The Greek Aphrodisiac
In Greek mythology, an aphrodisiac was a festival, which was celebrated where
Aphrodite (the Greek goddess of love and beauty) was worshipped through sexual
intercourse with her priestesses. In Roman mythology, Aphrodite was called Venus
and Cupid was her messenger. Throughout time, however, the word aphrodisiac has
come to describe any food, drug, potion, or other substance that arouses sexual
desire.
What about herbal sex pills?
There are quite a number of herbal and nutritional sex pills that I consider to have
aphrodisiac qualities. If you click the index at the bottom of this page, you
will see a number of them mentioned. You could also read a comprehensive book
called Natural
Sex Boosters which devotes a chapter to each nutrient and herb.
As medical science has given us a greater understanding of human sexuality and
our own chemical processes that put us in the mood, research has uncovered how some
well-known and not so well-known sex pills actually work with our body chemistry to
lead to arousal and excitement, and the treatment of
impotence. Various substances of animal and plant origin have now
been identified, allowing for testing and scientific understanding of their chemical
composition and mechanisms of action.
A note about the
pharmaceutical sex pill Viagra
Viagra (sildenafil), approved by the FDA in 1998, has been the most popular
sex pill for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Viagra works very well in dilating
blood vessels in the genital region leading to an erection or increased blood flow to the
vaginal tissues, however this blue sex pill does little to directly increase libido or sexual arousal. The
effect of Viagra is often noticed within an hour after taking a pill of 50 or 100 mg, and
ease of erection may last up to 12 hours. Side effects of Viagra include headache,
flushes, nasal congestion or runny nose, malaise, nausea, changes in blood pressure,
irregular heart beats, visual disturbances including rare cases of blindness, and chest
pain. Viagra may cause stickiness of blood platelets.
I personally find natural sex pills quite effective and preferable
to pharmaceutical drugs. There are several
herbs that could help sexual health, these include
LJ100 and also tongkat ali. Muira
puama and catuaba are also good.

Q. Please, I would like to know if there is any sex pill that doesn't enhance
testosterone levels, for men with prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction or
lack of libido problems.
A. Not enough human studies with these natural sex pills have been
done to find out their effect on testosterone levels. You may consider a blend
such as Prostate Power Rx which many people with erection problems like. Also
consider Passion Rx with yohimbe. These are used only 2 or 3 days a week and
should not have much of an influence since they are not used every day.
Q. Are natural sex pills, such as Passion Rx,
appropriate for older people such as those over 70 years old?
A. The effectiveness of Passion Rx or other herbs and herbal
formulas used for sexual enhancement is not necessarily dependent on age.
However, as with prescription medications, there is a concern for side effects
in older users. Most herbs used for improving sexuality have a tendency to
increase heart rate and that may be a concern for those who have a weak heart.
Some older individuals are able to still use sexual herbal formulas but in a
smaller dosage, such as a third or half a capsule, and by being patient since
the supplements take longer to work when used in lower dosages.
