The way I’m testing my husband’s effects to my mixes is hard, but I feel I want to pin down which mixes he responds best to for their own sake, not just because I like them so much. So, for the mixes I’m testing, I will wear each one every day, and refresh at night for the duration of the test run (usually 1 week).
For the most part I’m taking my own reactions firmly in hand and not sharing that with him. Even when I feel like a cat in heat (as I do today, damnit!) I’m not letting him know. That way, when he responds strongly and differently than normal, as he does to some of the mixes, I know it is the pheromones and not me being sexier than usual.
He knows I’m making up mixes, and testing pheromones, but he doesn’t know which ones I’m wearing that day, social, sexy, or motivational. That way, when I go back to my journals and look at results at least there is a little bit of a blind and I can begin to see patterns of response, and consistent responses. So, during these test runs, I’m not initiating anything, and doing my best to maintain that blind. And let me tell, you, it sucks!
When we have sex, I let all that control go, though… then who cares if it is the pheromones or me responding to them?
