Well, recieved my
sample pack (along with some extra TE that I ordered to justify shipping to myself) and thought I would post the log
of my day. I work at a grocery store, sort of a high-end health food store that sells a lot of natural and organic
products. I am a 28 year old caucasian male, 5'8" 220 lbs. This is the first time I have used pheros since about
2000, when a friend sprayed some Realm on me. Anyways, here we go:
4:33pm - application, likely a low amount as
I have no desire to OD at work. Smell was neutral with a slight baby powder/alcohol scent. Subjective effects
include not-unpleasant pressure behind the eyes and very slight flushing. (Dabs were applied on pulse points and
the inside of my elbow. probably about 1/6 to 1/5 a gel pack)
4:36pm - Notice slight mood elevation, slight
increase in libido, and a slight increase in muscular energy potential (I feel like I can lift heavy things with
less difficulty). These are consistent with past experiments with testosterone-increasing supplements, so my guess
would be a mild increase in testosterone.
4:55pm - I remember this sensation. I used to feel like this all the
time in high school. Interesting.
5:20pm - Just had a customer (older woman, around 45+) ask me several
questions. Said customer is usually reserved. Can't tell if it was TE or not, but I suspect that it was my own
perception.
5:30pm - The temptation to reapply is difficult to resist, but this is SCIENCE! People *are* seeming
friendlier, but I still think it's the elevated mood on my part causing most of this.
5:32pm - Re-applied,
bringing me to a full 1/4 packet. I never could resist temptation
5:46pm - My roommate, who also applied a bit
of it, says the smell is a combo of baby powder and B.O., but I only smell the baby powder. I may not be able to
smell -none. Where the cover scent has faded, I can smell a mild "sweat" smell.
8:14pm - I suspect bacterial
conversion in a couple of the application points, the inside of my wrists in particular. The scent has changed to
be a much more musky smell.
9:36pm - I am suddenly very tired, and it is difficult to finish my duties for the
day.
So there you have it. No real hits, but I wasn't expecting any on my first go round. I was interested
in seeing if there were any effects on my own psychology, and I think that there were definitely notable
differences. I was also a bit more impatient than usual. Overall, I am excited about this project and look forward
to seeing where it goes from here.
