Loss of libido can be caused by a number of things. In the male, testosterone regulates libido. Aging and illnesses can make the body produce less testosterone. Men will feel depressed, tired, anxious and irritable but will not know what the cause is. Generally, the cause is thought to be external, pressure at work, stress, to much drinks, etc. The morning erections will be gone, sexual performance will decrease and loss of libido. Also testosterone deficiency will lead to anemia and erectile dysfunction will manifest itself.
The best way to enhance libido is to have the sexual partner caress and play with the skin without focusing in the sexual organs. Good stimulation can be as satisfactory as sex and will help the libido return, without the pressure of intercourse where man cannot perform.
Many men say they have found libido enhancers in drugs as Viagra, Levitra and Cialis. Many men with low libido have regained sexual desire with these products.
Other libido enhancers are said to be ginseng, an old Chinese root used for centuries by Tibetans, Koreans and Chinese alike. Long debated, authorities said the product was no more than a superstition. It didn’t help that many products claiming to have ginseng were contaminated with insecticide and unidentified herbs, many don’t even have ginseng! Recent studies in laboratory animals have left authorities doubtful, the results could very well be described as Libido enhancers, although yet under investigation, this discovery could lead to a new product.
Another of natures Libido enhancers is said to be yohimbine, obtained from the African tree bark yohimbine. The way they use it in Africa is to cook it and then drinking the brew. Not accepted by science it was tested to settle the argument once and for all, but again, the tested animals had an unusual high sexual activity. Further research is needed to determine exactly how are the animals affected and if they can affect man. When the ingredients are separated and analyzed, we will become closer to obtaining some scientific Libido enhancers.
The most famous of all is Spanish Fly. It is made of crushed beetles and is a poisonous substance. The reputation as one of the most well known Libido enhancers is due to the fact that blood is rushed to the sex organs, unfortunately this is overshadowed by the side effects, burning of the mouth and throat, scarring of the urethra and even death.
Natural exercise and the mind can also be great Libido enhancers.
