A survey done by the by The New York Academy of Medicine claims that over 40% of young teens in the US have lost their virginity by the age of 14.   Angelina Jolie revealed how unprepared she was for early age intercourse at age 14, when she said, “After having sex for the first time, the emotions didn’t feel enough.

So to feel closer to my mate, I grabbed a knife and cut him.”  Heck, Kelly Osborne was only 13 when she lost her virginity.  She said, ” I convinced myself I wasn’t pregnant, I hadn’t even gotten my period.”  This is only part of this story.

A newly released survey reveals that 63% of all women report significant sexual problems (called female sexual dysfunction or FSD).  What is shocking to me is that the number one issue in the younger women – those under 30, is inability or difficulty in achieving an orgasm!  Many Sexperts suggest that a young women’s difficulty in having the big O (anorgasmia),  is a result of either inexperience with her sexuality, unstable relationship, poor body image, partner ineptness, drug and alcohol interference, or simply lack of practice.  I think all of these things can influence a girl’s potential sexual pleasure, but what is concerning to me is that I feel that there is a more sinister problem extinguishing the flames down below.

Birth Control Pills (BCP) may mean no babies, but also may mean no orgasms!

The Perfect  Storm – 1.  Early Sexual Activity   2.  Birth Control Pills  3.  Female Sexual Dysfunction

Not only are BCP’s the wrong kind of estrogen, and the wrong kind of progesterone, it is also packaged in a pill – all three of these issues are serious enough to consider not selecting it for use in any woman.  But, unfortunately it gets worse.  Taking the BCP sends a woman’s testosterone plummeting towards zero, effectively killing her natural sex drive, and making her mood, motivation, memory, strength, decision making, and sleep much worse.  As if that wasn’t enough, estrogen increases body fat production, and elevates a protein called Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG).

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin is a protein that goes through the bloodstream looking for testosterone.  Once it finds it, it binds it, effectively eliminating it for use.  So a unsuspecting woman, trying not to get pregnant by taking her BCP, has her testosterone levels being cut severely, and then what’s left is being scavenged up and bound.

So as long as women take birth control pills, they won’t be horny, and those who are having sex won’t be singing any orgasm songs.  If you must take BCP – consider taking a product called, DIM (www.ivitaminscience.com) to reduce cancer risk, and see a good doctor (www.pbpmed.com) who can see if testosterone cream could relight the fire in your panties.

Time to get your O’s back!

Homemade Viagra! 

I don’t recommend putting a clove headband on to try to boost your sex life!  I have heard about “a girl being so ugly she has to hang a porkchop around her neck to get the dog to play with her.” but this couture garland thig is just stupid! 

Garlic has long been used as a spice and has been reported to possess medicinal and pharmacological properties. Several studies have indicated that garlic can lower blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol, but what is really exciting is what it can raise!  Indeed!  Testosterone and the body parts (ED) that need it are raised when you take Garlic.

Cameron Diaz -  raises more testosterone than Garlic

Surf babe Cameron Diaz, is a picture of health at the beach!  The sexy Charlie’s Angel loves a substantial breakfast of garlic and lemon chicken with broccolini  to give her the energy for hours of surfing.  I wonder if Garlic repels Paparazzi or Great White Sharks?  Testosterone boosts women’s bodies, and sex drive just like a man’s! 

This “guy” is several cloves short of a full bulb – “there ain’t enough Garlic in Italy to help this guy”

Garlic repels all forms of bloodsuckers actually- including Vampires, Mosquitoes, Ticks, and possibly Statists too!  Garlic’s healing powers come from the sulphorous compounds it contains (the same ones feed the bacteria in your mouth, causing bad breath and the natural insect repellant effect)!  Parsley is the best weapon against garlic breath and lonely nights.

So stock up on some parsley and mouthwash, and get to eating some garlic.  You’ll live better, look better, and have more sex!  I guess we could call Garlic – Mother Nature’s Roids!

Turkey Increases Testosterone

The protein from organic turkey will help maintain optimum testosterone levels, and increase it in men who build muscle through working out.  True organic is better than traditional commercial turkey because the hormones used in industrial turkey can increase estrogen production and lower testosterone levels. Diets low in protein in elderly lead to elevated sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels and decreased testosterone bioactivity. Fat makes estrogen!  The decrease in bioavailable testosterone can result in declines in sexual function and muscle and red cell mass, and contribute to the loss of bone density.

Turkey sandwiches decrease your waist size and boost your sex life

President Obama charged a reporter on his campaign bus $115.62 for a cup of soup and a turkey sandwich.   This change we can believe in- it is called taxation, taxation, taxation.  We should have seen the writing on the wall then.  We do have a lot of turkeys in Congress and the White House right now.  Eating turkey is good, voting for them is bad.

Don’t be Trypped up by Turkey and Sleep through Sex

Turkey does have the makings of a natural sedative in i­t, an amino acid called tryptophan. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, meaning that the body can’t manufacture it. Tryptophan helps the body produce the B-vitamin niacin, which, ­in turn, helps the body produce serotonin, a remarkable chemical that acts as a calming agent in the brain and plays a key role in sleep.  Nobody has sex right after a thanksgiving dinner – except for vegetarians.

Testosterone Coffee has proven to be a bad idea!

Female Sexual Dysfunction Patch

A recent report  looked at the effects of the new female sexual dysfunction patch called Intrinsa.  This patch which is being nicknamed the female Viagra works by giving women a boost of the male hormone testosterone which is sometimes lacking in women who have a low libido.

Hysterectomy may mean Stayawayfromme!

A new report which was written by Dr. Sheryl Kingsberg looked at over 130 women who said that their desire to have sex was greatly reduced after they lost their ovaries. When women to lose their ovaries they tend to immediately produce less of three important hormones namely estrogen, progesterone and testosterone which causes them in turn to experience menopause.

The Female Viagra Patch Works!

Women on the patch reported a positive effect with an average increase in sexual activity of 4.4 times over four weeks. In contrast, women who did not experience a benefit from the patch had only a 0.5 times increase in activity over four weeks. (still an increase interestingly enough!)

Women with low testosterone levels experience loss of libido which in turn can often cause relationship stress and loss of bone and muscle mass throughout their lives. It is estimated that around 40% of women suffer from some form of female sexual dysfunction. This is higher than the amount of men suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED)!  So it is a really big deal!

Time for a patch!

“Obama-bonics?” 

Today, I heard something I never thought would be proclaimed by the President of the United States of America, the leader of the free world, the most powerful man on the planet…he said, “people in America are getting awl wee-weed up.”  Now, I have used a bit of slang in my day, and I’ll admit I am not down with street lingo, but wee weed up?  Is that a form of ebonics mixed with politics?   Or maybe he was thinking of the good old days when he wet his diaper back in Kenya, and began his political career where he  hoped for a “change”?   The only thing for sure is that his poll numbers are going into the toilet these days, and for good reason.

Say it ain’t so Joe,” no flow!”

Speaking of going into the toilet…Maybe our President  just said that wee wee’d remark  to illuminate one of the bigger health problems in America, BPH – benign prostate hypertrophy?   BPH is the reason men keep going, and going, and going to the bathroom – and once they get there, they only get a dribble.  It is a mechanical issue caused by the prostate pushing on the urethra impeding urine flow. 

Sen. Reed demonstrating his universal prostate health checking plan to Speaker Pelosi

One of the natural remedies proposed by President Obama to stop leeky wee wee  is to blindly agree with all of the socialist agenda’s put forth by Pelosi, Reed and the Statists.   Another, perhaps better way might be to take saw palmetto, a natural remedy that does cause the prostate to shrink.  Food sources high in  zinc (pumpkin seeds)  or selenium supplements are very good.  Omega 3 fish oils are also helpful.  There is always a couple of types of pharmaceuticals including Cardura, Rapaflo, Avodart, Proscar that help flow.  Unfortunately, these can have side effects that really impact sexual performance and desire.  I just want to warn guys out there who are proactive, preventive minded.  If you don’t have an enlarged prostate, don’t take the supplements other than nutrients like minerals, vitamins, and omega 3 fish oils. 

Oh, another remedy is to sit down to go wee wee.  See, all that talk about having the protestor’s sit down and shut up, was really just another public health measure courtesy of the Democratic Socialist Republic of America.

Thanks President for carrying the pumpkin seed, and helping us focus on this public health problem that does indeed needed discussion.  

Time for our leaders to stop sitting all over Americans,

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)- can really tie you up!

SHBG is produced by the liver cells and is released into the bloodstream. Other sites that produce SHBG are the brain, uterus, and placenta and vagina. In addition SHBG is produced by the testes; testes-produced SHBG is also called androgen-binding protein. 

Why is this important?  When you are doing testosterone replacement therapy, or trying to maximize your own natural supply, you must try to keep SHBG from increasing or else you will be a weak sister, with erection problems, or ED!

Pop the Protein Bubble – SHBG looks for testosterone to take out of circulation

As you know, the human body uses testosterone to bind to cells and promote lean muscle mass, sexual energy, and vitality.  However, the majority of testosterone is bound or weakly-bound to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and therefore, useless.

This is an example of what can happen with too much SHBG binding up your testosterone.

Estrogen increases SHBG, so if you don’t control estrogen through medications, more of your free testosterone is bound by SHBG and wasted!  The good news is that Vigorous exercise lowers SHBG.  So total testosterone isn’t that important, it is what is available (or free)  that makes all the difference.

If you are on any kind of testosterone program, and your doctor hasn’t prescribed estrogen blockers, that doctor doesn’t know enough about testosterone, and you should call my office, dial the number at  www.pbpmed.com, and get some real help.  Also, keep eating decently, exercise like crazy, and take your vitamins and mineral supplements.  www.ivitaminscience.com.

Arnold, if you take testosterone, you better beware of becoming a “girlie man”

Successful andropause (low testosterone in men) treatment requires a high degree of knowledge both by the patient and the physician.  Too many doctors are prescribing testosterone as a “side business” out of their natural medical zone of expertise – all with good intentions.  But they are causing a lot of problems, including elevated estrogen which can cause gynecomastia (man boobs, moobies, bitch tits).  This bad side effect can be permanent so it is a real problem.  The only recourse is for men to have plastic surgery, and that can run anywhere from $7500 – $20,000!  In the USA this is a very common procedure, and there are surgeons that do this exclusively because of the volume of guys needing it!  The problem of estrogen is just one of the many problems with inexperienced prescribing of testosterone – there are several others like ED, and low sex drive.

Gynecomastia – “Moobies”

Men have an enzyme that takes testosterone and turns it promptly into estrogen!  This is called the aromatase enzyme, and it must be controlled and blocked to prevent problems like gyno.

The Estrogen Blockers – here are just two of many choices:

Chrysin- ” a natural aromatase inhibitor” – some guys use this natural product, and probably are into flowers if they do!

Chrysin (5, 7 Dihyroxyflavone) is a flavonoid extracted from the plant Passiflori coerulea, a member of the blue passion flower family.  It is promoted in bodybuilding to be an effective inhibitor of the aromatase enzyme.   I can tell you in my experience, it is a poor choice, even though it is “natural.”

“Arimidex”- Anastrozole – the holy grail of estrogen blockers

A new generation of estrogen blocker – this powerful prescription medication targets the aromatase enzyme with a vengence, and works very well.  It can actually work too well, because estrogen in small amounts is critical to male health.  In fact, you must have estrogen to have lean muscle, and also to make an erection.  So, we need to keep estrogen in a narrow range to have it work for a guy, instead of working against him.  Some see a drop in good cholesterol and a raise of bad cholesterol with estrogen blockers.   (We combat that with Niacin (Vitamin B3).

It is a dangerous time to be a testosterone patient

So, if you are going to do testosterone, don’t do it yourself, and don’t pick a doctor that doesn’t do this full time. 

Full Timer,

Dr. Frye

Gynecomastia - Male Breast Development (aka Man Boobs, Moobies, Bitch Tit)

Androgel, or any testosterone product (cream, patch, pill, or injection) can turn out to be a disaster for men (and doctors) who don’t know all about hormones and how they work.  You must block estrogen using an aromatase inhibitor or you risk breast development and many other problems!  In my practice, I see tons of guys who complained to their doctors about low sex drive, and they were promptly given a sample and prescription for a year’s worth of cream.  This is much worse than if you did nothing!   I single out Androgel, because it is the most common offender of boobs (in the gym they are always called “Bitch Tits”) in men because of the convenient pump.  That convenience quickly turns to more than an inconvenience!  Does anyone have the number of that plastic surgeon that does breast reduction in men?  1 800 No Estrogen Blocker.

The Testosterone Cascade

The Aromatase Enzyme-  (see the left side of the diagram) Here’s how testosterone is converted to active metabolites some good – some bad (for men).  It is the estradiol that causes many problems for men, not just “man boobs”, but it can cause bloating, emotional outbursts, tears, depression, love of the color pink , and leads to loss of the ability to keep an erection (ED).  The sad part is, the testosterone does increase desire and erections, but the estrogen makes it impossible to do anything.  I am not a conspiracy freak, but I wonder if Androgel and Viagra have teamed up on the men of this world? 

Diet Testosterone – if you look at this picture for two minutes solid – you won’t eat for a week and you will lose weight.

Look for my upcoming blog on synthetic and natural estrogen blockers – they really are the power behind any good testosterone treatment plan.

Time counts,

Exercise - there is no substitute for fitness when it comes to sexual performance

Not only must you have the energy that exercise can bring to your body and life, you need the strength to perform.  Abdominal strength and arm strength play a large role in how well you hold up in your bedroom.  Of course, without aerobic capacity gained though hard work – you simply will run out of breath before your partner does! 

Women

The aim of Kegel exercises is to fortify muscle tone by strengthening the pubococcygeus muscles(PC) of the pelvic floor.

So overall body tone makes a big difference, but what about inner muscle strength?  Most women know about pelvic muscle floor weakness – responsible for urinary leakage when sneezing, or straining – common after having a baby.  Well, these muscles are responsible for sexual pleasure, and enhance orgasmic contractions.  A Kegel exercise, named after Dr. Arnold Kegel, consists of contracting and relaxing the muscles that form part of the pelvic floor (sometimes called the “Kegel muscles”).  If you work on the PC, you can really make your sex life even better for yourself and your partner.

The Fawcet Test to measure your PC progress

1.  When your bladder is full bladder go to the bathroom and start to urinate, then quickly tighten your pc muscle and stop the flow of urine.  2.  Release and start to urinate again and repeat.

The Japanese  iGallop “Abdominal Strengthener”  Cost to be taken for a ride $250.00.

This iGallop machine actually mimics the actions of riding a horse, and might have some benefit to the abdominals.  Probably the most value of the iGallop would be if you practice your Kegel exercises  while on the horse!  If you can strengthen your pelvic floor – orgasms are easier and more intense.    Aerobic exercise performed at high intensity for 20 minutes not only releases natural antidepressant in your brain, but adds a measure of testosterone, estrogen, and even human growth hormone  for your body!  You not only look good, you are good when you exercise regularly and vigorously.  Of course, you need proper nutrition, all the hormones, and targeted vitamins and minerals http://ivitaminscience.com to make everything work the best.

The Men

Golf Digest stated, Camilo is the “most ripped player on the PGA Tour”

It wasn’t Kegel exercises that has helped Camilo Villegas sculpt his body and swing, it was the exercise called  the “Russian twist” that did it.   The Russian Twist strengthens the lower back and shoulders and promotes separation between the upper body and lower body. Lie back on a physio ball and hold a dumbbell with two hands overhead. Rotate your upper body from side to side, rolling onto your shoulders.   Camilo has won about $4 Million dollars in his pro golfing career and his workout routine has provided him with the edge he needs to win on the course, and most likely helps him in dealing with all the women chasing him home from the links.

Kegel Exercises for Men has multiple advantages!

Some Kegel masters claim it is possible for men to train this area strong enough to have orgasms without ejaculation, so they can have “multiples’ and they can last longer.   Some men report that they have less problems with erectile dysfunction (ED) when they strengthen their pelvic muscles.  Men spend so much time at the gym working on their body muscles, but they often ignore their pubococcygeus  -the same muscle that is weak in women. In fact, most men don’t even know about the pubococcygeus, though its role during male orgasm is hard to ignore. The pubococcygeus ( PC muscle) can be strengthened to improve sex – power, length, and can be exercised without any equipment.

Here are 3 ways to strengthen the PC muscle, men!  1.While standing with knees slightly bent, pretend you are holding a coin between the muscles of your buttocks and grip it tightly. 2.With penis flaccid, try to lift the scrotum and retract the penis by contracting the muscles. 3. Use the muscles to stimulate stopping urination and then starting again.  The exercises should be performed as many as 90 times a day, and at least three to four weeks are required to have an affect.

“Love Love”  – Tennis Anyone? Everyone!  Good Exercise leads to Stinky Shoes and Great Sex, so don’t wait – lace up, and get active in any sport (and do those Kegels too.)

Horny Goat Weed – (this is just a picture of a goat,  the herb comes from the ground )

This amazing Chinese herb has almost mythical powers, and has been used by practitioners around the world for over 2,000 years to restore sexual desire and to boost performance in the bedroom.   Known as Yin Yang Huo, this herb’s method of action has not been well described, yet it is felt that it boosts nitrous oxide when the dried leaves that contain sterols like magnaflorine, are consumed.  Just two to four capsules of a good quality horny goat weed product should really get your juices going and put some punch back in your game.

Smoking Horny Goat Weed is not recommended, it can make you wear silly hats.  There are people who are eating and smoking this weed, and both ideas are bad.  You will stink in bed and stink in general from the smoke.  Just pick a quality brand of HGW and take the capsules as directed.

Don’t stink, take Zinc!  (and Vitamin E)

Vitamin E sometimes is called the “sex vitamin” as it plays an important role in  the male and female sexual experience.  During the sexual intercourse (coitus) both clitoris and penis require additional quantity of oxygen, which is delivered with blood. Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) helps blood cells to transport oxygen quickly and effectively, avoiding thus the process of oxidation. Vitamin E plays influences greatly a pituitary body which controls the work of genitals. If there is an insufficient amount of zinc in a man, they will not have sex desire, cannot keep an erection, nor will they produce sperm that are healthy or in sufficient  number – basically their potency will be lower. In the course of time the body partly loses ability to acquire zinc with nutrition. The lack of zinc can cause serious problems for men and all nutrients and co-factors need to be in good supply to remain healthy and vital.

Cnidum Monnier

This popular sex stimulator  herb is often found in combination with other botanicals in natural erection booster formulations.  It grows in China, Russia, Europe, and now in Oregon, USA.  It is a bitter herb, that often is found growing in ditches, and wasteland that increases nitric oxide release while inhibiting PDE-5 (like Viagra) which means healthy erections that last a long time.  Most all products that contain this and related herbs, call themselves “natural viagra” but they clearly are not.   Products include this herb with other botanicals including ginseng, tribulus, and arginine to name just a few and market their product well, preying on guys who feel a tremendous urge to solve their problem. 

Nothing Fake Here – Cameron is a Natural Aphrodisiac!

“Sex is the best!  You have to really enjoy being sexy. Not fake anything. Sexy is being in the moment, whether that means being coy or coming on hard. Faking is always lame and it never comes across the way you want it to.”– Cameron Diaz, actress and model

“Strips or Steel?” – There’s a sucker born every minute with ED apparently

Since these products are considered dietary supplements, and treated as food, they don’t have to meet any standards that drugs must to be sold.  So be wary of products that promise too much, you know the ones with the fancy labels, as they usually don’t bring anything to the table (or your bedroom!)  Actually the only thing that gets bigger is the wallet of the guy you are sending your money to.

Sun, Sleep, and Fresh Air – in the end, you need to lower your stress, and enjoy your life

Without doubt best aphrodisiacs are sun, a good sleep and fresh air. A good sleep is necessary for the body to pack itself up, to increase its energy and revitalize its hormones. Sun light is a powerful doping for our body including sexual hormones. The main reason of men’s vitality in holidays is being relaxed in fresh air.  So, if you want to keep your dog in the hunt, it pays to take in proper nutrition, add supplements, exercise,  keep your priorities in order, and let go of the nasty habit of not smelling the roses as life goes by. 

Time Matters,
