Erectile Dysfunction: Future Treatments for ED
2008-01-15 00:07:00 Future treatments for erectile dysfunction focus on providing medications that are more effective, work rapidly, and have fewer, if any, side effects than currently available treatments. Currently there are three oral medications available to treat ED - Cialis, Levitra and Viagra. A number of pharmaceutical companies are researching new treatments for ED, and many new options may be just around the corner. These include: Uprima: Uprima (apomorphine) comes in a tablet form that dissolves under the tongue. Uprima works by stimulating the brain chemical dopamine, which heightens sexual interest and sensations. A small number of people passed out after taking Uprima, so its release in the U.S. is on hold; however, it is currently available in Europe. Clinical trials are also currently being conducted on a nasal spray form of this drug. Topiglan: Still under investigation, a cream applied to the penis called topiglan uses the same drug (alprostadil) that is used in... More About: Treatments , Future , Erectile Dysfunction , Rect

What are the causes of male impotence
2008-01-07 19:36:00 What is the cause of male impotence?Impotence (the medically preferred name is erectile dysfunction) can be classified simply under two headings. Psychogenic Impotence: that is, due to mental factors; or Organic Impotence, also known as physical cause of impotence: that is, due to some form of bodily malfunction. A symptom of impotence is the inability to maintain an erection long enough to have satisfactory penetration. Later on I will discuss the five major causes of male impotence. Organic male impotence becomes more common as men get older. Is there a natural male impotence remedy, impotence medication, treatment or herbal impotence cure? Although we cannot promise an impotence cure, you should take a close look at Passion Rx, a highly evolved, medical doctor formulated, and time tested herbal sex product which can be considered an herbal alternative for impotence drugs, particularly since some impotence drugs such as Viagra may have detrimental effects on ...

So what are the alternatives to Viagra?
2008-01-01 18:51:00 A few, not all, alternatives are listed.Viagra is very effective and fast acting -- it typically boosts blood flow within 30 minutes to several hours -- but some people prefer non-drug alternatives. Is there an alternative to Viagra, something more "natural" like an herb or supplement? And are any of these safe? Not every man requires the magic touch of Viagra; sometimes all one needs is a healthy diet, exercise and a little of Mother Nature's touch. Several interesting supplements have recently come to light and may provide benefits within days to weeks.Ginkgo Biloba: An herb that is commonly taken as a memory booster may provide benefits. It presumably acts by enhancing blood flow and seems relatively free of side effects. In a study conducted at the University of California, ginkgo reversed sexual problems in 84% of men who were taking antidepressant drugs such as Prozac. The ones who might benefit from it are men on Prozac or other antidepressants. The suggested dose is 80 mg t... More About: Alternatives , The Alternative , Alterna

How Arginmax works
2007-12-24 21:51:00 How Arginmax worksArousal ProcessThe body naturally produces Nitric Oxide (N.O.), a potent signal molecule for circulation. Nitric Oxide is made from the amino acid, L-Arginine, by the converting enzyme Nitric Oxide Synthase (N.O.S.). However, Nitric Oxide has a very short life and its effects are controlled by the enzyme PDE-5. Nitric Oxide relaxes smooth muscles and widens blood vessels leading to enhanced circulation. Erection and engorgement results from increased blood flow to the sexual organs. ArginMax Works in 4 Important WaysArginMax provides the amino acid, L-Arginine, as the building block for the production of Nitric Oxide. ArginMax provides extracts of the natural botanicals, American and Korean ginseng, which enhance the conversion of L-Arginine into Nitric Oxide by Nitric Oxide Synthase. ArginMax provides the natural herb, Ginkgo Biloba, to promote overall microvascular circulation. 13 essential vitamins and mineral...
What Is Yohimbe?
2007-12-24 21:46:00 Yohimbe, more specifically the chemical yohimbine, purportedly cures sexual dysfunction such as low libido and impotence. We derive yohimbe, an herbal supplement, from the bark of an evergreen tree that grows in western Africa. The alternative medicine has actually been approved, in one specific form, by the FDA to be distributed by physicians treating erectile dysfunction. Other non-regulated forms are available as a vitamin compound. For hundreds of years, people living in western Africa have ground up the bark of the trees Corynanthe yohimbe and Pausinystalie yohimbe. Both men and women ingested the mixed powder of yohimbe for increased sexual pleasure and endurance. Sometimes, higher doses were used in other capacities, such as spiritual rituals. In modern times, the ancient herb has gained popularity as an imported powder, extract, or tincture. These mixtures have varying potency of the key ingredient yohimbine. The unregulated vitamin supplement sells over the counter to rep... More About: Yohimbe
Yohimbe Article
2007-12-24 21:39:00 The following article was taken from yohimbe.orgThe best sex ever I have been using yohimbe (the bark) and yohimbine (the pharmaceutical extract) from the mid-90s, and it has changed my life. But I have stopped using yohimbe and yohimbine several years ago, and for good reasons. Version 3.1, September 2004 Yohimbe (the bark) is what got me started on the sexual enhancement train, and I still consider yohimbine (the pharmaceutical) an effective medication to engineer erections. Actually, nothing matches yohimbine for erection rigidity. (Please note that while the bark is named yohimbe, the alkaloid that is the active ingredient is named yohimbine, ending in "-ine" instead of "-e". The effect of the active ingredient, yohimbine, can be obtained from ingesting a sufficient amount of the bark, yohimbe, or by using a prescription medication with the active ingredient of yohimbe, yohimbine.) Unfortunately, yohimbine's strength is also its primary weakness. Yohimbine is the se... More About: Article

Techniques to Prevent Premature Ejaculation
2007-12-21 22:40:00 prevent premature ejaculationThis method involves either the man or his partner squeezing (fairly firmly) the end or the tip of the penis for 10 to 20 seconds when ejaculation is imminent, withholding stimulation for about 30 seconds, then continuing stimulation.

Natural Remedies For ED
2007-12-21 21:57:00 Generally, manufacturers of herbal remedies and dietary supplements do not need FDA approval to sell their products.

Users Personal Experiences with Viagra
2007-12-21 21:34:00 11-year ED Cured I am a 27-year-old male model from NY, and I have been suffering from ED since I lost my virginity at 16. I am a very good-looking male, and I can get almost any girl I want, but I was always too afraid of the embarrassment of facing a girl after 2 minutes of sex. I was tired of pleasing my girlfriend of 4 years orally. I started noticing Viagra pills laying around my father's house, and was very curious about how they worked! I knew they had to work if my father at the age of 53 was taking them. I snuck two of his 50-mg pills, and took them home, where they laid on my dresser for 2 weeks, because I was skeptical of it actually working. After 2 weeks I finally decided to pop one of the pills 30 minutes before sex, and I was amazed at the results! After I had my daily 2-minute orgasm, I thought "Oh No, it didn't work" and assumed my dick would go soft a minute later as usual, But it stayed ROCK HARD literally for at least 4 hours. I kept going, and going! I was ha... More About: Personal , Experiences , Users
