  Pheromones In General

What are pheromones?

Pheromones are natural chemical scents the body produces in order to communicate with others nearby. They are well documented in the animal kingdom as the force that controls all social behavior, including mating. In recent years scientists have found that human behavior is also heavily influenced by these invisible airborne chemicals. Scientists have long known that odors and subliminal scents - or Pheromones influence how animals develop, mate, bond, and nurture their offspring.

It has come to be known that humans are no exception. Odors can accelerate puberty, control women's menstrual cycles, and even influence sexual orientation. They help us tell lovers and family members from strangers and let mothers and infants bond. Odors affect how often we have sex, and with whom. They influence how the brain develops, what we remember, and how we learn. (James Kohl - Researcher)

• Pheromones are natural chemical scents the body produces in order to attract others. 
• When Pheromones are secreted they can dictate sexual behavior and attract the opposite sex.
• Pheromones are hormones naturally produced by all humans and these chemicals are used
   to communicate on a subconscious level with one another.

Do pheromones have a smell? I thought they were scentless.

Anyone who owns a bottle of Primal Instinct or NPA can tell you that if you get a good nose full of Androstenone you will be able to smell it. It is a musky smell that some customers have even described as BO or stale sweat. That is what one particular human pheromone (Androstenone) smells like.

The scentless claim just means that Pheromones are effective at levels undetectable with our normal smelling system. The mood lifting, friendliness and attention getting reactions still occur if we can't consciously smell the pheromones because we detect them with a method that is not our normal sense of smell. This method is largely unknown, but it is done by some combination of the Vomeronasal Organ and the Olfactory Membranes.

So, the real Pheromone effect happens subconsciously, and doesn't require that others get that musky smell. It's like the subliminal message on self-help tapes. The sound is there and you can hear it, but it slips in underneath other sounds on the tape. The Pheromone smell is there, but you don't really notice it, because of other smells.

That is why many people use a good cologne (or naturally scented oil) with unscented Pheromone products like Primal Instinct. It blends with the Pheromone smell and makes it a little more digestible (approachable). Also, if you are wearing a sexy cologne or perfume, it will wake up the sense of smell of your target, he/she will intentionally make an effort to get a good whiff of you, and then the Pheromones go to work. The fragrance works as a carrier for the Pheromones.

What is the difference between Androstenone and Androstenol? 

They are both testosterone-linked Pheromones and produced in different ratios on the bodies of both men and women. Androstenone is more of an aggressive pheromone than Androstenol. Primal Instinct contains only Androstenone, and is proud of the fact, while the product Attraction and most of the Stone Lab products contain both. 

 

 

  About Pheromone Products

Why are there so many products, what is the difference?

The many different types of Pheromones cater for the many and varied needs of the pheromone customer. The majority of pheromone users are wanting to increase their presence and the amount of attention they get, and thus the majority of Pheromone products contain Androstenone. There are also products that aim to increase your approachability.

What is good for beginners?

There is usually a Beginner's Special available that offers 1-2 of the leading products at a discount  price and often with great supporting services/products and special guarantee for new folks.

How long do they last?

Pheromones hold up much longer than normal cologne, but if you apply them to the body, quite a bit is washed away or broken down in the first 4-6 hours. Actual breakdown time depends VERY much on body heat, sweating, and personal body chemistry; so in the winter on your wrists the scent might last much longer, and if it gets onto your clothing, it can last for days or weeks! The Edge can be applied to clothing directly and will last for weeks or until washed out. 

 

 

  Using Pheromones

How do I make the most of pheromones?

Remember that Pheromones are tools. It takes a little practice to learn to work with them

Men -  Be the good guy! Pheromones give you an aura of power, but that can be scary for shy women if you look grumpy or like a lone wolf. Always look for opportunities to be helpful and supportive of women. It is also very important to be a friendly, interesting, entertaining guy. Pheromones will enhance these good attributes, but if they aren't there in the first place, there is nothing to enhance.  

Women -  Be approachable! If you suffer from the ice maiden syndrome, Pheromones are only going to push you further out of reach, even to guys you would love to get to know. You don't necessarily have to make the first move, but be ready to come up with a warm smile and maybe even a cheerful hello, if you happen to make eye contact with a guy.

 Everybody -  Practice makes perfect. Don't wait for Mr. or Ms. perfect to come along before you start acting like a friendly sensual human being. Start now, be friendly; be helpful; be funny. Don't be like the crazy old man shouting at his wood stove: Damn it! I'll give you some wood as soon as you give me some heat! People love to be loved. People love to be with folks who look like they are having a good time. Women in particular are often looking for someone whose life is headed in a positive direction. Chemistry is only half the picture you give to folks. Humans are more complex/social/spiritual than other animals. It takes more than a spray of Pheromones to get where you are heading.

How and where do I apply Pheromones?

For starters, try all the normal perfume spots: wrists, behind the ears, throat, and chest. Next level: inside of elbows and knees if exposed. Women report success with ankles and thighs. Requiring more caution but reportedly very effective for Pheromones in the right amounts are: arm pits, hair and pubis. Unscented sprays are often applied to clothing collars and cuffs for long term use. Watch out for over-application and staining of fine material.

Can I mix phero's with my own cologne or perfume?

Yes, mixing Pheromones with cologne or perfume is a great way to use Pheromones. We usually recommend you use an unscented Pheromone to mix with your current cologne or perfume. Cologne fragrances are generally very complex and adding one scented product to another can lead to unexpected results. Be careful or leave that to the pros. 

Is it better to apply to the skin or to clothing?

 Both skin and clothing applications are effective in their own way. Due to body heat Pheromones applied to the skin evaporate very fast putting them into "effect" very quickly. This may be what you want in some cases, but it also means the active ingredients get used up very quickly. In addition, Pheromones applied to the skin also get washed away by sweat and broken down by bacteria on the skin. Unscented spray products like Edge are easily applied to clothing. Just keep in mind that the will be on there for a LONG time, and may take several washings to come off completely. You may want to be careful of delicate fabric too.

What kind of expectations can I have? 

You can expect a lot from high quality concentrated pheromone products like Primal Instinct, AFA, SOE and The Edge etc. It just takes a little while to get good at using them. Some people might see results instantly, but the majority of people will get better results over time. Pheromones are more of a tool than a magic wand. You have to learn to work with them. What you have there is a top of the line tennis racket. It takes practice to make the most of it. 

Tips for men: First of all keep in mind what a high-end andro product does. It makes you more attractive in a male sort of a way, more manly, studly, etc. That is a good thing for attracting most women, but keep in mind that generally you have to look friendly. You have to temper the stud thing with Mr. Helpful or you are going to have a hard time breaking the ice with most women. Primal Instinct makes you seem more powerful but I can tell you from experience that women have to get the feeling that you are going to use that power to protect them and not control or exploit them. Weak and helpful is a loser, but tough and mean also loses. If you walk into a convenience store looking like Clint Eastwood, you aren't going to get anybody approaching you.

Tips for women: Be mysterious, be seductive but be approachable. Fear is your worst enemy, both in yourself and in the guys you would like to meet. Help make the "ice" easily broken, be generous with your warm smile and "hello" and then just let the chemistry take its course.
