2014 is only 5 years away, so I don’t think you can expect miracles or huge changes in that short space of time… Research doesn’t work that way, it’s a slow process of testing, re-testing results and challenging hypotheses …
Phero research is hot right now but it’s not a new topic…it’s been around for quite a while
There are already products that work, the findings on this forum validate that. The problem is that if you mention pheromones, people think they are about sex and can’t see past that. Also there are plenty of less than honest companies who sell snake oil without any moral integrity or shred of human decency. Hell, one guy who purports to sell sexy pheromones has recently spent time in prison for selling hallucinogenic substances on the same website!
In my professional area, honesty and integrity are central to my standing. I am proud to be associated with androtics and this forum.
The Future of Pheromones is bright. I believe you will see more acceptance as well as Research over the next 5 years as mones slowly work there way into the mainstream.
The nature channel has had many documentaries on mones lately
Its been seen in various movies which focuses light on the science even though they exaggerated a lot in Oceans 13
Retail stores like Victoria secrets and Sephora have carried them. Not as strong as you would find here but the technology is growing.
Patents are held for a few molecules currently
Companies like Johnson and Johnson have moved into aromatherapy (Baby lavender soothing line) products and have expressed interest in mones.
With in the next 5 years you will see AMMO on retail shelves.
And Pherin Pharmaceuticals is pushing ahead with Veronasal therapy with vomeropherins

Company Overview
I think we will hear a lot more about mones and mone technology in the next 5 years and beyond. It will take a while before its main stream but its heading that way.
Before panic sets in remember you have a great opportunity here being part of androtics testing. At some point the plan is this forum will break off into a research only forum and we will have the opportunity to use cutting edge mones that the general public will not see for years to come. So you still will have a edge on the competition.
This post by Steve and Jasmin touch more on it. Its long but a good read.
