Less about forcing a mood, it's more about following when it does hit, exponential bonus points if you're an exhibitionist.
Also, chemistry is huge, here. People work really weirdly in the head, so if, say, there's a positive feedback loop in the dynamic, it can be explosive.
Clicker training is also valid. Or really any kind of training, which is likely what "pheromones" really is: horny people get stupid, funky unique smells happen, now you've built a taste for it.
Like literally just read about any kink ever.
And, if you aren't feeling it, maybe try something or somebody different. Or maybe you're ace spectrum, that's totally valid, too.
Also, shame is a powerful thing. It causes people to do things and to not do things.
Basically, all people are weird, and that's okay.
Yeah over the years I've found tha people are different and of course there's nothing wrong in that. No ill will towards anyone on either end of the spectrum.
It's just always surprising to see someone with a complete opposite of my experiences as i tend to forget about it completely and only reminded of it by outside influence and even then it takes effort.
