Howdy, My name’s Benni and I’m 20 years old. Montreal is currently where I live on a day to day basis, and although it’s not my native city I like to call it home. I’m currently studying Literature and trying to find that pefect combination of words that will be the secret to everything . I guess my lifelong quest is to find the branches that bring us all back to that one trunk. If that sounds like the cheesiest thing you’ve ever heard I apologize, but it’s the best image I can up with at the moment. The science of smells has always interested me, since our sense of smell is the most potent one. Despite this I’ve always brushed off the possibility of there being such a thing as the creation of smells, although it’s one of my greatest dreams to me. Unbeknownst to me, the word pheromones popped up one day, as randomly as random gets. When I typed the word on google, this forum was the first result, and filled with skepticism, a bit scared and perhaps a tad bit excited, I clicked on it. Six hours later, I had to close the computer and focus a bit. Here was not only product suggestions but real people who actually tried out this stuff. Over the years I’ve been a member of numbers of forums, but pherotalk was actually mind-blowing. Now I’ve been lurking on the threads, stealing every bit of information everyone has had the guts and good sense of sharing here, and I’ve felt that maybe even I could be part of this epic project. The perfect combination of words might not truly be created, but now I get a weird feeling that the perfect smell can be, and so I think I’m going to buy as much products as I can, and try’em solo and mixed until I get to that magic spot. The Ammo looks pretty interesting and the [Instant Jerk](https://a314.com/product/instant-jerk/) looks pretty funny, so I’ll definitely be getting those as soon as they get re-stocked. I have no precise goal except social experimentation, which is way too broad, but as soon as I find one, I know where to come for help ;p Now, I do have a question, and perhaps people will think I’m retarded, but it’s an ethical one and it goes like this: Won’t you become hooked on the pheromones? I picture pheromones like sweet-smelling training wheels, and pretty big ones for that matter,if they truly work as well as many members have claimed. In other words, will it still be _you_ _truly_ attracting people, or getting respect or success if it’s actually the pheromones that are doing the job? Isn’t it kinda like cheating? I apologise right now if it sounds childish, but it’s the best I’ve got. Oh and if it didn’t come through after the five novels, I’m really, like really really excited to be a part of this forum.Thank you to everyone for making it so great. ---

Hey Benni, welcome to the party! You’ve definitely come to the right place for information and advice on [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/). As to your questions: Hooked on pheromones: There is the risk that once you stop using (sounds like drugs 😛) you will not be accustomed to the lack of attention. I haven’t seen any withdrawal stories on here, but my assumption is that over time, your personality will mold to what you make of it. Easier going, more extroverted, etc. And this will prepare you for “going it alone”. I know that there are probably some folks on here who have spend thousands of dollars on this stuff, I know I have spent a few hundred so far, but once you settle down with that girl you gained, you certainly wouldn’t be hitting the bars every night using lots of product (at least I hope so :o). Ethical concerns: I have bounced this around in my head many times before I even joined the forums because you ARE affecting others unwillingly. The key to remember here is that you are NOT removing free will. If somebody doesn’t want to do something, pheromones will not force them to against their will. The other thing to remember is that some people are naturally blessed with good pheromone combinations, so they certainly have no concerns. I guess I have boiled it down to wearing a different set of clothes. Every sense will affect how someone perceives you, if you happen to have an edge that others don’t, who’s to complain? Sure it’s a cheat code for life, but it’s more like +10 Charisma, not infinite lives 😛. Also, with a little information about yourself, you can get a $25 gift card. What is your personality like? What do you hope to gain from pheros? Who do you plan to target?

Welcome to pherotalk ! Benni ! Thanks for the introduction, always good to see a lengthy one ! Looks like youre on the right track by reading reading and more reading. Thats how you gather all the knowledge that this forum is packed with. You can also use the search function at the top of the page to pull up years of information, or if you cant find an answer then post it in the mens section. Everyone here is very eager to help and family like. If you share a bit more about yourself and what you want to achieve by following that link above to fulfill the requirements well better be able to give some recommendations. But if you want to order one while youre waiting for the others to be restocked then i suggest you try out instant shine since i love its self effects. NOT everyone gets these prescribed self effects, which im sad for those that dont, but its my favorite product and makes you have a slight confidence boost, you become more social and happy and the others around you become happier too ! ---

Thank you guys and gals for actually taking the time to read this. My worries have been eased and I have ordered some [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/), to get some practice before the other big boys get re-stocked. Will definitely be keeping you up to date with progress/questions/anecdotes/annoying chatter. Much Love!
