The antioxidant solutions to all these are available in food and supplements such as, the combination of the white of raw egg with small portion of watermelon blended together. Drink daily especially at night.
Studies show that watermelon has effect on erectile dysfunction that is similar to the drug, Viagra and may also increase sexual desire. Watermelon is rich in beneficial ingredients known as phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are also antioxidants. One of their benefits is that they relax the blood vessels that supply an erection. Although watermelon is 92 per cent water, the other eight per cent work wonders for the heart and your sexual enjoyment.
We can also get another antioxidant called Lycopene in tomatoes and pink grapefruit. They contain phytonutrients that are good for circulation and good for sexual issues. Studies show that lycopene could be absorbed best when mixed with healthy oily foods like avocados and olive oil. You can make yourself an ED or impotency fighting salad. Research also shows that antioxidants like lycopene help fight male infertility and prostate cancer. Lycopene can also be found in carrot, mango and blueberry. Daily consumption of each will greatly improve premature ejaculation, weak erection and weak ejaculation.
We can also get some antioxidant from vitamin B3 (Niacin) in beets, tuna, and salmon. Everyone needs a certain amount of vitamin B3 (from food or supplements) for the body to function normally. Having enough niacin or vitamin B3 in the body is important for general good health. As a treatment for ED, higher amounts of niacin can improve cholesterol levels and lower cardiovascular risks. Niacin can be found naturally in many foods, including greens, snail, poultry and fish. The recommended dosage for treating ED is a maximum of 1,500 mg per day, for a maximum of 12 weeks.
Zinc is a valuable mineral helpful in boosting sexual desire and stamina. Whenever a person sufferers from zinc deficiency, he is more prone to sexual dysfunction. Zinc is needed for the body’s defensive (immune) system to properly work. Regular supply of zinc is most special cure of erectile dysfunction because zinc deficiencies can lead to serious erectile problems. Zinc can be found in pumpkin seed. Also, good sources of zinc usually include liver, oysters, and other foods many vegetarians naturally would not want to include in their diet. But even while eschewing meat and animal products, we can get enough zinc in plant products. Rich plant based sources of zinc include sesame seeds (14%/oz), mushrooms (14%/oz), pumpkin seeds (14%/oz) cashew nuts and pine nuts (11%/oz). Raw organic seeds in general are a very good source of nutrition, and are valuable addition to any diet. Zinc antioxidant can also be found in cranberry fruits.
Raw shellfish contains compounds that stimulate the release of sexual hormones in both men and women. L-arginine is a chemical building block called amino acid. It is obtained from the diet and is necessary for the body to make proteins. L-arginine can also be found in soy beans. It can also be made in a laboratory and used as medicine. Soy is also good for the prostate, which is crucial for the reproductive system. For ED, a daily dose of three grams of L-arginine should be taken orally every day for a maximum of six weeks.
L-arginine is an amino acid naturally present in the body. It helps make nitric oxide. Nitric oxide relaxes blood vessels to facilitate a successful erection. Researchers studied the effects of L-arginine on ED in 1999. Thirty-one per cent of men with ED taking five grams of L-arginine a day experienced significant improvement in sexual function. A second study showed that L-arginine combined with pycnogenol, a plant product from tree bark, restored sexual ability to 80 per cent of participants after two months. Ninety-two per cent had restored sexual ability after three months. It can also be got from peanut and green apple.
Garlic act as an aphrodisiac when pounded with fresh coriander and taken in neat pure original fruit wine. The water of boiled wild asparagus serves the same purpose. Garlic contains allicin, which improves blood flow (one of the key factors for helping ED). It is good to take two to three cloves of raw garlic daily with plenty of water especially at night or last thing before sleep.
A number of herbs have been promoted for treating ED. The most widely touted is yohimbe (Corynanthe yohimbe), derived from the bark of the yohimbe tree native to West Africa. It has been used in Europe for about 75 years to treat ED. The FDA approved yohimbe as a treatment for ED in the late 1980s.
Ginkgo balboa is also used to treat erectile dysfunction. Other herbs promoted for treating ED include true unicorn root, aletrius farinosa, saw palmetto, serenoa repens, ginseng and Siberian ginseng eleuthrococcus senticosus. Strychnos nux-vomica has also been recommended, especially when ED is caused by excessive alcohol, cigarettes, or dietary indiscretions.
Drinking antioxidant-rich pomegranate juice has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including a reduced risk for heart disease and high blood pressure and also protect against ED
Horny goat weed and related herbs have purportedly been used as treatments for sexual dysfunction for years. Italian researchers found that the main compound in horny goat weed, called icariin, acted in a way similar to drugs such as Viagra.
Red ginseng has long been used to treat impotence.The Nitrates in leafy green vegetables, like celery and spinach, may increase circulation because of their high concentration of nitrates. Beet juice has been found to be really high in nitrates. Nitrates are vasodilators, and as such, they open up blood vessels and increase blood flow.
The flavonoids in dark chocolate improve circulation. This is especially good for erection problems that are due to poor circulation. Flavonoids are naturally-occurring antioxidants that protect plants from toxins and help repair cell damage. Studies show that flavonoids and other antioxidants have similar effects on people. They help lower blood pressure and decrease cholesterol, both of which are factors that contribute to erectile dysfunction. Flavonoids can be found in dark chocolate, cocoa and also in guava, beans, almonds nuts, skinless turkey, onions, pawpaw, eggplant, spinach, lamb meat, cabbage, mushroom, cashew-nut, celery, sardine fish and lemon.
Your best bet is to eat a healthy diet that is good for your heart and your circulation.
Other foods that are good for your circulation include cranberries, apples, peanuts, onions, tea, and red wine. Chances are, if you take good care of your vascular health, you will avoid many of the common causes of ED.
Vitamin A deficiency has been a cause of ED in some men. Eat foods rich in vitamin A. You should take fibre- rich diet especially water-soluble fibre (fruits and vegetables) as fibre flushes the toxin from the body and also the plaque in the arteries (the cause of poor circulation). Mix one part of ground walnuts and one part real pure honey. Take the mix three times a day, 30 minutes after meals. This should be done one for one month. It is one of the common home remedies for ED. Gingko is a common herb that is used for erectile dysfunction, particularly in people who experience sexual dysfunction as a side effect of antidepressants drugs. It helps to relax smooth muscle and enhance blood flow in the penis. Ashwagandha is another useful herb that increases energy, stamina, and sexual function. It is a herbal tonic that improve erection as well as overall health.
Mix two tablespoons of ground carrots with one glass of homemade soya milk; heat it on low heat for ten minutes. Take 100 ml of the extract three times a day for one week. This is another effective home remedy for ED. You can also cut three medium -sized onions into small pieces and add half litre of warm water and let it settle for ten minutes. Drink 100 ml of the extract three times a day. To avoid the onion smell, add a little bit of lemon juice. The treatment is for three months, then take a one month break, then repeat the treatment. The treatment is not recommended, if you have problems with your alimentary canal. Do not repeat the treatment second time, if you have cardio-vascular disorders.
It is also advisable not to drink before sex. Drinking alcohol or being drunk can significantly impair your sexual functioning.
Exercise Routines for Male Enhancement
One small study also indicated Rhodiola rosea may be helpful. Twenty-six out of 35 men were given 150 to 200 mg a day for three months. They experienced substantially improved sexual function.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It can be converted to both estrogens and testosterone in the body. Scientists make the dietary supplement from wild yam and soy.
The influential Massachusetts male aging study showed that men with ED were more likely to have low levels of DHEA. Forty men with ED participated in another study published in 1999, in which half received 50 mg DHEA and half received a placebo once a day for six months. Those receiving the DHEA were more likely to achieve and maintain an erection.
Most effectively, it is good to live a stress- free life and be relaxed. The effective ways to get yourself relax are – stop smoking, eat fewer carbohydrates, exercise daily for 30 minutes and say no to caffeine. Believe it or not, there have been many men who claim they have had great results from a variety of exercise routines performed daily.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
It is a big sex turn off for me
My husband is constantly grabbing my breast. No matter what I am doing, he will come up and grab my breasts. I have explained this is a turn off, but it does not seem to matter to him and immediately he does that, he is ready for sex. He also wants me to pose like a striper. He says this is his style. How can I get him to stop and behave like a normal adult?
Mrs Tayo palms from Oyo state
I would rather you wisely show him what works for you rather than getting irritated. Most times, his behaviour is just a misguided male libido! It would seem men would begin to realise what “works.” Some males are convinced that an aggressive approach to affection makes him an irresistible, romantic rascal which many wives don’t enjoy but this does not mean his sexual request should be rejected.
Was his intense interest in your breasts once a turn- on for you? If that attention made you feel sexy and alluring, he could have been rewarded for his “fondling.” There might still be ambivalence on your part about his inability to control his passion around you.
The change you desire may require some nice behaviour modification on your part. You can try ignoring the unwanted attention and rewarding any sign of the approach that does turn you on, but make sure you don’t send him off.
Another method would be implosive therapy. Turn the tables and make aggressive approaches toward him. That change in the “dance” may remove whatever excitement he gets from being “on the make.”
Whatever you do, do not come across as a critical mother or teacher, but as a lover longing for intimacy.
I regret my choice of woman as wife
We have been married for three years and though I try to do all the “right” things, it is still difficult to arouse my wife during foreplay. Sometimes, the more I touch her, the drier she gets and the whole exercise becomes unpleasant. She is circumcised and we are both frustrated! Sometimes when I hear all the sexual escapades of some of my friends with their wives, I secretly regret my choice of woman for a wife. And to make matter worse, she does not see anything good in sex, if we don’t have it, she is just fine.
Mr. Provinlo Black
Arousal is a complicated physiological process influenced more by relational, emotional and soulish issues than physical stimuli. This is especially true for women. It sounds as though those components may provide keys to your wife’s failure to become aroused. I will suggest the two of you explore your experiences, attitudes, and expectations about sexual intimacy under a good communication relationship. Begin by writing out your earliest memories about sexual awareness. Include what images you remember and the feelings and interpretations you made as a child. These memories will likely go back to preschool years. Carry the process throughout your developmental years, identifying the attitudes and expectations your experiences produced. For instance, many women recall sexual abuse, which can cause them to become detached or paralysed with fear when approached sexually. Next, investigate your courtship. How did your physical expressions of affection influence you? Many couples will overlook or minimise negative feelings during the passion and excitement of dating and marriage. Compare your interpretations of your relationship. Often couples have quite different impressions. It is easy, in fact normal, for each person to view events through opposing mental filters. The sensitive romantic caresses of a husband may feel like invasion to a wife who has not resolved recent conflict or hurt.
Men tend to focus only on the physical aspects of sexual intimacy, while wives are unresponsive when the relational foundation has not been laid. No amount of tender caressing will produce vaginal lubrication if her emotional needs are not met. Then finally, you must find out the degree of her circumcision and be very gentlemanly with her by exploring other parts of her body that can compensate for her clitoris such as her breast nipples, inner thigh, kissing and good foreplay. Please do not nurse the fact that you are doomed. A good mind-set is a good ingredient in any marriage relationship.
Question three
Is it true?
Since having our two children, my husband and I have lost our sex drives and have mutually agreed sex is no longer important. Is there anything wrong with this?
Umman Uyimere
If you are both being honest, I see nothing wrong with your chastity agreement. Keep your options open, however, since sexual interest varies throughout seasons of life. Having children can certainly impact your sexual interests. The fatigue alone could ruin your romance. Worries of having another baby or being unable to support your family’s needs may also contribute. If there are underlying conflicts about your sexual intimacy, investigate those.
My major concern is that sexual intimacy and physical pleasure are significant parts of humans needs. Denying their expression may cause either or both of you to become susceptible to outside sexual attractions. Keep a close watch on your hearts and model physical affection for your children. Good family planning will also help.
Question four
My husband hates the mess of sex
My husband hates the after sex mess. Every time we finish making love, he wants to clean up immediately. I would rather celebrate in the passion and romance and lie in each other’s arms. What should I do?
Mrs Mosope Judith
It is remarkable how intense the discomfort with sexual fluids can be for some people. At times, the response can create actual nausea.
If your frustration with his immediate departure creates a serious block for you, I would recommend you start getting use to that fact, it a part of your husband you may not be able to change right away. Accept him as he is and as time goes on, it would not border you any longer. Your husband can be de-conditioned from his dislike to sticky secretion. It is also important for him to understand your desire for those romantic moments of cuddling. There may be other adjustments that could help (e.g., use of a condom or keeping a towel available).
Question five
Disabled and in pain
Dear Funmi, my husband was disabled in a bad accident and now he is in constant pain. Therefore, we have not had sex in a long time. I love my husband and want to turn him on. I have exhausted every option: dressing up, taking a vacation, marriage counselling, and sexual toys. Nothing helps. I really miss his touch. In addition, being without it is killing my self-esteem. Any ideas on what to do?
Wonder Praise
Chronic pain is often too difficult to ignore in order to respond sexually. Have you and your husband pursued every avenue to achieve pain control? If not, go to a doctor for treatment and emotional rehabilitation.
Your best approach for physical affection and sexual release is to tell your husband just what you told me. You expressed your love and concern for your husband; you indicated your willingness and attempts to make things happen. You stated clearly your desire for his affection—and what has happened to your self-esteem because of not having sex. Your husband needs to hear those things. As a person in pain, he should be able to identify with your pain.
If he has not read the mail you sent me, write those words in a love note to him. Let him know he does not have to become some super lover, but that you want to feel his touch again. Maybe you can remind him of the warmth you once shared. Then discuss some ways you can both work to have a satisfying sexual relationship. For example if his hands are not involved in the accident, both of you could have foreplay together and he could ‘finger’ you to orgasm. While you tried marriage counselling before, you may also want to consider revisiting that option as well.
