A look back at SwingerMD’s early posts on the putatives (he was really a pioneer back in those days!) shows that he thought of P74 as eliciting a light ‘boyfriend’ effect. It added extra connection/empathy for him - see the following…

“…Yes, p74 does seem to elicit a light “boyfriend” effect. I also have notice that both sexes really open up, very candid, and volunteer information on how they are feeling and what is on their mind. Sorta like what I hear about the effects of Instant Honesty (just got it but haven’t used it yet). The latter effects were from friends/acquaintances. It kinda bumped them up a notch toward close friends…”

“…Couple that with the very strong boyfriendish connection/empathy that p74 seems evoke…”
