But seriously, have you ever tried mushrooms as a colonge? A little Oyster mushroom rubbed behind the ears has a sort of fishy/musky scent. The girls at the mushroom farm seem to like it.
You might of guessed by now I’m a 55 year old guy. I’ve been single again for 8 months. I need to get my groove back. I’ve actually had one date so far, but I’m still pretty nervous about this whole sociosexual thing. (Don’t tell anybody!)
That’s why I was interested in pheromones, but I find it’s alot more than sex. “Bond, James Bond” in a bottle? I can handle some of that!
Layitonme,
OoohYahhh
PS But seriously, has anybody ever made a mushroom cologne? I’m gonna run a search.
Great to have you in Pherotalk And well for your question, well i have never tried mushroom as a cologue, so i can’t say much about it
Ok for your situation, i suggest trying AMMO + Instant Shine + Instant Openness as these three work well in a combo & give the user sexual attraction(AMMO) + Boost of confidence(Instant Shine) & smoother social conversation(Instant Openness)
I leave it to you to decide on my recommendation & see you OoohYahhh
Interesting that Aphrodisiology says: All of the men found the smell disgusting. All the women showed signs of arousal, and six experienced orgasm from the smell.
…sounds a bit like -none (“other men’s” -none, not the endlessly fascinating smell from my own glands, lol)
I have read that thing about truffles before, it is apparently why pigs go crazy digging for them.
OoohYahhh, welcome to the forum, and thanks for the mushroom pointer. I’m gonna do a bit more Googling on this myself.
Whhhhoa! This is gettin’ weird fast! This genus is commonly called stinkhorns so they are known for their strong smell. The photo your link linked to was breathtakingly beautiful. Too bad we don’t have smellovision yet.
What I know so far is that this species (Dictyphora Industiata) is edible. It is sold in China dried. Idon’t know yet if it can be cultivated. The majority of mushrooms in this world cannot be consistently cultivated.
BTW-I found a thread on a perfume disscusion board called Perfume of Life talking about portabellas and “vegatal musk”
OK so this little fungal being is really called Phallus Indusiatus. Sounds aphrodisic doesn’t it? YES! it can be cultivated! Now all I have to do is get some viable spawn from China. That’ll probably take some wranglin’. Then the fun really starts. I hope someone can tell me the cultivation parameters or it will probably take a few generations to get one to full maturity. Months, maybe a year or more for one or two nights of moonlit ecstasy. Is it worth it? To make a woman cum by breathing the aroma of my mushrooms? OooYahhh!!
In the mean time the products phatsounds suggested, instant openness, instant shine and Ammunition would be great choices to become more acquainted with pheromones. Instant openness contains androstenol and is more economical than applying truffle oil.
Ummmm… so how can I get my hands on some Dictyphora Industiata spores!!! I have a nice, dark, cool basement ready for them… If I ever come back upstairs, I’ll let you know if the story is true!
OoohKkkk I got my stock and I’m ready to rock. I’m aiming for the Bond thang but I’m really more like Ohio Jones. Build a little foundation first, I’ll work on gettin’ laid later. (But maybe a little foreplay would be OK)
Y’all should try to find a fresh black truffle somewhere. The aroma is IMPRESSIVE. Thick, rich, full, sweet, musky, … You can almost cut the air with a knife. The flavor by itself is beyond sublime. There is a good reason why truffles are one of the most expensive foods on the planet. Just a few drops will go a long way. Just the thought of a truffle cologne turns me on! Or even better how about a LoveLube? OMG, I have GOT to try this. What would you use for a carrier? It definately needs to be edible. Got any ideas?
Interesting the article you link reads that it contains alpha androstenol. Now, I love my alpha Androstenol (straight, spaceland, instant openness) but I’ve never fallen to rapture wearing it. Giggles yes! I’m afraid I must not lead a virtuous enough life to be rewarded. LOL!
Natural alpha androstenol produced by a mushroom just may be a wonder I will have to experience one day.
I do agree mushrooms have a nice earthy scent that I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a note in many perfumes but most scents are so over done and unnatural it would be hard to detect with out a perfumers nose.
I hope the phero powers that be around here make note of this and keep their eyes and ears open for the mystery compound to be identified…new putative for certain! Cool stuff OooYahhh, you might want to stick a link to those articles in the “Studies” section of the board.
Hope you packed a lunch. You’re going to be in the warm, moist, darkness for a long time before you see the veil open. (metaphoricaly, metaphysicaly, AND physically)
Remember that there are some good guys out there in the darkness and you might even begin to enjoy it.
Well, you’ve got my attention! Boy, ya take a day off…Actually, it’s not so surprising when you take into account the “medicinal” properties of many mushrooms. Some of them are literally hallucinogenic. Spaceland now that’s some a-Androstenol…oink. Orgasmic…why not? Sign me up. Hey Tig, got room for a couple friends? Forget the brown bag…we’ll cater. Should I call the cable guys? Tish, Ink…lol…who’s drivin’?
Hangin’ around here it could be sooner…a lot sooner…lol
Oh! Oh! Oh!..OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…aaaaaaaaah…‘scuse me :o that was delicious! I’ve been eating them all my life …mmmm. When I was a bambina my grandmother, who loved them, would shave them on top of pasta and other things. Of course, I had no idea what I was eating. They came in cans from Italy. Every so often I would go into her pantry and shake the cans so I could hear the little truffle bouncing inside…she’d say, “Bella! Stop shaking the truffle you’ll bruise it!” LOL. Ever since, I eat them where/whenever the opportunity presents itself…and I’ve never stopped shakin’ it.
LOL…Oooh Yahh…you better sit down…
Looks like you’re gonna fit in jus’ fine around here. Welcome to the forum!
OK Having a few technical difficulties. Maybe the signature will show up this time. Just you wait till I learn to drive this thang, then we’ll have some fun.
My mix is Gentleman, Shine2x, Honesty2x. Seems like a pretty good BasicBussiness mix. Over the next month or so I’m going to interview for a new job / Renegotiate my present deal. In the interview I need to seem competent, capable, and reliable. (Nonthreatening to the alpha) In the negotiation I need to seem firm in my position. Nonthreatening (might be too late for that) without being defferential.
I know everybody recomended InstantOpenness but I’m afraid it would have an effect on ME. Whaddaya think? Do I really need to be more open? If I was any more open there would be a breeze blowing thru me. (I will make an exception for truffles. OoohYahhh)
My budget for this week ran out before I got to the Ammo. Probably just as well. Learning to mix and match these three is mild enough for a virgin like me to learn on before I drop in the big game loads.
Not too worried about the pheroeffect on other people. I’m comfortable with trying to manipulate their perceptions. I’m more concerned about the pheroeffect on ME! I’ve never been known as overly inhibited. LOL I know to just apply it to the wrists but how much is absorbed thru the skin? Studies have shown that volitile organic compounds (that’s us) are easily absorbed thru the skin and most easily where the skin is thinnest, inside the wrist and elbows, behind the ears, inside the thighs, behind the knees. Sound familiar?
I’m perfectly happy be slow and easy with the pheromones (except truffles, of course) and try to build on a foundation of intentional verbal and physical communication.
PS Y’all REALLY need to find a fresh truffle somewhere. The aroma is???sublime?
I’ve never smelled the oil. I’ll find the oil somewher this week.
I’m sure the boys will be along to direct you better, but I think that sounds about right as to what you’re looking for. Good luck with the interview.
Get the AMMO next time. You’ll want some when you get the dating ball rolling. Women seem to respond well to it, every guy should have some type of AMMO in his arsenal.
The only way to tell how it will effect you is to try it. Take it for a spin to the grocery store or out for dinner before you wear it around your boss. If you find yourself too out there, maybe not a good idea. Actually Instant Honesty/2x is pretty “open” all by itself and may suit your purpose without adding Openness. Just watch how Honest you are. If you spray it to the back of your head away from your face it will effect you slightly less. Don’t wanna be too honest with the boss, pay attention, this one can sneak up on you. If you haven’t tested them one at a time it’s wise to do so, that way you can fiqure out how best to combine them.
You’re on the right track…follow your nose here…
…then to the stickies at the top of the mens forum if you haven’t already been there.
is a reference to the fungal genus tuber. That’s right, truffles aaagin. I’m a mushroom man, but I’ve never been much interested in truffles until the last few days. Get alittle time, I’m going to post my truffle references over in Parfum.
I’m workin’ up a protocol to experiment with my phermones. Try one at a time, of course. No other scents. Fresh clean skin. Anybody know an unscented soap? With the same set of individuals in roughly the same situation. I’m trying to characterize their attitudes/reaction now as a baseline.
Bella (and all), thanks for your help. The pheromone guide explained alot. Yes, I am congruent, but that article is a good reality check. I’m sure I’ll go back to it.
Gotta fly. It’s gettin’ dark and my mushrooms need me.
anyways, welcome!
