Hi! I’m new. I’m just really curious about [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/). Scientifically, socially, etc. ---

Hi all, I’m a sexy, confident female in my mid-20s. I’m a graduate student in San Diego, CA, and incidentally, I ran into this website when I was doing a little bit of web research on steroids (specifically androstadienone). At first I was confused about how I ran into this forum, but now my curiosity has been piqued and I want to learn more. Although my studies focus more on neuromodulators (such as oxytocin), I’m incredibly inquisitive when it comes to any kind of science…and this seems right up my alley! I’ve been reading a lot of the posts and journals, and it looks like pheromones have a lot to offer… I’m ready to begin my research! ---

Hi there Curiousmind. Welcome to pherotalk 🙂 Oh boy you are right, your just gonna love pheromones its right up your alley. You will learn a lot about how mones effect the actual user and I am sure with your background you can help us learn quite a bit as well. Oxytocin is not one used much at least not here. Its to hard to work with and although it has pheromonal characteristics it doesn’t work well as a commercial pheromone as least not yet. A1 is something many members use though. So I am assuming you want to try some out for yourself right ? I think Ishine IH and IO are good starters. The [Instant Sexiness](https://phera.com/product/instant-sexiness/) products are out right now but you may want to check those out when they restock them. They have small to-go sizes that are inexpensive to try things out. They have about 40 sprays in them so you can explore a few different ones if you like. I hope to see you in the forum and if you have any questions just ask. Have fun Tisha ---

Hello Curious and welcome to the forum. I am glad Tisha dropped in and said hello - that gives you and instant female contact and one of the best at that. The product recommendations she gave you are right on - [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/) is one of my favorites. Like Tisha said - if you have any questions please ask - everyone here is happy to help. ---

I would have ideally gone with Instant Sexiness, but as the product is out, I went with IO. I am looking forward to using it…in the meantime I have been exploring the forums and trying to get acquainted with some of the basic research and terminology. I read one of Tisha’s threads about knowing whether or not you get hits. One of the things it suggested was to observe people’s behaviors prior to [pheromone](https://pheromonelabs.com/) use, and as I do not yet have IO, I have just been carefully observing and taking mental notes of the people I encounter daily. I’m having fun doing so, and I can only imagine what I’ll see with IO…
