Super Sex Every Time
Brigitte Mars
Naropa University
Couples who enjoy sex regularly tend to live longer than those who
rarely or never have sex. Sexual activity purges congestion from the
prostate gland and relieves pain by stimulating the release of
endorphins.
Yet millions of Americans struggle to have satisfying sex, or any sex,
because of physical limitations. Medications can help with problems
such as an inability to get erections or vaginal dryness, but they
don't always work -- and can carry the risk for side effects.
Better: Natural remedies that improve energy and libido as well as
sexual performance. In my 40 years of specializing in herbal medicine,
I have found them to be quite effective for many people. (The herbs
and supplements noted here are readily available at most health-food
stores and online.)
Lubrication
Vaginal dryness can be as problematic for a woman as erectile
dysfunction is for a man. Women naturally produce less moisture (in
the vagina, as well as in the eyes, skin and other parts of the body)
as they get older. But it's one of the easiest sexual problems to
correct -- and without the use of store-bought, chemical-filled
lubricants. Try one of the following remedies. If that doesn't work,
try another until you find what works best for you.
Barley water. Barley water is an emollient that also nourishes and
strengthens vaginal tissues. Cook two cups of light pearled barley in
10 cups of water for two hours. Strain, and reserve the water. Drink a
glassful three or four times a day between meals for at least three
weeks. If it helps, continue doing it. It can be kept in the
refrigerator for up to three days. (You can use the leftover barley in
soups and salads.)
Acidophilus. Dryness is sometimes caused by an overgrowth of vaginal
yeast. Before going to bed each night, insert a capsule of acidophilus
into the vagina. It inhibits yeast and helps the vagina produce more
lubrication.
Important: Don't use an enteric-coated capsule -- it won't dissolve
readily. Use an acidophilus gel capsule.
Chemical-free lubricant. Mix one ounce of softenend cocoa butter with
one tablespoon each of powdered dong quai (an herb in the parsley
family), licorice root and marshmallow root, along with one tablespoon
of powdered wild yam and two tablespoons of vitamin E oil.
Optional: Two drops of essential oil of rose for a pleasant aroma.
Roll the mixture into suppository shapes about the size of your little
finger. Store them in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to six
months. Insert one in the vagina daily before bedtime.
Low Libido
If your sex drive is lower than you (or your partner) would like...
Eat black foods. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the
kidneys govern sexual vitality. Foods with natural black color, such
as black olives, black sesame seeds, chia seeds and black beans,
strengthen the kidneys and improve sexual energy and performance.
Bonus: Black olives and chia increase the production of mucilage,
important for sexual lubrication.
Muira puama. This is a South American herb that traditionally is used
as an aphrodisiac and to improve erections as well as orgasms in men
and women. It's a warming herb that increases circulation. If you have
cold hands and/or feet, you probably have impaired circulation to the
genitals as well. Muira puama can help.
Dose: One-half cup of muira puama tea... or 10 to 30 drops of
tincture, mixed with an inch of water or taken straight, three times
daily. Also available in capsules. Natives of South America sometimes
apply the cooled tea directly to the genitals as a sexual stimulant.
DHEA, an over-the-counter hormonal supplement that's converted to
testosterone in the body, can increase libido and sexual
responsiveness in women and men.
Important: Improper dosing can cause acne, the growth of facial hair
in women and other side effects -- including an increased risk for
some cancers. Take DHEA only under the supervision of a doctor.
Erectile Dysfunction
The arteries that carry blood to the penis are just slightly wider
than the head of a pin. Even slight buildups of plaque
(atherosclerosis) can impede circulation and make it difficult for a
man to get and/or maintain an erection.
The same things that improve overall cardiovascular health, such as
lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, can improve a man's ability
to achieve an erection. Also helpful...
The Deer. This is a Taoist exercise that removes energy blockages,
stimulates hormone production and improves erections. Sit on the edge
of the bed, and rub your hands to warm them. Hold the scrotum with one
hand. With the other hand, massage right below the navel in a circular
motion. Do it 81 times, then switch hands and rub in the other
direction 81 times.
Follow this with 36 Kegel exercises, in which you tighten and then
release the pubococcygeus muscles -- the same muscles that you would
use to stop urine in midstream.
Foot massage. Once or twice a day, massage the entire foot, paying
particular attention to the sides of the heels. The meridians (energy
pathways) that support sexual potency run through this part of the
foot.
Yohimbe. Yohimbe bark extract is among the most effective natural
products for improving erections. It increases blood flow to the
genitals while at the same time impeding the flow of blood out of the
penis -- important for keeping an erection.
Dose: One cup of yohimbe tea... or 30 drops of tincture, mixed with an
inch of water or taken straight, 30 minutes to an hour before sex.
Also available in capsules.
Caution: Yohimbe can elevate blood pressure and cause insomnia. It
also interacts with many common drugs, including antihypertensives and
heart and diabetes medications. Use it only under the supervision of a
doctor and never more than twice a week.
Omega-3 fatty acids enhance circulation and help the nervous system
function better. Eat fish (such as salmon, tuna, sardines) twice per
week or supplement with fish oil (follow directions on the label).
Better Orgasms
Men and women who eat well, exercise regularly and are comfortable
with their bodies experience better and more frequent orgasms. Also
helpful...
Arginine. An amino acid called L-arginine is a vasodilator, which
means it helps to widen or open up blood vessels. Arginine cream can
be applied to the clitoris or penis before sex to increase arousal and
the intensity of orgasms. You also can take an oral capsule form to
increase blood flow to sexual organs. Follow directions on the label.
