If you’re THAT suggestible, especially over the computer, then wow!
I didn’t even think to listen for an effect on music. I love music, but usually don’t test at home or use a walkman (or ipod). THAT is great evidence for a significant subjective effect.
To me, the awareness thing is very odd. As much as I hate leading, TAF is just too weird not to talk about a little… (also, I’m going to talk mostly about subjective effects on ME, whereas other people who’ve given me feedback have given me effects on others)
When I go on walks with 50mcg TAF, I notice myself picking up details I’ve never noticed before. I walked down the same street I’ve been on tens of times, maybe over a hundred. I notice little shops and details of shops I never noticed before.
At the same time, I did notice a sort of tunnel vision… it was sort of like “zooming in” mentally.
Maybe it’s functioning at a higher level entirely… being able to simultaneously take in more, yet use that same expanded awareness/attention on anything we decide to focus on.
I, too, find myself lingering with TAF. Everything is just so much more interesting.
I hate, really despite saying this, but it’s almost like getting sort of weird X-Men like ability. ![]()
Again, why nature has a pheromonal molecule like this, is beyond me.
In a practical sense, I think if you stick around someone else long enough for the TAF to affect them, too, then they could very well discover charming facets of you they’d never have discovered before.
Could be a good fall in love (or lust) mone for that aspect (“you are SO fascinating!”). Could also be useful for revitalizing relationships (“I never noticed this about you before… but, wow, it’s like I’m getting to know you for the first time… there’s so much more to discover about you”).
I think it stops premature closure from the reticular activiating system in the brain, and, thus makes you more childlike.
