Eggers Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Okay, one other thing that's been nagging me is this 'truth serum' effect of beta-androstenol. Now I understand that in higher dosages is can have this effect, hence, I have absolutely *no* interest in trying True Confessions or TMI - people tell me too much secret crap already for some reason, and most of the time it's stuff I didn't need or want to know. No need to prompt any more secret-telling. But is it likely to have this same effect in other blends, like say, BAM, or Perfect Match? 'Cause during sex or a lovely afternoon out is not the time/place that I would want to hear unsolicited 'secrets'. No thanks. Can anyone elaborate futher the effects of beta-androstenol in the more sexual/lovey-dovey blends? I mean, does it just make for a more open atmosphere? Or will I have to contend with hearing a running commentary of things better left unsaid? I'm very curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 BAM! purposely has less beta-nol in the ratio to avoid the "truth serum" effect but sitll encourages intimacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggers Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Okay, good. That's what I wanted to know. Intimacy I'm happy with. It's the unnecessary verbal diarrhea that I would like to avoid - those things that should never have been said seem to stick in my mind like stubborn mental burrs. I keep looking at BAm! 'cause I like the tag-line, haha! But I keep shying away from it for fear of that icky 'I can't believe you just said that to me!' possibility. Gives me the emotional willies! Maybe I'll give it a try next time... thanks Luna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 BETA-ANDROSTENOL ~ May be worn by both women and men, and is known for creating rapport, a sense of intimacy and emotional bonding between people, as well as instilling trust. It lends an impression that you have known a person for a long time - even if you have only just met. Used in high concentration, it can have a truth-serum type effect on people, including the wearer. A little of this pheromone goes a long way - one needs to use a smaller amount of beta-nol to produce a larger effect than other molecules of greater concentration. Beta-Androstenol may be used alone, but is most often used in conjunction with other pheromones in order to take advantage of its' bonding, intimacy promoting qualities.

Eggers Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Thanks Mara. I did read that in the B-Nol description in the Wiki. I was just concerned about PM and BAM because it's listed first. Guess I'm being overly-cautious! eta: it could be the four cups of coffee I've just had!

Eggers Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Good! At least I won't be lonely! Lol! I can't seem to stop. I get up to do stuff, but it's just little things - dishes, make dinner etc... but then I"m right back at it. My boyfriend thinks I'm nuts. He's like, 'are you *still* reading that perfume site?' He has no idea what he's in for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietguy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I will say that I prefer the b-nols to the a-nols. At least with the b-nols people are telling you things they think are important as opposed to the blathering "verbal diarrhea" you get with the a-nols. BTW I like that phrase although people seem to get insulted from time to time when I use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggers Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hey quietguy, now *there's* something I never thought to expect. Verbal diarrhea from exposure to A-nols? Maybe I shouldn't be so frightened of the b-nols after all! ;-) I like that phrase, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
