OVERVIEW OF MALE MENOPAUSE
Utter the word menopause, and most people immediately picture the middle aged woman. It’s very unlikely that any American woman will reach her 40s without some knowledge of menopause lurking in her future. Pharmaceutical and herbal companies are wooing the woman, seeing her as a soon-to-be customer. She cannot help but be aware that she will experience at least some of the well known symptoms of menopause: hot flashes, moodiness, depression, insomnia, night sweats, thinning hair, vaginal dryness, and loss of libido. For all the attention given to women and their experiences with menopause, there is very little literature or advertising aimed toward the middle aged man. But men often do experience changes between the ages of 40 and 70 that are part of a phenomenon called andropause.
Like his female counterpart, the “menopausal” man may experience mood swings or irritability, thinning hair, loss of bone density, sleeplessness, weight gain due to shifting metabolism, and various sexual problems like decline in libido, difficulty achieving or maintaining erections, less than rigid erections, and decreased sensation. Yet, for a couple of reasons, male menopause has not received the same attention as female menopause, nor has help dealing with the symptoms been as easy to come by. When a woman experiences menopause, the most obvious sign of her fertility– her monthly cycle– ceases. This is obvious and measurable. Also, women are typically more open about discussing problems and willing to seek help from professionals and from peers. Men’s symptoms, on the other hand, are usually subtle and less noticeable. In addition, men are often expected to maintain a stoic attitude about problems they may be having. Men are less likely to consult with their physicians about symptoms that don’t seem life-threatening. It’s unfortunate that male menopause isn’t addressed with doctors, since there are steps a man can take to make his transition into his golden years more comfortable.
If people are aware of male menopause, that is, andropause, they are likely to believe it’s caused by a decline in testosterone. While the decline in testosterone levels is part of the problem, the whole situation is much more complicated than that. There is a mix of hormones and proteins in the male system that must be kept in balance for sexual health and optimal functionality. It’s the disruption of this balance as the man ages that is responsible for the symptoms of male menopause. For this reason, simply treating the menopausal man with testosterone may not be enough. Experts recommend that men dealing with shifting hormones should exercise, adhere to a healthy diet, monitor alcohol intake, and refrain from smoking. In addition, there are certain formulas men can take to readjust the balance of hormones necessary for well-being. Some of these treatments are by prescription only, while others are more along the herbal lines of treatment, and may be gotten without a doctor’s prescription.
A menopausal male should follow the same plan of attack as women have for decades: he should take care of himself, familiarize himself with what is going on inside his body, confide in friends who are experiencing the same symptoms, and consult a professional for advice on medication or supplements to address the imbalance in his aging body. Then he will be able to sail through his own change of life knowing that he has done all he can to help himself.

Other Than Herbal Components in Penis Pills : Drilizen and Solidilin.
On the penis pills market, the most advanced penis pills make use of two powerful active substances, giving the male enhancement pills their entire power. These two ingredients are called Drilizen and Solidilin. While completely natural, these two products are trademarked names, designed to protect the high valuable formulas used in penis enlargement pills and in semen volume booster pills. Found after extensive research, with proven effectiveness on the human body, these two ingredients allow two fundamental things : bigger and longer lasting erections, sexual motivation and quality improvement.
The first goal of Drilizen is to increase the release of nitric oxide. This will promote the dilatation of blood vessels. A faster blood flow will bring bigger and longer lasting erections. The nitric oxide will also help to relax the muscle that allows the blood to fill the spongy tissues (Corpora Cavernosa), optimizing the flood of blow into the penis. Another ingredient of Drilizen is the protodioscin. Protodioscin increases the secretion of a hormone regulating the flow of testosterone in the body. Protodioscin is also know as Puncture Vine or Tribulus Terristris. This is a plant that grows in tropical areas of the world and was used by the Greeks as a mood enhancer. This plant is reported to increase muscle, libido and male perfs.
While Drilizen has an effect on the body, Solidilin acts upon the psychological part of the sexual relation. Solidilin, along with Reishi and Musli, grow motivation and sexual pleasure. Solidilin also contains L-Dopa; L-Dopa is used by the body to produce dopamine – a powerful neurotransmitter involved with the sense of pleasure. Dopamine is e.g. produced when having sex, eating, drinking alcohol, taking drugs and so on… Studies on this product have been conducted by Malaysian scientists from the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, a division of the University of Sciences.
One Reason Men Are Not Able To Shoot Their Ejaculate
There are two reasons most men don’t naturally shoot their ejaculate. I’ll discuss one of those reasons in this article.
The first reason is because of the type of stimulation most men use to achieve orgasm.
A man has two primary approaches to stimulating himself to orgasm. The first, and most common approach, is focused on prostrate stimulation. The concept of “pounding” a woman during intercourse is nothing more than a man stimulating his prostrate.
The second approach to stimulation is focused on penis-head stimulation.
When a man is engaged in sexual intercourse, these two types of stimulation are usually blended together resulting in maximum pleasure. (This accounts for why most men are interested in intercourse over masturbation.)
When masturbating, the vast majority of men achieve orgasm primarily from prostrate stimulation – even though most of them don’t directly stimulate their prostrate.
What happens, is that as men stroke their penis shaft and/or their penis head, the majority of them either hit the base of their penis with their hand or they bend their penis, or they jerk on their penis as they stroke, all of which indirectly stimulate the prostrate. This leads to an orgasm that is based primarily on prostrate stimulation.
Early in a man’s sexual life, he will typically learn a given set of techniques that will bring him to orgasm. From then on, for the most part, he will use the same approach for the rest of his life.
For most men, masturbating in a way that stimulates the prostrate is initially more pleasurable and generally leads to orgasm more quickly – which explains why the majority of men initially learn to reach orgasm based on prostrate-based stimulation – as young men trying to figure it all out, they are trying to reach orgasm before someone catches them or starts wondering what’s going on.
And, because most men will tend to use the same technique they learned early on, few will ever experiment with other options.
To prove the sensitivity of prostrate stimulation, try “pounding” your woman during your next intercourse session (where your pelvic area – the area surrounding the base of your penis – is solidly hitting her body – but don’t hurt her – “doggy” style is a good position for this test) and see how quickly you start to feel those orgasmic feelings climbing. Then, continue stroking her but do not allow your pelvic area to hit her and notice that the orgasmic feelings either stop climbing or they may even subside slightly.
Now, the reason all of this is important is because there is a significant side-effect with a prostrate-induced orgasm. When orgasm is achieved through prostrate-based stimulation, the prostrate is so sensitive from the stimulation that the contractions that occur in order to expel semen (called the expulsion stage) are severely hampered.
As a point of comparison, it’s like tickling a ticklish person until they inadvertently urinate. They lose the control they normally have over their body functions because of the over-stimulation they feel from the tickling.
In the same way as the tickling analogy, when orgasm is reached by prostrate-based stimulation, your body is hampered in its ability to ejaculate because of the extent of stimulation.
If you would like to see this hampering effect in full force, have your woman masturbate your penis and simultaneously finger your rectum. As she fingers your rectum, she should focus her anal rubbing motions on the area that is between her finger(s) and your penis (which is where the prostrate is located).
While an orgasm in this fashion is very pleasurable, you will find that when you orgasm, you will have virtually no control over your ejaculation and your sperm will ooze and dribble out of you with even less force than you are used to. (In the absence of your woman, you can use a vibrator for the same effect.)

Ogoplex
I recently tried ogoplex, a supplement that originated in Europe. I had heard that ogoplex could make orgasms during sex better for men. Better doesn’t even begin to describe what ogoplex can do.
I’m sure most of you are familiar with a woman’s ability to have multiple orgasms. As men, we’re fairly spent after one. When I was younger, I could recover after a short rest and jump back in the saddle. However, as my age has progressed, that ability has diminished. In fact, before ogoplex, I used to roll over and fall asleep.
Not anymore.
Ogoplex allows me to have multiple, powerful orgasms…one right after another. I have never felt climaxes like this in my entire life. I have had more orgasms in one romantic encounter with my partner than I used to have in a week of sex. The amount of stamina I now have seems to be perpetuated by the feeling that I could go all night. Instead of ten seconds of pleasure, I reach a place I’ve never been before with continual, wonderful orgasms that I never thought possible. The effect on my partner has been nothing but positive, and she has repeatedly said that we are experiencing the best sex of our relationship. I’ve always enjoyed sex, but ogoplex has made me appreciate how great it can really be.
Guys, I don’t know about you, but if there is one thing in my life I could use more of, it would have to be money…followed closely by orgasms. In all seriousness, I never thought in a million years that my sex life could be this rewarding. I look forward to it more than ever and because it has made me a better lover, my partner is more than happy to oblige. What used to be a 15 minute affair now lasts all night, and I finally feel like I am pleasing her to the fullest extent possible. Not only that, I feel like a new man. When you are able to enjoy sex as I have been recently, it puts a whole new perspective on time spent with your lover.
I encourage you to give ogoplex a try. I think that once you’ve experienced what it can do, you’ll never look at sex the same way again.
Obesity And Male Infertility, Two Modern Societies Problems
While millions of people are slowly dying of hunger, modern societies have to face new challenges directly linked to our way of life. Bad nutritional habits, stress, junk food and other factors contribute day after day to a dramatic explosion of obesity. But how can the obesity of today, combined with an aging population have a direct impact on the next children generation? Although no real study has ever been performed on this subject, science already proved us that obesity can have negative impacts on the sexual life and on the sperm quality.
Firstly, we should remember how body does secrete the testosterone. Testosterone is secreted in the testes, in the Leydig cells. This secretion only happens with the stimulation of the LH hormone – LH hormone being secreted by the pituitary gland. Testosterone is necessary to the fabrication of spermatozoids, the development of the male sexual organs and male sexual secondary characteristics. This hormonal process can only happen to active people, doing regular physical efforts. This is where the problem lies : obese people often tend to reduce physical efforts and this is why a decrease in testosterone production is clearly noticed in people suffering from overweight. This implies that obese people are less interested in sex than before.
Secondly, let’s combine this problem with the female hormone, estrogen, naturally secreted in fat cells, and present in chemical component of common products; this makes the perfect infertility bomb. Note : obesity and pollution by estrogen like substances are only two factors explaining the rise of male infertility. Many other causes exist.
Zinc. Many people just think zinc is solely a metal. They are right, but zinc also plays an important role in general as well as sexual health. Zinc, found in e.g. oysters and nuts, enters the body through the food. Zinc allows you to keep your hair, an healthy skin and body tissues, and also maintains the motility and quality of sperm. Sadly, overweight people, with unbalanced diets, leave out many aliments containing zinc. That is why a decrease in quality of sperm is commonly linked to a zinc deficit. A rich zinc diet should contain: oysters, sea shells, nuts, seeds, beans and also meat and poultry.
There are ways to fight obesity, with the help of doctors and nutritionists, with good nutritional habits and herbal supplements that can help overweight people to get through with their diet. To fight obesity, herbal supplements like Hoodia Gordonii can be used. And to maintain the quality and motility of sperm, a daily supply of zinc is necessary. All these herbal supplements and products can be easily found and purchased on the internet nowadays.
Conclusion: obesity and male infertility are two new problems that modern societies must fight. Even if no in depth study has been conducted, scientists proved us there is a link between these two problems. With the help of science, these problems can be solved, provided that obese people adapt their nutritional habits.
