1. Every Other TV ad
It seems like everywhere you turn these days, there is a newspaper, Internet or television ad for some form of sexual enhancement. These advertisements are generally directed at men and promote some sort of pill like the erectile dysfunction drugs Viagra and Cialis. There is also a host of other chemical sexual enhancements. While not as prevalent, sexual enhancement products do exist for women. These enhancements generally fall into two categories chemical and natural--each has its own benefits and drawbacks for both men and women.
2. Male Chemical Enhancement
The two primary chemical sexual enhancement products are Viagra and Cialis. Viagra came about by the accidental testing of a heart medication. This discovery created a multi-billion dollar sexual enhancement market for pharmaceutical companies. While millions of people take these chemical enhancements, the many possible side effects should make anyone think twice before seeking a prescription for these drugs from a doctor. Some are the possible side effects of these drugs are headaches, urinary tract infection, abnormal vision and diarrhea.
3. Female Chemical Enhancment
Female chemical sexual enhancements, instead of coming in the pill form like the male enhancements, are usually in the form of a cream. The cream is applicable to the vaginal area to increase blood flow and erotic sensations. Researchers have tried to develop a female form of Viagra, but so far have been met with mixed results for their efforts.
4. Au Natural
Natural enhancements are available for both men and women in the form of herbal supplements. Some of the natural options for male sexual enhancement are arginine, ginkgo biloba and Nettles. There are issues with these as well because ginko biloba can inhibit platelet functionality and arginine can be dangerous to anyone with an autoimmune disease because it enhances white blood cell activity. The herbal options for females are damiana, Chinese angelica and saw palmetto. While these herbs have no known side effects for women, their effectiveness is not as proven as are the herbal male counterparts.
5. Work it out
While all of the ads attempt to entice you into buying chemical sexual enhancement, the best enhancement is old-fashioned good health. Research has shown that regular exercise and proper diet can boot the sex drive effectively. This precludes a person from intruding chemicals into his or her body and has the added benefit of living a better overall lifestyle.
