Q. Sex tonics -Are they woth the Hype?

Ans: Please read in detail:

SEX TONICS –ARE THEY WORTH THE HYPE?

Ageing is the only inevitable eventuality of life. Rest all events are transient &

temporary. Sex is a phenomenon, practiced by all creatures on this earth for

generation propagation. Human beings and Dolphins are the only species, practice

sex for pleasure throughout the year without any seasonal inclination or hormonal

preponderance.

World Health Organization in 1994 declared Sexual activity as a fundamental human

health right and an important index of quality of life. But unfortunately, Sex is

considered as a forbidden zone for all the age groups and genders among all societies

across the globe. People refrain from discussing it with their elders as well as their

teachers or doctors. In country like India, imparting Sex education to teen age boys

and girls is still a matter of discussion and is controversial because of multiple caste,

creed, color and religion. Conventional way of sex education is typical, boring

and not sufficiently good enough for attention while pornographic reading or

watching is awfully attracting and charming but misleading at the same time. All

sexually active persons have heard of sex tonics & imagined to have used a sex tonic

at one time or the other. There are a lot of myths about sex tonics which are also

known as Aphrodisiacs.

Sex Tonics are in use since ancient times when herbal products having resemblance

with genital organs were frequently used to enhance power and performance.

People, in particular males, have a different psychology about performance in bed.

One wants un-proportionate length of time for sexual act and is easily drawn

towards the advertisements of variety of sex tonics available in capsules, tablets,

sprays or oils that claim to fulfill this unquenchable thirst. Sex Tonics are imagined

as magical drugs which should ideally induce intense sexual desire and maintain a

hard on erection for longest period of time to please the female partner. This is

somewhat to achieve supernatural sexual power to perform.

Pornographic materials available in audio-visual resources have also generated

misconceptions about sex tonics or sex performance for extra length of time for

all age students of sex. But the irony is that despite all hue and cry about

aphrodisiacs no ideal sex tonic has been discovered till date. The million dollar

question is what an ideal sex tonic should have. The market is flooded with variety

of sex tonics which are either chemical or herbal or natural or synthetic agents.

A Sex tonic aspirant seeks to find

such an agent which enhances the sexual desire of a person psychologically and

improve the sexual performance physically. This is like finding two worlds at the

same time. Sex is an act regulated by molecules in MIND and performed by Organs at

perineum. That is why Sex is called as physical activity while LOVE is all chemistry.

There is a basic human urge and an avid search for an ideal sex tonic which can

increase both sexual appetites and sexual performance all together. An Ideal sex

tonic should have:

No side effects
Having equal potentiating effect on both sex desire as well as sexual performance
Mild to moderate effect on the psyche i.e. alteration of mental state of sex desire
Safe and specific effect on local genitals tissue for actual performance
Easy availability
Economical
Rapid onset of action
Sustained actions for a desired length of time.

Many vegetarian, herbal, ayurvedic medicinal products and modern medicinal drugs

are used with the claim that they could increase a person’s sexual powers of

performance and desire. Among all available resources ALCOHOL is a widely used

and accepted aphrodisiac with varied dose related response from person to person.

Alcohol as chemical is known to enhance the sexual desire level of a consumer by

abolishing all inhibitions including the mental blocks and complexes related to

sexual performance.

Be it a gentleman or a lady, after consuming Alcohol the barrier of SAY NO to all

ethnic, social, physical or psychological taboos are removed leading to due openness

for performance actively in sex act. Despite all available drugs over the counter

ALCOHOL is being used widely by all age and gender aspirants. It helps to prepare a

mind up for actual sex with enhancement of desire. But the performance in bed

under the influence of ALCOHOL is skeptical. Alcohol increases the sexual

responsiveness;

certainly because of lost inhibitions of the subject whether it actually improves the

performance is a debatable issue. This happens more with male’s performers as they

reduce with the inhibitions before the sexual performance and ejaculate early

because of enhanced responsiveness of the sensitive genitals.

FDA of USA has declared that there is no scientific proof that any OTC or “Over The

Counter” sex tonic work to treat

sexual dysfunction or fulfill the desired attainments in the act of sex. The

psychology of taking Sex Tonic is to be understood as the agents that strike more on

PSYCHE than on Physique.

Now the question arises why people go for searching sex potentiating agent. Do

people expect more and more adrenalin in bed from themselves or relying more on

such self acclaimed agents for un-proportionate performance gimmicks or just a

curiosity for any such chemical, herbal or driven by pornographic audio-visual

material or advertisement in print or electronic media. Whichever is the route for

approaching to any sex tonic, the response is never told to anyone. Nor does one let

others know what and how he has been duped and befooled. Sex is a forbidden topic

and people react on whatever they overheard about it. Performance in bed for both

male and female is a subjective feeling, varying from person to person and location

to location. Reaching to the pinnacle of sexual act which is called Orgasm is

dependent on multiple individualistic factors. Consent, Foreplay, proper Lubrication

in females and Erection in males are the factors responsible for attainment of timely

orgasm.

Orgasm is the shortest phase of sexual response cycle.

enhancer used by Royal clan as gold is very expensive. It’s a metal and could harm

Kidney and Bones if consumed for long time. There is no research taken up for such

metals to give a power and performance profile for sexual act. It is the visual effect ofpicture shown on the packing of such products which affect more on brain than on

genitals. Such metal dust in form of Bhasm are dangerous for the human body.

Any of above mentioned drug or chemical which is used under the

impression that it will help enhance libido and consequent performance

during intercourse is all subjective. Consumption of any of these products

fulfills your body with a load of Macro and micro minerals with vitamins

which somehow or the other revitalize your body, get rid of any deficiency

in the body leading thereby to an energetic state at physical level and

consequently mental serenity.

A person taking deficient diet, on consumption of any of acclaimed or

hyped agent will get a loading dose of normally required mineral or trace

elements would improve with general physical vigor and possibly lead to

an increased sexual interest.

Any of Phyto-pharmacologic or medicinal agent on

prescription of a patient is known to act on the target organ. They may

dilate the vessels in the organ to increase the blood flow to the organ or

alleviate the apprehension about sex or potentiate the nerve supply to the

organ concerned.

All these products receive a wide propaganda through media and people

fall a pray to packaging of the material which depicts either running Horse, bull or a Macho man which strike the brain of a person.

The take home message is that you should make it sure to follow 6 point

schedule to have sexually active life :

Physical Fitness with regular schedule of exercise and a balanced diet.
