Female and male libido
Are the brain chemicals or hormones that influence female libido
similar to the ones in men?
Yes, testosterone stimulates libido in men and women. Dopamine
is a neurotransmitter that has a similar influence in both sexes. Nitric
oxide dilates blood vessels in both sexes. There are more similarities in
libido arousal in men and women than there are differences. That is why an
effective libido enhancing product such as Passion Rx works in men and
women.
How to increase male libido
Q. How do I increase my libido? I have a lack
of libido from taking antihypertensive medications. I take a beta blocker.
A. To increase libido, get a deep sleep, eat more vegetables
and fish, exercise moderately, lead a low stress life, take vacations to warm
climates near an ocean, involve yourself with erotica and try to meet someone
who strongly appeals to you. Also, if you lose weight and eat more vegetables
and fish, your blood pressure may naturally come down and hence you could
perhaps need less of medicine that is causing the lack of libido. Most likely
the cause of low libido in your case is the blood pressure medicine. Your doctor
may switch medicines to one that does not influence libido as much. Beta
blockers are known to inhibit sexuality and they can cause impotence.
Herbal female libido enhancers
Q. Are herbal libido enhancers safe?
A. Most of them are very safe. Certain libido enhancers such
as yohimbe and tongkat ali should be taken in low doses since they have side
effects. It is better to take these herbs in low dosages and be patient rather
than take too many pills at one time.
Q. My doctor told me that I need testosterone to boost my
libido ever since I've had my ovaries removed. Do you think herbs can restore
female
libido without resorting to hormones? I really don't want to take testosterone.
A. Most doctors don't realize that there certain natural herbs are female libido
enhancers as
much as the hormones, and often much safer. Your doctor may also recommend the
temporary use of a natural over the counter hormone called DHEA. But you have to
be cautious with DHEA hormone, also, since it has side effects.
Q. I have been on Yasmin birth control pill for many
years. I have noticed a decrease in libido more and more every day. Does Passion
Rx help increase libido even in women who take birth control pills?
A. The vast majority of women taking Passion Rx find this formula
to be quite helpful in increasing libido, even if they are on birth control
pills.
Early
menopause
Factors associated with decreased libido in midlife are complex but
include depression, disturbed sleep, and night sweats, all common symptoms of
the menopausal transition and early menopause.
Are impotence drugs libido enhancers?
Q. Would you consider Viagra and Levitra
libido boosters?
A. No. These drugs work well for erection, but they are not libido
enhancers. They do little
to increase libido or sexual urge, and they have no effect on sensation of
genital organs. Men report having an engorged penis, but often the sensation is
lacking and there is no passion.
How to increase women's libido
Q. I have had low libido since menopause, is
there an herbal libido supplement for women that can help me?
A. Low doses of tongkat ali, muira puama, horny goat
weed and Passion Rx could be helpful to naturally increase libido in menopause.
Exercise and libido
Q. Does exercise improve or reduce libido?
A. Exercise can help you sleep
deeper which does wonders for libido. Exercise also makes you feel better about
your body, and this could also have an influence on your libido. However,
extreme and excessive exercise can make you so tired that you may not have
any interest in sexual intimacy until you recover.
Luvox antidepressant
Q. My son still has a loss of libido after 3 years
following use of Luvox. Have you ever run across a case of this?
A. Antidepressants, of the SSRI class can cause a loss of libido. Luvox is
fluvoxamine maleate, a medication in the class of SSRIs. Most people
regain their sex drive within a few weeks after stopping a SSRI drug. Your
son's case is unusual.
Perhaps there are other factors involved.
Increase libido in a woman with tongkat ali
Q. Does tongkat ali herb increase libido in a woman? My wife says she has
no libido and she is considering hormones or an herbal approach.
A. Libido actually means sex drive. A high libido means a
person thinks about sex a lot and seeks to satisfy his or her sexual urges.
Hormones, such as testosterone and DHEA, have a major influence in libido enhancement. Tongkat ali is a libido herb used in Southeast Asia
and it is a potent libido enhancer but has to be used in low dosages since side
effects include increased body temperature, restlessness, and insomnia.
Low female libido in a young woman
Q. I am a 21 yr old woman with low libido. I am
looking for something that can help with the inability to become aroused and
that is safe for nursing mothers. Do you know anything that could help a woman
with low libido?
A. Many of the sex herbs could help women's libido, it is difficult to know which
one would help low libido in any particular person. As to the safety while
nursing, we are not aware of studies done with aphrodisiac herbs for low libido
that have looked into the safety issue while nursing. However, most herbs for
low libido are taken only 2, 3 or 4 days a week.
Psychological causes
The causes
of psychological sexual dysfunction and low male libido are numerous, and it is difficult to list them all,
but most often low male libido is related to stress, lack of adequate sleep, depression, anxiety, marital or relationship problems, life crisis, financial difficulties, problems at work, religious repression, or
some forms of mental illness. Getting a deep sleep at night can do wonders for a
healthy libido.
Libido increasing food
Fish, fish oils, and ginger are good foods to increase female and male
libido.
Q. Is low libido in a woman and impotence the same
thing?
A. Impotence in a man is defined as the inability to have a
strong erection enough to last through sexual intercourse while a person can
have a strong libido but still have impotence. Women do not necessarily have
impotence, although the term is loosely used to signify female sexual
dysfunction.
Male libido enhancement
Q. I am looking for an over the counter male libido enhancement
product. How do I know which work?
A. You really can't tell for sure which libido
enhancement product works unless you try it. There are thousands of libido herbs
and libido enhancement pills on the market, and we are quite certain that many of
them work, but you can't tell from the ingredients alone.
How to decrease libido
Q. I am having high libido or high
sex drive. I have to control this high libido, so that it does not affect my
work.
Although i am not having such thoughts all the time, but of late i have started
to observe myself and felt that I want to lose this high libido. Are there any
natural supplements that decrease libido? I am hoping the decreases libido
will help me focus on my work again. I tend to spend too much time on the
internet looking at sex sites.
A. Yes. 5-HTP or 5-hydroxy-tryptophan could help to lower high libido.
Perhaps occasional use of kava my also
be helpful.
Lack of libido due to bereavement
Q. I have suffered from a lack of libido after
my wife died. It's been 4 months now. Is this lack of libido permanent?
A. Chances are you will regain and increase your libido
with time once the grieving period is over and you meet someone who you want to
be intimate with again. Increasing libido with certain herbs could be helpful in the
meantime.
Maca herb
Q. I read that maca is a libido herb from
Peru. Is that true?
A. Maca is grown in the Andes mountains in South
America, particularly in Peru. Libido can be enhanced by
maca extract herb use over several
days. However, maca is not as potent as other aphrodisiac herbs.
Herbal libido enhancer side effects
Most libido enhancer herbs have mild
to moderate heart stimulating properties and are therefore not advised for
those who have a heart or cardiovascular medical problem or are taking
heart medicines. If you have mild high blood pressure, ask your doctor if
low dosages of libido enhancers are appropriate for you. Low dosages may
mean taking half a capsule. Those with heart problems should rather focus
on diet and natural, non-herbal ways to enhance libido.
Low Libido due to Medical conditions
Certain medical conditions lead to low libido -- or complete loss of
libido -- poor performance, or decreased enjoyment. These
include hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, cardiovascular
disease, peripheral vascular disease, neurological disorders, and insomnia.
Drugs that cause low Libido
Drugs that cause low libido
include certain medication used to lower blood pressure, SSRI type drugs used
for depression, sedatives, sleeping pills, and beta-blockers. Alcohol's negative
affect on libido increases with age. Smoking can reduce genital
blood flow.
Finasteride, a drug used to treat enlarged prostate and to stimulate hair
growth (Proscar and Propecia), may decrease
libido, and in some individuals cause impotence and ejaculatory
dysfunction.
Q. I am taking the drug Propecia for hair loss. I have side effects from
Propecia. Can taking tribulus terrestris improve libido which it the side effect
I have. Propecia is causing low libido. Does taking tribulus terrestris increase
testosterone in the body?
A. Propecia use does lead to side effects including low libido.
Tribulus terrestris does improve libido. Not enough human studies are available
to determine the influence of tribulus terrestris on testosterone and whether or
not it has an effect on hair loss or growth. Another option is Passion Rx which
many people report increases libido in those who have taken or taking Propecia.
Finasteride ( Proscar,
Propecia ) cause low libido
Male sexual dysfunction such as impotence, loss or low libido or sexual interest, and
ejaculation disorders have been consistent side effects of finasteride use.
Finasteride is used for hair growth as Propecia, and for the treatment of
prostate enlargement in the form of Proscar which has 5 mg of the drug. Propeica
has 1 mg of finasteride and causes less frequent sexual side effects. Avodart is
also another drug used for hair loss and prostate enlargement which is known to
cause low libido.
SSRI drugs
SSRI drugs such as Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft are a common cause of low libido in
men and women due to elevation of serotonin levels. Serotonin has an inhibitory
effect on sexual urge and desire.
High blood pressure medications
cause loss of libido
Q. Every since my
doctor put me on propranolol for high blood pressure, I have a drop in libido. Is low
libido a side effect of beta blockers?
A. Yes, for sure. Propranolol is a beta blocker, and almost all beta
blocker interfere with optimal sexual functioning, including reduction of libido and sensation, along with difficulty with erection.
Antipsychotic drugs as cause for
low libido
In 30 to 60% of patients who take antipsychotic drugs, the use of these
medications is linked to reports of loss or low libido, erectile and/or
lubrication problems and orgasm and ejaculation disorders.
Atypical antipsychotics can provide improvement in schizophrenic
symptoms but also may cause side effects, such as erectile dysfunction and
decreased libido. In order to keep patients symptomatically stable and to help
alleviate these side effects, doctors should alter the treatment strategy,
possibly by switching medications.
Testosterone treatment for to
increase
libido
In men who are older and have low testosterone levels, replacement with this
androgen does increase libido. However, testosterone should be
used for a brief period of time and only in low dosages to prevent androgenic
side effects. An alternative to testosterone is the over the counter hormone DHEA which also should be used cautiously. Men who prefer not to use
testosterone or hormones often do quite well taking natural herbal supplements
that can easily increase libido. Some of these herbal aphrodisiacs are
mentioned at the top of the page and are found in Passion Rx.
Female libido questions
Q. Does hysterectomy cause low female libido?
A. It should not. In a minority of cases female libido is enhanced
after a hysterectomy.
Q. I am 34 year old female taking a SSRI medication
called Celexa for anxiety and a side effect of the medication is low libido and
difficulty achieving an orgasm. Is it ok to take Passion Rx formula to increase
libido or would it interfere with the SSRI medication?
A. It is difficult to predict the reaction to the combination of
Passion Rx with a SSRI antidepressant medication. SSRI drugs are known to cause
low libido or a loss of libido in men and women. Passion Rx can enhance libido
but it may be more difficult since there is always the inhibition going on from
the SSRI drug. If your doctor approves, you could try half a capsule of Passion
Rx every other day, or two days on, one day off. And be patient for 2 weeks to
one month. If you find you are having trouble sleeping, reduce the frequency of
use of Passion Rx.
Q. I have low libido from menopause, is
there an herbal libido supplement that can help me?
A. Low doses of tongkat ali, muira puama, mucuna pruriens, horny goat
weed and Passion Rx could be helpful to naturally increase libido in women with menopause.
Q. I heard maca is a female libido herb from
Peru. Does it work?
A. Maca is grown in the Andes mountains in South
America, particularly in Peru. Female libido can be enhanced by maca use over several
days and weeks.
Male libido questions
Q. Are libido problems and impotence the same
thing?
A. Impotence is defined as the inability to have a
strong erection enough to last through sexual intercourse while a person can
have a strong libido but still have impotence. Libido refers to sex drive. On the other hand, if someone
takes a Viagra, they can have a strong erection but still have a low libido and
little or no sensation of the penis.
Q. What is real definition of libido? Does
tribulus terrestris herb increase libido? My wife says she has no libido. Define libido
please.
A. Libido actually means sex drive. A high libido means a
person thinks about sex a lot and seeks to satisfy his or her sexual urges.
Hormones, such as testosterone, have a major influence in libido enhancement.
Tribulus terrestris herb does enhance libido in most users.
Q. I am 44 yrs old, i do not smoke or drink, or ever
used drugs, but lately i am so stressed and sleeping average 4 to 5 hours per
night anyway, my libido is decreasing so bad and lately i started taking Viagra
pills, you have erection but you still have low libido. I fell like i am doing
something that is not giving me pleasure. It was not like that in the past! i
bought a DHEA 50 mg but i did not have courage to take it after reading a web
page (DHEA side effects) anyway i am planning to start with 5mg do you think it
will increase libido? Would you think 5 mg it is a good dose to start?
A. DHEA may increase libido in some users. However, there are herbs
that are safer for the long term to increase libido. Low dosage DHEA can be
tried for a few days and then stopped for couple of months. In the meantime,
sexual herbs to increase libido can be taken in low dosages.
Q. I am interested in buying Passion Rx without yohimbe,
l-arginine powder, rhodiola and ginkgo biloba. I want to increase my libido and
need help with stress and energy. Is this a good mix? How should I go about in
cycling these products?
A. Each person is unique. It is best to learn how each sex
enhancing product works by itself by trying it for a week without mixing with
other supplements. Once you learn how each one influences your sex drive, then you
may combined them but in low dosages. Passion Rx is potent and it is not
necessary to take it with other herbal boosting supplements.
Q. I am a family physician who has some growing
interest in the herbal / alternative medicine field in conjunction. My wife and
I are 50 years old. Recently she commented that she wondered if we could boost
her libido. I have seen ads from another doctor for a pheromone type topical
application. How does Passion Rx compare to that, and what are your thoughts on
these pheromone preparations to boost libido?
A. We are not familiar with the benefits or effectiveness of
pheromone preparations. Passion Rx is very popular in those who wish to boost
their libido, and it often takes only a few days to be noticed when taken 2 days
on, one or two days off, in the morning on an empty stomach at least a half hour
before breakfast.
