From what I understand IH increases the seriousness and deepness of the conversation. It allows hidden private things of the other person to come out much more easily..as if they had a few beers or something. I believe it can be a usefull tool in building up comfort levels and a deep history with new relationships. It would also be good to use around someone who seems to have something they are holding back.

While #1 complaint about bare androstenol is probably “neurotic chatter” about “nothing”, I also see that it perhaps makes people too spacey and giggly for some needs.

[Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) still works like that (it’s great for people who start up convos), but communication is more meaningful, that’s all. A little less craziness, and more exchange.
