I concur with Gegogi on a number of things:
No I have not told anyone and probably never will. But then again if Johnston & Johnston come out with an Androstadienone-based product for PMS, then I think phermone use will become a topic of discussion. Might become a topic for a witch hunt in certain circles.
I too have personally gotten the impression that phermones have a less pronounced effect on those who are closest to us and have been so for a while. Too much mental/physical/emotional history for phermones alone to overpower.
I think a true, mature Alpha male is a combination of Gegogi and Sigma’s description. And while they may use that influence to get sex even on a routine basis, I do not think in humans it is the primary motivator.
And Gegogi - I am proud of you bringing up morals and principles too.
