I can see
where you are coming from.. You say wouldn\'t been good for your own personal development if you would have used
mones at a younger age, but what does it have to do with morality?
It\'s been
awhile since morality and mone use have been addressed specifically as a Thread Topic. With all the newer members
now with us I thought it would be a good time to discus the issue. I am most interested to read the thoughts on this
subject from some of these newer and younger, teenage and early 20\'s, members.
I have been using mones
with both social and (finally) sexual success for the past 6 months or so. With the social mixes I use, my life is
much better all the way around. People are happy to be around me and very friendly toward me. I am a nice person but
a bit reclusive and mone\'s have made social interaction very easy for me. My world is different now. I don\'t
see a morality issue at all in the positive reactions I get from using mone\'s socially.
As for my sexual
success with mone\'s, Hmmm,,, here we go.
I have had one sexual (semi on-going) relationship using
mone\'s. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the relationship would never have happened were it not for
mone\'s!!!! The woman is 17 years younger than me and is DDG, which is quite rare where I live. The use of
social mone\'s got me in the door. My charm, my whit, my overall wonderful personality and mone\'s got us into
bed together. She ain\'t complaining and neither am I but it never would have happened without the mone\'s. We
haven\'t talked about a future together. I don\'t really see a long term relationship with her but both she and
I have found a good friend in each other and this is a very positive thing. A positive thing that never would have
happened if not for the mone\'s. I have no intention telling her I\'m on the \"juice\"!!!!
Was it
immoral of me to use mone\'s to get her into bed? Now that we are good friends, is it immoral of me not to tell
her about mone\'s?
I\'m an older man and somewhat mellowed by age. I wonder what it would have been like
for me to have used mone\'s when I was younger. Looking back on my life as a younger man I don\'t think it would
have been good for me to use them. It\'s important to note here that I don\'t think mone\'s are in any way
like ruffie\'s. The use of mone\'s DOES NOT cause anybody to do anything against their will but they are very
influential and in some settings they are powerfully influential. This would not have been a good thing for me to
have had when I was younger. Please note in my last sentence the use of \" I \". I am speaking for myself and not
generalizing. I will expand on my reasons for believing this as reply\'s are made to this thread.
I can see
where you are coming from.. You say wouldn\'t been good for your own personal development if you would have used
mones at a younger age, but what does it have to do with morality?
Anyone
know where I can get some roofies?
When
discussing the moral issue of pheromone use, one would have to state by what \"morals\" they are judging.
Federal, State, Local Law \"morals\"? Christian morals? Muslim morals? I say as long as they stay within the
law, pheromone users can and should buy and use pheromones at their own discretion, just as with any other everyday
consumer goods. Comparing pheromones to spikes, mickeys, roofies, is bullshit. All those are drugs used to
incapacitate someone against their will and have sex with them in their weakened state. Pheromones just increase
your desireability towards the opposite sex. I guess there should be laws against working out at the gym as well,
because that does damn near the same thing, and with more solid results. Push-ups bras and make-up for women.
Those should be heavily regulated as well I suppose? See what I mean about bullshit?
Slinger
It\'s
phrased differently in different languages in almost all cultures. Philosophers come to the same conclusion as
theologians.
Most of us know it as \"Do unto others as we would have others do unto us.\"
The question
then becomes, we we be happy to find out that our new spouse used pheromones to attract us and get us to
commit?
Personally, I don\'t think I\'d have a problem with that.
Here\'s
my take on it. If it isn\'t hurting anyone, go for it. Many of these products put people in a good mood. Is there
anything immoral about making someone happier? We all do different things to make ourselves more attractive to the
opposite sex. Phero\'s are no different. They don\'t make a person do something that they wouldn\'t ordinarily
do. This topic is such an individual thing. Everyone has their own opinion and will have to decide for themselves
whether it\'s ethical, or not, to use them. For myself, it\'s no different then putting on a good cologne in
hopes that the scent will attract the opposite sex. The funny thing is, that no one would ever question someone
using a nice cologne to accomplish what we here are trying to accomplish with phero\'s.

The one
distinction from other \'attractiveness enhancers\' (like clothes, cologne, makeup, charm, conversation, fit
body, etc.) is that pheros operate on the unconscious. The other things I mentioned are perceived consciously and
the viewer understands consciously about the attractiveness (she sees the clothes or whatever, and decides
consciously what that means to her). Pheros, if they operate like we think, bypass the conscious perception and work
deep in the limbic and/or reptilian brain. They work whether targets consciously perceive an odor or not.
And
that\'s why phero use is exciting. We like to hit our \'victim\' with pheros unawares. Thus the cologne
\'cover\', to secretly influence our target without her conscious knowledge. I don\'t think many of us would
admit to the target that we were using the \'juice\', although I may be wrong about that. I myself certainly
don\'t admit it to anyone.
I don\'t have a problem with the sneaky side of it, because I accept my own
sneakiness and get a little thrill out of being more \'attractive\' than my genetics and obvious traits would
indicate. Others may find covert influence unethical, and I can\'t argue with that - I see the point. But I\'ll
still just go ahead and admit the ethics are dubious at best, and keep trying to score with women I don\'t deserve
(by nature). It\'s my dirty little secret.
Score one for the
competitive advantage of intelligence.
I think a case can be made that women have spread their legs for dumb
jocks far too much for the true advancement of the human species. Intelligence should be rewarded more and I think
the intelligent use of pheromones might just do that.
Good point
Whitehall! I\'ve gotta experiment with mones other than at bars. I doubt that they will work as well at the gym
with sweat involved. I\'m definitely looking forward to testing at a popular bech here in Mpls. Unfortunately that
will not be for another 7 months! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
I agree - the
beta male (or omega!) that lurks on the fringes while the alphas fight it out, and sneaks over to the female while
the \'real\' males are distracted, passes his genes along as surely as the \'noble\' alphas. There\'s room
for a little sneakiness in the gene pool!
Plus I don\'t want to overstate the possible shady ethics of phero
use. The case mentioned of drug rape is different on many grounds from unconscious attractiveness enhancement from
phero use. The drug rapist obliterates his victim\'s will and ability to resist - then he rapes her. A phero user
makes himself more attractive in an unconscious way, but he doesn\'t nullify the target\'s will. He attempts to
influence her to follow his will, and he does it in a way not obvious, but her will is still intact. No one is
compelled to submit to an attractive seducer, even though we may find it tempting to do so.

Yes, they are indeed.
If you do something

If you do something that makes them have a good time.
If they have a good time
or feel good when they wouldn\'t have if you hadn\'t done the thing.
Are you hurting them?
I don\'t
think so.
If pheros can make someone feel good you are improving their life as well as your own.

The potential problems/moral issues with the use of pheromones is several:
1. They are
supposedly working on the subconscious level, where they are purportedly affecting/adjusting individuals perceptions
and reactions covertly. Would the use of synthetic pheromones to alter the perceptions and thoughts (and primarily
sexual feelings) of people through the subconscious via subterfuge be deemed as acceptable or normal by society?
2.
The use of synthetic pheromones has the potential to change the process of natural selection. Where an individual
may not have found a person attractive/appealing/desirable without the use of pheromones, they now find the
pheromone user engaging enough to consider them as qualified to be a sexual mate. (There are reasons why the more
dominant of a species is preferred/chosen for mates. Does the use of synthetic pheromones have the potential to
slowly degrade the overall quality of the human species by allowing a greater percentage of ineffectual/mediocre
individuals to at least have the ability to reproduce? )
Regardless of the possible beneficial outcome to
affected/influenced individuals, or if there is minimal or negligible \"hurting\" on a physical or emotional
level, synthetic pheromones are being employed as a method to change/adjust/affect another persons views/perceptions
on a subconscious level surreptitiously. At least to me, this most certainly brings up questions and concerns on a
moral and ethic level, and I can envision that all it would take is a couple of pissed off people (\"I can\'t
believe that I actually slept with that bag of crap. What\'s this in their nightstand? Pheromones? That SOB
tricked me into sleeping with him/her?! I\'m calling my congressman about this!\" And all of a sudden you have
a senate subcommittee grilling Bruce, JVK, and the phero power players about moral issues, and then the FDA is
really all over it like stink on a monkey - not too mention the outrage and condemnation by the right wing
fundamental moralists.)
Basically, I think that it is a sneaky, underhanded, licentious way to try to help
people who would otherwise sit around with a thumb up their butt as they watch those who actually deserve to get
laid get laid. You are a gutless turd who doesn\'t have the grapes to ask someone out, or you are just one of
those people who will live their life on the fringes of physical and emotional mediocrity, or you are just a walking
pile of wretched malfeasance and sexual deviance. Either way, you are trying to get nook by being a sneak. Is that
just wrong and bad, or are you simply following the path of \"All\'s fair in love and war.\" and using
technology to gain the upper hand?
That being said, I own the following products: The Edge, Primal Instinct, New
Pheromone Additive, Pheromol Factor, Pheromax, Alter-Ego, WAGG-N, Rogue Male, Andro 4.2, Attraction, Scent of Eros,
PPA, and various Super Primal Essential Oils. And previous to discovering pheromones, I have told women that my
name is Lance and that I was one or more of the following: professional baseball player, model, FBI agent, contract
assassin, race car driver, and neuro surgeon. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

People do this sort

Computers are so last millenium - biotech is the 21st Century.
As to craftiness, I wasn\'t
lonely before pheromones but my scoring probablity has improved with them. Plus, I can exert subtle control over
social situations in many positive ways.
Like the arguments about gun control, the morality of the actions depend
not on the technical features so much as on the character of the human using it.
Pheromones offer new powers to
individuals - how you - YOU - use those powers is the moral and ethical issue.
Exactly, the morality of this situation can only be evaluated by looking at the individual.

However, unlike the gun, the proverbial trigger has
already been pulled as soon as you put on the pheromones. You\'ve got no control over the subconscious
reactions/feelings of the people being affected by them as you\'re already shooting down everybody that comes
within smelling distance. It ain\'t like you got a choice of which people are going to smell them and those who
don\'t. You\'re just a raging shotgun wielding madman in terms of subconscious perceptions. A freakin\' live
grenade.

I beg to differ. The individual has no physical control over how
other are going to perceive them in terms of the pheromones having the potential to alter that perception. You
don\'t \"use\" them in a specific manner. You apply them and away you go. Damn the consquences because you
don\'t have any control over how others are going to perceive you after the application.
That\'s the moral
dilema. You are using a synthetic product in order to enhance peoples subconscious perceptions of you. Unless you
inform each and every person you come into contact with that you are wearing synthetic pheromones that may
subconsciously alter their perception of you, then you are knowingly attempting to deceive and dupe people. At
least to me, that isn\'t completely morally correct. May god have mercy on your evil, duplicitous soul you vile
swines! (Maybe phero products should come with warning T-shirts: \"I am wearing pheromones so that others will
perceive me as more attractive, assertive and dominant. Please react accordingly.\")
Sacogoo:
What you are talking about is perception. Perception at the subconcous level can be affected by the way
you dress, your demeanor or how you speak amongst many other things. We\'ve all seen how some people abuse their
natural gifts, whether it be looks or the ability to convince others. How an individual uses that perception is the
real issue. If You are using a perception to harm others then you are doing wrong whether you are wearing pheromones
or not. Pheromones are simply another tool used in the age old game. So long as you are not forcing yourself on
somebody or chemically subduing their will, you are not harming them. They still have the free choice in how to
respond to you.
I am curious though. If you feel so strongly that the use of pheromones is evil, what are you
doing here?

The problem is, those things (clothes, actions, cologne, mannerisms,
etc.) are not on the subconscious level. These are things that can be identified through sight, sound, smell.
These are things that people can perceive through their senses and can react in a manner to which their particular
tastes and perceptions are attuned towards. However, pheromones are typically being used by those who are knowingly
using deception attempting to influence others on a subconscious level.
Are pheromones any different than, say,
subliminal messages in advertising? Are pheromones the Coca-Cola picture spliced into the movie previews at the
theater?

But to a certain degree you are forcing yourself on them, or at the vary least, making an
attempt to change their views and opinions about you subconsciously. There are numerous testimonials throughout the
forum postings that indicate that \"I would have never gotten a person like this if it weren\'t for the
pheromones.\" Doesn\'t that indicate that the pheromones are actually changing a particular persons
views/perceptions? I\'m pretty certain that most people don\'t let on that they are using pheromones during
their relationships with people, so it seems pretty obvious that at least some individuals are making a conscious
effort to alter a persons views for their own benefit. Is that type of action something that would be considered
morally correct? Perhaps it depends on the individual, but I\'m not certain that society as a whole fully
understands pheromones, and most probably discounts or dismisses their effect on the subconscious due to skepticism
from a lack of understanding, exposure, objective government research (if that\'s even possible), or whatever.

Do they? From experience, I don\'t know if they do or
not. This obviously has a multitude of factors to consider, but I do know that by using pheromones I immediately
saw and experienced what I feel were positive reactions that would not have taken place without them on a
subconscious level.

Sacogoo:
You dodged the question. If you believe mones are unethical, why are you using them? Your actions and
your statements are contraddictory. Or are your arguments wholly spurious?
Considering mones to be unethical is
akin to considering working out or dressing beyond your means to be unethical. All of them create impressions that
ARE NOT wholly on the concious level. Powerful techniques are taught in psycology to create rapport and lower
another person\'s resistance, are they unethical as well? None of them will force somebody into bed with you.
Using the same logic, a very glib guy talking a not so quick lady into bed would be unethical. Isn\'t it much more
unethical to buy somebody several drinks in an effort to seduce her? You are using drugs to circumvent her free
will. If she has already had several, her judgment is probably impaired to some degree. Just because alcohol is
socially acceptable does not mean that it is right. It certainly reduces the person\'s free choice far more than a
sober person being affected by mones would. Where would you like to draw the line?
This
is all old news and nonsense.
