Anorgasmia

Posted by isabel on November 14th, 2007 under Women's Sexual Health

Do you have trouble reaching climax during sex, no matter how excited and ready you are? Then you may be one of the many women suffering from anorgasmia, and not even know it.

Most sexual health research has been devoted to troubles that have plagued men. A man has several options when it comes to curing ailments like erectile dysfunction, including but not limited to surgery, prescription drugs, or supplements. Now serious attention is being taken to your needs.

Now it’s time for the attention to be on you. Women have been sexually dissatisfied for years, but until the latter part of the 20th century sex was widely perceived as simply a woman’s duty. According to research, 10% to 15% of women have never had an orgasm either by themselves or with a partner, and somewhere between 30 to 50% of women have frequent difficulty reaching orgasm. That’s 40% to 65% of women who are dissatisfied with their sex lives.

Recently a group of women’s sexual health experts came up with a more precise definition of anorgasmia:

Despite the self-report of high sexual arousal/excitement, there is either a lack of orgasm, markedly diminished intensity of orgasmic sensations or marked delay of orgasm from any kind of stimulation.

While anorgasmia does happen to males, it is far more likely to affect females. There has been very little study of male anorgasmia.

There are two kinds of anorgasmia: primary anorgasmia, in which orgasm has never been attained, and secondary anorgasmia, where the patient has orgasmed in the past but either can’t at all anymore or can only reach her climax in specific cases, such as through masturbation. Chances are that if you or your partner suffers from either form of anorgasmia, there are several treatments to consider. The root to treating the dysfunction is to find out what’s causing it. It’s advisable to see your doctor so that they can rule out any form of illness that may be at fault, in the case of both primary and secondary anorgasmia. Once anything medical has been ruled out, it’s on to other forms of diagnosis and treatment. Similarly, if a bad past experience is to blame, such as sexual abuse, then counselling may be something to consider.

If you’re stressed, then your mind is elsewhere instead of with your partner. Take the time to relax, eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep. It sounds simple, but a healthy lifestyle is important to maintain a healthy sex life.

Only 30% of women regularly orgasm through intercourse. Many women need stimulation to the genitals, particularly the clitoris, through manual or oral means. It’s possible that you aren’t reacting like you used to because your sex life has become stale. Think of what is sexually exciting to you, and communicate with your partner what you would like to try. Therapy with a registered sex therapist has helped many couples get their romantic life back on track.

HerSolution, an oral supplement made from natural ingredients, has the means to help. It increases blood flow to the genitals and helps your body create natural lubricant in times of vaginal dryness. More importantly to someone with anorgasmia of any kind, HerSolution balances hormones and increases sensations to help you reach orgasm. It is safe and effective to use with any medications you may be taking.

Solving Low Male Libido

Posted by jake on November 13th, 2007 under Men's Health

As men age, many suffer a decrease in sex drive. This isn’t as natural as you’d think; in a study conducted by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), men still on average feel as much sexual desire as they did in their middle age. There’s more at play here than simply getting older.

So, find out why you’re just not up for it like you used to be. There are many factors that could be to blame, both physical and emotional. Most cases of low libido are mental rather than physical. Stress is the number one cause behind a low libido - while sex is a great way to get your mind off of things, you’ve got to be ready for it in the first place. Any other negative feelings, like guilt or depression, can also be at work.

Once you’ve exhausted all of those possibilities and you’ve determined that your dip in sexual desire isn’t emotional, then it’s on to consider physical causes. A profound decrease in testosterone may be to blame.

As men age, they lose 10% of testosterone a decade. Many men lose more than this, resulting in a male form of menopause. Millions of men are going through this right now without even realizing it. They’re so convinced that they’re just experiencing growing older. But feeling tired and out of sorts is not necessarily a universal experience when you’re in your forties or fifties. There are men out there who are still in great shape through their golden years - then why should you twenty years younger feel like an old man?

There are so many other ways that your body is affected by a dip in testosterone, such as a decrease in bone density, an increase in body fat, and balding, but it’s really what it does to a man’s sexual health that he really starts to take notice. Depression is a symptom of andropause, and while this in itself affects your sexual desire, it also affects every aspect of your life.

There’s no need for you to live at half-mast. Life doesn’t stop when you’re 40, or 50, or 60. So get yourself in order and feel like you did in your thirties. You have the power to change your body around, by engaging in regular exercise and healthy eating. Men going through a mid-life crisis has become a cliché, but we’re hoping that you take your middle years as an opportunity to take care of yourself. Too many men let their health slide in their youth, relying on a good metabolism. Now it’s time to pay it back.

Try Provacyl to enhance your testosterone. Unlike medications meant to increase libido and sexual function, Provacyl has no side effects and you don’t need a prescription. It’s also meant to give your whole body a boost, promoting testosterone production, stimulating growth hormone, and improving blood flow and oxidization. Provacyl is also packed with aphrodisiacs that have been used for hundreds, or some even thousands, of years. So while you enjoy a greater sex life, your body gets a new start.

Penis Patches vs. Penis Pills

Posted by jake on November 12th, 2007 under Men's Sexual Enhancement

As the penis enhancement market expands and becomes more and more mainstream, many men are starting to take notice of the possibilities opened by the male enhancement products. However, every new customer that joins the trend has the same question on his lips: which product should I choose? Some customers make their own research before buying anything and know what they are looking for, but most new customers have little idea how penis enhancement products work. Thus, many men find themselves comparing products they have never heard of and trying to decide which one is better. For instance, not a lot of people understand the differences between penis enhancement pills and patches.

Let’s use for this comparative presentation two high quality penis enhancement products: ProSolution Pills and ProEnhance. As the brand name implies, ProSolution is a male enhancement formula sold as pills, while ProEnhance is a mixture of natural substances packed into a patch. The biggest differences between these two products is the means by which the substances are delivered and, of course, the formulas themselves. There is little, if any, difference in effectiveness, although there are groups of people who claim that one or the other of the two contending products is better.

As everybody knows, pills work by reaching the stomach and dissolving there. Once the stomach acids tear the capsule apart, the substances pass through the liver and into the blood stream and start doing their work. In order for ProSolution Pills to be effective, the concentration of active substances inside the body must be maintained by taking one pill per day. The patch, however, works by sending the active substances through the skin directly in the blood vessels. Thus the substances avoid some of the processing that occurs in the stomach and liver. This delivery method has the added advantage that patches have to be changed every few days and not every single day, which gives ProEnhance a slight edge over pills.

Ultimately, choosing between these two products is a matter of taste, since both are effective and popular penis enhancement solutions with well-established reputations. It’s up to the buyer to choose between pills that he has to remember to take every day and a “put on and forget” patch that lasts a couple of days. The only important thing is to make an informed decision and avoid spending money on products that either do not work or, worse, are bad for the customer.

Maca Increases Libido

Posted by jake on November 11th, 2007 under Men's Sexual Enhancement

Historical or traditional use: Maca root has been an important food for the native people in the Andes of Peru, including the Incas, for at least 2,000 years. It is eaten baked, dried, mixed with milk, or in a variety of other forms and dishes. It is also traditionally believed to enhance strength, endurance, libido, and fertility.

Active constituents: Maca contains substantial quantities of protein, fat, fiber, and minerals including iron, which also contribute to its nutritional value. It also contains glucosinolates, the strong-smelling compounds that are responsible for the pungent smell and taste of mustard family plants. Neither these nor any other constituents in maca have definitively been shown to contribute to its actions.

Preliminary studies have shown that maca can increase libido in healthy men. It does this without influencing levels of testosterone or any other sex hormones. Healthy men who take maca have also been shown to have increased semen volume, increased sperm counts, and enhanced sperm motility.

Numerous animal studies show that maca extracts can increase sex drive and improve fertility. Other studies support that it can relieve the negative effects of stress reactions. The red cultivar, though not the black or cream, also reduced enlarged prostates in rats.

Prevent Premature Ejaculation

Posted by jake on November 11th, 2007 under Men's Sexual Enhancement

Self Distraction to prevent premature ejaculation: If your arousal levels are getting too high and a climax is beginning, take a deep breath and think about something else, something very boring if possible.

When you are less aroused but maintaining an erection you can then continue. Stop and Start Method for premature ejaculation If you find yourself nearing climax withdraw your penis from your partner and allow yourself to relax enough to prevent ejaculation. By starting and stopping sexual stimulation you can learn to prolong the sex act.

Squeeze Methods can help prevent premature ejaculation. This 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. This can be repeated until ejaculation is desired. The stop and start method can be used with the squeeze method as well.

Desensitizing Creams for premature ejaculation: Creams can be used to desensitize the end of the penis. They act like a local or tropical anesthetic. Thicker condoms (or two condoms) can also desensitize by decreasing sensitivity and therefore stimulation, thus prolonging the sexual act.

More Foreplay also prevents premature ejaculation. Stimulate your partner to a state of high arousal before you have your genitals touched, that way ejaculation and orgasm can be achieved about the same time.

Masturbation to prevent premature ejaculation: Practice different methods by yourself. Getting to know your feelings and sensations gives you the chance to gain confidence.

Remember getting good at sex and overcoming premature ejaculation can take a bit of time. Practice makes perfect. If you find that things are not improving then help is available from sex therapists who are experts in this field.

Applied Nutrition Natural Fat Burner Pills

Posted by isabel on January 15th, 2007 under Weight Loss

I’ll start with the bottom line: I lost two pounds in the week that I used this product, and I only worked out twice, for twenty minutes each time. I also ate a lot of junk. But I still lost two pounds, which I accredit to these pills.

I bought them on an impulse - I was browsing my local grocery’s diet products section, and this caught my eye. It claims to be made of “100% Pure & Powerful Concentrated Extracts”:

“Liquid Soft-Gel Natural Fat Burner supports your weight loss efforts in a targeted, holistic approach - utilizing some of nature’s most effective fruit and tea extracts. This unique all natural approach means you do not have to worry about the effect synthetic compounds could have on your body. This all natural weight loss support, when combined with a healthy reduced calorie diet and exercise plan, will assist you in achieving your goals. It contains a specialized key ingredient combination for targeted results. Green Tea extract with EGCGs supports energy expenditure and fat oxidation.

  • Pomegranate Juice extract has been shown to have potent antioxidant activity protecting nitric oxide and acting as a detoxifier.
  • Cranberry has traditionally been used for its diuretic properties.
  • Blueberry can support water weight management by assisting in the replacement of potassium in the body.
  • Cinnamon & Grapefruit extracts assist in sugar support.
  • Noni Juice extract from the powerful Tahitian fruit.”

While I can’t say for sure if it was actual ‘fat loss’ or simply water weight, I’m leaning towards water weight. I had previously been using a ‘total body cleanse’ system that left me more backed up & bloated than before (and yes, you’ll get a scathing review of it soon), but as soon as I began using the Natural Fat Burner pills, it all went away. I felt lighter than I had in quite awhile, and my abdomen looked flatter.I also experienced an energy boost when I took the pills, which helped me to have the energy & motivation to actually be somewhat active. Due to my work schedule, I wasn’t able to work out every day, but I had the energy and desire to - which is unusual for me; I’m normally constantly tired and workout out sounds like the least fun thing to do, ever.

Unlike other diet pills that I’ve tried, this one didn’t upset my stomach or make me feel nauseated - which I greatly appreciated. So many other pills use stimulants that that leave my heart racing, head pounding, and stomach turning. I experienced no such side effects this time.

Overall, while they’re not really all that cheap - $10 for a week’s supply if you take the full dose of 4 pills a day, as I did - they are effective and give you a nice, energized & cleansed feel. If you’re contemplating buying these, you have my encouragement!

Visit Applied Nutrition for a free three-day sample (as well as included free CD-ROMs and coupons, I think they’re really trying to build some brand loyalty here!) of the Natural Fat Burner or any of their other products.

Crunch Fitness Candlelight Yoga DVD

Posted by isabel on January 9th, 2007 under Weight Loss

Crunch Fitness Candlelight Yoga has been a staple of mine whenever I’m actually doing a decent job at working out consistently & being healthy. It’s actually the DVD that got me into yoga, and a lot of that has to do with instructor Sara Ivanhoe’s wonderful teaching style. She explains all the postures and movements well without being patronizing or annoying, and has developed a wonderful, relaxing program that you’ll never get bored with. I love doing this as my cool-down after a tough workout, or just to get the kinks out after a long day at work. It’s gentle enough for beginners, yet once you’ve gotten really flexible, it’s still challenging because she shows you different versions of the postures.

The postures and “Vinyasa flow” will gently tone your body while improving your flexibility - so this is an absolutely wonderful DVD if you’ve never done yoga, or if you’re just looking to supplement your current collection with a new, soothing, relaxing program.

The DVD also includes a supplemental 15-minute energizing routine that you can to do begin your day or as a pre-workout warmup. Either way, it really does wake your body up and it’s a great way to relieve any stress from sleeping funny or working too hard! Sara also gives you a tiny introduction to “mudra”, or yogic hand signals in this section - namely, she shows you the mudra that is supposed to help keep your mind focused & your body energized.

If you like to listen to your own playlist while you workout (as I do), the DVD also gives you the option to toggle the audio options. You can pick from the basic audio track that includes Sara’s instructions and their own soothing soundtrack, or you can choose the instructor-only track when you want to listen to your own music, or just focus on your breathing.

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this DVD - I’ve had it for five years and still don’t get bored with it. I lend it to all my friends who want to try yoga, so I definitely recommend it to anyone out there who wants to try yoga, needs a good stretching/flexibility routine, or just wants to soothe their body and relax!

Total runtime is 60 minutes. Not Rated.
