Performance anxiety is defined as: “a condition of nervousness or fear which prevents or adversely affects the activity being attempted.”

Performance anxiety is also synonymous to “stage fright” and is commonly associated with sexual performance – a sort of “bedroom stage fright.”

Symptoms of performance anxiety include: 

• Rapid heart rate
• Irregular blood pressure
• Sweating
• Difficulty breathing
• Muscle tension
• Sexual difficulties 

There’s no doubt that sexual performance anxiety is an awful experience.  It can occur at any time and at any age.  Furthermore, it destroys your confidence and if left untreated can lead to other issues down the road. 

Can a person overcome sexual performance anxiety? 

Yes.  The first step is identifying the reasons behind your anxiety.  There could be a number of factors why you’ve been unable to perform in the bedroom ranging from those that are physical or psychological in nature.  Dealing with any type of performance anxiety will always involve an action plan –think of these steps as male enhancement 101: 

1. Set realistic expectations.  Many men believe that size and “all night staying power” is what women want in the bedroom. If you’re hoping to perform like an Olympian in the sack you will definitely set yourself up for failure.  Try to focus on the positives such as enjoying each other’s company – this will take the pressure off of you.
2. Eat right.  We can’t stress enough how important proper nutrition is when it comes to leading a healthy sex life.  Eating vegetables, fruits and low-fat foods help improve blood circulation in the body which then leads to a healthy libido and erections.  Vitamins and natural male enhancement supplements can also help maintain healthy sexual functions. 
3. Get some sleep and exercise.  Exhaustion makes it impossible to feel “in the mood for sex.”  Rest gives the body time to rejuvenate and recharge one’s batteries.  Normal exercise will help regulate the body’s blood flow and hormone levels which definitely can put you in the right frame of mind when it comes to sex. 
4. Talk to someone.  Communicating your feelings can go a long way and can ease the burden and guilt you feel about your inability to perform.  Talk to your partner, a friend or even your doctor and know that you’re definitely not alone. 

These are just a few of the many ways to work through sexual performance anxiety – think of this as total male enhancement from the inside and out. 

Enhancementadvice.com thought of another idea for a natural male enhancement product that most men would probably love. 

So far we’ve talked about the different pills, chewing gum, soda, rings, devices and so on.  While these are all impressive male enhancement methods, the most interesting (we think) would be male enhancement beer.

This will probably never happen but (in theory at least),  the refreshing beverage that’s a guilty pleasure for most men, would serve two functions – quench the thirst and craving most men have while improving men’s erections and sexual performance.

Perhaps alcohol need not be included since we know that it’s known to slow down blood flow which is one of the reasons why men have a hard time achieving erections.  With that said it’s the alcohol that is the culprit behind health issues but in actuality, beer contains healthy ingredients which as in turn can provide the body with essential nutrients.  Beer is made of water, grain (malt), hops and yeast.  The amount of each ingredient influences the flavor and texture of beer. 

One 12 oz serving of beer can provide:

• protein
• carbohydrates
• calcium
• magnesium
• phosphorus
• potassium
• sodium
• zinc
• thiamin
• niacin
• vitamin B6

If this male enhancement concept were to ever be invented it would definitely provide men with motivation to enhance their sexual performance or more importantly their sexual health.

Ummm…beer!

There’s an interesting product out on the market that claims it is both a male enhancer and female enhancer.

This natural sexual enhancer is called BioVigora and is manufactured in Canada by Option Biotech, a nutraceutical company.

The company website claims that BioVigora is:

• For men & women of all ages, with or without any difficulties.
• 100% natural and safe for people with diabetes, cholesterol, prostate, blood pressure and heart problems.
• Compatible with alcohol and prescribed medication.

Hmm…compatible with alcohol and prescribed medication? 

While this sounds impressive, is it really safe to assume that this male enhancement / female enhancement supplement is safe and will not react with any other medications?

It would be great if we could see this backed up with more evidence.

On the ingredients side, BioVigora contains Aframomum, Kola nitida and digestive enzymes, which are not all that familiar when it comes to natural male enhancement supplements.

What’s intriguing is that this product is supposed to be good for men and women who want to boost their sexual desire but it’s not really understood how this product works since male enhancers usually work to improve erection quality and staying power and female enhancers work to improve libido.

We’re not really sure how three ingredients in this natural product can make this happen.

All in all the company seems to have a fairly decent reputation and we guess only time and more testimonials will tell just how effective BioVigora is.

Is it a complete coincidence that “Vigora” in the product’s name sounds a lot like Viagra?

Perhaps that’s food for thought.

This site has talked about the 5 recommended ingredients for male enhancement which are L-Arginine, Tongkat Ali, Cnidium, Epimedium and Horny Goat weed.

When put together these ingredients are great for increasing testosterone, building strength and energy, increasing nitric oxide levels and improving blood flow which all contribute to better erections and good sex.

Well, there’s another male enhancement ingredient that also provides benefits to men’s and women’s overall sexual health and that herb is called maca root. 

Native to Peru, Peruvians have long since known about the many wonders of maca root.  The first recorded usage of maca root can be traced as far back to the time of the Inca Warriors of South America who consumed maca root to enhance their strength, energy and stamina during battle. In South America it is used as a general nutrient to increase libido and reproductive health and has long since been known as an aphrodisiac. 

Its effect is due to sterols which act on the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands, producing hormones which help increase energy and libido.  

For women maca has been known to:

• Reduce menstrual cramps
• Balance hormone levels
• Helps with skin problems (i.e acne)
• Increases sexual stimulation
• Reduces stress and thwarts off depression 

For men maca has been  known to: 

• Increase testosterone
• Increase sperm count
• Boost libido
• Improve fertility
• Helps with skin problems (i.e. acne) 

So guys, when looking for a male enhancement product, try to find one that contains our 5 recommended ingredients along with maca root.

It might be just the thing that will give you that sexy mysterious glow.

Has your sex drive been in ‘park’ mode for a while?  Why not bring yours and your partner’s libido back to warp speed?  As mentioned in a previous post, good sex is one of the most important factors that help us lead a healthy fulfilling life.  

Here are some ways to put the “spice” back into the bedroom: 

1. Eat Healthy, Live Healthy

Though it doesn’t sound sexy, eating healthy, getting exercise and getting plenty of rest makes us look and feel better.  We all know that clogged arteries and imbalanced hormone levels equals low sex drive and poor erections.  Eating lots of fruits, veggies and low fat foods, while taking vitamins can go a long way to keep you “in the mood” for love way beyond your senior years.  Natural male enhancement supplements are a great way to jumpstart your sex drive. 

2 . Make out like teenagers

Kissing, touching and sneaking off alone with your partner can be definite ‘turn ons.’  Let’s face it, once we reach a certain age or when we’ve been in a relationship for a long time, sex can become routine and it can get boring.  Putting the excitement, passion and spontaneity back into your love life can go a long way.  Remember what you did in the backseat of your parent’s car?  Admit it…didn’t that feel good? 

3. Take sex ed…again

No, we’re not talking about high school sex ed class where abstinence was drilled into your brains.  We’re talking about visiting different sex stores or sex trade shows and expanding your knowledge of everything to do with having great sex.  Sex shops carry a plethora of products and services from toys, books, female and male enhancement products, not to mention workshops that can tell you how you and your partner can achieve mind-blowing orgasms.  Think of it as SEX 101.

4. Keep an open mind.

Don’t be afraid to explore new techniques and sexual positions.  Maybe you can even be open to a bit of role-playing.  Keeping and open mind about all the possibilities inside and outside of the bedroom is one key to great sex.  Furthermore, don’t be afraid to get some help.  If your erections or mindset about lovemaking has changed, don’t be afraid to talk to your doctor.  If the thought seems too embarrassing, male enhancement supplements might be another option for you.  Heck… countless men swear by them! 

All in all, healthy lifestyle habits and open communication can go a long way to maintain passion between the sheets.  

So guys, don’t be afraid to explore these options – trust us and your lover will thank you.
