This journal did record my attempts to woo an ex, but the goal has changed and I’ve suprisingly moved on (amazing what success will do,) so now I chronicle my thoughts on mones.

Overall thoughts:
Instant Openness: Time-slowing, chatter inducing, conversation is enjoyable and speedy. People talk over one another, and only notice after a while. Fun for parties. Smells fantastic.
Instant Honesty: This is still sort of a mystery to me. I’ve not had the chance to do much intimate testing, but it has a sobering effect for me. Things are ‘normalized’ by it, and I find its more difficult to err, become inebriated while under the effect of IH .
Instant Gentleman: This needs some more playing with too. So far I find myself charismatic, almost similar to IS, but with more a314 leanings. I feel compassionate, in a father-to-their-child sort of way. Like everyones behavior is the result of their lack of experience, and I want to excuse them for it. Strong contrast to IJ .
Instant Jerk: ‘I am awesome and I don’t give a shit what anyone thinks because I am awesome.’ IJ is potent. It should be, given the high -enone content. I think this stuff smells great though, and can stomach a few sprays in high social proof/leadership settings at clubs or parties with little negative feedback. Others comment that I seem like someone who doesn’t take shit from anyone, and I don’t fear negative outcomes. Makes me live in the moment and take risks. Always fun. I definitely think people shouldn’t drive on it.
TAC: Interesting one. Calm mind. Clear thoughts. Meditative. I feel like there is a slight hum in my brain. Havn’t tested the orgasm factor, but I feel like the touch aspect for me, makes touch more biased to seeming sensual. Little painkilling for me. Speech is less fluent than on IO but still natural and confident. It doesn’t feel the ‘urge’ to flow though. I’m perfectly content remaining silent until I require to speak. Smells clean. Combined with P74 , my pulse is much slower- I average 46-57 beats per minute, using TAC .
A314/a (Rev 1.29a) I love a314 . Some seem to feel it can be too assertive and intimidating, and less James Bond. I love it for the self-effects, and feel more serious and confident in my ability to handle tasks as a leader. I see why this is so useful in corporate settings, and I’ve noticed that gay males love this and IS too. Smell is woodsy, and manly. Will be aqquiring some oil soon, as my togo of /a just ran out. Since many comment that a constantly varying pherosignature can result in seeming ‘mercurial’ or unreliable, I try to use A314 to create a good base and then alter everything else around that.
Turn Up The Heat I don’t like this so much by itself yet- I’d rather use IJ when I’m in a scenario where I can handle the higher -enone dose. Probably needs more testing by itself for me- also the scent is much easier to accept in IJ than TUTH which yields to the boar-urine smell more easily. I’ve noticed that the subjective smell of -enone varies according to my mood. If I’m aroused or used to it, it leans more to a cool, almost ozone like, metallic-ness. The mental image I get from the scent is a very large, cold, metal circular plate, zinc or something weird.*I think that homosexuals are perhaps more sensitive to this- both because it can resemble a lack of cleanliness, and because of the ‘straight male’ intimidating style it carries. Androsterone is much preferred in this sense, (a chemical that homosexual males are noted to possess less of.)
Androstadienone I love this stuff. Theres so little data on how these chemicals act on gay males, and we’re at a particular advantage in their use compared to straight males, who might respond neutrally or negatively. The feeling of A1 is exactly coziness and satisfaction with other potential mates- Like I would be fine dating them, am okay with their looks, even if they aren’t particularly attractive. . It makes me feel a little warm and like I am sitting next to a fire on a couch. It’s also difficult to motivate me away from whatever resting activity I’m doing, and I seem to not want social contacts to leave me. Ladyfriends seem to agree. Haven’t run the PMS gauntlet with it yet. I was thinking about how to use A1 in interesting scenarios, and because some straight men respond with social withdrawn-ness, a gay male hoping to remove the social power of some straight males/lesbian females? and contain power for themselves towards other gay males and straight females might use A1.
Ammo 1.1 1x Like the smell of this. General good cologne, a great balance of social/sexuals. I use this if I don’t have time or have no particular goals or testing wants. Will probably pick it up in 2x soon and gift my 1x to a friend. I get compliments on my ‘cologne’ on ammo often.
Instant Shine Love testing it on the unexposed. I compare IS to seriously being on a small amount of MDMA (ecstasy) 4-6 hour duration and then the crash, which I abhor. I just want to lay around and do nothing. Very useful on gays. I experience color and sound sensitivity on it. For me, the crash is strong enough that I don’t use this in most scenarios.
MX Series
MX412 Was hopeful that it would compare to A1 , and so far I don’t agree that it does. I feel that I don’t want to talk on it- and while I feel confident about my thoughts, I was insecure and concerned about what others thought of me. There is definitely a calmness in other aspects of my life to it though. Needs more testing.
MX297 I don’t like this so far. Insincere, clear thoughts, charismatic, sense enhancing, thirst inducing, good for getting work done, energetic- it does a lot, but the combination makes me suspicious of myself and very self-conscious. --Still fantastic for focus.
Putatives:
P74: It took a while to see the effects of this one, but repeated use reveals a social togetherness- for me, it seemed to clear the awkwardness of an empty dance floor. Removes social judgement from peers and assuages self-consciousness in the favor of group-consciousness.
P75: Masculine, motivating, youthful signature. Don’t fully understand it yet, but gays seem to like it.
P90: Fatherly. Parental compassion and watchfulness. Socially interested, but unique perspective.
