HOW TO INCREASE SEX DRIVE
Your penis might appear to have a mind of it's own, but obviously it is harmonised with the rest of your body. If you keep your body healthy and well maintained it will consequently improve your sexual capabilities, appetite and, as a bonus, your attractiveness and self confidence.
° One of the reasons erections occur less frequently as we age is the older we are the
more likely our arteries are to harden and clog up, this causes circulation problems
and a penis cannot rise without a good supply of blood. Whatever age you are, cutting
down on cholesterol and keeping your heart and arteries in good shape is the best
thing you can do for your sex life.
° A number of supplements work in a variety of ways to boost sex drive.
See supplements to increase sex drive or see below for more information on how they
° Quit smoking, it can cause high blood pressure and bad circulation, it will also lower
your sperm count. Having a high sperm count acts as a trigger boosting sex drive.
° Use it or lose it, the more sex you have the more testosterone your body produces,
which in turn will stimulate the desire to have more sex.
° The existence of human pheromones has only recently been confirmed and is still not
fully understood. Both men and women secrete them but women are more susceptible,
this could be due to the fact that women have a keener sense of smell. They are most
receptive to pheromones when their smell is keenest, during ovulation. See pheromone colognes and body washes
Pheromones work on a lock and key principle, they have coded signals to attract a specific type of partner, and women usually prefer men whose immune genes are different from their own. This becomes complicated if a woman is on the pill, due to the changes it causes she will become more attracted to men with the same immune genes as her own.
INCREASE YOUR SEX DRIVE USING SUPPLEMENTS
Supplements taken to increase sex drive work in a number of ways:
° Some supplements are generally accepted to stimulate and strengthen erections.

° There are supplements generally thought to increase production of sperm, acting as a
trigger to sex drive. These includeCholine and Co-enzyme Q.

° Supplements reasoned to work directly on brain chemicals stimulating
neurotransmitters. These include L-Arginine, Damiana Evening-Primrose, Muira
Puama, and Ginseng.

testosterone, in the body. These include Maca, Muira-Puama, Evening-Primrose,

CAUSES OF A REDUCED SEX DRIVE
° Stress and over-work are the most common causes of a reduced sex drive.
Avoid caffeine, cigarettes, alcohol and above all, try to relax and switch off.
° Poor diet; if you're not getting enough vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids
hormone imbalances may arise and have a big effect on your sex drive. See supplement section
° Familiarity; in long term relationships you become familiar with your partner's body and
the tried and tested techniques. Try varying the time and place of sex, experiment
with different positions and techniques so your sex life doesn't become stale.
° Lack of exercise will affect metabolism and hormone balance, increase your level of
exercise and sustain it, it will take a month to see any benefit. Beware of over
exercising as it can lower testosterone; don't push yourself to extremes.
° Being overweight can cause sluggishness, low energy levels, a diminished libido and
low self esteem. Consuming too many carbohydrates raises serotonin which will further
lower your sex drive.
° Excessive alcohol consumption reduces testosterone production. Extreme long term
abuse can cause impotence, shrunken testicles, penis size reduction and loss of pubic
hair. Milk Thistle can help fight the poisoning effect of alcohol.
° Medication; some can affect your libido, ask your doctor about your prescription and
how it may affect you, it may be possible to change the dose or switch to another
drug if necessary.
° Male menopause; testosterone levels peak in your late 20s to early 30s, by the time
you are 40 there will be a gradual decrease, about 1% a year initially. Men can even
experience some of the symptoms women have in the menopause, hot flushes etc,
unlike women it should be gradual.
HOW PHEROMONES WORK
Pheromones are used by animals to attract mates, science is yet to fully understand their use in human sexual chemistry, but research has shown they can play a part in sexual attraction (anyway it's worth giving it a try)
Your natural pheromones are produced under your armpits and around your genitals, to enhance this you could not wash for awhile, or to avoid the risk of just being smelling try a pheromone cologne or body wash.
