Astrid Jutte presented a poster session at an olfactory conference held on Coranado Island (San Diego, CA) in 1998 (at least I think it was 1998). She brought along a sample vial of the mix she used in her experiments that increased saliva testosterone levels in men who were exposed. The only mix that had this effect was the mix that closely matched the ovulatory secretions used in experiments on rhesus monkeys. This mix was, without a doubt, familiar to most of the researchers who smelled it during the time I observed. No one reacted negatively; it did not reek! It was a very fragrant version of what we might expect while engaged in very enjoyable oral-genital sex with a woman. By very enjoyable, I mean the best time you\'ve ever had gratifying a woman with your lips and tongue. Obviously, you\'re not going to enjoy giving head if there is any negative odor association--and not if it reeks down there.
A 17y/o girl participated in an uncontrolled experiment for me. She wore a T-shirt each night for three nights during the ovulatory phase of her cycle. A 43 y/o woman sent me a T-shirt she wore during the same phase of her cycle. She sent it because she wanted to know if her pheromones were the reason men consistently fell-in-love with her rapidly and deeply, and she typically turned the head of any man she passed by. Also, a girlfriend of hers had worn some of this woman\'s clothing and noticed how much more attention she received, compared to normal. The T-shirt smells both were a somewhat more faint version of Astrid\'s mix. (Bruce can comment on the scent of the 17 year old.) My current plan is to reproduce Astrid\'s mix, and match it to T-shirt samples of the same women, or of other subjects who are willing to contribute some clothing to my research efforts. At some point, the mix will be \"just right.\" It may take a few months, but it will happen. So start thinking about a name for such a product. Could call it Scent of Eros (fem), or maybe \"First alert\" since it would send a signal to a man that the wearer was most likely receptive to his advances--and possibly even explain any proceptive behaviors she was exhibiting. I\'m fairly certain anyone who can come up with a better name, if there is a better one to be used, will somehow be rewarded. Will also consider adding adrenal hormone metabolites to the mix in an attempt to go one step further than the current research. I\'ll try to keep you informed of the progress via this Forum.

Interesting that he said Astrid's formula did not reek. In a conversation on pherotalk, when asked why he doesn't make a pure-cops formula in addition to his scented product SOE/w, his answer had to do with the lab challenges of manufacturing something that smelled so bad, and I'm sure he's said he uses Astrid's formula. ??? Not sure what to make of this apparent inconsistency.
ReplyDeleteCarrie, I think Kohl mentioned the lab challenges with regard to a more concentrated version of pure-cops, not at the level it is currently in SOE/w. Although he does seem reluctant to make a cops-only version at the same concentration as SOE even.
