I had a class with a new 7 year old girl coming in, she was shy but then she broke into tears and her parents were a bit confused because she was looking forward to it all week. I guess she wanted to work with other kids. I’m not asking any questions I feel like she wanted other kid friends but my god, she was crying and anytime I would talk to her, she would avoid eye contact with me, but I got her to wwarm up to me.
jbtlong, I’ve been studying martial arts for about 15 years now myself. Never tried A314 with martial arts. Curious if you have ever noticed changes in behavior during sparring practice? Did you ever see your partner delay reaction times and become more timid? I’m curious now of pheromone effects during an actual fight.
A314 contains -none (just a little) - we often tell people NOT to wear -none around kids pretty much for this reason.
IS is great with kids though.
I find that unusual. While A314 does have a bit of None, the Rone outweighs it by quite a bit. Personally I’ve found that when I wear A314 reactions based on gender and age are as follows
Grown men, strong respect…males that are physically large, or very successful in terms of status and/or finance give a healthy respect and camaraderie sort of a “he’s one our own” type.
Men that are physically small, or not very successful, tend to react almost as if they were new military recruits and I was a particularly intimidating drill sergeant.
Women, lots of respect. It seems to bring out more submissive behavior. Not especially sexual but can be steered that way through actions or other pheromones to accent it.
Children, LOVE it. I imagine the strength and dominance it conveys creates a sense of safety perhaps. I’ve mentioned before that when I wear A314 around small children they seem to become very playful and enjoy climbing all over me like I’m a human carnival ride.
I have to agree with RAD on this one. I don’t think there is very much none in A314 and I would actually think its probably less than .5 mcg per drop. I know the TUTH product page says don’t use around children but I always thought, and I could be wrong here, that its because its a sexual product. If we are to tell people not to use none based products around children I would say that means, Ammo, IJ, TUTH, IG, A314 any MX, or as it stands 75% of products which pretty much eliminates wearing any product anywhere because in all honesty no one except AD knows whats in them.
So yeah I’m with RAD on this one because A314 gives off this father like vibe that says I’m the protector. On the other hand you have a small shy child exposed to Kiai and strange people. I’m also betting that as instructor you have a pretty intimidating presence to a little 7 year old girl. Personally I would think there are way to many variables involved to lay it on the A314 and would suffice to say she was probably intimidated. You see it at the mall with Santa all the time. He is a jolly good chap who brings gifts and loves kids. He is built up in the child’s mind all year and inevitably when you go to sit on his lap you either cry, or he simply scares the hell out of you. Then you have the kids who just mumble and can’t say a word to old St Nick. He is built up in their minds like a god, whether from external or internal source, and now they are face to face with said god. Just think of how many adults are star-struck around a movie star.
Nah, I don’t think A314 played to big of a role there. That kid would have cried whether you were wearing A314, IG or IJ. You should have Karate chopped her and been done with it. 
I did say a little bit. Not sure why you’d WANT to wear IJ or TUTH or Ammo around kids anyway.
You wouldn’t want to! I was agreeing with you on that, just not on the A314. If we were to stop wearing A314 around children we might as well stop wearing mones anywhere 
. That was my point.
I would be careful with any mones around children, especially ones that are new to you. Last year I drove the 7 hours to see family and wore 2 drops of A314 and 4 sprays IS (1X) 2 hours before I arrived. My niece (8 years at the time) came up to greet me, as well as her freind, that I seldom see. Neices freind got this “look” in her eye, went to sit on the sofa and started rubbing herself with her hand! Holy crap. This could be disaterous in public areas with parents and small children around… beware
That’s a pretty unusual reaction. Kids that age are so prepubescent that getting anything even close to a sexual reaction would make me wonder what’s going on with that kid that we don’t know about.
Most kids that have been exposed to pheromone products have reacted pretty good to socials, decent to IG, great around A314 and nervous or cranky around high none products.
I’ve never gotten anything even remotely akin to sexual arousal or attraction from any prepubescent kids. They don’t know shit about sex or what means what regarding it. This kid sounds like she’s had sexual exposure that’s way beyond what she should know for a kid her age.
Its very hard to believe. That’s not saying I’m calling you out, only that its quite an odd reaction. As Radman mentioned something else could be going on there. I’ve been around kids hundreds of times in restaurants, stores, gatherings and not one of them ever had a sexual reaction. Very odd indeed!
I have been around hundreds of kids too and have never had that reaction. I do remember when I was 5 years old and we visited some friends and I developed a crush on the woman of the home. I kept looking at her and was drawn to her but did’nt know why. Of course nothing sexual but at 5 I was feeling a physical attraction that was different than the one I felt for my mother. Back to this girl… The half hour I spent visiting , she would aproach me slowly and start smelling around me and then become affected again. Hence she correlated her attraction by smell and not the way I looked to her.
As I said: That is just odd! Wonder if something bad is going on in her life 
Your decribing a sexual response in a 8 year old girl.
8 year old girls cant have a sexual response to pheromones. They have not reached puberty yet and there hormones will not react the same way as a girl who has been through puberty will react.
Yes children get crushes on adults but its not a sexual response.
I think you read way to much into this childs response. Its more likely your A314 made her feel intimidated and she had a nervous response. Some kids play with there genitalia when nervous. Its more common with little boys but it happens in girls as well. It has nothing to do with attraction or sexual feelings. Its a response to stress.
