Home made remedy
to overcome soft penile erection.

Dear Jacqui,
Please suggest some home made remedy or medicine which may be available to overcome soft penile erection causing non-penetration in a 55 year old male. I cannot use Viagra. And is it true that diet can improve sexual performance?
Oscar.

Dear Oscar:
Many dynamics come into play in sexual performance. Your current state of health as well as your health history, your emotional well being and yes, your diet too can have an influence on the vascular system of your sexual organs.

Too many animal fats are not good for any of the vascular systems in your body.

There are a couple of basic rules to improve sexual desire and performance. A healthy diet is number one, have at least five portions of fruit and green vegetables daily to improve your general health.

Regular exercise is next requirement. It stimulates your hormone levels and releases seratonin that improves your general sense of well being and gives you increased desire and energy.

When it comes to nutritional and vitamin formulations to inprove libido and sexual performance our readers have very different opinions depending on their experiences with various over-the-counter formulas.

It is hard to find reliable data for the many natural remedies and supplements that claim to improve sexual performance. As you probably know, this class of products are not regulated by the FDA.

Several readers have told us that Siberian Ginseng seems very effective in improving sexual performance and we heard that a potion called "Erect X" containing Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) which is an ingredient in Viagra seems to work well.

It is a herbal supplement which also contains other ingredients that supposedly enhance the neurotransmitters and increase the body's natural production of testosterone.

We are told it works in a similar manner as Viagra does but is based on natural ingredients. Unfortunately nobody we know has actually used the product so you might have to do a little research yourself.

Furthermore, we want to tell you that even so it is a herbal product it might not be right for you. We suggest strongly that you discuss the matter with a nutritional specialist before self-medicating. Some herbal products are quite potent and may represent certain health risks.

Finally, the saying "use it or loose it" is very real. Being sexually active stimulates all the sexual organs and usually improves performance. If your problem persist, we advise you see a doctor and have your hormone levels checked.
