products that work
The act of making love offers intimacy, sensuality,
pleasure, and gratification. It is also the means by which we create life.
Unfortunately, for literally millions of men and women, sex is disappointing. If
either you or your partner is one of those individuals who find sex more
frustrating than fun—and you are looking for a more natural way to solve the
problem—Natural Sex Boosters is the right book to consider reading.
Natural-Sex-Boosters book
not only discusses aphrodisiac supplements for a lagging sex life, but also
discusses supplements that can significantly enhance a normal sex life—for both
men and women. It is possible to experience heights of sexual passion and
enjoyment like you have never experienced or could imagine!
In recent years,
science has made incredible breakthroughs in the treatment of sexual
dysfunction. However, it has been found that the newly developed prescription
drugs do not work equally well for everyone, and that—as the printed warnings
make clear—they cannot be used without risk. Fortunately, there is an
alternative. For hundreds of years, civilizations around the world have used
numerous herbs and natural substances to achieve the same or even
greater results—and with far fewer side effects. Now, best-selling author and
physician Dr. Ray Sahelian has written an easy-to-follow guide to dozens of
powerful sex boosters that increase stamina, sensation, and libido for both men
and women.
In Natural Sex Boosters, Dr.
Sahelian provides a clearly organized A-to-Z discussion of each natural substance,
explaining what it is, what it does, the latest research, his personal
experiences and reports from patients, how it is taken, the proper dosages, and presenting the
scientific data behind the claims. As an expert on natural sex boosters, he is
frequently interviewed by reporters. Read his latest interview by the
Palm
Beach Post.
It is truly amazing that in this day and age, most people—including most
doctors—are not aware of the many supplements that can naturally boost the
sexual experience. Natural Sex Boosters provides new solutions to some
very old problems.
Natural Sex Boosters
for Women
Female sexual dysfunction is a common medical condition that can have a major
impact on self-esteem, quality of life, mood, and relationships. While there are
religious, sociological, and emotional elements to female sexual function and
response, impairment can also occur due to medical problems. Female sexual
dysfunction is often categorized into three major areas: lack of desire;
problems with lubrication and sensation; and difficulty having an orgasm.
Declining sexual desire often
troubles women as they get older, and is partly due to the body’s decreasing
levels of testosterone and other hormones. Testosterone powers the sex drive in
both men and women. Stress or depression can also lead to low libido. Vaginal
dryness can develop when estrogen levels drop as menopause approaches.
Many of the natural sex boosters
discussed in this book work extremely well in women to enhance libido, arousal,
lubrication, and sensation.
Natural Sex Boosters
for Men
In men, sexual dysfunction primarily takes the form of a decline in libido, and
impotence. The 1992 National Institutes of Health Conference on Impotence
suggested “erectile dysfunction” (ED) as a more appropriate term for the
inability to obtain and/or maintain penile erection sufficient for satisfactory
sexual performance. ED is sometimes made worse by personal relationship issues.
Male sexual dysfunction should be viewed as a chronic disease with medical,
psychological, sociological, and behavioral components.
Common medical causes of impotence include
chronic illness or the side effects of drugs. Additional risk factors for ED
include cardiovascular disease, smoking, obesity, and high cholesterol. Less
commonly, the problem is psychological. Physical causes are more common in older
individuals whereas psychological causes are more common in the young. Erectile
dysfunction does not have to be a part of getting older. It's true that as you
get older, you may need more stimulation (such as stroking and touching) to
achieve an erection. You might also need to wait more time between erections.
But older men need not accept sexual dysfunction as a normal consequence of
aging.
Some
Chemicals Involved in Sexual Arousal
Nitric oxide (NO) is the
most important chemical responsible for engorgement of sexual organs and
erections.
Acetylcholine helps facilitate erections.
Dopamine is primarily responsible for enhancing sex drive, mood, alertness,
and movement.
Norepinephrine and epinephrine influence alertness, arousal, and mood. These
neurotransmitters increase libido, but may make it more difficult to have an
erection.
Serotonin usually has an inhibitory effect, that is, too much serotonin
decreases sexual drive and interest.
Keep in mind that these are simplifications. Neurotransmitters have
different effects in different parts of the brain and body.
How An
Erection Happens
An erection is a complex event that occurs when blood rapidly flows into the
penis and becomes trapped in its spongy chambers, called the corpora cavernosa.
In addition to psychological and chemical components, an erection involves the
neural, hormonal, and vascular systems.
When visual or auditory stimuli of a
sexual nature stimulate the brain, nerve impulses flow down the spinal cord
where they stimulate activate parasympathetic nerve fibers,
which go to the penis or clitoris and release acetylcholine. Acetylcholine helps
cavernous smooth muscles (corpora cavernosa) to relax and as a result more
blood flows to the penis. Touching the penis also stimulates the parasympathetic
nerves. Usually, both mechanisms are at work to cause erections, but as people
age, they derive less stimulation from the higher centers and need to rely more
on direct penile or clitoral stimulation. In the young, higher centers of the
brain are easily stimulated by fantasizing or thinking about sex, which seem to
cause an erection or vaginal lubrication nearly at will. Another aging-related
change is an increase in the refractory period, that is, the time from
ejaculation to the next erection. This interval may range from several minutes
in a young man to several days in a 90 year-old.
When the penis is flaccid, the
muscles of the corpora cavernosa are in a contracted state. This is maintained
by the sympathetic nervous system using the chemical norepinephrine, which binds
to alpha-1-adrenergic receptors. Yohimbine, a substance found in the African sex
booster yohimbe, blocks these alpha-1-adrenergic receptors and prevents the
contraction otherwise induced by norepinephrine. Erections now occur much easier
since the corpora cavernosa are relaxed and blood can rapidly flow in.
Nitric oxide is another chemical
involved in erections.
Emails
Q. I received the "Bible"
Natural Sex Boosters in the
mail the other day, began reading it and could not put it down. It is packed with such a
wealth of useful information and so well written.
Q. Natural Sex Boosters is the most useful
and comprehensive source of information about non-prescription substances for
sexual functions that I have found.
Q. I've enjoyed reading the
Natural Sex Boosters book. Do I understand correctly
that these herbal sex products, which the book lists, and particularly the
supplements Dr. Sahelian has created, offer natural testosterone supplementation
or replacement (and/or) sexual drive augmentation which DO NOT involve the risk
of prostate disturbance, fluid retention or possibly cancerous cell stimulation
inherent in conventional medical testosterone replacement? ( I have low
testosterone due to a now-healed pituitary problem and would like to try one of
these products if that is the case , but , having recovered from a pituitary
tumor , would not want to risk more such problems).
A. Sexuality is influenced by many factors, and testosterone is
only one of these factors. Natural Sex Boosters mentions nitric oxide as a
vasodilator, dopamine as a libido enhancing neurotransmitter, and there are many
other substances in the body that all work together to influence optimal sexual
health. There is little research with aphrodisiac herbs to determine how exactly
then enhance sexual function. A combination product such as Passion Rx has a
number of herbs that work differently and comprehensively to address many or
most aspects of sexuality. Sexual herbal products are not meant to be taken
every day but only 2 or 3 days a week. As such their influence on testosterone
or other neurotransmitters or physiological functions in the body is not
continuous.
