Male Sex Drive

How to Increase Male Sex drive and Sexual Function

The male sex drive (sexual function in men) is a combination of motivation or sex drive/desire and mechanics i.e., the equipment working properly. These two functions are by no means separate and distinct. An erection begins with sensory and mental stimulation. Impulses from the brain and local nerves cause the release of nitric oxide that cause the muscles of the penis to relax allowing blood to flow into the spongy tissue of the penis making it hard. Man's ability to have an erection is a recurring miracle of hydraulic engineering.

Since a man's erection requires a sequence of events, problems can occur when any of these are disrupted such as nerve impulses in the brain, spinal column and area of the penis. It also requires a corresponding response in muscles, fibrous tissues, veins and arteries near and in the penis. Problems can come from many sources: for example those caused by medications for blood pressure and depression among others. Difficulties can also arise from physical problems such as hardening of the arteries that restricts the flow of blood into the penis.

Basic Facts:

1) Sex drive / desire / libido is a function of testosterone stimulating nerve ending in the brain.  The brain has the largest concentration of testosterone receptors in the body.
2) Erection / sexual function is a function of Nitric Oxide production in the body. i.e.  Testosterone stimulates desire for sex and the body responds by producing nitric oxide.

Increase Male Sex Drive Improve Function

Possible situations:

Risking over simplification we will endeavor to keep it to a two problems and three-step solution.

Problem 1:

No desire/no sex drive. Cause – lack of nerve stimulation in the brain: Think of it as priming the pump - the body has to want to do it. The want/sex drive/desire is controlled by testosterone stimulating nerves in the brain.

Solution 1:

Replacing testosterone to healthy levels should take care of sex drive and in most cases also takes care of issues of sexual mechanics or function by causing the body to produce the all important nitric oxide.

Problem 2:

Testosterone is at agood level so that desire/sex drive is there but mechanics/function is not what it should be. If desire is there but the mechanics are still not what they should be, you need to look to something that will increase the flow of blood in the penis i.e. increasing nitric oxide.

Solution 1-- step 1:

Nitric oxide is produced in several areas of the body. A key area of production is the walls of the arteries. Arteriosclerosis (build up of plaque in the arteries) inhibits the production of nitric oxide and also contributes to blocking the flow of blood particularly to the penis. There are several alternatives available to counter this and we would suggest you take it in stages. The least expensive product that is available over the counter is L-Arginine.  Taking 2 to 6 grams (2000 to 6000mg) per day is safe.  It is also good for general circulation.  Results are usually seen in 2 to 3 weeks.

Solution 1-- step 2:

If the problem still persists, the next step is to use something like prescription Viagra, Cealis, Lavitra for men, which adds significant amounts of nitric oxide to the blood.

We have found the above process for dealing with sexual function in men takes care of 95% of the problems. We would also advise approaching the problem in the above sequence. An anecdote makes the point: We had a call recently from a gentleman who was 47-years-old and had been put on Viagra by his doctor -- no testosterone -- to deal with some sexual performance concerns. He called us stating that he had an erection but no desire to use it

.Note:  We recommend that our clients take care of the hormone issues first by getting testosterone replaced to a healthy level and proceed from there as necessary. As frequently is the case, when we raised the above gentleman's testosterone he found he did not need the Viagra.

Solution 2

Penile injections.  If increasing nitric oxide will not solve the function issue -- found offten in men with diabetes or nerve damage-- penile injections are a good solution.  Most men cringe at the idea of sticking a needle in their penis.  In fact it is quite easy and painless.  Several of our clients say they do the injections with their wive and find it quite stimulating.   The result is an erection that lasts about 2  to 4 hours.  Yes it is safe.


Caution: 
Please be careful of dealing with companies that promote the use of penile injections without ttreating low hormones.  We consider this almost cruel i.e. producing an erection with the desire for sex.
