Men's Health

[QUOTE=LoveAddict444;4326546]Thanks for the detailed response and moving my question to a more appropriate thread. Yeah, the kid thing is great, I don't feel ready, but who ever is right? Thanks for the kind words, it's going to be crazy for sure.

I think we're similar in alot of ways, I'm very addicted to the sexual variety and newness, but I don't care for the "chase" or keeping female company just to talk, it's exhausting to me personally. I actually prefer to be alone most of the time unless with friends, wifey or family. I'm surprised I've even had as many girlfriends as I did, but looking back I was always forced, pressured or tricked into dating them LOL. I guess I've always been the type of guy women want to get involved with, I've been told it's because I'm "good looking" and "funny", but I don't really see myself that way, I'm very critical of myself. I see myself as a piece of crap like everyone else who just got lucky of having the ability to attract female attention, just a normal guy trying to live in the end.

So that's why the KB thing isn't for me, my best friend absolutely loves them, but he said was never a ladies man or got attention and was always rejected by the girls he liked when we were growing up so it's understandable why he craves that feeling of being accepted. Seems like how someone grew up in school stays with you your whole life. I hate and don't care about being accepted and fight against the idea, so I guess that's why we both get along. BUT I'll visit a KB or VB, sometimes a JB (fuckin expensive) every now and then just for my best buddy's sake though..[/QUOTE]You sound like me. Everything you said is me. I trip out. I no like KB and VB2! But I go because my good friend like. I no crave women attention because I get enough. My friend got rejected and school so he liked the KB and VB. I just go because I like 2 sing. I no despacito 4 attention fro women 2. I only like singing and get high. Escape reality. If I go KB I like going to the spa after 2 fuck MILF or GILF.

[QUOTE=KFish;4327890]I think ginseng is good for boosting immune system and circulation which will help with men's department. FYI, Adderall or SSRI work great for delaying an ejaculation. But then Adderall causes slight ED so you may want to take Adderall with ginseng. If SSRI, I recommend low dose as the medicine is for depression and numbs you-both happiness and sadness. Any women could use some friction and cowgirl position. 😘.

Happy marriage![/QUOTE]Are those prescription meds? Shhhhh.

[QUOTE=CosmicKid;3054073]Wow! That's fascinating detailed info from Mayo Clinic on arginine dosages for numerous concerns. In my own searches on arginine I hadn't come across that particular page. Also, what you say about taking free-form rather than pills makes a lot of sense. I started taking arginine tablets. The company claims they're time-release, and I figured this would be more dependable than a slug of loose arginine powder. But I hadn't considered the problem that is known to occur with a lot of different kinds of tablets, how do I know they are actually breaking down in my gut and being properly metabolized? Good point and thanks for bringing it up. Sounds like I need to stick with the free form version. I suppose, to keep the stuff firing in my system, I could even like drink 2 or 3 grams powder mixed in water just when entering the AMP room, and then 2 or 3 more grams at the 30 minute mark, to keep the equipment operating! Easy enough to carry with, in little one-ounce nalgene bottles. The one issue that continues to bug me though, which I'm not clear on, is, if I just need the arginine for sex encounters, which may only happen like once or twice a week, then what is the value or reason for consuming large quantities of arginine on a daily basis? Or is this even necessary? I mean, Mayo Clinic said, I think it was 5 grams daily for six weeks for ED. I dunno, maybe I need to stop trying to figure this out and just do it and see what happens![/QUOTE]Hey, I need 2 try that. When I drink 2 much I no can cum no matter how long the GILF finger me. Does arginine work if I drink beer or hards?

[QUOTE=TomAssCan9;4328010]Hey, I need 2 try that. When I drink 2 much I no can cum no matter how long the GILF finger me. Does arginine work if I drink beer or hards?[/QUOTE]I don't know, since I don't drink alcohol, and because I haven't run across any online 411 relating to your question. I'll bet that info is available but I simply haven't made an attempt to hunt it down. However, since you resurrected that old post of mine about L-arginine, I will comment on my general mindset these days concerning taking stuff to boost sexual performance. First, about arginine: When I was first taking it, I was like, yeah, amazing; it DID give me an erection, but not necessarily the feeling to go with it! Seriously, I remember having this bizarre situation where I'm fucking a provider and literally having to look down to see if my dick was hard! Means, even though I WAS staying good and hard, I wasn't feeling the pleasure of it! Then what was worse, since arginine did at least keep me hard, I'd expect it to allow me to perform the next time. So I'd gulp down some arginine prior to a subsequent sex encounter, but in the room I couldn't even get an erection at all! Talk about a major bummer. I'm honestly clueless as to why the stuff left me without the libido factor or why it was undependable, didn't kick in each and every time I needed an erection. But suffice it to say, I quit messing with L-arginine long time ago already. And second point I want to make: I've come to believe and be convinced the best way to be virile and able to perform on demand with a woman is to have your entire body functioning at top shape. I also suspect taking ANYTHING for sex, I don't give a fuck what it is, amino acids like arginine, or herbs like ginseng or the famous blue pill, whatever; trying to give your sex machinery a kick in the ass like this, even including taking supplemental testosterone, all any of that shit is going to do long-term is throw your body's vitality and balance out of its true power; and sooner or later you going to pay big time because the situation will sneak around behind you and bite your ass to the effect you won't be able to get hard anymore at all! IMHO. So, what I'm personally doing now; what I've been doing for some time in fact, is studying what it means to live at peak performance; and I've been using myself as my own lab-rat guinea-pig to figure this shit out. But poisons like alcohol and sugar, simple carbs, etc; for me in my life those are ancient history. Just my 2 cents, FWIW. And, if I do manage to learn anything interesting from my garage-style experimentation on myself, I'll probably come back on this blog and share.

I agree wholeheartedly with what C-kid just posted. No need for pills or supplements if you treat your body right. I personally stay away from pills / supplements. After all, if they aren't simply placebo reactions (that aren't sustainable), they're also not without aide effects (maybe even long term ones we weren't yet aware of). I myself, eat right, exercise regular (spend at least an hour or two in the gym daily). I'd say this has more effect in sexual performance than any chemical or substance!

Many of these supplements aren't supported by the medical literature (double blind studies), quite simply. At best, there is only minimal anecdotal evidence. Additionally, the chemical constituents that make up these supplements may even be harmful or full of impurities.

You must be in shape to go 7 days per week. Keep up the good job. 👏. You sound like you take your health seriously by working out daily. Questions: How many years have you been working out? 1, 2, 3? 5? 10? 20? 25 plus? Most serious athletes join a gym at some point of their life long fitness ventures. What gym exercises do you do daily?

Also, a man doesn't need to going to the gym and doing "exercises" to achieve this. People ask me if I exercise and I have to say no. I hike in the mountains and swim distance in the ocean and do this stuff several days a week; but to me it's just what I do; it's my life; and isn't some kind of separate discipline such as an "exercise" which is divorced from the rest of my life. When I've had blood work done, my testosterone has always tested at the high end. But this thing of biochemistry in relation to virility is so darned complicated. As much as I've researched the topic, I still don't fully grasp the dynamics involved, and I suspect most of the experts in the field don't either! Even though I've consistently had high T levels, it has been "bound" testosterone, and what is required for strong libido and virility is "free" T, not "bound" T. I've experimented with quite a few supplements, vitamins, herbs, to try and get my body's balance right. And I know what I'm saying now is going to perhaps be a step back from what I said in my previous post. Yes I suspect taking ANYTHING; vitamin, amino, herb, pharmaceutical, right before a sexual encounter in hopes this quick-fix will fire up the sex; over the long-term, this isn't a healthful strategy and is probably counterproductive. However, there does exist a class of plant medicines, herbals, which if ingested as part of a daily routine, can begin to slowly but surely strengthen a guy's power in the bedroom. These plants are, as a class, labeled "adaptogens", and include such herbs as ginkgo biloba, gotu kola, ginseng, and ashwaganda. (I hope spell-check doesn't mess up these spellings since it doesn't recognize some of these words!) For example, in the case of ginkgo, Mayoclinic. Org suggests 360 mg / day for libido. And [URL]virilityprotocol.com[/URL] says it can take four to six weeks to notice ginkgo's effects. Well, I've been taking ginkgo daily for about a year, and ashwagandha daily for about six months. I take both of them three times a day. And I didn't begin to even become aware of any improvements in my body's responses until perhaps a month or six weeks ago. What I'm only just now beginning to observe is, increased volume in ejaculate, and increased pleasurable intensity during orgasm, as well as greater ease in achieving orgasm.

I agree with you the balance of biochemistry in relation to virility is complicated, and some of it is based on genetics, diet, exercise and supplements. I also agree with you regarding the "adaptogens and adaptogenic herbs"; this intrigues me regarding your supplementation regimen. I've taken some of the supplements you listed but not in that specific "formula dosage". Ive taken ginkgo periodically and now after reading your testimonial, I may need to retake it more regularly.

I've spoken about maca in the past on this board, but there's a bunch of new guys here now. If you'd like to increase your semen volume, you might want to experiment with taking this supplement for awhile. I feel like I've had dependable (not to mention impressive) results with maca whenever I've been taking it. Maca is a root vegetable native to the Andes mountains in Peru. Maca is usually sold in powder form. I sometimes consume as much as a tablespoon or two, a couple of times each day. But if you're just starting to experiment with maca I suggest you begin with considerably less, like say a half teaspoon a day, and gradually increase dosage from there. Maca can effect your hormone balance, and every guy is different, so it's very important to first make sure your body can adjust to and is okay with this supplement. Then, over time, slowly increase your dose to find out what amount works best for you personally, and gives the results you're looking for. Also, I feel you are better off doing your own research into what's on offer out there. Don't just grab the cheapest brand of maca available. Trust me, among maca brands, there tends to be a BIG difference in quality, taste, and potency. Chances are, you get what you pay for. So if you're serious about boosting the quantity of your ejaculate, plan on spending more rather than less on maca, and obtain a quality product. Some will tell you maca increases male virility and libido. This may well be absolutely true for some guys. However, I'm not making these kinds of claims, at least from my own experience. However, semen volume definitely!

[QUOTE=Lknfrpssy;4408874]Have you experienced any side effects?[/QUOTE]Personally, no I haven't experienced any "side-effects" from maca. Anyway, I think of side-effects in terms of the usually inevitable downside of ingesting pharmaceutical drugs, which Maca is not. However, like I was saying in my previous post, each person's body reacts to a given substance in different ways. And I simply cannot predict how this plant might interact with someone else's internal processes. That's why I suggested starting out at a very low conservative dose as a test to discover if your body is okay with maca or not. IMO this is a wise approach to experimenting with any nutritional supplement.
