Hello there, my name is Jacob. I’m a 20 year-old college student from Wisconsin. I got into [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) by being extremely curious about their dynamics as a result of the effect of ovulating women on people. Then, it came to me that I might try searching for pheromones online – there must be others, and though at first I only thought they were sexual. But at least it would be something cool to learn and something to make my sex life even better. Since then, I’ve ordered IS, a sample sized bottle of A314 spray (1.29A), a full bottle of A314 (this stuff works, and will probably help you no matter where you are), and that came with a to-go sample of MX448, which I have yet to try. I am quite excited for that, though. As for why I’m on the forums, the gift certificate had a lot to do with me actually starting here, but more so, I’d like to help advance this wonderful technology in any way that I can, which mainly seems to be buying products within my means and testing them. I think that they are a bit like the nootropics – at least for me – in that they seem to improve my life without any non-monetary downsides to myself or those around me, and I think any technology like that is worth looking into. I’ve read a lot about pheromones and such and there’s really no shortage of material like that already on the forum, so my only real question is: How would I go about becoming a “reporting user”? I understand that this status makes getting the test pheromones a lot cheaper, and at the moment I’ve not got the pocketbook to match my desires for knowledge and novelty, haha. I can’t seem to find anything about this on the forum, though I have been known to miss things right in front of me, and while it sounds like it might take some time or whatnot to achieve that status, it’s my main reason for being here (that, and reporting on this bottle of MX448 when I get a chance to test it!), so I thought it’d be a good idea to ask! Looking forward to exploring! ---

Hey There and welcome! To become a reporting user you have to just get mones, test them, and share your results. It helps to give all the information possible ie. how much you use, where you apply it, temperature outside, humid or dry, self effects, effects on others, etc. You can go to journals and reports from other users to get an idea of what info is best to share 🙂 So yeah just dive right in, test, and report on your findings! let us know how things go! ---

What empath said 🙂 Also, this might be obvious, but the more commercial the product (ie a314, and the “Instant” line) the less useful your report is likely to be. I’m not saying that it _won’t_ be useful, only that it will be _less_ useful than testing, say, the putatives or MXs. Those lines are generally still in the experimental stage, whereas the commercial line is, well, commercial - they’ve already found the mixture and ratio of mones that work, so it isn’t as necessary or helpful to test them. Obviously you’re still welcome to post reports on your experiences with A314, IS, etc, but the main thing is to try new products that don’t have the long history that the “flagship products” like A314 has. Welcome to the forums, I look forward to reading any journal or experience reports you post 🙂 ---

I’m not saying that it _won’t_ be useful, only that it will be _less_ useful than testing, say, the putatives or MXs. Saying that, the commercial products are ideal for learning about pheros, building-up skill and experience in reporting, which does count for something. ---
