Combo specific sub-forum

[knowledgeispower]

Surfing through the forums here and a big thing in pheroland, it seems, is to mix a few different elements together creating some fantastic combos for different situations. Now, I am aware that works for 1 may not for another but I was just thinking that having these sub-forums in the men's and women's sections and having the posts stating in concise form effects and outcomes, dosages, location of application, environmental settings, etc, etc, would be quite beneficiary to the community.....

Just a thought ???? ????

My memory can be pretty bad at times but I think someone had already suggested that and started to start one.

If not, totally sorry. GREAT IDEA!

I was never one for combos at first. I just loved the idea of having one bottle do the trick. I know what each one does , I use them when I want that specific effect and that was it for me.

I hate to waste so having all these products in hand and sometimes not getting the necessary results from them was a no no. So I started doing combos and the results are excellent.

I think all of us are searching for the "it" bottle for both men and women. I think Xist was the closest thing to that for Men that achieved its intended target but it was only meant for a specific group of people (at least that was how Mustang envisioned it at first going back through his original thread from 2013 in PheroTruth), although it seems it is a lot more versatile and applicable than what he originally intended. That being said, even Xist isn't "alpha" enough or "sexual" enough for some Men.

I think what I love most about PXS is it had the original intention AD did when I joined them a decade ago, but PXS is actually working on turning these great discoveries by community members into actual products while AD seems to have other intentions. I think we are all still searching for the "it" formulation but we are ever so close with PXS and you could argue from the reviews I have read that we may already be there and the different formulations are just for slightly different vibes.

I think the reality is that there are so many pheromones out there that each elicit a different response, many of which PXS has identified, that we are all looking for the proper ratio to get the "he/she is a person of status that I respect, worthy of a relationship, sexy, and turns me on all at the same time". I think we are so close with PXS products....I am getting my first order in today so I am very excited to begin testing PXS!

But there probably will never be a perfect all-in-one because different social situations can necessitate different formulations (such as at work vs on a date) and not to mention that gender identity is becoming a real issue of discussion in society, and part of that is hormonal variation among populations which also means that not every single man and not every single woman will respond the same to the same pheromones.

So maybe a tool that allows you to search by GOALS on the forum like we have in the store. Expanded so each blend is associated with the terms (Ascend: alpha, suit, calming, attraction, etc). The user can either select the predefined GOALS, or input them and the forum returns a combo based on user experience.

If I get what your thinking here, and I really hope I do because I like it, this maybe a possibility. I'm not sure how it would work as to the limitation of the coding of the forum itself. On the other hand getting people to follow formats, well honestly it isn't going to happen. People are people and well. I also am totally against attempting to force the creative process of peoples posts in any way, but I think you have something here. Its similar to something I created a very long time ago, which is how GOALS came about in the first place, but hmm I might have an idea that could be implemented. A search tool that doesn't have to follow the inherent limitations of forum coding.

As to the all in one, its never going to happen! Which is why I want to create as many blends as possible so that each person can utilize anything that works for them and add value or remove it for that matter as a layered effect to achieve the desired blend. A blend that's super alpha, hardly works for me, but by adding APi to Barely Legal and Limitless with a dab of Vibes, WOW but that's just me. Each new addition is an adventure for me, but knowing my audience allows me to fine tune it with each addition or subtraction.

I want to preface this with please do not take this stance as anything but speaking as to the reaction of hormones by those identifying with other genders than their own genitalia. Personally I am an open caring person and believe everyone should have the right to pursuit happiness.

I admit I completely disagree with how we respond to hormones, or ectohormones in our pheromone case. Regardless of how somebody "identifies" as to their gender without scientific research, documentation and thus peer reviewed published studies we are a far way from accepting that as normal. Perhaps in liberal countries like the US or some of Europe its socially acceptable but I'm under the impression the WHO still classifies it as a mental disorder. I'm pretty certain they have some names and classifications for my creative being and persona too, so it doesn't say much other than what it is. Society likes to label things but our physiology well that's entirely different.

We all use costumes to change our outward appearances, but most of us do not believe by putting on a banana suit do we therefore identify as a banana. Just like if I was to put on a police uniform it would not make me a police officer. Our bodies are what identifies us sexually and according to our reproductive organs that we are born with. We can dress up like a man or women, act like a man or women, talk like one, walk like one, introduce hormones to condition ourselves like one, even have ourselves surgically altered to look like one, but we can never, ever change our genetic reproductive truth.

So I guess I'm saying that I'm not sure that hormonal variation is truly something that will effect anyone with our pheromone usage. I can say we have quite a few LGBT Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender clients and 99% of them stick with blends designed for them. We used to have an employee and a good friend of mine who was employed with us who was gay. I made a lot of blends for that guy and he eventually met someone special and moved away to be with him. He always got the best results from the blends made for everyone else.

I know there is a very popular male product that I was informed by the designer that is also being sold under another label for gay males. Even though I don't like the person who designed it at the time I gave them my word I wouldn't reveal the product and so I won't but the point is, well shit what the hell is the point? LOL Oh yeah, the point is I think we react the way our genetic makeup is designed to react.

Sorry for the ramble

That's a great idea actually. I agree it would involve others' co-operation; I've seen something like this in a different type of forum (not sure if it was vBulletin) that allowed anyone to "tag" a post with keywords. This way if the original poster did not "tag" their post other's can do so as well and contribute in that way. So you could set up tags for the different Goals and if people did not tag the post ideally others will. Not sure how that would work with vBulletin but it might not be too hard to implement.

And thank you for your perspective on this (hormones and gender identity). This is something of interest to my because my wife has been diagnosed with a condition that elevates her testosterone levels (presumably, she has not been tested for hormone levels). That being said, as I reported in my journal, Evolve works wonders on her! I was a bit concerned with using a high eNONE product because of this, but in the end it seemed to work just great. So I agree with you, in that physical sex characteristics may still dominate over any individual identities...
