I’m typing this trying to get my thoughts together so hopefully it makes sense. I apologise too if I am repeating what anyone else has said before and hope my own experiences still retain value and interest if that is the case. All the below is supposition based on my own experiences and shouldn’t be taken as fact or what anyone else may experience!
When I got P83 and first started playing with it I was aware of the following thoughts people had about it:
- it was a disinhibitor
- it was an empathogen
- it could strengthen the effects of other pheromones
I’ve used it a few times now and I think it’s biggest self-effect, for me, is that it amplifies whatever mood I am in - ie. it strengthens thoughts and emotions or amplifies them and at an unsubtle spray like 50mcg does it so much I act on them. ie. for me, the disinhibiting effect is that it makes the thought / emotion I already have so strong I am more inclined to act on it.
In some ways this is good but in other ways it is not so good. If I am in a foul and cranky mood P83 makes that a lot worse. e.g. I recently put on 50mcg of P83 and shortly after a sequence of events aggravated me and I just couldn’t shake off that bad mood once I was in it. In a store EVERYTHING seemed to annoy me - the music, the people, nothing was right.
Lesson 1 for me: I’m only using P83 when I’m in a good frame of mind from now on
I think this is why it could be seen to strengthen the effect of other pheromones too - something I have seen in effects on others. If they are feeling physical that’ll be strengthened, if they are feeling like opening up and talking all night then that’ll be strengthened. By the same token, if they are shy and anxious that’ll be amplified too. The emotions all have to be there in the first place though (which I think is obvious, but worth saying anyway).
Lesson 2 for me: be careful who I wear it around. I’ll be very cautious wearing it around anyone who may be nervous unless it is fully buffered with something to help with that too. I think I’ve made this mistake with P83.
As above, these are just my thoughts on what I’ve felt / believe I’ve seen when wearing P83. ![]()
