The idea of natural male enhancement is an attractive one, probably because so many Americans are getting into the "health kick"by buying organic foods and limited their intake of fast food, processed foods and junk food. The idea of a naturally enhanced sex life is very appealing. However, you have probably heard people saying that supplements do nothing or perhaps even that all these pills have harmful contaminants.

Yes, everything is possible and the FDA has cracked down on a few supplemental companies over the years. Most companies are smart enough to create supplemental products in an FDA-approved facility. In recent years, many supplement manufacturers have actually been bragging about their organic approach to collecting extracts and herbs.

The Science of Male Enhancement

Are the claims of these companies legitimate? Any intelligent person can see the difference between sensational promises and legitimate scientific studies. Many manufacturers do exaggerate the effects of their products. However, there are some companies that do quote legitimate studies, with testimonials from legitimate medical authorities.

Most of these studies involve basic sciences, and not necessarily the brand "Penitriol"or whatever other creative name they’ve come up with. For example, studies have been done on the theory of traction (penis extenders), testosterone producers, L-arginine and vasodilation, which can be chemically manipulated or (supposedly) naturally induced. However, private studies cannot necessarily be presented as fact, and thus the FDA and the medical community cannot truly back any supplemental product.

Instead, individual doctors will back brands that contain natural supplements, which are known to promote general human health. Essential fatty acids, proteins, zinc, vitamins, nutrients—all of these things help sexual function and the overall quality of human life. If you have a deficiency of some sort, then some of these supplemental products will definitely help you. You may even notice an increase in penis size, or longer and harder erections, thanks to an improved blood flow to the penis. If your girlfriend isn’t complaining why stop what you’re doing?

The Psychology of Male Virility

Ultimately, natural male enhancement products are not cures. They are supplementary products, meaning they are help to address deficiencies in your ordinary diet. A man could greatly benefit sexually by focusing on improving his general health—especially as he ages.

It’s also important to realize that many sexual problems with impotence and low libido are psychological in nature. Erectile dysfunction or a lack of interest can be caused by stress, anxiety, sexual fears, poor communication with a partner, and a lack of foreplay. Premature ejaculation is a learned habit, and can be unlearned through stamina-building exercises.

The idea of men becoming "super"in bed and staying rock hard for several hours is a pornographic fantasy. In reality, a woman would probably get tired after hours of penetrative intercourse. If a man really wants to learn to be a good lover, he would focus on learning extended foreplay, perhaps exploring more exotic forms of foreplay. After sufficient stimulation a man can then finish with intercourse. This is a more realistic view of sex, free from sensational promises.

There are natural supplements that can help you in the bedroom, but keeping it "natural"(as in no gimmicks or body manipulation) is the best way to find male enhancement.
