Eggers

Ha! No we didn't! I put mine to great use in high school, but I didn't really figure out what everything did until I was about 21. And then it was like, 'Cool! No *wonder* everyone's always on about sex!' Lol! My bf always laughs at me because I refer to myself as a 'recovering catholic'... hehe

That actually rings a bell, Mara. Years and years ago I read through The Joy of Sex, and I remember the author saying that one of the best aphrodisiac/attractants a woman has is her own scent, and suggested that women arouse themselves, and use their own secretions as a perfume to 'lure' their partners. He (she?) used some fancy French word I can't recall at the moment, but I clearly remember the suggestion. It makes a lot more sense now! So you don't necessarily produce less copulins as you get older? Is that correct? I wonder what it is then, that causes the BF to always want to 'get it on' at certain times in my cycle. I mean, I'm pretty sure you could set a clock by him - and he always comments (nicely) on my smell... weird. Thanks Mara. Lady V, I went to catholic school, and at the time, they told us squat!

This might fall under the umbrella of TMI, but how do you know if you're still producing a lot of cops? Here comes the TMI portion, so cover your eyes if you don't want to know! I've noticed that my boyfriend tends to 'respond' to me at certain points in my cycle. Obviously when I'm ovulating, but at very specific other points as well. If I'm feeling particularly aroused, but haven't given him any outward reason to suspect, he still responds, (by becoming snugglier, and kissier, which he is *not*, by definition), even if he doesn't act on it outright. Does this mean that I'm still producing a healthy amount of cops myself?

I don't see any need to advertise it either. I'd rather people, (specifically boyfriend), assume I'm just naturally sexy! Lol! Thanks for the welcome JOC!

I think the Sparkle Fuchsia is sold out too. Bummer. I read the reviews for it, and everyone loves it so much, I would have tried it in a heartbeat. I'm sure I'll figure it out. Thank goodness there are so many choices! It allows for a bit of playing around, to find what suits. I like that.

Calii, Love Potion Pink is one of the LP scents I most want to try. Is it 'sparkly' enough for Cougar? Really? That would makeme really excited. It's also one of the labels I love, so double happy to consider that suggestion. Xev, I love honey. Period. I adore the scent, the smell, the texture. I love everything about it. It's my favourite food, and I put it on everything. And I love the idea of a scent undergarment. Sexay!

Well I know * somebody* who's going to lose his bits sooner than expected! Lol! I can't have him humping me; he'll give my secret away!

I *do* come into contact with a lot of dogs. I am the resident pet-sitter amongst my group of friends. Plus, a lot of restaurants in my town allow dogs on their patios in the summer, so I like to have treats & sometimes rawhide to give them. One of my girlfriends had a dog called Casey who used to dive right into my backpack the minute I set it down. I thought it was pretty entertaining, but my friend had me start putting it in a cupboard when I got there, so Casey would be so presumptuous and rude! But she was so cute... Actually, once I bought myself a new bathtub plug that had a floating great white shark on the end of a chain, and when I went to have a beer with my friends on the patio of a local restaurant, a dog I knew, Blue, thought it was a squeaky toy, and ate it! Loll!

That's good thinking, Molls. I have a couple of metal cigarette cases that would probably do the trick. It's better than carrying around a padded make-up bag, which is what my first idea was. Too bulky though.

Great! The 'real' Eggers will spend all his time trying to hump the other two cats, Sunny & Nuts. Not like he doesn't do it now, but with cops in the house... Yikes! I'll have to get some kitty chastity belts!

Ha! That's funny MDC! I keep worrying about my unneutered male cat. (He will be neutered soon, but not before all my goodies get here. He's pretty good, doesn't spray or anything, but I'm not looking forward to pulling him outta the box when it arrives! He responds to my cycles, (which is weird, weird, weird), so I can't even imagine what he's going to do with a box full of sexy-smellin' stuff! Ha!

MDC, that is a conundrum! I guess everybody has their own 'method' to their madness. I know I'll probably want to have some pheros blended into scents, mostly 'cause I think it's fun trying to pair them up. But the whole UN thing has me kind of intrigued, just because of the versatility. I'll probably do both, too. Grr... I was all excited last night thinking that I could pair Cougar with Tangy Ylang, (because of BF's dislike of grapefruit), until I remembered that grapefruit is the tangy part of the Tangy Ylang. D'oh! Now I've got to figure something else out... Lady V, I'm 39 years old, and I still carry a backpack. Like a high school student's backpack. It's got everything you could ever possibly need during the course of a day. Pens, paper, books, makeup, lip balm, essential oils, bandaids, fingernail clippers, hair elastics, eye drops, Advil, tampons, dog treats - I don't even have a dog - gum, mouthwash, my journal, extra t-shirts, lighter etc... I hate being unprepared. Knowing this about myself, I've already tried to figure out what the safest mode of transport will be for my scents & pheros, because I know quite a few of them will wind up living permenently in my backpack. I need a nice little condo for them inside my backpack, preferably a padded condo, so they don't smash! I'm open to suggestions... ;-)

Okay. Thanks Luna. That one's a tough one for me - the Perfect Match one. My guy is *SO* not a touchy-feely guy, (a *huge* bummer as far as I'm concerned, 'cause a lot of the time it makes me feel like we're just buddies), and it kinda goes without saying that he's not much on PDA's or even hand-holding, so I keep wondering if I'll be able to get him close enough to fall under the influence of the phero if we were out and about together! I'll try it in oil. If it doesn't work, I can always knock him out and hug the stuffing out of him till he comes to! Lol!

Luna, yes, I do like the idea of matching pheros to perfumes that seem to suit them. It's really fun trying to figure out which suits which best. Or maybe that's just my tendency to need all my ducks in a row! Tangy Ylang and Cougar were two I'd paired up as well. I love ylang ylang. Makes me feel sexy and exotic. I suppose that later on down the road I might make some of my own matched phero/perfumes, just for the sake of it. I know it sounds kind of trite, but Perfect Match is one phero I can see myself using around the boyfriend a lot, and I'm not sure Portmanteau is a fragrance that appeals to me, so I'd thought Knot might work better with it. I know it's kind of cheesy, but I don't care! Lol! I love the description of that perfume, and I think it suits the spirit of the Perfect Match phero. Yes, I am well aware that I am a cheesy geek... AlienChangeling, I really see the appeal of un-phero'd scents & unscented pheros. I like the mix and match. Having made my own scents for the past God-knows-how-long, I'm used to having that kind of versatility. I used to go by recipes and make fancy, fancy perfumes, but honestly, I don't have time to do it anymore, and I think mixing pre-made scents with the phero of the day, or situation might be a good way for me to go. I'm definitely going to try this. Maybe with Cougar or Super-Sexy? I don't know... It is really awesome having all of these different avenues to take. Boggles my mind, really! But it's a good boggling. There was one other thing I was wondering... there are some pheros, like Perfect Match, that you want to use both in an intimate setting, and in public, like on a day out, yet you're really only looking to affect two people: you and the person you're with. So what kind of base do you choose for something like that, to get the correct kind of effect? Oil, alcohol or the 60/40 blend? Silicone? I've been puzzling over that one for days and days...

As I've been reading through everyone's posts, I've noticed that a lot of people here choose to wear UN pheros, and I was wondering what everyone's reasoning is. Is it because it's more versatile, (and you can try more perfumes this way)? Or is it because it's a cheaper way to go? Or because it's more effective for *you* in particular? Or for other reasons? I'm very curious about this. Also, I wonder how many people take advantage of the option to create their own blends of pheros/perfumes? I love that option, and can see myself doing that in the future, (have already tried to figure out what I might pair with Stone Cougar, because boyfriend *hates* grapefruit, yet I want something that will provide that youthful quality that everyone says grapefruit supplies in the Cougar Potion), just because I think personalizing scents with pheromones sounds like a fun endeavor. Plus, it's really entertaining to try pairing scents that have the same *feel* as the pheromone I'm considering. Congruence, I think is the common term for this. Anyway... information gleaned from the answers to this thread are purely for storing in my brain for future reference. Initially I plan to try the pre-mixed blends, to see how that goes. eta a missed word

Hi Molls! Thanks for the welcome! That's what I hope to do - the monthly order. I'm just way, way too impatient to do it any other way. Plus, it gives me time to save up for what I want, so that I don't overspend. Although I'm sure getting an order from LPMP will be even more overwhelming than even my biggest Sephora orders!

Is this a blend you'd use in an oil vs a spray? If you were using it for its intended purpose, I mean, ie, getting closer to your partner?

Calii, it took me a bit to realize what you meant by your shipping FAQ reminder. I just realized I sound like I'm going to be ordering little bits here and there. I won't! I promise! I like that the shipping and taxes are incorporated here, and I don't want to mess that perk up for anyone. It's nice to know before you put something in your cart, exactly what it's going to cost. It makes shopping that much easier. Plus, I'm too impatient to wait for a lot of little orders to make their way to me. Lol! I'm much more likely to make bigger orders to cut down on my wait time, and capitalize on the 'big gift' sensation I get when I recieve a box FULL of goodies in the mail! Then I feel like I really feel like I treated myself.

Ha! Cookedteeth that cat is *awesome*! Made me snort! And that pretty much sums it up for me, too with regards to Alpha guys. I get all weirded-out and then all I can think to say is, "Ummm... Yeah... I gotta go...". Yup, I'm pretty smooth! Lol! It's a cloddish sort of behaviour I'm famous for within my circle of friends. My boyfriend has been witness to that manouever too. It makes them all laugh. As long as I amuse, I guess!

Ha! I love the zombie! He has lovey-dovey eyes! Alright then! Waiting for Dead Ed to show up & make me rich, one way or the other... lol!

McMahon. The Publisher's Clearing House dude. But I think he's dead, in which case it would be really creepy if he turned up at my house holding a great big cardboard check!

HAHA! I'll keep my eyes peeled for Ed! (is Ed dead?).

EOSP - I would *love* to be able to wear SS4W 'naked' around the house. (I don't mean I would be naked... I meant the phero! But hey, who knows?) It would be devilishly awesome to be able to wear something like that without a cover, while hanging around the house, and let the boyfriend wonder why I seem *so much sexier than usual*! But ha! With my luck, my guy will turn out to be one of those dudes with a super-sniffer and tell me I stink! Else he'd blame it on the cats.Lol! Then out comes the perfume! I think I might try the LAM sampler next time. And my fraidy-cat stance on the beta-nol in BAM may be weakening, too. I'm so curious that I want to try one of everything except TMI and True Confessions. Those two really freak me out. Some things you just don't want to hear. All the others sound like I want to give them a shot, just to get a good idea of what works and what doesn't. God, I went through all the perfumes last night and found very, very few that I wouldn't like to try. This place is going to cost me a fortune! Let's just hope Publisher's Clearing House stops teasing me and just sends me the big cardboard check already!

Gah! Sorry for the double posting. I tried to edit, but my stupid touch screen wouldn't let me scroll down. Just wanted to say thanks Dolly, for describing the LAM & BAM for me. It's nice to know there's something subtle out there that might suit my purposes! :-)

Dolly, once I get a bit braver with the whole pheromone thing, I might just try cops "plain" someday, just for a laugh. I really have to say that I like the way this site is set up. For instance, I think it's really cool that you can add cops to one bottle, and have the same scent cops-free if you want. I like the versatility, and I'm really looking forward to finding what works for me. It's really a comfort knowing there are so many different avenues to try. That alone makes LP the best place to be, of all the different phero-web sites I've visited. Add the scents in, and the variety, the versatility - it's no wonder this site is such a winner. Darbla, I was actually thinking I'd like to try Swimming with Sharks, too, because it would be nice to have that kind of authority - *royal* authority - with my customers. But my boss - who also happens to be the chef - has a temper and a mouth like Gordon Ramsey's, and I'd be afraid to provoke him, since he tends to leave me be. I like to let well enough alone! Lol! Especially as our kitchen is an open kitchen, so if he yells at you for doing something stupid, the whole damned restaurant knows you F*cked up! Still, I probably will try it out on him at some point, because I really need to have that sweet shark label, and I might as well try putting the phero to use! That label's too cute! So you'll have to wish me luck on that count, 'cause my boss is a loud and scary man. I'm lucky he loves me! You can bet I'll post a review of *that* one if and when I decide to try it!
