How Male Enhancement Patches Work

Suddenly, pharmaceutical patches are everywhere for every ailment: nonsmoking drugs, anti-depressants, birth control, and hundreds of prescription drugs are now coming out in patch form. It's fast becoming the preferred method of taking medicines, because there's no dilution of potency, no nausea or side effects to the digestive system, continuous time-released delivery and more accurate blood levels of the desired ingredients. It's also very easy to use and has a long shelf life.

It's no surprise, then, that this popular method of administering pharmaceuticals has also come to the all-natural male enhancement sector. Once only available in oral tablets or capsules, male enhancement benefits are now in the patch, making it super effective and more convenient than ever.

Thousands of men have already used the patch to address these concerns: Natural penis enhancement, harder, longer-lasting erections when aroused, better ejaculation control, consistently stronger sex drive, and greater orgasm intensity.

Patch products for male enhancement benefit from years of research and the latest up-to-the-minute know-how on transdermal pharmaceutical delivery. The patches release their active ingredients directly through the skin into the bloodstream in a sustained, gradual way over several hours. Because the ingredients don’t have to travel through the stomach, potency is much more predictable and efficient. Unlike pills, which often have to be taken at frequent intervals, the patch is a simple one-time application for full strength throughout the day.

The patch maintains consistent, non-fluctuating levels of active ingredients in the bloodstream - so there are no sudden dips or crashes.

For male enhancement, quality patches are difficult to come by. The companies that have a good track record of customer ordering, customer results and involvement by medical professionals are obviously the ones to choose. The surveys we conducted showed that the MaxiDerm™ product gave the greatest results, and Albion Medical, the company that produces it, has a long history of satisfied customers.

The ingredients for patch products may include:

Ginseng
Traditionally used to overcome general weakness and deliver extra energy. It also has aphrodisiac powers. Used to combat non-medically caused impotence, and premature ejaculation, ginseng helps normalize blood pressure while rejuvenating and revitalizing the body. It also promotes the growth of nerve tissue. A key component of ginseng is ginsenoside, which alters blood flow to the brain and penis and can build blood and sperm. Russian scientists have reported and recorded that ginseng stimulates both physical and mental activity, enhances athletic performance and has a positive effect on the sex glands.
Fo-Ti
Known as ho shou wu in China, is widely used as a rejuvenating tonic for longevity and to prevent premature aging and gray hair. It is a plant native to China and is grown extensively in Japan and Taiwan. It is said to help maintain energy, strength and vigor. Fo-ti may be protective against cancer and heart disease. It has been used to improve the memory and for mental depression. Scientific literature reveals that fo-ti additionaly has anti-cancer properties, a sedative effect and beneficial effects on fertility.
Gotu Kola
A nerve tonic to promote relaxation, with a calming effect on body. It improves circulation by strengthening veins and capillaries, reduces pain and swelling, eliminates excess fluids.
Saw Palmetto Berry
Beneficial for the reproductive organs of both sexes. It works as an aphrodisiac and tonic, and is used to ease swelling of the prostate and excessive urination. Good for overall male reproductive system.
Damiana
A sexual stimulant that enhances sexual performance. It works as a tonic to improve overall body function, helps relieve anxiety and promotes a feeling of well-being.
Yohimbe
An aphrodisiac that also dilates the blood vessels and brings the blood closer to the surface of the sex organs. It lowers blood pressure and increases the reflex excitability of the lower region.

These are just some of the ingredients you might find in a penis enhancement patch. Other things to look for in a good patch are that it is manufactured in a certified lab and that the company offers a money-back guarantee.

Considering the costs of prescription drugs and the immeasurable benefits to a man's confidence, the patch is a great alternative for many men. Remember to shop carefully, and if you can’t find a product on your own, we recommend MaxiDerm™.

How Pheromone colognes work to get you noticed

All the old jokes about being able to "bottle" sex appeal turn out to have a basis in reality. Recently scientists discovered how to isolate and concentrate the chemical-hormonal substances -- called pheromones -- that create sexual attraction in humans. It's now possible to wear pheromones and put out their invisible sexy signals at will.

The effect of pheromones has been very well studied. They cause an instinctual, almost automatic sexual response, which scientists call a "releaser" effect. Each person has a unique "odor print" that's just as individual as fingerprints, created by compounds released from the sebaceous glands, sweat glands and other glands. Among the chemicals and compounds released are pheromones, which drift into our companion's nasal passage and stimulate specialized receptors. Scientists are still studying the receptors to determine whether the "vomeronasal organ" is devoted to exclusively to sensing pheromones, or whether pheromone receptors are part of a more complex system along with olfactory receptors in the nasal passage.

The two compounds that are most widely recognized as pheromones are androstadienone (AND) and estratetraenol (EST). AND is a derivative of testosterone and EST is a relative of estrogen. Scientists have shown that the chemicals change brain patterns as detected by EEGs, functional MRIs, and PET scans, and induce mood changes. That evidence is consistent with what pheromones would do.

Synthesized versions of these compounds can be even more potent and effective than one's natural "odor print" mainly because Americans do so much to obliterate any trace of natural odor and sweat. In today's society, our showering, deodorizing, cologne-applying and almost sterile approach to cleanliness keep our natural pheromones from doing their job.

That's why the idea of concentrated pheromones makes so much sense. The trick is finding a good source of genuine pheromones, not just diluted or even fake preparations making claims. There are a few good products out there that actually are what they say and have an excellent reputation for creating more arousal, more interest, more attraction and more willingness in the opposite sex. One we recommend is Nexus Pheromones™, made from 100% genuine human pheromone. If you're shopping around, insist on a money-back guarantee and note whether the product is pure concentrate vs. a cologne or alcohol preparation that simply contains some tiny proportion of hormone.

Then take your newly anointed self on a test drive and notice what reactions you get and how you feel. Remember, the greatest aphrodisiac on earth is confidence -- so using a little pheromone to boost it is an excellent way to go.

Left without an Erection?

VigRX™ solves erectile problems without side effects!

Since its introduction in 1999, Viagra has made a powerful name for itself in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). It was so successful that competition has now moved in, in the form of two new drugs named Cialis and Levitra. More and more men are moving towards addressing and treating a problem that has plagued them for many centuries – soft and short-lived erections.

But although Viagra and its cousins have proven effective for millions of men, some find the side effects a hassle to deal with. Side effects often include headaches, flushing (of the face), and indigestion. Even more srious, if Viagra is taken with drugs like nitroglycerine it may cause sudden and potentially deadly drops in blood pressure!

Drugs are not for everyone,

side-effects are a very real possibility.

Many men find the side effects enough of a deterrent that they go in search of another solution. That’s why so many men are turning to natural supplements like VigRX™, which is possibly the most popular. Many men find it gives them similar results, minus the high price tag and nasty side effects!

VigRX™ can solve ED,

and has no negative side effects!

Medical proof – herbs actually work!

Many pharmaceuticals were developed using traditional herbal medicines as a starting point. Modern drug research has often started with ancient lore about a given plant or extract, known to native peoples for having a given medical effect. They isolate a basic compound or active ingredient, and then prepare it for sale on the market.

Most native cultures have botanical cures for sexual improvement and erection issues. While some were simply placebos that gave imaginary results, many others were physiologically valid, and later became medically proven to have positive effects on the penis tissues. Medical proof continues to be added to the list every day.

The power of herbal supplements

Many of the herbs contained in VigRX™ directly affect the corpus cavernosa, otherwise known as the erectile bodies within the penis. Many of the ingredients in VigRX™ have undergone extensive clinical research that proves they can be effective for increasing penis performance, erection size, and in treating erectile problems.

For example:

While the exact actions of Muira Puama are not yet fully understood by science, its effectiveness as a solution to impotence has been clinically proven. A study conducted at the Institute of Sexology in Paris (supervised by Dr. Jaques Waynberg) showed that out of 262 men, over 50% reported significant improvement after using Muria Puama daily for two weeks. 62% of men who were suffering from lost libido had ‘a dramatic effect’.

A second study showed even stronger results! In a group of 100 men who complained of low libido, weak erections, or other sexual issues, between 55% and 70% of men who used Muira Puama reported significant increases in sexual performance and desire.

In the same study, a group of 26 men diagnosed with common sexual asthenia (sexual weakness), and the inability to produce an erection suitable to have sex, 90% of cases found treatment with Muira Puama to have a beneficial effect!

Other studies show that the herb Epimedium (commonly called ‘Horny Goat Weed’) helps sexual performance in several ways.

It functions as an adaptogen, increasing the level of various hormones including serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine when they fall below certain levels. This promotes higher energy levels and reduces the ‘stress hormones’ (cortisol) that depress sex drive and causing fatigue.

Epimedium also contains a number of flavonoids (plant compounds found in many green plants), one of which is known as icariin. Icariin can have a direct effect on erections. In medical terms, it is known as “a cGMP-specific PDE5 inhibitor”, which are main ingredients contained in prescription drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.

Other ingredients in VigRX™ include both Ginseng and Ginko, both of which have hundreds of clinical studies (many institutions in many various different countries) that show their effects on the human body, not the least of which are improved circulation to peripheral circulation (body extremities), and increased libido and sexual function.

With drugs like Viagra, the pharmaceutical companies must provide clinical proof that their products are safe, and therefore spend little or no attention on the natural alternatives. There is, however, a growing body of knowledge that proves that the natural alternatives are effective!

VigRX™ ingredients have sufficient medical backing (as well as centuries of historical proof) to qualify VigRX™ as a totally viable and effective natural alternative, especially if you desire to spend less and/or avoid the potential side effects of Viagra.

VigRX™ ingredients are PROVEN to help

increase libido and banish erection problems!

Don’t waste time waiting for the problem to get worse. VigRX™ is YOUR solution, so order today.

Erection Oil FAQs

What is in topical erection oils?

The formulations vary by manufacturer as to their exact ingredients. They may contain herbs, nutrients, amino acids and other natural ingredients. Look for a statement that attests to the product's purity and effectiveness, and also for information about the transdermal delivery of ingredients. Formulations without the correct considerations for transdermal delivery may not be as effective.

How do topical erection oils compare with Viagra?

Many of the effects are quite similar, however, topical erection oils come in transdermal form, and are applied to the genitals, so unlike Viagra, you don't ingest anything. One of the benefits of this is that topical oil works much faster -- within seconds -- because there's no waiting for a drug to work its way through the digestive system. Next, topical erection oils are all natural, based on time-tested botanicals and new transdermal technology. That means you can get the product without a prescription, there are no side effects. Erection oils are effective and far more affordable than prescription drugs.

Are topical erection oils condom-compatible?

This varies from product to product, as well as the type of condom you are using. Latex condoms should not be used with oil, so if this is a concern, look for formulas that do not contain petroleum jelly or mineral oil. Water based formulas, like VigRX Oil™, are best.

Will it leave a greasy or oily residue?

Again, check the specific ingredients of a product. Water-based formulas provide immediate absorption into the tissue of the penis without an oily or greasy feeling. Oil based formulas tend to leave greasy residue, so read the product information carefully.

Which topical erection oils are safe to use for oral sex?

Oils with no synthetic, chemical, petrochemical by-products, artificial colors and/or fragrances are safe to use. VigRX Oil™, the industry leader, has a natural base with the therapeutic ingredients to offer the safest, most effective product available to date. This varies from product to product, and the answer to this question is most often found in the FAQ section.

How do I apply it?

Whenever using any fluid or oil on sensitive areas of your body, it is best to test it out on a small scale first. If there are no problems on the test, try massaging the oil into the penis all over until an erection is achieved. When you first begin to use the product, we suggest masturbating with it before using it during sex to become more comfortable with the amount needed and the sensation it produces.

Can these oils complicate sexual disease?

Erection oils are not recommended for those with a Herpes Simplex Virus outbreak or any other open sores or skin lesions in the genital area. Check with your doctor for appropriate practice if you have any sexual health concerns.

How is this different from an oral tablet?

The effects are similar, however, topical oils are meant to give an immediate response that lasts throughout your sexual session. Pills tend to be more long-term and overall-sexual-health focused, giving ongoing benefits all the time. Oils are scientifically designed to penetrate the deepest layers of the penile tissue instantaneously giving noticeable results within 90 seconds. With an oil, 95% of the therapeutic ingredients are absorbed, compared to approximately 5-10% with a herbal capsule or tablet. The products can be used concurrently; however, we feel its best to use oil and a tablet from the same manufacturer that were designed to work together. VigRX™ pills and VigRX Oil™ are a good example -- these are produced by a reputable company and can be used together safely and with excellent results.

Will this increase penile and sexual performance?

Yes, one is most likely to notice the benefit in the areas of strength and rigidity of the penis and also a reduction in the occurrence of premature ejaculation.

Will this oil increase the size of my penis?

Because oils will allow for greater blood flow to the penis, you may notice your erection feels more powerful and seems larger in circumference and strength. Although your penis will not grow in size from the product, it will reach its full size capacity.

How much does it cost?

Topical erection oils are much less expensive than prescription drugs. But because good, effective oils contain pure natural ingredients, they do cost more than a simple lubricant. Overall, they're surprisingly inexpensive for all you get. Prices range from $40 to $150 a bottle. Most companies offer a discount if you purchase in larger quantities. VigRX Oil™ is one of the most recommended products, and it costs $49.95 USD a bottle.

What type of guarantee do I get?

We'd recommend that you never buy from a company that does NOT offer a full money-back guarantee. Before you order, you should feel that if you don't see a substantial increase in the hardness of your erections, or better sexual performance, then you can return it for a refund, no questions asked. This is the VigRX Oil™ guarantee, and we think it should be the industry standard. Unfortunately, not everyone offers a guarantee as good as this.

Are there other ways to improve my sexual health?

Of course, the best way to improve any aspect of your health is to eliminate bad habits like smoking and excessive drinking, give yourself a better diet and exercise regularly. While you're working on healthier living overall, adding a male enhancement supplement can take you to an even better level of sexual performance and pleasure.

Some other products you may be interested in include: MaxiDerm™, Semenax™, VigRX™, and GenF20™.

FAQ: Women's libido-booster supplements

What's a "women's libido-booster" and why would I want one?

In recent years, most of the focus has been on men's sexual performance and pleasure. Now, there are products to help the woman achieve a stronger sex drive, a healthy excitement and interest in sex, a more complete natural arousal, and better responses throughout the sexual arousal cycle including a more powerful climax.

If you or your partner has experienced diminished sex drive and lower levels of sexual response due to fatigue, hormonal changes, stress, aging, or inadequate diet -- or if there's simply a disparity between the woman's and the man's sex drive in your relationship -- women's libido-booster supplements can help.

How do natural supplements for the woman's libido work?

These supplements are typically blended herbal formulas with a number of natural ingredients that each address some aspect of the female sexual response cycle. For instance, some ingredients act on the circulatory system to increase blood flow to the genitals, while others directly enhance production and balance of hormones associated with sexual health. Other ingredients may be specifically chosen for their beneficial effects on the female reproductive system and ability to create overall relaxation or a sense of well being. Taken daily, these supplements are meant to increase sexual response time, boost libido, intensify sexual sensations and orgasm, and balance the hormonal system for proper reproductive functioning.

Can I expect instant results from these products?

If you choose a good-quality, top-notch product, you will notice some results right away, mostly in the form of immediately increased sensations. Most women find that responses improve progressively with daily use over a period of time. Of course, inferior products may have little or no effect, so choose your supplement with care from a respected company that's been in existence for a while -- one excellent choice is Provestra™ from Albion Medical, a company that has been devoted to sexual health for men and women for many years.

I have never had a strong sex drive and seem not to have much sensitivity in the genital area. Can a women's libido-booster product help?

It's difficult to say exactly what may be behind your lack of interest in sex and lack of sexual response. You may wish to consult your practitioner if you want to understand the underlying causes. For most women who describe themselves as you do, however, natural supplements are very helpful. Women can experience the benefits of a healthy sex drive and proper sexual functioning with the correct, quality formula.

Are there any side effects?

If you choose a pure, natural product manufactured in a cGMP pharmaceutical facility (such as Provestra™ by Albion Medical), you can be assured of receiving a completely safe, herbal supplement that will not interfere with other medications or disrupt birth control. There are no side effects. However, because the herbal ingredients have effects on the entire sexual system, some women notice a slight increase in breast size. Also, you are advised to beware of products whose origin or ingredients are uncertain.

I know the cost of men's products like Viagra and Cialis and really high. Are these women's products prohibitively expensive, too?

The truth is, some are ridiculously costly and some are suspiciously cheap. The rule of thumb here is that you get what you pay for -- and for a good quality, clinically backed women's supplement, you can expect to pay about $50 for a month's supply, with reputable companies offering a discount for larger orders. So no, it's not prohibitively expensive when you consider that a good supplement contains top-quality ingredients which are more costly (and are more effective!) than cheaper substitutions. When you find out how fantastic this is for your sex life, you will likely feel that the cost is worth every penny.

Is it safe to take a product like this if I'm trying to get pregnant?

Again, you should choose an excellent quality supplement in any case, but especially if you are contemplating pregnancy. Look for assertions of safety from the manufacturer, and when in doubt, consult your doctor or midwife. In the case of Provestra™, it's been known to increase fertility. Once you confirm your pregnancy, you should always check with your practitioner regarding any supplements or medications you are taking -- even vitamins.

Should I tell my partner I am using a product like this?

We're all in favor of open communication -- and for some couples the fun of experimenting with a new sexual enhancer is a definite turn-on! For some women, though, having a little secret is an aphrodisiac all its own, not to mention a good gauge of how well your secret potion is working: if you and he are very happy with the more sexual you, there's your answer! Later if you want to cop to your secret, it may open him up to the whole category of natural supplements for men.[[ could link to vigrx ]]

Pheromones

You've probably heard something about pheromones on the National Geographic Channel, The Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, Animal Planet, or even TV newsmagazine shows. They're hormones that animals (including humans) produce and emit. Pheromones have no consciously perceptible smell, yet trigger a powerful, primal sexual response deep within the brain of those who come into contact with them.

Once subconsciously detected in the brains, pheromones telegraph information about your immune system, your fertility, your current level of arousal, and more. Some of these pheromones target the opposite sex, and naturally trigger arousal and attraction. With the right set of pheromone signals, a human female will automatically, instinctively respond. Often without even realizing why.

There are many pheromone types in the animal kingdom, yet Pheroline focuses on 3 specific types of pheromones which are classified as sexual human pheromones

Pheromones fit into a category of chemical sensing that is very similar to the way we smell, called olfaction. However, it is believed that pheromones are detected and processed by an accessory olfactory system. In mammals, this is the Vomeronasal System. This consists of vomeronasal pits located in the nose, at the bottom of which sits the Vomeronasal Organ (VNO), where specialized cells for detecting pheromones are situated. From here, signals are sent by neurons (nerves) to the VNO bulbs, which is the part of the brain responsible for processing the information is relayed by the pheromones and incites a response. Most pheromone signals will end up at the hypothalamus. Interestingly, the epithelium of sensory cells in the nose is sometimes referred to as an extension of the brain because of their location and the way the signals are processed.

The Pheromones Story

For over 200 years, scientific and medical researchers had suspected that airborne chemical compounds played some role in the attraction and mating rituals of insects and animals. A Danish physician named Jacobson even detected likely organs for this purpose in the human nose, but he assumed that evolution had rendered them non-functional.

The first pheromone ever conclusively identified (in 1956) was an extremely potent sexual attractant for silkworm moths. It took German researchers extracting glands from the abdomens of 500,000 female moths over a 20-year period to isolate this compound, called bombykol. It signaled, "come to me!" from great distances. "It has been soberly calculated that if a single female moth were to release all the bombykol in her sac in a single spray, all at once, she could theoretically attract a trillion males in the instant," wrote Lewis Thomas in The Lives of a Cell.

Isolating pheromones in mammals (which includes you and me) proved to be a much more complex challenge.

But by the late 1970s, animal pheromones had become well enough understood to market commercially as a lure to attract and divert animals into traps before they could damage crops or flowers. Finally, in 1986, sufficient research had been done on the subject of human pheromones for peer-reviewed articles to be published in respected scientific journals.

It was around this time that the mass media caught wind of human pheromones. Stories began appearing in publications like Time, Newsweek, US News & World Report, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, as well as nearly every network TV newsmagazine show.

The human male pheromone, androstenone, was first scientifically isolated in an extremely un-sexy substance: sweat. So the irony is that showering washes our natural pheromone away. Deodorants cover it up-also not good.

Clinical research studies conducted by scientists have shown that human male pheromones trigger a subconscious, biological sexual response in women. Pheromones are odorless and consciously undetectable to the human nose, but since women have a better sense of smell, they pick up male human pheromones right away (without really being aware of why) and become instantly sexually attracted to the owner of these pheromones. Male human pheromones open the door of attraction and sex with virtually any woman. They won't know you're wearing them, but subconsciously, these pheromones will communicate you are sexually attractive and stimulate lustful desires in women.

Ever meet someone and instantly feel some incredible chemistry? It doesn't happen every day, but when it does, your're experiencing pheromones at work. Send out that chemical message of lust to females and they will crave you, desire you, and want to get to know you better. Your eye contact with woman will improve dramatically. Women will even gather around your vicinity without being aware of why. Watch the difference. Pheromones they really work.

Human Growth Hormone FAQs

What is HGH?

HGH stands for Human Growth Hormone. Human Growth Hormone is the naturally occurring substance from the human pituitary gland that plays a key role in young, active function of body, brain and sex organs.

Levels of Human Growth Hormone decrease as we age. By middle age and beyond, HGH levels have plummeted to a tiny fraction of their youthful levels -- and science shows that there is a direct correlation between lost HGH and the typical signs of aging, such as weight gain, loss of interest in sex, sagging skin and muscles, wrinkled skin that lacks good tone and texture, flagging memory.

HGH supplementation has been shown to:

Decrease fat, while increasing lean muscle
Improve the look and feel of your skin
Increase bone density, and even reverse osteoporosis
Power up the brain, and maintain memory even during aging
Boost the sex drive
Tone and improve overall physical and mental well being
Contribute to better sleep
Improve mood, and banish depression and fatigue

How do I know HGH releaser products are safe?

Choose carefully to get the highest quality products from the options in this genuinely beneficial category. Go with a product from a company that has a good reputation, such as GenF20™ HGH -- this one attests to its safety and reliability. There are neither side effects nor known drug interactions with GenF20™ HGH. This product is manufactured in GMP certified laboratories, that is, pharmaceutical quality labs of the highest standards. These are the kinds of safety checks to look for. Ask your doctor if you have specific concerns.

Some claims I've seen say you must have HGH by injection for it to work. If that's true, how can tablets be effective?

Originally, HGH products were only available in very expensive injections of HGH derived from donors' pituitary glands post mortem. The HGH molecule, it was discovered, could not absorb into the bloodstream by other methods because it is too large to pass through the walls of the digestive system. However, new techniques have created the tablet supplement that uses a formula to trigger and stimulate the pituitary gland to produce and secrete more HGH itself. The HGH goes into your body just as nature intended, in other words, through the glandular system -- just as it did when you were in your 20s!

What side effects are there?

There are no known side effects with HGH releasers. Many studies have been conducted in all age groups, and no ill effects whatsoever have been reported. Just make sure the product you purchase is produced in a GMP certified laboratory.

How long can I take HGH?

Initially, it's recommended that you take the product for about 6 months to bring your body's HGH production levels up. At this time, you may wish to take a "pause" of up to 1 year, while you continue to enjoy the benefits of increased HGH. Your body's new HGH production levels won't drop dramatically during this time. Then you can repeat the process to enhance HGH production in the long term. If you are having trouble finding a product that outlines these specifications, we recommend GenF20™ as a product you can’t go wrong with.

How quickly do HGH releasers work? How fast will I look and feel better?

You should plan to stay on the HGH supplement for at least 3 months when you begin your program. Results vary depending on your existing level of HGH when you begin, so for instance, people who have very low levels of HGH have more immediate results. Most people, regardless of current HGH level, report feeling better, sleeping better and having more energy right away, with improvement in appearance and muscle tone and other benefits generally becoming more pronounced over the first couple months.

Is HGH just for older adults?

Because the lowest levels of HGH are found in older populations, they'll experience results most quickly. However, because HGH effects so many systems and organs, it has benefits for adults of any age.

I heard HGH was a very expensive treatment to obtain. Why are HGH tablets so affordable?

Advances in the engineering of amino acids that comprise this product mean the costs are only a small fraction of what HGH injections would cost. Originally, HGH injections could run as much as $15,000! Now you can obtain quality HGH supplementation affordably thanks to new scientific breakthroughs in understanding HGH and manufacturing effective releasers of HGH. We recommend GenF20™ HGH as the best value around.

Is it possible to take too much of this product?

As with all supplements or drugs, you should stay within the guidelines established for you by the research community and pharmaceutical manufacturer. Follow the instructions as they appear on the label or product insert, as increasing the dosage usually results in product wastage.

Ejaculation and Male Potency

Since the beginning of time, it seems humans have been fixated on the beauty and power of the penis. A symbol of manhood, strength, dominance and success, the penis and all its workings have prominently figured in the art and imagination of cultures worldwide. Yet all the attention given to penis size, erection capability and lasting power are really pretty much an adjunct to the real moment of truth: the orgasm. After all, isn't that the real goal of all the penis-centered concern, to have bigger and more potent climaxes?

That may explain why the spotlight has focused more recently on ejaculation. Men are considering not only the intensity or strength of orgasms, but how their volume of ejaculate affects many aspects of their sexual identity and enjoyment.

Overview of ejaculation

To get a sense of the vital role of a healthy, abundant volume of ejaculate in male pleasure, let's take a look at how male climax works.

First, semen collects in the ejaculatory ducts during sexual stimulation. Male orgasm happens at the peak of sexual pleasure, when the various muscle groups contract simultaneously: rhythmic contractions of the pubococcygeus muscle (pc muscle) occur along with contractions of the anal sphincter, rectum and perineum, and the ejaculatory ducts and muscles around the penis. The contracting muscles are the key to delivering the load of semen. The first few contractions are intense and close together, occurring at about 0.8-second intervals. As orgasm continues, the contractions diminish in intensity and duration and occur at less frequent intervals.

The exact amount of ejaculate is determined by a number of factors, including heredity, diet, overall health, frequency of sexual activity and age. The content, however, is about the same for all men: the ejaculate contains sperm and a long list of components that read like a vitamin pill label: ascorbic acid (vitamin C), calcium, chlorine, cholesterol, choline, citric acid, creatine, fructose, glutathione, hyaluronidase, inositol, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, purine, pyrimidine, pyruvic acid, sodium, sorbitol, vitamin B12, and zinc. Each of these ingredients, though, represents just a tiny amount -- and the total measure of a typical "load" is somewhere between 1.5 ml and 5 ml. The majority of the ejaculate volume is fluid from the prostate and the seminal vesicles.

The taste of semen varies greatly from one man to another, again affected by diet and overall physical health. The range goes from salty to sweet, may be bitter or mellow, and sometimes creates a very mild "numbing" effect to the lips and tongue of the taster. The taste can be deliberately changed, according to a number of online and physician's sources.

Healthy ejaculate will appear either translucently whitish or greyish to opaque white. Men who've had a vasectomy will have lighter, more translucent semen, devoid of the typical 15 to 20 million sperm of a usual ejaculation. Though a variety of textures and appearances are within the healthy range, most people equate very white, dense and more voluminous ejaculate with a healthier and more potent male.

Influences on ejaculation volume

When should a man be concerned about his volume and potency? Sometimes a dramatic decrease in ejaculate volume may indicate blockage of one of the ejaculatory ducts. Duct obstruction is diagnosed by prostate ultrasound. Other possible causes of decreased volume include retrograde ejaculation or a long-term infection of the prostate (chronic prostatitis). Decreased semen volume may simply be a normal part of aging and may not necessarily result in decreased fertility.

If there is concern about the amount, appearance and texture of the ejaculate, it may be advisable to consider semen testing by a qualified physician. The standard semen analysis measures semen volume and pH, microscopically analyses for debris and agglutination, assesses sperm concentration and morphology, counts sperm leukoctyes and identifies immature germ cells. Usually this is carried out after two to seven days of sexual abstinence, on a semen sample collected at the doctor's office. The physician will probably also wish to conduct tests to rule out urinary infection, gonorrhea and chlamydia.

In many cases, the semen analysis yields results that are technically within the "normal" range, yet men may still feel dissatisfied with the contracting power of orgasms, the volume and appearance of their ejaculate, and their fertility. For them, and for men who simply wish to experience the added confidence and pleasure of higher semen volume, there is an excellent natural preparation known as Semenax™ (www.Semenax.com) which holistically addresses the problem.

Semenax™ has been shown to increase the volume of ejaculate by as much as 500 percent, and improves quality of sperm, motility of sperm, overall sperm count, and efficiency of semen and sperm production.

Benefits of increasing volume

The advantages of orgasming with greater volume and power are numerous. By increasing both volume of fluid and quantity/health of sperm, the load is not only bigger, more impressive and more pleasurable, but much more potent, too.

The larger the volume of fluid and sperm that's available for each orgasm, the more contractions it takes to shoot all of it -- and each contraction is stronger and more intense. The male orgasm, typically quite a brief event, can become a much longer-lasting experience.

Potency and fertility are of concern to all men, but particularly those with an immediate desire to impregnate their mate. Infertility is increasingly common, and a product like Semenax™ is a good help in this area.

Finally, there are significant benefits to a man's confidence when he is able to increase ejaculate volume and power. Sexual confidence is tied not only to success in romantic endeavours, but to many other kinds of success as well; studies show confidence in sexual identity carries over into every aspect of a man's life.

How volume-boosting products work

Volume increasers vary a great deal in formulation, cost and manufacture methods. Here we'll look at a very popular and proven choice, Semenax™, to demonstrate how it works.

Semenax™ was developed by a group of health professionals to improve every aspect of sexual function and enjoyment for men. The focus is on volume boosting, because of its many related benefits. Formulated of natural ingredients with centuries of anecdotal proof in many cultures worldwide, the Semenax™ product contains botanicals and natural ingredients to tonify and support the ejaculatory ducts, epididymis, testes, prostate gland, seminal vesicles and vas deferens -- that is, every part of the male reproductive system.

Semenax™ is manufactured in a cGMP Certified Pharmaceutical facility (something to look for when shopping for volume products), and its ingredients include the amino acids L-arginine HCL, L-carnitine and L-lysine to increase testosterone and sperm count and motility; herbals epimedium sagittatum, catuaba bark and South American maca to boost libido and potency; and nutritionals to aid testosterone synthesis and prostate health.

When shopping for a volume boosting product, check for manufacture in a cGMP Certified Pharmaceutical facility, statements attesting to testing and research, and laboratory-controlled dosing.

Sexual Enhancement Cream for Women FAQs

How do sexual enhancement creams for women work?

The cream is applied to the woman's genital area, specifically the underside of the clitoral hood, allowing the active ingredients to directly stimulate the tissue surface.

Once applied, the cream improves blood flow and dilation of the blood vessels around the clitoris, greatly enhancing sensitivity and arousal. Although response time varies with each individual woman and with the specific product chosen, the effects tend to develop more rapidly with sexual stimulation through touching, rubbing, and licking in the clitoral area.

Are the effects noticeable immediately?

Yes, most products, especially Vigorelle™, immediately increase sensations. Not only does the product work right away, but with continued use, a woman’s responses should become even more intense.

I used to have a strong sex drive and much more sensitivity, but over the years this has diminished. What's going on? Would a women's enhancement cream help?

Women naturally undergo many hormonal, physical and even attitudinal changes during their lifetimes that can affect sexual response. Good overall healthy living and a concerted effort to reduce stress can be helpful, but adding enhancement creams to the sexual routine will provide a significant impact to any woman. Users of the Vigorelle™ brand of female enhancement cream report excellent restoration of youthful sexual intensity, and experiences that are new and exceptionally conducive to orgasm.

Are there any side effects with these products?

With high-quality products, the answer is no. You should check to see that the cream you're choosing is 100% all natural with no propylene glycol or methyl paraben substances. Quality creams are safe and natural, and work through direct application to the skin. Since they are not pills or powders that must be ingested, there's no incidence of gastrointestinal upset. On the other hand, it is always wise to sample products like this with a small dosage before using it on a larger scale. If no irritations develop during the test, you should be good to use the product as directed.

How do I know which product to try?

You can investigate the ingredients and the method of manufacture (look for safe, certified pharmaceutical-grade facilities). Also, you should go with a reputable company that's been around a while and has a large number of satisfied customers. Our testing showed Vigorelle™ to be the best product in this category, though product choice is essentially yours.

Are female sexual enhancement creams expensive?

Prices vary by manufacturer. However, it's good to keep in mind that you get what you pay for -- and in this category of products, we'd advise shopping by criteria other than price alone. Companies that use only top-quality essential active ingredients obviously cost more to make, consequently have to charge more for their products.

How can I obtain these products and maintain my privacy?

How about a guarantee?

You should insist on a guarantee, and make sure to read the fine print. Although all reputable companies offer them, not all companies that have them are reputable… Take extra time to read how the guarantee works, some products require a one year supply to be eligible for a refund, so shop carefully! If you have trouble finding a product you trust on your own, we recommend Vigorelle™, as it features a straight forward guarantee that you can have confidence in.

How to tell your partner about Penis Enlargement

Penis enlargement may be a tough choice to make for some men, while others can decide in the blink of an eye if they are ready to give it a try or not. However, informing your significant other of this decision is not that simple. There is always the chance that she may not understand or appreciate your choice. So, is it better to come clean or stay mum on this one?

Some burdens are not meant to be carried alone. Being married or engaged in a long-term relationship shows that you are not a solitary individual, but one who needs and welcomes company. It’s only fair that you should open your heart and share this with your loved one. If you wish, you can use this as a test of your partner’s love, open-mindedness and desire to make you happy. However, you should be very careful when discussing this issue. What you want is to help your loved one pass this test by accepting and respecting your go at Penis enlargement.

A successful approach means that you can take
pills, wear a traction device or perform penis enlargement exercises without having to wait for your significant other to leave the house. It means you don’t have to come up with more excuses for staying in the bathroom fifteen minutes. It’s the end of all the lying and hiding that hurts the trust and respect which are the foundation of any consensual relationship. On the other hand, discussing penis enlargement might prove unfortunate for some people. If your significant other is too embarrassed or cannot accept this, then you have a big problem on your hands. Some people may not be open-minded enough to understand you are doing this for your own good.

Your best bet is to make a plan beforehand in order to make sure that you have a sensible response to whatever questions might arise. You need to sound convinced about penis enlargement and you should make your partner understand that you’ve thought everything through and concluded that penis enlargement is your best option. A good place to start is the widespread use of body modifications in today’s society. If women can have their breast enhanced and wrinkles erased, why should men abstain from enlarging their own penises?

Make sure your partner understands that you aren’t going to force any choices upon her and that you are going to do your best not to put yourself and her in any awkward situations. This should put her fears to rest and help ease the tension. If your partner cares about your well-being and happiness then it likely that she will put up with
penis enlargement. Maybe even help you by giving a second opinion on enlargement equipment or substances used in pills. A different take on things might prove helpful.

Still, informing your partner is not mandatory. The final decision rests with nobody else but you and if you wish to surprise your significant other or think that the whole thing should be kept under wraps, then so be it. I simply recommend that you open your heart to your lover and give her the chance to help you and support you through
penis enlargement.

General advice on
Penis Enlargement

And men have struggled to find a solution for this, just like in the case of any other problem. A small penis size does not have to be a problem for long because there is something men can do to change the situation. Penis enlargement is not exactly a new thing. In one form or another, it has been around for centuries wherever men felt the need to enlarge their penises. Today, thousands of men resort to penis enlargement products or services, especially since modern science has done a good job proving and disproving some of the techniques, as well as allowing for a more systematic approach.

However, any man just starting out wants to know a few things. Although the theory is pretty simple, one can’t just going into the bathroom to exercise or strap a traction device on in the middle of the living room. There are a hundred questions any newbie would like to ask the veterans about how penis enlargement works, what accessories are needed and how long should enlargement sessions be. These are all details, but very important details. These are little problems almost everybody faces on day one of the penis enlargement program.

The first advice any veteran will give to a new comer is to have patience. Of course, nobody likes to be patient and to be told that results won’t show for a couple of weeks. It’s hard to stay motivated when days go by and you have nothing to show for your efforts. Still, persistence pays off and those who have the strength to carry on with the program will find that results do come in time. Keep in mind that tissue needs time to grow and that many people experience growth spurts and plateaus and that you just need to be patient.

Plateaus happen every now and then to almost every man who’s engaged in penis enlargement. Those who are trying to enhance their penis through exercises should simply change their routines. If an exercise doesn’t seem to bring gains anymore, replace it with another exercise. There is no set program; every user is free to come up with his own routine and to experiment with exercises until he finds what’s best for himself.

Some beginners are impatient and think that having more than one penis enlargement session per day would help gains happen faster. However, more than one penis enlargement session per day will simply exhaust the tissues without rushing things up. In this case, it’s the intensity and regularity that counts because doing a routine more than once per day is not as good as doing it once, but very intense. The tissues need time to recover and grow in size, just like muscles need time after a gym session. Overtraining is never recommended.
.

This category of questions also includes the dilemma of whether longer stretching is better than more repetitions. Frankly, this is mostly a question of whatever works for individuals and not a general rule that can be applied to everyone. Experiment with longer stretching and more reps and see what’s best for you. If more reps do the trick, then go for more reps.

Another problem faced by beginners and old timers alike is the fact that pubic hair gets in the way of both exercises and the use of traction devices. There’s always the fear of inadvertently pulling hair and some men feel they can’t get a good grip on the base of the shaft because of the hair. Well, penis enlargement requires certain sacrifices from users and my advice is to clip the hair short or to shave it altogether. No sense in struggling through a session because of the hair.

And it’s not only hair that gets in the way. The penis is not a precision tool that can be set to achieve partial erections on demand, which is why men sometimes find themselves fully erect and unable to perform exercises that require only a partial erection. The only way of dealing with this is to focus on something else (read a magazine that does not contain porn or a book, watch TV, think about financial problems) and to wait for the erection to subside.

A big mistake that many inexperienced users make is to measure their penises too often. Frequent measuring is unlikely to show big gains and can undermine the motivation of a man engaged in penis enlargement. Since results do come in time, men should not measure their penis more than once every four or five weeks. This may seem to be a long time to wait for results, but less than four weeks is not enough time for tissues to increase in size in a visible manner.

One of the controversial issues that had the penis enlargement
community arguing is the issue of ejaculation after workout sessions. Some penis enlargement aficionados have argued that testosterone levels drop sharply after ejaculation, which may hurt gains, while others have said that ejaculation is the hallmark of a healthy sex life, which is, after all, the purpose of penis enlargement. At present, there is no certain way of telling whether ejaculation has a big impact on gains or not.

This issue goes hand in hand with the question of having sex immediately after a workout. It is generally advisable to let at least an hour pass between the end of your workout and sex in order to allow the penis tissues to heal and rebuild before flooding them with blood again. Also, enlargement sessions exhaust the penis and it’s not a good idea to subject it to a second round of physically intensive activity in such a short period of time.

One question that crops up every now and then in the minds of curious newbies is whether drinking water increases penis size or not. The answer is: no, not exactly. If drinking water alone could increase the size of limbs, then one could also gain inches in height or girth at the end of a single day. Hydration helps clean the body as toxins and other substances that cannot be used are dumped into the kidneys and sent out through urine. A body free of toxins is a healthier body and is able to heal itself faster, but that’s about as far as it goes. Simply drinking water cannot increase your penis size.

PC flexes are a popular exercise among the
penis enlargement crowd and a very effective one, too. Newbies often wonder if flexes should be performed fast and furious or slow and cool. However, there is no big difference between the two approaches. Going slow will help build resistance to prolonged effort, while the fast approach will help the muscle get used to intense exertion. It all depends on what you’re looking for: short term intensity or stamina.

An interesting way of helping the flow of blood and the healing process in tissues is to use a device known as the Ring of Power. This ring causes a flow of electricity around the base of the penis and testicles in order to stimulate cellular activity, testosterone production and blood flow. If you’re planning to get one, keep in mind that such devices do not work in the same manner for everyone. Also keep in mind that your penis skin may not like the contact with zinc or copper. Some users have reported unpleasant rashes.

Prudence is actually a good rule of the thumb for every product that does not come with the endorsement of a professional doctor. Don’t rush in to try every new idea out there because you may regret it. Let others try new products and read what they have to say about them. If the new products sound too good to be true, they may actually be that way. Always be careful when it comes to your health. Stay safe!

Exercising – why you should take the trouble to do it

Exercising is a bore for many people. Although workout fans like to claim that others are simply too lazy or too spoiled by the modern sedentary lifestyle to exercise on a regular basis, this is not always the case. Some people have far too busy daily schedules to squeeze in another time and effort consuming activity. Not to mention that a significant number of people find the endless repetition of the same movements more than a little boring. Truth is exercising can only be considered fun by people who love such things, while other manage to focus their entire attention on results and ignore the boring routine. If you are unable to love or ignore the boring part, then you probably find exercising a burden.

Lose weight and Improve your Sexual Health

However, this attitude is not very good for your health. You may have a highly paid job that takes away all your waking hours and you may think that you can tank it until you’re in the forties and can afford to lay back and relax. But this nice scheme doesn’t always work out the way it’s supposed to. By the time you reach the forties you may not be in a position to lay back and relax and your health may not be in top shape precisely because of neglected exercising. Simple things like 30 minutes of jogging or aerobics per day can go a long way toward reaching old age with a sound heart and a better shape than most.

Lose weight and Improve your Life

I know that people are impressed by wealth, but money can’t buy your youthful health back, not to mention the fact that they are also useless when it comes to love. Or so other people say. If your busy lifestyle had brought you high blood pressure and high cholesterol, then money is not going to solve these problems. But just a little exercising everyday could make the difference in your old age. It should also keep you from acquiring a spare tire around your waist. More importantly, if you want that successful young exec look, then you simply have to stay in shape. You can’t afford to look soft and flabby.

Lose weight and Improve your Social Status

So it can be boring and time consuming and doesn’t always help you relax in any way, but it does help your body cope with pressure and it does help your endurance at all levels. Most of the members of the opposite sex will also find a fine shape more attractive that a fat wallet, especially if you’re looking for short-term relationships where long-term financial power is less relevant. So stop crowding your schedule with so many tasks every day and make room for a little exercising now and then.

The Female Orgasm

by Peter James

Something you might not know is that not all women experience orgasm at all, and even less during intercourse. For a variety of reasons, many women do not masturbate. The clitoris does not make its presence felt as does the penis, and upon reaching sexual maturity, the female body does not experience erections or wet dreams. A lot has been said about the female orgasm. One thing of which you can be certain is that a guy who knows a lot about getting his partners off is a guy who will have his sexual partners eagerly coming back for more. Things just work out this way so why not try to make both parts happy?

Women need more

Unlike most men, who find themselves excited when seeing an attractive nude female body, very few women are not triggered by seeing a nude male. And seeing a close-up of genitals is very unlikely to excite any woman. They're just different that way, both genetically and culturally. No doubt that is why men spend so much time at strip clubs, where strip shows for women are more of a novelty. This is also why there are not more nude male mags for women.

Women need mental stimulation to achieve orgasm - especially their first time. Every woman is different in what exactly turns them on, but a lot of women also require a feeling of connection with their partner.

Whether or not your partner has come before or not, it is usually not as easy for women to experience an orgasm. It takes an average of twenty minutes for a woman to reach orgasm, and interruption in her mood can completely derail this process. Sure, some girls can come in a few minutes, but they are not the norm.

A lot of people ask the question "who is responsible for the woman's orgasm?" Ultimately both partners are probably responsible. Let's face it - guys aren't built the same, and if women keep them guessing about what to do, it may not get done right.

On the other hand, a lot of men seem to feel that sticking their penis in their partner should be enough. The truth is that it very rarely is enough, and the men that believe this are usually guilty of willful ignorance.

Meet the clitoris

The primary trigger for most female orgasms is the clitoris, a small nub of flesh outside and just to the front of the vagina. In many intercourse positions, the clitoris is not touched in any way, making orgasm literally impossible for most women. For most women to come during intercourse, there must be some contact with the clitoris. In most cases, this can easily be achieved by the man's pubic bone.

Even easier, either the man or the woman can gently masturbate the woman by lightly rapidly rubbing her clitoris only after she is already excited. The main function of foreplay is to get the partners excited and to allow the female to lubricate. Many men who rush through foreplay because they are anxious to fuck miss part of the point - it takes a woman longer to become excited. If you routinely rush your partners through foreplay, they will not be excited, will very rarely if ever have orgasms with you, and will not look forward to more sex with you with a sense of anticipation.

For women who are uncomfortable with masturbation, a vibrator can be held on the clitoris. Also a stream of water from a bathtub or hot tub can be a great way for a woman to come.

The tongues have it
.
Most women's favorite sexual activity is not intercourse, it is cunnilingus - pussy eating. The softer, smooth surface of the tongue is very well suited to the very sensitive clitoris. Where fingers can irritate, your tongue is a perfect tool to bring your partner to bliss and keep her there.

If you want your partners to come back for more, remember to slow down the foreplay so they're ready when you are, and make sure that they are satisfied as well as you are... And your partners will come back for more!

Andropause – Fact or Fiction

One of the biggest controversies gripping today’s medical world is the subject of andropause. Doctors are taking sides with one school of thought or another and furiously debate at conventions and in papers if this male version of the menopause exists, what symptoms should be taken into account during the diagnose process and what treatments are effective. There is no consensus at the moment and the search still goes on for an explanation that fits all the facts.

“The determinants of "aging" and of "life expectancy" extend from genetic and molecular determinants to the increasingly powerful forces of environmental, economical, technological and cultural globalization.” (Professor Bruno Lunenfeld, Bar-Ilan University, Israel)

Since the 1940s, the term andropause has been used to describe a condition that was considered to be similar to the female menopause. The blame for triggering this condition was laid on falling levels of the testosterone hormone from around the age of 45 onwards. Andropause was also considered to be the source of many problems faced by men past their prime, such as weight gain, heart disorders, mood swings, depression and plummeting libido.

“Our results show that testosterone has a key role in the central and peripheral modulation of erectile function [….] (Doctor Andrea Garolla, University of Padua, Italy)”

However, the condition is highly debated, with doctors doubting it even exists. The main hurdle in agreeing upon a definition of andropause is the fact that there is no clear physical symptom that could be used to diagnose the condition. While the end of menstruation is the classic tell-tale for menopause, men display no such universal symptom that could clue doctors to what’s going on. That’s why the medical world is still polarized between the two camps that argue back and forth over this issue.

Still, the medical controversy has not stopped men from looking for a way to stop or reverse the hormonal changes brought by andropause. Nathan Church, Product Manager with Lativio, says:

“Although, I am not a medical doctor, I know that increasingly men have bought our products as a result of a series of problems. These problems include loss of libido and reduced ability of on demand erections. I can only speak from my experience with our customers that their symptoms do point to a condition described as Andropause.”

As we can see from this quote, men are not going to sit idle until experts agree that there is a problem. The natural products market has a wide range of products aimed at bringing back some the youthful feeling to aging men. While taking the problem into one’s hands involves a certain amount of risk, it seems that many men are perfectly ready to take that risk, especially since the prize is the spark of life.
