Q. My wife and I are active healthy seniors, but we would like to add zest to our slowed-down and lagging sex lives. Initially I spoke with our family doctor who prescribed Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.
Viagra provided excellent results the first time I used it only. After that it mostly gave me a headache, stuffy nostrils, warm jowls and flashing blue lights in my eyes. Levitra was the most effective and least offensive of the three, but they all took away any spontaneity. I had to take the pill and wait to see what happened.
So, we responded to a sex pill ad with an order for 3 bottles of male sexual potency pills containing amino acids, horny goat weed, maca, ginseng and kola nut extract to be taken twice a day with meals. The ONLY result, after 45 days (well beyond the suggested 30-day trial period) was the painful $150 lump gone out of our family purse.
My question is: Do these promotions, potions and concoctions EVER work for anyone? Are they always a scam with no benefit to anyone but the sellers? There was NO change in my libido or the other male sex organ benefit promised in the ad.
A. Your results are probably typical. Some of the ingredients in this preparation (ginseng, maca and horny goat weed) appear to increase the body’s production of nitric oxide (NO). So do the prescription drugs Cialis, Levitra and Viagra.
NO helps blood vessels expand and may be important for achieving erections. But that doesn’t mean the supplements would work like the drugs. The FDA has not approved any herbal supplements for either improving libido or overcoming erectile dysfunction.
My husband and I were in the same predicament but accidentally found the best way to take these drugs. In our case, it was Cialis that worked the best. It takes a little planning, but it is worth it. He just takes a pill around 11pm before going to bed. For some reason, in the morning he is able to attain the desired reaction which lasts for quite a while. I had read somewhere that blood pools in the genital area while asleep and I guess the added assistance of taking the pill the night before gives the genital area more substance. It does cut down on the spontaneous act but the anticipation makes up for it.
My results are much like yours - no significant help. No change in libido and little ed help.
Try L-Arginine. L-Arginine increases nitric oxide in the body. Helps with erections for men and lubrication for women.
