Ten Tips for Boosting Testosterone & Having Better Sex

 

  1. Pump up: It’s a fact that men (and women) who regularly engage in weight training effectively boost their overall health, bone and muscle density, and testosterone levels. Resistance exercise, 3-5 times per week, for 30-45 minutes sessions, stimulates a man’s (natural, or endogenous) anabolic/androgenic metabolism, which is chiefly fueled by testosterone. Testosterone also plays an essential role in libido, spontaneous and quality erections, penile sensitivity and overall sexual performance. The more muscle a man has the more testosterone his body is likely to produce to nourish and maintain that muscle.
  2. Die it out: The #1 cause for erectile dysfunction and hormonal imbalances is smoking. Smoking destroys the integrity of the blood vessels that circulate fresh blood supplies into the organs of the body, including the penis. Without blood surging into the penis, a man will not become, or remain erect. Male smokers (falsely) believe prescription erection pills will assist them with their waning bedroom performances. But statistics indicate that as high as 60% of men who use prescription erection pills are either unable to obtain, or sustain their erections, or get very sick trying.
  3. Chow down: Protein contains nutritional constituents called amino acids. These are the microscopic power sources that are essential for building muscle, strengthening the cardiovascular and nervous systems, boosting immunity, and nourishing a man’s sexual-reproductive system, to name a few. Eggs, chicken, turkey, fish and lean red meats are excellent sources of protein to add to your meals. Combined with resistance exercise, the testosterone-boosting / sex-enhancing benefits from a diet rich in high-quality proteins are impressive.
  4. Calm down: The testicles produce most of a man’s testosterone, approximately 95%. What many do not know, or regard as significant, is that the adrenals produce the other 5%. In comparison to the number 95, the number ‘5’ may seem low, or insignificant, but for the man experiencing Low-T, hypogonadism or Andropause, that 5% is often that extra androgenic boost a man needs to A) spontaneously achieve an erection, B) sustain the erection long enough to please his partner, C) experience heightened sensitivity which results in great pleasure and a powerful orgasm, D) be ready to repeat the entire erection-to-orgasm cycle as quickly as possible and E) maintain a favorable muscle-to-ratio profile. The adrenals become hyper-active when consistently responding to stress. So, over time, the adrenals become exhausted and depleted, producing less and less androgenic testosterone. Millions of men suffering erectile dysfunction are merely deficient in adequate supplies of testosterone (i.e., andropause) due to the deleterious consequences of stress. These men have the ‘parts‘ to perform sex, they simply lack the ‘fuel‘. Learning to relax in stressful situations eases the activity of the adrenals that, in turn, helps to maintain a healthier testosterone level. Save your T for the bedroom and gym, and don’t waste it driving through rush-hour traffic.
  5. Trim the fat: It’s a statistical fact that obese men are more likely to achieve hormonal imbalances. When men accumulate excess fat they’re likely to concurrently produce less testosterone and more estrogen; an undesirable ratio. From bulging love-handles to protruding breast-like chests with female-looking nipples, to more flaccid penises, men become feminized simply by adding too much fat onto their body. One of my sayings is “Estrogen loves fat while testosterone loves muscle”. The more muscle a man has the more testosterone he’s likely to manufacturer.
  6. No rules: Many guys march into the bedroom with specific rules of engagement, previous ‘best’ performances to exceed, or the mere intention to prove they’re the best man their partner has ever had. Especially for the aging male, that mindset can instigate varying levels of performance anxiety forcing that man to tap-out long before he can ever make-out. Anxiety has been shown to be highly responsible for crippling sexual performances. Take it slow and easy. Calm down and scrap the rules book. And remember that many women love a man who ‘takes his time’. According to many sexperts, taking it slow enables a man to fully enjoy every second they’re lucky enough to be in a lovemaking experience.
  7. Check with your doctor: Medical advice is always suggested to any person who is experiencing hormonal and health challenges, and this includes men with sexual dysfunctions. But before you schedule an appointment make sure your doctor is, 1) educated in nutrition and 2) understands the complex science of male [hormonal] sexuality. If your doctor qualifies visit with him once or twice a year for regular check-ups and request a complete hormonal blood panel and prostate exam. As youngsters, men didn’t have to be concerned about their ‘little buddies’ but as men age predicable hormonal, genital and sexual challenges may ensue. Be a wise guy!
  8. Say ‘Goodbye’ to Five-Finger Mary: Excessive masturbation desensitizes a man’s penis, lowers his sperm count, and could strain the functionality of his prostate. Men who masturbate incessantly may also develop distorted sexual-psychological behavior patterns; Internet porn has exasperated this form of sexual addiction. It’s also known that many men are fully capable, and successful, of achieving an erection and an orgasm on their own but they become impotent when attempting to engage in sex with a partner. Many experts believe these performance-stopping reactions are created by  the thought-sensation response that has (again) become distorted, or perverted, while many of these men have conditioned themselves to believe it’s easier, faster, less embarrassing, and (oftentimes) safer to have sex with oneself than it is to have sex with another person. Refraining from or, at least, limiting, self-sex enables a man to fully enjoy himself when he has that special partner lying next to him!
  9. Bottom’s down: Excess alcohol consumption, and all prescription drugs, cause side effects. The statistics are staggering of men who are becoming impotent and/or experiencing severe hormonal deficiencies as a result of intoxicating themselves. The body, and its organs, simply cannot manage the abuse and, over time, they will break down. The first organ to often shutdown is the penis, and no matter how much stimulation or how potent the prescription erection pills are these men struggle to get it up, or keep it up.
  10. Nutritional Supplementation: It’s nearly impossible to obtain all of the nutrition an active man needs merely from food alone. Men, with all their muscles and active lifestyles, combined with the fact that they want to remain sexually active, must nourish their sexual-reproductive (androgenic) systems which includes many glands like the pituitary, hypothalamus, adrenals, testicles, and prostate. High-quality protein foods, fresh fruits and vegetables and natural sources of starchy (complex) carbohydrates are the winning combination!

Good Luck!

HeF: Our Playboy’s nickname

It’s a Thursday night, approaching 10:00 pm. I’m slumped atop my recliner, ottoman comforting my feet, exhausted after a long day. Remote control in hand, perusing my DVR recordings. I like those storage and pawn shows. So with a few beers to hydrate myself, a can of salted mixed nuts, and a bowl of pretzels within arm’s reach, I click “Play” to watch the latest episode featuring rare Civil War relics.

The instant I stretched over to grab my second beer the phone rings, “Hey numb nuts“, that’s what my crazy-ass x-roommate, Frank, calls me when, in his mind, he thinks he’s got something extraordinary to offer me.

Franks’ quite the lady’s man, to say the least. We call him ‘HeF’; an obvious connotation to Hefner, because the initials for his nickname are HF. In our minds, he’s not just Frank, he’s Horny Frank. His lifestyle characterizes ‘Playboy’ to the truest sense of the word, and would certainly impress the real Hef.

“Get your fat ass off that couch and over to Mario’s”, Frank shouts inside the crowded and loud Mario’s. “The place is packed. And Joey, Tommy and me are sitting at a bachelorette party’s table. These chicks are all already drunk, so your cheap ass doesn’t have to worry about spending a friggin penny bro!”

Mario’s is a cool place to hangout. It’s quite a drive but they got cheap drinks and I can eat all the salted nuts and pretzels I want. The place always has some kinda private party going on, and the babes regularly out-number the guys.

Before I get a chance to say ‘boo’, Frank hangs up. I could tell the guys are having a great time but, to be honest, I’m getting too old for this nightlife stuff, especially during the week when I have to work the next day. But as corrupting as he is, Frank does motivate me to socialize more than I would on my own and, occasionally, we all get ‘lucky’; if you know what I mean???

If it were up to me, like Frank blurted out, I would bury my ass on my couch, drink beer and stuff my face all night till I crashed.

I’m Irish and the guys are Italian. We’re all horny, but Frank is on another level. He’s always scored with the chicks; and Joey, Tommy and me customarily end up having a blast just being part of Frank’s wild and crazy escapades.

Awhile back, even though there’s-no-way-in-this-lifetime-he-needed-it, Frank enrolled in this on-line course called ‘Pick Up Artist’; PUA for short. When he completed that course you’d think the friggin guy graduated Harvard or won the lottery. He was so gung-ho on mastering, more like proving, his new techniques. And ‘master’ he is.

I listened to Frank, cleaned up in a rush, and since I had started drinking, waved a taxi to take me to Mario’s. (That was the only money I ended up spending that night, thanks to Frank.)

Vow Wow

So I end up at Mario’s. The place is rockin; guess I’m the only person in town interested in Civil War relics. I see Joey first then Tommy. They’re both laughing hysterically pointing at the bachelorette party’s table; not ‘at’ the table, they’re pointing ‘under’ it.

As I bent over to look under the table I thought maybe one of the babes wasn’t wearing any panties and the guys wanted me to see who was showing off her beaver. But it wasn’t just a beaver, it was the bride-to-be. She was the one the guys were pointing to under the table, she was totally naked and sucking off the male stripper; great way to pay honor to her upcoming marriage???

Even though Mario’s gets really wild at times, tonight hit an all-time high. And just take a guess who the friggin stripper was? It was Frank! He sweet-talked the maid of honour into letting him be their exotic dancer; making a deal he’d strip butt naked and dance for her best friends’ bachelorette party in return for a few ‘favors’; wink, wink, wink; or as it ended up Joey, Tommy and me. Frank’s just that type of character; a master PUA, and he gets away with this type of shit all the time; while Joey, Tommy and me just forage up all the left-over’s.

When the bride-to-be is done servicing Frank he tells her, “Hey honey! You gotta take care of my brothers now.” as he points to all three of us, “This is the last time you’ll ever be able to have this much fun before you vow to a life of monogamy!”

I won’t speak for Joey or Tommy, but I wasn’t going there, and Frank knew it. Even though he has as many sexual morals as you can count of one, fingerless, hand, Frank let me slide on this one. Plus, he knew Father O’Callahan would choke me silly inside the confessional on Sunday if he found out I had sex with a bride-to-be.

So, instead, Frank reluctantly agrees with me for the first time in my life and turns his attention to the maid of honour he cut his deal with. “Hey honey, it’s your turn to repay those favors you agreed to. Take care of my three little brothers for the great entertainment I’m giving your best friend and bride-to-be, and we’ll call it even!”

So there I was, plumped across my recliner getting ready to learn about some rare Civil War relics, drinking beers and stuffing my face with nuts and pretzels, and I end up getting laid by the maid of honour under a table at Mario’s. This is your classic HeF story.

Our Happy Ending

It’s almost 2:00 am when the lights flicker on then off then ON; Mario’s is closing. I hitch a ride home from Frank. He was still fired up, he wanted more, “Hey, Hot Shot’s is open til 5. Let’s swing over there for a couple hours!”. I told him just to take me the f—k home; I was worn out and completely satisfied how things turned out tonight.

As we drove all he did was reminisce every little tiny detail of tonight’s bachelorette party; and when I say detail I mean ‘detail’. He bragged how terrific a PUA he was while emphasizing how great a brother he was for sharing his babes with the PUAs ‘Wingmen’. Wingmen are the PUAs low-life sidekicks who don’t have the balls to approach girls on their own but who stand in the wings; positioned off to the sides, in the background, and who ultimately get laid because they’re all in on some giant sexual conspiracy.

While we’re driving and he’s running his mouth, Frank starts to have trouble clearing his throat, his mouth and throat are obviously worn out. I tell him, “Why the f–k don’t you shut up and save your voice. You gotta get up for work too in a couple of hours.” He asks me to reach into his glove compartment and get him the box of lozenges. As I reached inside I noticed this bottle that was obviously some kind of vitamin supplement or nutritional formula. I picked it up, read the label and ask, “Frank, what’s this?”

For the first time all night Frank started muttering, pretending he desperately needs that throat lozenge; obviously not wanting me to know what he was concealing from all of us. He kept trying to divert me from asking again, using distracting gestures and trying to change the subject like pointing out the window and saying, ‘Hey bro! That’s the new Vette. It’s loaded. Fastest one Chevy’s ever made. That bitch can clock out at 200 mile per hour!”

“Screw you Frank. Quit changing the subject. Yohimbine? Tribulus? Epimedium? Isn’t that stuff called ‘Horney Goat Weed’ too? Like you need to get more horney!” as I read the label ingredients and try to get him to respond.

I’m asking him what this stuff is but I know what this stuff is. I’m holding the friggin bottle in my hand and just finished reading the label. My beef isn’t that I found a nutritional formula in his glove box; my beef is that Frank never told us about it. He’s breaking one of our brotherly codes of honor. He always tells Joey, Tommy and me we’re the only (three) people on the planet he tells ‘everything’ to; but he’s obviously hiding this stuff from us.

“I can read Frank. Male Performance? Stamina? Energy? This label reads exactly like your resume! You never told Tommy, Joey or me about this. Some brother you are. Why are you holding out? Is this what’s making you so friggin horny all the time?”

Realizing I’m not letting up and can give a shit about 200 mph Vette’s, Frank gives in a bit and discloses he’s been using this herbal formula for a little over a year. In addition to his daily protein shakes he uses this stuff to nourish his ‘other’ muscle, as he sarcastically refers to it. Frank blurts out in typical Frank style, “It’s like taking steroids for my dick and balls, but this stuff is all-natural and safe. I wanted to make sure it worked for me before I let you and the guys in on this. Does that make you happy now?”

I respond, “Oh, so now you’re our crash test dummy? Your PUA course and now steroids for your family jewels are all for us? You’re so full of shit, you weren’t gonna tell us; I know it. You said you’ve been using this for over a year. How long does it take for you to know if that Italian sausage of yours is working better?”

I kept laying into him because he knows I don’t eat well and have had some health issues lately. I could really use something nutritious in my life. Frank’s always digging into me for all the weight I’ve gained, how shitty I’m playing these days when we go 2-on-2 on the basketball court, and he knows I’ve lost a lot of my passion, motivation and desire.

Frank always tries to teach us his PUA techniques but they only work when you want them to work; when you have the energy and motivation to make them work. A couch potato like me isn’t ever gonna be a successful PUA. So I think I could really benefit from this stuff. It seems so simple. Just pop a pill. That’s something I’m willing to commit to, especially if it makes me feel, and perform, a fraction as good as Frank does.

Frank continues, “It helps me get hard lightning quick, and stay hard. My erections have all the babes screaming. That’s why they crave me, and my Italian sausage. And the best part is after I’m done cumming I can do it all over again. These herbs are great by themselves but when mixed together into this formula, it’s magic bro, and it does everything the label says it does, and MORE!”

I ask, “How much hornier do you want to get Frank? You’ve already screwed every single girl in this town now you’re going to get us all killed by screwing the married ones.”

“Correction!” Frank says, “Soon-to-be-married. She hasn’t committed to her vows yet. Father O’Callahan would let you slide for that one!”

“You’re sick man. Come on, tell me; where I can get this stuff? If it weren’t for you I’d be telling the guys at work later today stories about rare Civil War relics. I’m sure they’ll enjoy my HeF-at-Mario’s story much better!”

BTW

By the way, I’m Mickey. An Irish Catholic who still goes to church on Sundays. I used to be an alter boy, now I’m a paltry Wingman; Frank has had more influence on my life than Father O’Callahan.

As you can tell, I enjoy boasting about the adventures we have with Frank. There’s plenty more HeF stories I’ll share with you later, but that’s the latest, and craziest one for now.

Hope I wasn’t out of line with my fowl language but trust me, Frank, Tommy and Joey are much worse.

It was nice to talk to you!

Mental Attitude and SEX!

(A brief excerpt)

I detail in my book Ultimate Sexual Health & Performance™ that a person’s thinking mind exerts a significant (and dominating) influence on the health and performance of their sexual-reproductive system, especially their genitals. For men, it’s their penises, testicles and prostate. For women, it’s their vagina, ovaries and clitorises.

When a person is mentally positive, confident and emotionally relaxed it’s natural, and easy, for them to become aroused and fulfill their sexual desires. Men obtain firm long-lasting penile erections and sensitivity; women obtain highly sensitive clitoral erections and vaginal lubrication. However, when a person is depressed and anxious, chances of getting aroused and reaching an orgasm drops dramatically. An anxious, depressed, and stressed man will have as much difficulty obtaining or sustaining an erection than it is for him to bench press 500 pounds, for repetitions. An anxious, depressed, and stressed woman won’t vaginally lubricate, her clitoris will become irritated with even modest degrees of stimulation and she’ll have difficulty achieving an orgasm.

In addition, anxiety, negative thinking and depression causes a dramatic drop in the production and secretion of many health-yielding hormones, including, testosterone. Testosterone from a man’s testicles, the ovaries in women, and the adrenals in both sexes, while concurrently creating estrogen imbalances. Hormonal discrepancies ignite all sorts of sexual and performance dysfunctions in both sexes that include loss of desire, orgasmic difficulties, ED, vaginal irritation, low sperm count, increases in body fat and loss of muscle energy and strength.

In Chapter 10: Sex on the Brain, amongst many other sexual health-enhancing topics, this section of the book introduces my readers to the art of exchanging negative health-destroying thoughts with positive health-promoting thoughts that condition the mind to become more relaxed and positive, and are designed to aid one in realizing better consistency and higher levels of enjoyment for all their sexual experiences!

Many times a person complaining about a sexual challenge is ‘physically’ okay; it’s what and how they’re thinking that turns pleasure into pain.

Andropause: From Sad to Glad

Ultimate Performance

Ultimate Performance

Astonishingly, statistics reveal that many men are (and have been) slowing down. I’m not referring to the speed at which they can physically run or their intellectual ability to quickly calculate a hand in Blackjack. Rather, it’s their overall health and, especially, their sexual abilities that are waning, and it’s not only from old age.

Simply put, many men are slowing down, while millions of others are stuck in pause mode; know referred to Andropause: Andro is short for androgen, referring to male hormones, while pause simply means a cessation. (Some other titles include impotence, hypogonadism, viropause, male menopause, ED, Low T, and others.)

Men don’t need a doctor to tell them that they’re low in sexual desire, and they don’t need to undergo fancy, expensive tests to prove they “can’t get it up.” Guys with ED already know that. Doctors are needed to ascertain hormonal deficiencies then implement strategic lifestyle modifications and proper nourishment that will methodically “unpause” sexually deficient men.

When men experience andropause, in their minds, this is their mid-life crisis. And because most men have been brainwashed into this mid-life crisis thing, men, like women who deal with menopause, regard declines in their health and sexuality as the normal and inevitable we-can’t-do-anything-about-it fact of aging.

But that mindset is no longer true. Maybe it was decades ago, when these sciences weren’t very well understood. But like everything else – computers, aviation, electronics, automotives and most other technologies – the sciences that locate and remedy human sexual health disorders have also advanced and, ironically, have directed us back to Mother Nature instead of some synthetic laboratory experiment.

Unfortunately, a lot of this information has not become available to the mainstream – unless, of course, you read my book Ultimate Sexual Health & Performance. Similar to menopause in women, andropause is a decline or imbalance in the male endocrine (or hormonal) system that inevitably manifests as ED, or erectile dysfunction and loss of libido. Statistics show that this is a serious and growing male health concern, made obvious by the escalating sales of erection pills that are being sold to desperate men. Andropause relentlessly decreases the quality of a man’s life, oftentimes having a negative impact on his family and career.
