Enhancing sexual interest and pleasure

**IloveChuck** · 08-30-2010 10:17 AM

I've been researching products online that claim to enhance sexual pleaure and I was wondering if any of the ladies in this forum have tried any of the products that are available? I have looked at Zestra, Femelle, Provestra & Sensagen. These products include oral supplements and topical applications. I'm looking for testimonials on what's worked and what hasn't. All the sites for the above products include positive testimonials, but it's hard to get past the marketing hype and figure out what is legit. I have difficulty acheiving orgasm at times and would also like to experience regular multiples. I have sensitivity issues that I believe are triggered by hormones. My goal in using a product would be to increase sensitivity and enhance the overall experience. I've done plenty of reading on relaxation, positioning, foreplay, etc. so I'm really just looking for feedback related to my specific question. Thanks for any and all help!

As of yet there are none that have passed clinical testing as well as the science to make the products 'legit' in regards to increasing libido or desire. Just like you say the marketing is the problem. Obviously if there is a good testimonial on the website that sells it is purely to support the sale of the product, they do not actually want you to know the real statistics. The reason this is a multi-billion dollar industry is because of the placebo effect. You can sell this as a sugar paste calling it "the all NATURAL cure for increasing SEX DESIRE!!!!!" and someone will buy it saying it worked like wonders even though the manufacturers know there is nothing special about it.

However that said there are OTC products like KY Yours and Mine that work by increasing sensation. These work by simply bringing more blood flow to the area that the cream is placed. That is the simple scientific way to increase some sensation and those will be the products you should be looking for. They will advertise the tingle, warm, or cool sensation...they all work the same way with increasing circulation. Things found online should be taken with extreme caution as there are many many many so-called "fool proof" drugs that are nothing more than basement concoctions of who knows what.

I completely agree with ItsASecret, I would be VERY suspicious of online products claiming to work miracles. Like she said, you have NO idea of what ingredients have been used in those products and staying away from things that are not clinically proven is a much safer option. Maybe you could go and speak to your gp about your concerns, perhaps they will recommend some natural remedies such as vitimin supplements or a special kind of tea. Maybe even visit one of the natural medicine shops. Cant hurt to try

Absolutely a good option. But again make sure that if you are to buy some twigs or leaves to eat that it is from someone who has gone to school for the material and NOT some random sketchy shop on the corner street who cannot even pronounce the product. Same goes for the products sold in a store like 7-11, those impulse buys next to the magazine are not reliable.

Important: If you take any prescription medications you need to thoroughly research the contraindications for all herbal or natural remedies you are considering taking.

Some herbal remedies contain active ingredients that may not safely be mixed with prescription or over-the-counter drugs. This is especially true if you are pregnant or nursing or have any of the following medical conditions: high blood pressure, thyroid problems, depression or other psychiatric problems, Parkinson's disease, blood-clotting problems, diabetes, heart disease, epilepsy, glaucoma.

There is a lot of information on the web about contraindications for herbal remedies, information that may not be addressed in contraindications supplied by pharmaceutical companies. Unfortunately it is not OK to assume the seller of herbal products is either knowledgeable about how their products may interact with any prescription drugs you take. Better to spend the time online researching than lying on a gurney in the ER.

Over all good health and a good attitude will serve you best. Remember that your mind is your biggest sexual organ and the source of most arousal. Check out the books on sex thread, there are some there you may find of interest and check out Mama Gena. Keeping it juicy is your best bet!
