Anybody ever have a blush that possibly resulted from pheromones?
My reading, so far, has demonstrated interactions and circumstances that may encourage blushing - and I’m hoping to find one or more pheromones that may help encourage blushing, too.
If anyone remembers, I would be very interested to know of any pheromone responses that included blushing or flushing.
I know that there is a great deal of variation between people, and cultures, on blushing, and what it means to the person blushing and those around them. If any you have thoughts on how the blushing was viewed by the person blushing or those around, that’s also interesting.
I’m primarily asking for pheromones that might “encourage” blushing, if there are any such pheromones out there.:o
My deepest thanks to all of you who have ever posted before - I’m learning so much from googling the archives.
My experience is that blushing and flushing in some girls is a sign of being a little excited after you have escalated the sexual tension.At other times it indicates plain embarrassment.
Sorry not a clue on what mones could bring on that reaction.I imagine you would have to experiment.
In my experience people usually blush when feeling some sort of discomfort.
I have also read its a sign of immaturity and inexperience because as we get older studies indicate that people tend to not blush as easy as when they were younger.
So far with all the mones I have used none have givin me that effect. I dont tend to blush easy so maybe its different for people who blush alot.
Okay I’m curious. What’s the particular appeal of blushing? Pheromones don’t seem to cause this reaction much.
But if blushing :o really does it for you, you might target natural redheads since they seem to blush more. Maybe take her to a spicy bbq restaurant or get her some hot pad thai.
Ummm. Blushing is a biological and social response, both. I’m curious to see if blushing could perhaps be mediated by pheromones. I think there is some chance of pheromones influencing blushing, but the response might be missed, without someone (like me) looking specifically for this particular response.
Ahhh, and, sure, I’ll bite - do you have any particular natural redhead, or other natural blushing blondes, etc. in mind for me to study for blushes? I’ll be glad to cover the spicy food, for science, as it were.:o
I began this quest by asking the question above. I’ve now followed up by searching the PheromoneTalk Forum for all instances of the root words blush and flush, and tallying the pheromones mentioned in association with blushing.:o Here is the count (as of 01 September 2007):

AMMO, Shine, and A314 really stand out, with P79 and Instant Female Magic not far behind. Some of you will not be surprised to see AMMO and Shine on the list, because that combination (mix of AMMO & Shine) was the most often mentioned in connection with blushing.
So, here are some possible mixes that might help to observe blushing:
Unfortunately, AMMO (1435), Shine (2148), and A314 (1954) are also probably mentioned most often in connection with anything … they are three of the most talked-about products on the forum, the thread counts of each are given in parens above.
Turn Up The Heat is mentioned in 1196 threads, though, so, the one result (so far) that seems notable is that TUTH is mentioned less often in connection with blushing than its overall “topical popularity” would suggest.
Regrets … it’s an interesting idea, just needs some additional analysis.
great work! thanks so much. Can you give a quick lead on how you counted the threads - I thought of your criticism (and suspected it would be correct) but did not know a quick-and-dirty way to test it.
I’m thinking chi-square or one of the non-parametric tests could be used to test for any real effect - but I’m swamped right now, and probably rusty. Maybe later.
If you >Search< using the simple search dialog box, you will immediately get the first page of results. No count (this would be a nice feature, but, alas …)
So, immediately after your search, click >Search< again, but then click >Advanced Search< in the simple Search dialog box.
Now you’ll see a full search page allowing many options, including a list of the most recent searches and how many items were returned … the count of your previous simple search should be at the top of the list. If you asked for the search to return threads, you get the thread count; if you specified posts, you get post count.
I’m familiar with using chi-square to compare two supposedly independent Z-score (standardized, mean=0 stddev=1) variables and test the null hypothesis that “A and B are independent” (i.e., A and B have insignificant/random covariance.) Not sure how to operationalize post counts overall to post counts linked to “blush”/“flush”.
However, I would expect comments on blushing/flushing to have a sampled “interarrival time” (mean=lambda, stddev=lambda) and it should be easy to compare mean arrival time for blush+A314 scaled to the mean arrival time for any mention of A314 … then compare that to mean arrival time for blush+IFM scaled to the mean arrival time for any mention of IFM … the mean arrival time for “blushing” could be indexed, scaled to the mean arrival time for ~any~ post here on pherotalk.
Eh, perhaps there are simpler ways to design the experiment, heh!
