Fact #15: Long-Term, Satisfying Sexuality Varies in Quality One of the most important facts is that the quality of lovemaking is naturally variable. It is a perfectionistic myth to believe that lovemaking will always be exceptional. Th e best research clearly indicates that while lovemaking may vary in quality, satisfaction can still be high. In short, the major criterion for sexual satisfaction is not performance but acceptance and pleasure. Th e Truth About Great Sex Th e truth is that if you think healthy and act healthy, you’ll feel healthy sexually.
Th inking well about male sexuality involves taking good care of your body, your partner’s body, realistic expectations of sex, and adopting the Good-Enough Sex model. Th is approach is focused on being an “intimate team;” on pleasure-oriented sexual function rather than falling into the perfect performance trap; understanding the multiple purposes for sex, the three basic arousal styles and how to use them in partner sex, and maintaining positive, realistic sexual expectations.

L-arginine may also alter potassium levels in the body, especially in people with severe liver disease. It is particularly a concern for people who take drugs that alter potassium levels such as potassium sparing diuretics and ACE inhibitors. L- arginine may cause gastrointestinal problems, lower blood pressure, and change levels of certain chemicals and electrolytes in the body. It may also increase the risk for bleeding. Some people have an allergic reaction to it, which in same cases may be severe. Do not take L-arginine if you have the rare genetic disorder argininemia. Consult your doctor before taking L-arginine if you have cancer, as it can stimulate growth hormone. Consult your doctor before taking L-arginine if you have kidney failure or liver failure. L-arginine may increase the possibility of recurrence of herpes simplex.
Due to its high nutritional value, maca is not only popular as a sexual libido enhancer and for relief of menopause symptoms, but also can increase energy, stamina, depression, memory, and more. In a double-blind clinical trial, 50 men with problems achieving an erection received either 5 g of L-arginine per day or placebo for 6 weeks. More men in the treated group experienced improvement in sexual performance than the placebo. Research has proven maca to act on certain areas of the body that produce hormones and energizing substances, which enhance libido and increase virility.

The FDA warns that, although a Web site may appear to be reputable and may look similar to other retail pharmacy Web sites, many of these are in fact operating from outside the United States and are providing unapproved drugs from unreliable sources. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) has established a program called Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites (VIPPS), designed to certify Web sites that meet industry standards. Consumers should look for the VIPPS certification seal on the site or check with the NABP for a list of VIPPS-certified pharmacies at VIPPS to help minimize the risks of getting bad quality drugs from disreputable sources. If you are aware of any online pharmacies that you suspect may be selling counterfeit prescription drugs, you can report them to the FDA at FDA.gov . The best way to purchase genuine ED medication is to buy it from a licensed pharmacy you know to be reputable with a prescription from your doctor. Be sure to always get a diagnosis from a healthcare professional you trust.

Cell therapy In the case of erectile dysfunction, cell therapy involves the transfer of cells from a pig’s gonads into humans. It is very unlikely to work, very expensive, and illegal in the United States. Chelation Therapy Chelation agents are substances which can chemically bond with, or chelate (from the Greek chele, claw) metals, minerals, or chemical toxins from the body. Intravenous chelation therapy involves injecting the chelating agent EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) into the bloodstream for the purpose of eliminating from the body undesirable substances such as heavy metals, chemical toxins, mineral deposits, and fatty plaques. The American Heart Association has reviewed the available literature on chelation to treat arteriosclerotic heart disease, and found no scientific evidence to demonstrate any benefit. Chelation therapy is a recognized treatment for heavy metal (e.g., lead) poisoning. EDTA, injected into the blood, binds the metals and allow them to be removed from the body in the urine. Chelation therapy is not approved by the FDA to treat coronary artery disease, but some physicians and alternative medicine practitioners use it for this purpose. Up to now, there have been no adequate, controlled, published scientific studies using currently approved scientific methodology to support this therapy for cardiovascular disease. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the American College of Cardiology all agree with the American Heart Association on this point
