Things that make you go..Hmmmmmm…
Hello, Everyone.
I’ve spent almost a full day sifting through these posts. My name is Jill (Waves), and Im excited to begin my own little research study. A bit about me and what Im hoping for:
34 year old mother of two boys, divorcing, from the midwest. I came upon this forum when looking for medical journal articles on pheromones. I’m a RN, working on my Masters. I have always been involved in womens health care, first working labor and delivery and nursery, and in the more recent years I work with a group of gynecologists. I read some articles about pheromones a few years back and they peaked my interest, but I was quickly distracted from learning more by a chaotic life with young children. In the last three years my area of specialty in my job has expanded to include sexual dysfunction counseling for women. Basically, women come to me for help if they are anorgasmic, have no libido, or have physical barriers that prevent them from enjoying a healthy sex life. A few months ago a patient of mine brought in a bottle of pheromone perfume and asked me what my opinion on it was. We had been working on her libido, and a few other issues, for many many months with pretty good success and improvement. But in the interim her husband had left her, and with a newly peaked libido she was on a mission, lol. She hadnt been “out there” for many years, and was a fairly shy person who had a difficult time approaching others socially, but usually did fine when approached. I told her what I knew about pheromones, at the time, which was that there was not much medical community support for the use of pheromones, due to inadequate research on a potential receptor site, among other things. ( This was one of those times where you recall something from your past that you had an intense interest in finding more about, but had forgotten about, and then all of the sudden, boom! a prime opportunity to jump right in!!) I didnt see the harm in giving it a try and told her so. I asked that she keep a journal of her social interactions for a month before trying it, and then to keep a journal for a month while using it, and then to bring the journals with her to our next visit. In the meantime I attempted to dredge up any new research on receptor sites, etc that may have been discovered since my last pheromone laced encounter. She did and I was a bit shocked with the strength of her positive results, and in fact her significant increase in confidence even in speaking with me was extremely impressive… SOOOO… here I am.. interested in learning more. Neurophysiology is huge area of interest to me, as is womens health and sexual function. I’m considering, after conducting some personal research, expanding and starting a research study with my patients who have similar issues. Im hoping to figure out how I can validate it as a study topic for a project required to finish my degree. Plus.. maybe being newly divorced I will enlist some positive personal benefit from my research as well. Cheers to you all and I look forward to more days reading posts, and soon hope to have some postworthy information myself!
Ciao!
Jill
PS… A question that may seem a bit odd.. Is it a concern for females to wear pheromones if they are going to potentially encounter their teenage sons? I would imagine that the already physiologically confusing time for a teenage boy with out of control hormones might be worsened if he encountered something he wasnt prepared for.. it seems like from what Ive read here, pheromones are nondiscriminatory and should probably be used with caution in such a case. Opinions, views, experience, advice on the topic? Thanks!
In fact, there are many types of pheromone. There are pheromones for attraction, enhance relationship, sexual, feel good, respect and so on.
We can give you some recommendations if you can tell us the kind of result you wish to see. A little bit on the personality will help too.
Who are the targets?
Then we can give you some recommendations on which pheromones to use.
If you’re looking to use yourself as a guinea pig for your own experiments, try Instant Sexiness from the women’s range. Tends to make a woman feel sexy and improve her confidence, as well as attracting attention from men. Turn Up The Heat from the men’s range can trigger sexual desire in women, which may be of some benefit to those of your patients who are in relationships.
I find that an enhancement of confidence is the best thing for a womans libido. Feeling confident allows a woman to relax and enjoy her experiences without self consciousness getting in the way. Sometimes this is the first thing we need to overcome. Many of my patients have psychological issues that directly affect their sexual function. Some have a disorder called vaginismus (I hope this type of information isnt offensive to anyone) which is thought to be predominately psychologically produced by sexual anxiety. It causes spasms of the vaginal vault muscles prohibiting intercourse. The treatment goal is often relaxation and anxiety reduction… these women also tend to be shy in social situations.. but OFTEN would not benefit from overly aggressive male behavior… complex? lol
So. Maybe something that increases a womans confidence, help her to relax, encourage people to approach her without aggression?
I can see where it might be a little off-putting if one’s mom were to be throwing off a heavily sexual vibe. It might not be a bad idea to lay off the heavily sexual pheromones in that case. The trust and respect pheromones should be okay, though.
