Okay, I’ll step up. I’m not a huge druggie by any means, but I do have occassional affairs with xtc. The first thing I’m gonna say is that if you’re not on xtc but most of the people are, I’d find that kind of annoying. Perhaps it’s the temptation to want to get onto their level, since you don’t do drugs, I guess it’s kind of a moot point. Either way, if you’re accustomed to it, then no big deal I guess.
I’ll say this, don’t expect to have a regular conversation. Usually when I end up meeting a girl at a rave and fooling around with her, it’s never through a regular conversation. It doesn’t go, hey what’s your name, yadda yadda…it goes hey…and the rest is all body conversation. It’s like communication through the drugs, I feel her unconciously and so does she.
So even being around the scene I have NO idea how pheromones would effect my mind. I’m pretty sure that I’m unable to process the subtle changes that I’m usually able to process sober, even just blazed or drunk. On xtc, your mind is just moving so quick, I really don’t know how to approach it if you aren’t on the same level.
If I had to recommend anything it’d be Instant Shine, Instant Honesty, EST or MEO-EST from what I hear, perhaps some bit of p83 or p74.
Social, social, social, social, do NOT ruin the vibe with too much sexual or serious products. I would personally put the biggest emphasis on fun and comfort, meaning Shine and Honesty. I would never wear any sort of -none. I’ll speak for my fellow ravers and say, do not ruin the vibe for them. People are experiencing very strong emotions internally and -none could push it the wrong way. Also at the come down, there are different factors you need to consider.
Honestly, not that I encourage drug use among people who don’t conciously choose to, but the best thing you could do really is to understand the experience of taking MDMA and combine that with a comprehensive understanding of pheromones in a variety of situations.
There are a lot of different, intense emotions from start to finish. We call them ‘trips’ for a reason. We prepare for them, we get ready, and go on trips. When we come back, we’re usually exhausted physically and mentally. Pheromones alone can be exhausting if taken overboard.
It’s just a really complicated situation, IME, and a variety of factors come into play.
I forgot to add, girls that often play with the xtc crowd are also aware that there are guys trying to take advantage of their mental state and get super defensive (esp Asian girls who are used to being ‘protected’ by their clique). So that’s another thing to be aware of. I see girls with their boyfriends or whatever getting a back rub, and this guy comes over gives them a light show and tries to get in on the action. I’ve had to tell many a guy to back the fuck off.
