(finally managed to post, with no thanks from aol, but big thanks from steve!) Hello - new to forum - from Scotland, UK. I’m late 30’s, run my own business,and on the whole am very happy in my life I’ve always been interested in [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) since I was involved in a VERY interesting study at university back in 1989 which pretty much convinced me of the amazing abilities of these chemicals, noses and brains to interact beyond our consciousness! Anyway part of this study involved a concoction we referred to as an Enhanced Status Emulator, a bottle of which I kept hold of after uni, and used it at business meetings, interviews etc. It ran out in the mid 90’s and I just forgot about it. Fast forward to 2000 and I was in a car crash which left me with a brain injury which led to a stroke. This left me with no mathematical ability, a terrible stutter, and I had zero recall for short term memories and I would mistakenly use incorrect words in sentences without being aware. I would forget where I was when out and about in a city I’d known for 20 years and apparently my personality changed overnight (my poor wife had to cope with this - I was oblivious). Gradually my abilities returned as my brain learnt new pathways and I am now pretty much back to full strength - and apparently I’m back to my old outgoing personality. Except when I’m very tired or stressed, in which case many of the post-crash effects come about, which brings me to this forum… I decided to look for a similar pheromone complex to our ESE theorizing that when I’m in stressful situations such as daunting business meetings, having a chemical “status back-up” would help me remain calm and retain self belief which would help the meeting, lessening my stress and stopping the vicious circle that is my stress related relapse. I reckoned that your’ A314 seems a likely candidate to replace our ESE so have bought some to see. I’ll let you know how I get on and if anyone’s interested I can go into detail on our 80’s experiments! All the best Al ---

Wow! You actually studied pheromones in college? That’s awesome! A good “relaxant” [pheromone product](https://a314.com/shop/) would be instant shine…or maybe even Spaceland. I’ve read several peoples comments saying Spaceland is almost like using marijuana! ---

Hi Al, welcome to the forum! Wow! That’s a seriously difficult experience to have to face. Kudos to you and your wife for working through this situation. Besides the A314, I’m wondering how [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) would be for you in this situation. I know that Shine can sometimes give one headaches, but you might wish to consider this option. Read through the sticky threads in the Men’s section for suggestions on usage, my best wishes for you on this journey. Enjoy your stay here… ---

Welcome Al! Very interesting…so what exactly were you testing? Pheromones? Which ones? Bummer about the accident but glad to hear that you’re back on the right track once again! I get great self effects from [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/)…it’s a real mood lifter for me. When wearing it, I feel confident, upbeat, and like I can handle just about anything…all with a good attitude! I don’t have any experience myself with the A314 but have read that it gives an aura of respectibility and confidence. I know that it will affect those around you, but I’m not sure if the self-effects would be able to over-power the trauma that still plagues you. Hopefully one of the more experienced users can give some insight to that. Would love to hear more about those experiments. ~~River ---

Al, hi and welcome to the forum. I’m glad you have things back together again after your car crash. “Enhanced Status Emulator” sounds like a good description of something like A314. A314 is mainly androsterone, with a complex and proprietary mix of other pheromones in there that includes a little androstenone and many other pheros. Maybe these chemicals’ names will be familiar to you from 20 years ago. Some of the products like Instant Shine and [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) can burn a lot of “mental energy” for want of a better term, and leave the new user feeling tired after the effects are up a few hours later. I mention this because you may or may not react well to the cycle of high/fatigue that comes with such products at first (users do get used to these products though, and the cycle disappears). Yeah, details of experiments please! That’d be great stuff. Oh as regards the self effects of A314. I have found them to be pretty good, in a steady way, not in a “ramp” way like the spray pheros. And more reward comes from seeing others follow your lead, it is confidence through positive feedback. ---

Me me pick me I want to hear all about this “Enhanced Status Emulator” you made in the 80’s. 😛 Welcome to Pherotalk. 🙂 I am sorry to hear you had a accident but I am glad your back to your old self and rekindling your interest in pheromones. A314 sounds perfect for you. I would hold off on using [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) though. Ishine can overload the neurotransmitters in the brain and I feel this may set you back or stress your system enough to induce post crash effects. If you find you like A314 and you want to try other pheromones they have some great advanced products and some of them may be helpful in avoiding those post crash effects as well as effecting those around you. You will find pheromone research has advanced a bit since the eighties and we have pheromones for all sorts of effects. Be sure to report because if you do you can become a “reporting user” and get big discounts on the advanced products. We are excited to have you join us and look forward to talking with you in the forum. **Your GC is on its way 😉** Tisha ---

Thanks for the advice folks! Yes, I was hoping that the A314 would affect peoples interpretation of me positively which would in turn increase my confidence in these situations, which would stop the negative effects of my injury, further increasing confidence - a kind of “fake it till you make it” pheromone! Back to the pheromones we used in 1989 - I’m no chemist (as I’ll explain) but androsteadynone (?) sounds like one of them - I know that one was made from pigs - yes pigs pee or sweat or something equally revolting - the others were big double named things. I was in the faculty of science (engineering) and one of my good friends was an undergraduate chemist - he was a kind of insane party-goer, very charismatic and a real entrepreneur. One of his friends was a doctorate biochemist, who was involved in [pheromone research](https://pheromonelabs.com/) - they were trying to find out where in the brain sex-type pheromones fired impulses and were concentrating on the primitive brain stem. The problem was it was difficult to measure scientifically that anything at all was happening even though things were definitely happening. My friend got involved in the research, helping out in the lab and it wasn’t long before he’d convinced the biochemist that it could be a good money maker for them if they could “invent” the perfect scent that could be used to make women want to have sex with men. They began to run an unofficial research stream alongside the official research, using the university facilities for their own nefarious means and began looking for the sex mix and the ESE mix I talked about with the theory being with a combination of them could render no fine lady off limits! Round about this time, I got brought on board as I was an entertainments rep with the students union and was to get them into student union clubs (kind of a group of subsidised bar, discos for drunken students to spend their grants) to test out their mixtures. I got them a group of 10 average guys - my tag line being get paid to get laid, not being hard to refuse! With them having no contact with my friends in the lab, I was the go between and “ran” the team of human lab rats. We ran up some forms on the computer and the guys filled these in with how they felt they interacted with opposite sex and assorted personal questions, I would hand them their £10 fee (could buy a nights worth of drinks) and they went out to try and meet girls. This was the control. Next week, I reviewed their success rates when we met and this time explained a bit more about the experiment. I told them that we had synthesised a special oil that would attract women to them and make sexual conquests easier. I measured out 2 drops and this was placed behind their pre-cleaned ears and gave them their cash and sent them out. This week we just used a carrier oil with no additives as a placebo. They came back with their results and were convinced that the oil had worked - they filled in their percentage improvements and we used this as a base line for the power of suggestion. Any future results above this should be due to active ingredients. The next several weeks, I’d go down to the lab, get my bottle, cash, hand over and discuss results then head off to meet the team. I’d work them Thursday Friday and Saturday nights, using a single formula each week but alternating which team members received actual pheromones and who received placebo. As the weeks went by, we began to notice definite patterns where certain combinations led to results and others didn’t. One week we had 100% success rate each night for the 5 who were wearing the formula and decided to concentrate on this mix, increasing dosage. We knew we had gone too far when one was beaten up in a fast food joint, 2 were arrested for nothing (male police men, some sort of alpha male thing) and released without charge, one was bitten badly by a dog and one induced a serious girl-fight in the club complete with “glassing”, which wasn’t a pretty sight - all which were indicative of the downside of using pheromones to influence behaviour! We calmed down the concentration of doses and were attaining superb results with results averaging 80% success - although the placebo results were up also by about 10% suggesting that the guys may have simply been getting better at hitting on girls! It must be said that by this time the team were willing to work for free, so something was definitely working! Satisfied with the sex element of the mix, the lab was now working on the ESE cocktail and was using something that alpha wolves give off that other lesser wolves don’t, although I can’t remember what - along with the stinky pig pheromone and other “adjuster” hormones. The guys reluctantly came off the sex mix and went onto the ESE mix - now working in less sexually charged arenas - such as the uni library, lectures, study groups - one even wearing it to bible study! This time results were less dramatic and difficult to gauge but eventually there was near universal agreement that they were now mixing with “better class totty”-these being relatively geeky science types - and were noticing improvements in all aspects of their social interaction. We broke for our second holidays ready for the third term and were planning to try combining the sex mix with the ESE mix - we gave some of the guys mixes to take away on holiday with them, such was their conversion to the power of pheromones! Sadly - at the start of third term, my chemist friend had been thrown out of university - such was his entrepreneurial drive and his skills in chemistry that he had unbeknownst to me, been manufacturing drugs in his student flat!! After much police questioning, Biochemist didn’t want to know and the guys got scared off - I on the other hand had a stash of both mixes and continued to have an extremely enjoyable university experience!!! I will look out my old student notes in the attic, as I’m sure I still have all the paperwork for our weekend prowling activities. Someone should do a similar survey with your’ products - would be fun and from the smell of your A314 mix, you have some similar compounds to those we were using. ---

That is an awesome study! And reps for sharing it… well, wolf juice or pig sweat isn’t actually required in these new [pheromone products](https://a314.com/shop/), they are synthesized out of petroleum or something. Man, I knew some crazy chemists during my days at university, none of them made pheromones but they did make mind-altering substances 😃 Now we have a large Internet forum with a great deal of good knowledge about how to “use” pheromones, how to be congruent and what to look out for, and how to avoid the negative effects of getting into trouble and the like, so there is a good culture and knowledge base for users of commercial pheromone products. So you can imagine, someone willing to put the work in themselves will get great results; I am just a newbie myself, but there is a certain “getting used to” the pheromones and the context, social dynamics and environment in which they are used, that can create like a great synergy between the user and the pheros. ---

Whew great study thank you for sharing it with us. I think you will fit in great here on Pherotalk 😉 > [@](#): > > but androsteadynone This would Androstenone which is found in the male boar but also in human males and small amounts in females. The pheromones here are not derived from animals though. Not sure what the wolve pheromone was, most likely a musk because I dont think they have isolated any unique molecules from the wolve as of yet. > [@](#): > > Someone should do a similar survey with your’ products - would be fun and from the smell of your A314 mix, you have some similar compounds to those we were using. They do, they forum is not the only place testing is conducted its just part of the whole study of each molecule. A314 has a small amount of Androstenone in it. Its 80% Androste **rone** with 16 other pheromones included. We have come a long way baby 😉 Look forward to seeing you in the forum Tisha ---
