How to Use a Natural Erection Drug - eHow.com


Among the most popular erection drugs on the market is a natural alternative: yohimbine.

Steps:
1. Know how erection drugs work. Viagra, Levitra, Cialis, and the natural yohimbine all work basically the same way: Sexual arousal stimulates release of a compound, nitric oxide, in the penis. Nitric oxide, in turn, triggers synthesis of cGMP, which relaxes the penis’ smooth muscle tissue, and allows extra blood to flow into the organ’s spongy central erectile tissues. Erection drugs enhance this smooth muscle relaxation, spurring greater blood flow into the penis.

Depending on the medication, erection drugs are taken two to 36 hours before lovemaking, so the woman need not know you’re using a drug. They help men with ED caused by both physical illness and stress/anxiety problems. Most studies show that they produce erections in 75 percent of those who use them, with even greater effectiveness among men with only mild or occasional problems. They raise erection only with normal sexual stimulation. No walking around with an embarrassing bulge in your pants that signals you’ve taken a drug. For most, but not all men, these drugs are also quite safe. The only significant side effects are headache (16 percent of users), flushing (10 percent), upset stomach (7 percent), nasal congestion (4 percent), and rarely, visual disturbances, mostly in men with chronic eye conditions such as macular degeneration. Some health insurers cover erection medications, but many provide only partial coverage, or none at all. However, even without insurance coverage, these drugs are quite affordable. The Viagra dose most men take, 50 mg, costs about $10, a modest price to pay for an amorous evening free from erection worries.

2. Consider the history of yohimbine, the more natural of the four erection drugs on the market. For centuries, the bark of the West African yohimbe tree was reputed to restore faltering erections. Scientists scoffed—until the 1980s, when several studies showed that a chemical in the bark, yohimbine, increases blood flow into the penis. More than 10 years before Viagra, the Food and Drug Administration approved yohimbine as a prescription treatment for erection problems. The herbal extract is available in Aphrodyne and Yocon.

3. Know its limitiations. Since its approval, yohimbine has been attacked as ineffective. The situation is controversial—and confusing. An analysis of 208 studies published from 1979 through 1994 led the American Urological Association (AUA) to conclude that yohimbine is no better than a placebo. However, two other analyses—a 1996 review of 16 studies at Syracuse University, and a 1998 British analysis of seven studies—both showed that yohimbine is an effective treatment for ED. The British group called it “a reasonable therapeutic option.”

4. Consult your physician if you’d like to try Aphrodyne or Yocon. Recommended dosage ranges from 18 to 100 mg/day. Be wary of the yohimbine products sold over-the-counter in supplement shops and health food stores. In 1995, the FDA analyzed 26 over-the-counter yohimbine products. The yohimbine content of yohimbe bark is 7,089 parts per million (ppm). Concentrations found in the tested products ranged from less than 0.1 ppm to 489 ppm, probably not enough to have much effect.

Overall Tips:
Erection medication is a boon to men who need it, but the publicity surrounding it reinforces an idea that hurts both men and women sexually. It’s the idea that sticking an erection into erotic openings is basically all there is to sex. Wrong.

The basis of great sex is leisurely, playful, whole-body sensuality that includes the genitals, but is not fixated on them. For most men over 45 to raise erections, whole-body sensuality—kissing, hugging, massage strokes and fondling all over—are necessary prerequisites. Contrary to the all-genital sex in pornography, truly great sex is a whole-body experience. Without whole-body sensuality, many penises don’t become erect—even if the man uses erection medication.

Unfortunately, erection drugs have shone a spotlight on the penis and erection, and have reinforced the false notion that sex is all about erection. If you use erection medication, incorporate it into lovemaking based on whole-body sensuality. And if you don’t, your penis will work best if you let go of porn-style, all-genital sex, and embrace whole-body sensuality.


Overall Warnings:
Possible side effects include: increased heart rate and blood pressure, fluid retention, nervousness, irritability, headache, dizziness, tremor, and flushing.

PENIS PUMP

Considering the adult entertainment industry today, penis pumps are seemingly only advertised in the back pages of men's magazines. Of course, all of them claim the ability to produce an elephantine phallus.

The facts, however, are that pumps are used by men who suffer from chronic insulin dependent diabetes or circulatory disorders (which is why even Medicare will cover their cost).

Men with these conditions have such poor blood circulation due to their sugar metabolism, that they can't even get the blood flowing into the area. What the pump does for these men is stretch the skin and underlying tissues, allowing them to clamp off the blood flow and consequently trap it in their penis. With the clamp firmly in place, they can briefly have sex.

Take the clamp off and the erection goes away. Repeated pump use doesn't increase your size, it only makes your erection depend on it. You might have even seen pumps advertised as "FDA Approved". Well, they are, but only for very specific health issues.

I have not been presented with one legitimate unbiased study concerning penis pumps. What the pumps will do is make your penis semi-erect so you can penetrate an orifice.
