HOY-Because I HAD to try it...

[Shannon]

Hi All, (9/30/2022)

Just finished another 5 day on, 1 day off cycle of the HOY. Listening on iPhone 6s with Ounne case at 6 clicks, 4 loops per night. (these were personal recommendations from Shannon).

I'm observing an interesting phenomenon. It seems that there are a couple of 'see-saws' going on.

Now that we're on the lower volume, I have seen better response re sexual response. Libido is still quite low, BUT it has increased since starting the 6 clicks protocol. This is progress. 

Also, testicles returned to appropriate size and have stayed that way. Yay! This is also progress.

At this stage though, I'm also suddenly experiencing a decrease in mental acuity and motivation (especially the latter) which had initially surged when listening at higher volumes.

Sooooo... the sexual stuff has improved but my ability to stay focused and work consistently without distractions is in the toilet. 

So, a question (or two?) for @Shannon:

1. Is it possible that the volume level emphasizes different aspects of the effects of the sub? This appears to be what I've observed so far.
   
2. Would it make sense to alternate volume, higher one night, lower the next? or a High-volume cycle followed by a low volume cycle?
   

If you'll remember we reduced the volume based on the idea that the volume needed to be lower to speak to the libido (for lack of a better word) part of my hormone/nervous system. Since doing that my motivation has gone downhill. So, do we keep it here and wait for changes to catch up (so to speak) or do we tweak?

The distraction/motivation/focus thing is killing me right now. I'm reaching for the nootropics to see what they can do, but so far not much effect (unlike before when I was on TRT), so it may be hormonally related...

Cheers!

I do not agree with your logic in the conclusions you reach.  The volume affects what level of the subconscious awareness is being primarily targeted and influenced.  Seeing this result makes me think that you do indeed have some part of you that is not happy to be cooperating.  Currently, I am hard at work on a program and I cannot model any adjustments, so I'll have to ask you to remind me to do that when I finish building Beeg Wang v2 and Theek Wang 5.9G. 

Alternating the volume is a possible solution, but it would require modeling.  However, if nootropics are having very little effect, that suggests that either their effect wasn't caused by the nootropic itself to begin with, or their effects are being resisted in order to get you to change something, or they are highly dependent on hormone levels to work... none of which would make me think they had much value in and of themselves, at least in your case.
