Is male and female sexual performance possible with natural herbs and nutrients as opposed to a drug? There are quite a number of natural herbal pills that may just do the trick... and many of them are currently sold without a prescription. It is truly amazing that so many of these herbs that have been known for centuries in their local region and countries but are yet to be studied or accepted by Western medical doctors. While the media focuses on Viagra and its cousins for treatment of impotence, dozens of potent herbs from China, India, and South America are ignored. Some of these herbs are found in Passion Rx. The potent herbal extracts in  include Ashwagandha, barberry, Catuaba, Cnidium, Herba Cistanches, Horny Goat-Weed, Maca, Muira puama, Passion flower, Tongkat Ali LJ100, Tribulus and Yohimbe.
   We would like to give some practical advice regarding sexual herbs. They usually take a few days to show their effectiveness. If your dosage is too high you could notice having too much energy and having a tough time falling asleep. Begin with low dosages and be patient. If you feel you have taken too high a dosage, take a break for a  day or two and resume at half of the dosage you were originally taking.

There are ive important areas involved in female and male sexual performance:

Psychological / mental
Poor sexual performance is often related to depression, marital stress or relationship problems, life crisis, financial difficulties, religious repression, or some type of mental illness. Sexual performance is possible through various forms of therapy, stress release, vacation, etc. Men who lose their job often feel inadequate and could temporarily lose their urge.

Hormonal influence on male and female sexual performance -- Androgens, such as testosterone, are a major component of good sexual performance. Testosterone levels decline about 1 percent each year in men, which may contribute to lower male libido with aging. Testosterone also declines with age in women leading to a decrease in female libido. Women who have had surgical removal of the ovaries notice a drop in sexual interest. Sexual performance through replacement of androgens can be helpful in those with age related sexual dysfunction. Testosterone is available by prescription only. An over the counter hormones, such as DHEA, converts into testosterone and thus has a positive influence on libido. Hormones may not be safe to use for long term  enhancement of sexual performance, therefore aphrodisiac herbs are a great alternative.

Vascular -- Alterations in the flow of blood to and from the penis are thought to be a common cause of male erectile dysfunction. For instance, medical conditions such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), high cholesterol, hypertension, or diabetes reduce blood flow to the penis and genital organs thus leading to difficulty with erection or genital swelling. Proper diet and exercise can reduce the risk. Additional factors that can impede blood flow include penile injury, surgery in the pelvic or abdominal area, and sitting on a bicycle too long. Men who log several thousand miles a year on their mountain bikes suffer scrotal damage that could reduce their fertility.  Some of these health problems, if treated appropriately, can lead to sexual enhancement.

Neural -- Nerve damage from disorders such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke affect the brain’s ability to respond to sexual stimulation. In women, abdominal or pelvic operations can occasionally lead to nerve damage. Sexual performance problems are common in men undergoing surgical treatment for prostate enlargement or cancer.

Does vasectomy influence ability?

Chemical influence on female and male sexual performance -- Some chemicals involved in the human sexual response and libido include dopamine, acetylcholine, and nitric oxide. Sexual performance is quite likely through manipulation of these brain chemicals by using natural herbs and supplements.

Sexual performance and Medical conditions
Certain medical conditions reduce libido or enjoyment. These include hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, and neurologic disorders, and insomnia.

Drugs that interfere with Sexual enhancement
Drugs that cause low sexual performance include some anti-hypertensives, SSRIs, sedatives, sleeping pills, and beta-blockers. Alcohol's negative affect on libido increases with age. Smoking can reduce genital blood flow.

Sexual performance drug
There are several sexual performance drugs including Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. These drugs work very well in dilating blood vessels leading to a strong erection, however they do little else for sexual enhancement, such as libido, sensation, and sexual stamina. Plus, they have side effects. It has been reported that Viagra in rare cases can cause permanent blindness. Sexual performance supplements are, as a rule, much safer. Which is the best sexual performance drug? This is difficult to say since each person has their own preference.

Flibanserin, a drug intended for treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder in pre-menopausal women, affects spontaneous motor activity and brain neurochemistry in female rats.
Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol. 2010. Ferger B, Ceci A, Ittrich C, Allers KA, Sommer B. CNS Diseases Research, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG, Birkendorfer Strasse, Biberach, Germany.
Flibanserin, a 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist and 5-HT(2A) receptor antagonist, is being developed for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in pre-menopausal women. Here, we investigated the effects of acute administration of flibanserin (15 and 45 mg/kg, p.o.) and the selective 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist (+)-8-OH-DPAT (1 mg/kg, i.p.) on neurotransmitter levels in brain areas of female rats. Specifically, levels of dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) and neurotransmitter metabolites were examined in prefrontal cortex (PFC), nucleus accumbens, hypothalamus and brain stem using high performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrochemical detection. In addition, spontaneous motor activity was determined in an automated motor activity system. Flibanserin (45 mg/kg) but not (+)-8-OH-DPAT significantly reduced motor activity, when compared to vehicle controls. Specifically, the DA turnover was significantly increased (279%) in the PFC after flibanserin treatment but less pronounced (159%) after 8-OH-DPAT administration. Serotonin tissue levels were not altered in any of the investigated brain regions upon flibanserin treatment. However, flibanserin produced a significant decrease of the major serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and 5-HT turnover in the PFC, nucleus accumbens, hypothalamus and brain stem similar to (+)-8-OH-DPAT. In conclusion, the present study indicates that flibanserin is able to modulate dopaminergic and serotonergic activity in distinct brain areas. The observed effects in the PFC on dopaminergic markers are different from those induced by (+)-8-OH-DPAT and may contribute to its therapeutic efficacy in HSDD.

Q.  Have received Spam mail and seen on web sites sexual performance pills or sexual performance products that the vendors say are guaranteed to increase the size of your penis.  The ingredients seem to be the common supplements spoken about with regard to penile health.   Is there any substance to these claims and these pills lead to sexual enhancement?
   A. We have gotten similar emails. We are not aware of any sexual performance pills that permanently increase the size of a penis, but we are 100 percent certain that many herbal combinations do have sexual performance enhancement properties.
