Introducing myself... also reposting question as was suggested.

What’s up everyone,

I posted a question in the male advice section but was told it would proably be best to start off here, so here I go.

I’m a gay male. Age 23 and a graduate student in the Los Angeles area. To be completely honest i’ve only begun researching pheromones and so far it seems like there is a lot of science to back it up. I’m interested in potentially using pheromones to enhance my social life (and all that “social” entails). I hope to learn a lot more from everyone on this message board and hopefully experience for myself the real life applicability of these products.

(I ran in to this sight trying to learn more about certain pheromones… here is the question i posted earlier in a different section of the site.. hope i can get some help)

"Hello,

My friend recently introduced me to the idea of pheromones, says he has had plenty of success with it. He’s given me a bottle of “l’Uomo Amore” by alpha-dream… Anyways he’s instructed me to spray some on in the morning and go about my day to see for myself if this stuff really works…

However, I’m a physical therapy student completing my practicum with the football team at my university . While I believe the campus would be the best place to try the pheromones I am worried about the reaction straight men will have to me. In doing some research i learned that gay men are attracted to the pheromones of other gay men, but women and especially heterosexual males are repelled by it. Being openly gay it has been a challenge to reach an optimum comfort level with some of the athletes. Most have come around to me and are now friendly but I am concerned that some of the ingredients in this product might repel them as well?

these are the list of ingredients.. ( Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Alcohol, Vitamin-E Acetate, androstadienol, androstanone, androstenone , dehydroepiandrosterone sodium sulfate)

can anyone tell me what kind of reactions these ingredients cause in males.. and even females?

And since I am on this subject.. Are there any products that could make it easier for straight men to feel comfortable around me or help me improve my relationship with them? I’m not seeking to seduce them.. just become friendly with them. I really love my job and hope that maybe there are some pheromones that would make the experience more pleasant for everyone?"

One final question… having read some of the posts since joining this forum i learned that the “gay pheromones” might attract more feminine men, since they are most in to the more masculine smells… having been raised an athlete myself, i’ve developed a taste for more of the masculine and macho guys. Is there a different mix of pheromones if i am trying to attract the more masculine gay or bi guys?

sorry for all the questions… still a noob, but excited to see what everyone has to say. Have a good day.. hope to hear from all you soon!

Hi there, Athl23 and a welcome to PheroTalk! :slight_smile:

Friendliness and comfort has IShine written all over it. I think this will work fine for just being at ease with everyone around you and others feeling that your easy to hang out with…

for the ingredients you posted… well, I’m not exactly sure what results you’ll get with that mix :frowning:

Hopefully, some more experienced mone users that may have had results with that mone product can comment on it.

Cheers and thanks for posting!

Hey!

I read the original post. Welcome to Pherotalk!

Your question was slightly answered before. So, I’ll jump to my suggestions from the AD line!

I’m going to suggest Instant Shine and Instant Openness for you. For deeper conversations you can add Instant Honesty.
I had one guy DIHL me at one exhibition some weeks ago, finally had the guts to go ask what’s he looking at. (Against popular belief, I am not gay …)
At that time I was wearing Ammo and Instant Honesty.

I think Ammo can work well with men as well. So, for clubbing, outside your studies, why not try that one as well?
For studying, doing your research, IH, IS and IO are your best bets.
IS to make others feel good and IH or IO to open up to you.
As for the product you told us about, I wouldn’t wear that in your research time. Save it for clubbing! (If you do that!)

Even though you’re not going to seduce those hetero-men, some of them still will have a “all the gays are after me!” stereotypic idea.
I hope that a bit of help from pheromones you can make those guys feel easier!

Anyway, have fun and enjoy life! Be sure to check out the FAQs.

hey,

most pheromones work in different way in different situations, different dosages etc. Out of those ingredients you listed, I’m only familiar with androstenone. At small dosages it can induce some respect and healthy competitivness from other guys. It can be attractive and arousing for women. When too much is applied - and there is a very fine line - it can repel women and even make men aggresive towards you. And that’s just one of the pheromones.
I’m not sure how it works, do gay men’s pheromones really repel straight man? Not too sure about it, I am straight and have gay friends. One of them I met just a couple of months ago at work, I didn’t know he was gay, I just liked him straight away. And then later I got along with his partner even better, especially after finding out what a brilliant pianist he is.
I’m sure you’ll find some info here on the forum, we’ve got a few gay guys active here. For that social comfort, I believe you cannot go wrong with what we call “socials” - unisex pheromone products that just deepen the comfort and rapport, boost moods etc. Those would be Instant Openness, Instant Honesty and Instant Shine. For a more specialized advice, you’ll probably need to dig a bit deeper.

Welcome :slight_smile:

No worries … you´re welcome :wink:

Alright ..

as far as i know

Cyclomethicone is a fixative ..

Dimethicone … have to guess but should work in the same direction

Alcohol makes your drunk .. :smiley:

Vitamine E .. should be good for your skin

Androstadienol … that´s a nice one … you will find some posts here on the board about some members testing it

it´s a light fun molecule .. that is very attractive and opens up people ..

has some sexual qualities … people should react very postive when you wear it

Androstanone … you will find ton´s of posts about it on the board here as well ..

It´s the more nice brother of AndrostEnone …

works similar to none but without the downsides ..

on it´s own it does not do that much but when paired with other molecules it works as an powerful attention grabber ..

that´s the stuff the girls in front of you turn their head around ..

DHEAS ( Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate )

it´s a powerful social mone with fantastic effects on males … does reduce agression and makes you more social accepted ..

hope it helped

thanks guys, this is all very helpful!

Welcome to pherotalk athl23!

There are some of them I can recognize but the others not so much. You can always do a google search but am not sure what your question is.

It’s a good thing we have a pheromone expert on call for tough questions like these to just nudge you in the right direction.

What is pretty simple is that gay men use the same products that straight men do to attract the same sex. So products like Ammo & tuth will work to give of a vibe that you are interested

Products like IG, A314 or even shine to help gain respect and give of a refreshing friendly vibe for your friend.

A314 can come of as a bit harsh so you might want to pair it off with shine

Tell us how it goes we are eager to hear about your experiences.

Your gc was issued! :slight_smile:
