Positive Passive pheromone effect

I eluded to a positive effect to wearing pheromones in another post, namely because I am looking for effect in others, I am obviously paying closer attention to them. This is a positive passive effect, i.e. positive socialization not directly pheromone induced.

I have thought about this some more and I would like to share.

Lets start with the one I have already mentioned.

Paying closer attention to peoples conversations and body language
You will be more in phase with them and you may sympathetically alter what you are saying because you are more aware. People like it when people pay close attention to them (sometimes!)

Wanting to socialize more
Because you want to look for effects, you place yourself in more social situations. Obviously, the social you are the more chance you will in seeing an effect. A minor side personal aspect of this is I now am much more eager to run errands, go grocery shopping etc. Performing more of the mundane ‘running about’ tasks is having a minor but positive on my wife and I’s relationship.

Smiling
IS and CTTM make me smile. The fact you walking into a situation happy and smiling will have an positive effect long before pheromone could. This is a semi-passive effect, i.e self-effect for you and non direct pheromone effect for others. Obviously after the pheromones hit, everyone is happy :slight_smile:

Memories
If a good/happy/sexual/open honest/productive social engagement occurs, people remember that as a positive. Phone calls/emails/ims may occur to recollect the engagement to enforce the memory. In this case, an IM conversation 2 days later is not directly pheromone influenced but is certainly a passive positive effect of pheromone use.
The next engagement is anticipated to be just memorable and enjoyable.

Self preparation
If you are about to enter a situation where you desire a particular outcome, you carefully think about which pheromones will help you achieve that goal. You are also planning coversations, reactions etc. Preparing yourself mentally is always good, it tends to make the situation less stressful for you (and others). You may even spend a little more time on personal grooming/appearance.

The use of cover scents could be considered part of this.

Seeking advice
You are reading and posting on this forum are you not?

Rest of Life
I know that my work productivity and creativity has improved in the last month or so. My relationships and business dealings, while influenced by pheromones are better. This leaves me more time to stop worrying about them and concentrate on my work.

Another effect is I am certainly having fun…

I am sure there are other positive passive effects

silverscreen

I think you’ve definitely got something there Silverscreen. I have found myself thinking more about my social interactions a lot more since finding this place, being more concious of myself and my effect on others (and of course their effect on me.)

I think that using the products here have several knock on effects including making you look at yourself and seeing what else you can do to help the mones help you to make a difference to your life. My time here has, if nothing else, already changed the way I look at the world and long may it continue.

Here is another one…

Partner Empathy
TUTH and other Sexual pheromones should not be used every time you are alone with your partner. It forces you to think “What kind of day has she had, is she tired, what week is it, should I pick up dinner or run an errand before going home, should I spice it up a little with TUTH”.
So, I for one, will not be wearing Ammo, or TUTH tonight, I would wear IFM if it were in stock!

I thought i this type of effect when monitoring others when using mones, however what should also take into account is the negative.

As a suffer of social phobia/anxiety even before using mones i was very aware of others body language and paid great attention to my interactions with others. The problem with SAD is that you interpret these negatively, example a smile or playful laugh becomes ‘they are laughing at me because i am stupid or made a fool of myself’.

So for me i am using the same level, in fact sometimes lower, of observation than pre-mones but have but so far have had more positive then negative feelings.

So, using pheromones has the effort of skewing the postive/negative vibes more into the positive side.
Would you say that is an active effect of IS or a passive side effect?
I think it is probably a bit of both.

I would say that it primarily to do with mones, why because the negative effect of SAD are very powerful and wholly irrational. You know what you thinking is wrong but you still feel the negative.

I found that CBT helped as it helps to retrain the thought process, what i have found so far in limited use of mones is that they help move these SAD thoughts out of conciousness and even to the point where i was not even thinking about SAD thoughts at all.

All very helpful so far.

Yes, CBT is awesome. A watered down version or step-in model can be found in the form of The Work, by Byron Katie. (Yes, it has scientific validity don’t have the post at hand!) But I recommend it everyone!
