OK, finally got around to reading
this thread. There are two different though related issues here; maybe 3.
1. Maintaining youthful testosterone
levels and thereby keeping the libido high.
2. Keeping the plumbing working the way you want it to. This is
different from libido. Just means when the opportunity arrises to have sex, you can easily get an maintain an
erection.
3. Finally, the most "different" of the 3, being happy. This is a life long effort for us all and there
is a lot involved, but to keep it simple, let's call it "mood control".
I have put a lot of thought, research
and personal experimentation into all 3 of these, but again, to keep it simple, just a few quickies:
1. I have
used Tribulus for years and it seems to work for me best together with DHEA. More recently discovered Long Jack,
also know as Ton Ghat Ali (spelling may be different). That's good as well, and Horny Goat Weed seems to work
well. In fact, I take them all almost every day. NOTE: there is no replacement for a GOOD workout at the gym.
Keeping your T levels up and remaining healthy, horny and happy into old age is not a lazy man's sport. Bite the
bullet and workout hard!
2. Staying healthy and keeping your T levels up is the first prong of any bed performance
program, but, yeah, it's really a luxury to be able to turn it on and off with little stress. Makes the bedroom a
lot more fun place IMHO. AND.... I've tried every imaginable natural treatment for this. Some work very very well
even next to the pharma stuff, BUT... and it's a big BUT they all seem to end up giving me a headache or some other
unwanted side effects. That said even the pharmaceuticals give me headaches, and even flu-like symptoms.
Especially true with Cialis. The other two, not so much and are maybe the better choices for me anyway. Obviously
it depends on the individual or they wouldn't have any customers at all.
3. OK, the last (but not least) being
happy, or ahem.. "mood control". Somebody at some point created medical terms like "depression" "anxiety" and stuff
like that, so that people could stop pretending they were happy and look for solutions, but the reality is that
everyone experiences these same problems. Everyone has mood swings, everyone becomes anxious, everyone gets
depressed. Just a matter of whether you face it and start doing something practical about it. It strikes me as odd
that a person could go to a doctor and get a script for prozax and the discussion would never get around to
exercise, diet, vitamins, treating others with love and respect, yoga, meditation, volunteer work maybe. OK, I'll
get off my soapbox and tell you what I know about supplements. Preaching aside, I have experimented personally with
tryptophan, 5HTP quite a bit and they certainly do relax the mind, no doubt, but they still seem to give me the ups
and downs thing, and I have found the following more practical on a long term basis to contribute to my generally
optimistic outlook together with regular: trips to the gym, yoga exercises, meditation twice a day, giving my family
and employees as much love as I can manage, volunteer work etc etc.
1. Acetyl L-Carnatine (1000 mg on an empty
stomach in the AM)
2. L Tyrosine (1500 mg) (also in the AM before breakfast)
3. All the known "adaptogens"
glnseng, maca, rodiola, Fo Ti etc etc (there are a bunch these days)
In the evening I take Arginine/ Ornithine
and 500 mg niacin before meditation
Before bed I take melatonin and sometimes GABA and some relaxing herbs and
maybe mint tea.
If I am particularly stressed about something, I might take some L Theanine. That seems to relax
nicely without drowsiness or the ups and downs of other treatments.
OK, that's it in a nutshell. Going to go do
some meditation.
Peace and Love,
B
