Gay men are not well served by the typical male heterosexual [pheromone product](https://a314.com/shop/). As we’ve discussed before, their temperament and their culture are completely different. In heterosexual culture, there’s lots of male bravado at bars and nightclubs. Men are often unfriendly or insulting to other men. There’s often fighting and other shows of male aggression. There’s the “big chimp” syndrome. You could call it a high androstenone culture. I can’t say I have homosexual culture pinned down, but it’s most certainly different. When we first had gay men testing our products, they enjoyed the increased attraction, but complained about them bringing on unwanted aggression. A314 actually worked well as an attractant for most of our testers, perhaps better than it does when used by heterosexuals, but even with A314, there were unwanted negatives in bars and nightclubs. They felt that it brought attributes of heterosexual nightclubs that they perceived as negative. Apparently, there’s not much of the “big chimp” syndrome in the gay culture. It’s all very interesting. For these reasons, Mystery Boy is much lighter… more “fun” and less aggressive. Minimal androstenone, and more elements of products like Instant Shine and the experimental Spaceland mix are used. A good feeling, party atmosphere formula. It’s also a department store quality, professional, attention getting cologne, much like Ammo. That’s very important in the gay culture. Most gay men have very good, and you might say… expensive… taste. All details much be looked after, or they have no interest in a product at all. We even needed to invest more time and money in the label design, otherwise they wouldn’t even consider it. I think we’re probably the first company that can deliver the quality on the outside of the package, as well as the inside, that they’re looking for. It’s a tough market. In a real way, a really wonderful market to work in, since it provides many challenges… and I like a challenge. Most breakthroughs happen in response to good challenge. --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/has-anyone-used-the-gay-pheromone-mystery-boy-for-gay-men/564)._
