will wearing mones
cause the mones you produce to decrease. will your body try to get at an equilibrium point?

Unlikely. Pheromone excretion is
regulated by internal metabolic pathways, and should not be affected by external application of pheromones. If that
was the case, then 3 hours in the gym would also decrease pheromone production due to the pheromone buildup in such
places. Even if it does get affected, withdrawal of the external source should force the body to resume the
production of pheromones.

To quote myself from earlier
today (with a slight edit to remove the lazy posting factor ;) ):
"there is no feedback process that controls
the amount of pheromones present on your skin (i.e when there is lots, preduction will not slow).
However, it has
been suggested that detection of sex pheromones causes an individual to react by secreting more of their own sex
pheros as a responce, for example, to an individual you want to attract. There is also a possibility that the
increase in sex hormones in the blood will result in a spike in pheromone production (these two may be one and the
same).
I'm not sure how those two points interact, I guess it's a case of deciding how we would differentiate
between self-produced and foreign pheromones."
