Hello, I am 20 year old male student at a University in California and am very interested in cognitive science and how the brain works. I plan to research new pharmaceuticals’ affects on the brain and cognitive function. [Pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) really interest me and I am here to learn about experiences that others have had and to test and give some results with what I use. I tend to be very skeptical, and when I see so many high praising reports like on this site I tend to be skeptical. So my introductory question would be are there any cited studies that have tested Androstenone etc affects with many participants? ---

Hello Mones! It would take me time to find something in full-text. Most online resources are not, without going to a university library database. I can give you an informative link, however. One moment please… > [@Evolutionary psychology: -Rone men and -None Men](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/evolutionary-psychology-rone-men-and-none-men/19): > > In case anybody here doesn’t know, Evolutionary Psychology PERFECTLY, and I mean PERFECTLY… outlines the rone and none relationship. They just don’t use rone and none by name. I doubt most evolutionary psychologists have ever heard of these two [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/), despite the fact that I made the connection almost immediately… “that’s a rone man they’re talking about!” and “that’s a none man they’re talking about!”.

Welcome monesman! Ahhh California, I studied at UCB for a semester, good times 🙂 It’s good to be skeptical! Most of us were when we started our experiments I guess. As far as I know, the only [pheromone](https://a314.com/shop/) with published academic studies proving it’s effectiveness, is A1. Attractive to women, makes them feel more comfortable during menstruation, and in high doses has a depressing effect on males. eNone, eRone, alpha-androstenol, beta-androstenol - I don’t know any academic studies about these - bet someone like monesmadedoit does. What I DO know from experience is that they all do something. eNone - best way to describe this one is ‘phallic aggressive’. Arouses women or makes them pissed (depending on their cycle), pisses off alpha males in high doses and makes them aggressive. eRone - masculine, signals ‘high status’, ‘respect this guy’. Alpha androstenol - makes people chatty - good for small talk Beta androstenol - makes people talk about the more serious topics in life Putatives also all do something - but are still in experimental phase. What do you hope to get from mones personally? Attraction? Smooths social interactions? A status boost in class? ---

thank you all so much I appreciate your replies, I am now reading some of those research studies . I think what I’m going to do next to look up the chemical structure and since I have access to the university libraries I’m going to do some looking around over there.. ---

Androstenone: **16, (5α)-ANDROSTEN-3-ONE** Since you have access to your university library, here are a few studies I think are an entertaining read, and should ramp you up fairly quickly to [human pheromone](https://pheromonelabs.com/) theory: Male Sexual Orientation Affects Sensitivity to Androstenone, Katrin, L?bke; Sylvia, Schablitzky; Bettina, Pause Chemosensory Perception , Volume 2 (3) ? Sep 1, 2009 Pleasantness of the Odor of Androstenone as a Function of Sexual Intercourse Experience in Women and Men Antti, Knaapila; Hely, Tuorila; Eero, Vuoksimaa; Kaisu, Keskitalo-Vuokko; Richard, Rose; … +] Archives of Sexual Behavior , Volume 41 (6) ? Dec 1, 2012 I’m not sure how any participants you’d constitute as ‘many’, but the second one has N=397, and the first has N=87. Sure, that’s not a high number, but I’ve seen some pharma studies based on N=12. Would love to hear more of your findings, fella! We’ve been vastly interested in the cognitive effects of olfaction since our inception. Do you have access to FMRI? ---
