My name is Soo. Im a female in my 40s who got introduced to this site by a relative. Ive always been into psychology and had read about animal pheromones and the like, but did not know that there are actually human ones out there! Im located on the West coast.
I have a good circle of friends, am married, and am pretty outgoing. I just want to try these scents out for myself to see what effects they have on me and others. Sort of like a scientific experiment! Looking through the store, the social pheromones seem to interest me a lot. I dont really understand all the putatives though and what they do. Im also a little confused about the difference between instant shine, openness, and honesty?
Thats cool that a relative introduced you.Did they have good results from the products they tried?Thats cool that your into psychology,i have quite a few friends doing it as a degree and its a pretty interesting subject.Sounds like you already have a pretty good social life and are happy so it will be an interesting experiment when you test them out.The social pheromones are definitely interesting to play with.The putatives are more for people to test and tell androtics what they do since the effects arent completely confirmed yet.The experimones are the more consistent ones and are whats included in most of the consumer line.
Hmm,instant shine gives a mood uplifting effect.I dont personally get the self effects but ive seen its effect on others although it can be subtle at times.Instant openness increases the quantity of conversation and can make people more chatty around you.A good one to see noticeable effects with.Instant honesty makes conversations deeper and people more comfortable talking about things they wouldn’t normally.At very high dosages,people can sometimes blurt out things they dont meant to. At a reasonable dosage though,it promotes comfort and bonding.All the best and dont hesitate to ask if you want to know anything.Im sure youll have fun testing and being here since everyone is helpful and nice(^_^)
I think it is pretty cool that a relative aimed you here. Are they or were they an active member on the boards? Hopefully one of the ladies will be by soon to say hello and hoepfully give you a female perspective on all of this.
I will start with the easy stuff first, the social products:
IO is great for helping along those chatty, gabby conversations. It can get so gabby sometimes I do not use this one a whole lot.
IH helps generate feelings of connection and often lead to deeper discussions. It is one of my favorite products here.
IShine helps people around you feel happy to be near you.
As far as what the putatives do - some we know and some we do not. You almost need to do a search on the ones that sound interesting. There used to be a pretty decent spreadsheet on some of this stuff although it may be pated a little by now. i will try to find it.
