husband wants my number. Wants us all to hook up. Calls me for months afterwards. Still every now and then I get an email from her. It was crazy. At the time I didn't realize this was the "crush effect"
2008 I'm doing Christmas shopping at walmart, again, no time to shower. But it is winter in MN. I've got a pea coat on and sweater. This 40 something women brushes past, turns around, stares at me. Asks me who I am shopping for, forces a conversation and then says "I'd like to give you my number. I don't normally do this." She is frickin' married! I see the ring. I look her up on the internet. Crazy.
And then it all goes dark for a few years. I've been burning thru the A314, the price has gone up (no more small bottles). I spill my bottle. I order up a new batch. This is 2008.
Curtain falls: I put it on faithfully with my main squeeze. She says "what is that stink? - you smell like an old man!!!" I"m whoa. Maybe wrong time in cycle??
Try again a few weeks later: "why do you put that stinky cologne on? do you think it turns me on?"
Sheesh, I figure her chemistry changed. No idea the formula was different. I only discover this because I have a little of the original bottle left and it works like a charm.
At that point, I don't have my magic. I start to look for a new job because I started to get treated like a beta work, and I use this gel called Charisma. I don't realize it but it is a beta product and while the interviews are super talkative warm, I don't get hired. This happens twice.
It dawns on my naturally that maybe this gel cologne is too strong, I need to temper it with A314 (literally the last two drops of pre 2008). So I wear that to an interview in 2013. I frigging nail it!
Maybe I was just good. But it is weird, it is like the folks who interviewed me are acting like that eastern european girl from 2008.
From all this I conclude totally definitely that pheromones are real. They work and they go beyond just getting laid. That is when I get back to reading the forums and testing and that is where I am at today.
I don't care what anyone says, they are real and effective. My only concern now, is the unknowns around the hormones themselves? What are the long-term effects on myself, others, folks around me.... are they truly safe long term.... I am concerned with this only because I have seen first hand how they work.
Since 2013, I've used them to break the ice, appear more competent, improve group dynamics, accelerate romance, chat up.... and even if this was a placebo effect, the price would be worth it when I look at the reviews I've had and the great times.
So I am pushing in new directions, hoping that this playing field advantage doesn't become widespread, but it seems inevitable.
