Study: “Sex: I Want to Want It”
Some research shows that cannabis, for women, especially older ones, can:
Lengthen orgasm
Heightened pleasure during sex
Increase libido, sensitivity, and arousal
Exhibit a bidirectional biphasic effect on sexual functioning, and even in small doses, enhance sensitivity and arousal
A woman’s use of cannabis-infused and sativa-based vape (strains like Love Potion, Voodoo, and Purple Panty Dropper) and lube led to mind-blowing sex

Erectile benefits of nitric oxide tablets
Viagra-like effects
Viagra was originally a drug for angina and blood pressure but later found to be good for erectile function
Dissolving nitric oxide tablets in the mouth seemed to induce the same type of erectile benefits as something like Viagra
Nitric oxide precursors
Arugula
Beet root
Men are deficient in the things that increase nitric oxide naturally
The oral microbiome plays a crucial role in converting food-based nitrate into nitrates
Vascanox is beneficial because it contains potassium nitrate, bypassing the need for oral conversion and providing additional potassium, which offers numerous benefits to the body
An acidic stomach helps convert the nitrate into nitric oxide
Fluoride (e.g. from mouthwash), high chlorine, and everything you consume affects stomach acid levels
Sildenafil enables faster absorption without enhancing efficacy
Stress and libido
Problems with erection and libido are often psychological
This is why sex is better during weekends or vacations
Under threat, individuals prioritize survival over other activities, such as sexual interest, which might be a result of natural selection
Constant stress in modern life can lead to diminished libido and erectile function
Focusing on reducing stress as a primary solution rather than seeking ways to “hack the system” or find quick fixes
Libido in men and women and how to “Thrust in Time”…17:23
Multiple, Mind-Blowing Orgasms, The Best Sex Toys, Clitoral Pumps, Yoni Genital Steaming & Much More With “Sexpert” Susan Bratton.
Hormones have nothing to do with libido
How to keep sex fun and always new
It doesn’t have to be big and overwhelming
Could be a never-tried sex position
Some of Susan Bratton’s books:
3 concentric interlocking circles:
Libido — body-based energy triggers your desire for sex
Desire — the brain is the biggest sex organ
Arousal — how we get turned on
Men get turned on quickly because of hemodynamics
Women are more turned on at different times of the month because of their 28-day cycle, though they could get turned on at any time of the month
A woman has 3 erectile tissues in the vulva:
Clitoral system
Perineal system
Urethral system
The “Thrust in Time” technique emphasizes understanding the anatomy of the female genitalia during penetrative sex
The entire vagina is surrounded by erectile tissue, suggesting that direct stimulation of the clitoral tip may not be necessary for arousal
When the vulva is fully aroused, plump, and engorged with blood, direct stimulation of the clitoris may not be required for the person to experience orgasms
Allowing time for arousal and the increase of blood flow to the genitals is important
If the male partner is already aroused and ready, while the female partner is not fully aroused, this may lead to difficulties in achieving orgasm for the female partner
The significance of foreplay, arousal, massage, and pleasurable sensations
Misconceptions about orgasms
A woman cannot have an orgasm from intercourse if not fully aroused
Instead of understanding the need for more time and arousal, there might be a tendency to think that other activities are necessary for her to achieve orgasm

Thrust in Time is an ancient Daoist practice that Susan brought to the 21st century
Semen retention
Stamina technique
Counting technique (count by 10s) and stroke technique (shallow or short strokes) to give a woman multiple orgasms
Fantastic foreplay to get her going

Masturbating up to the point of ejaculation (but not allowing oneself to ejaculate) repeatedly

Retaining the energy
Strengthening the perineum through breath work
The pineal gland holds what we know as the “God Molecule,” which is dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a molecule responsible for euphoria
Putting pressure on the pineal gland allows it to leak tiny particulates of DMT

Is wine better for sex…41:24

Study: “Red Wine and Sexual Function in Men: An Original Point of View”
Wine is perceived as an aphrodisiac
A potent blood flow precursor
The health effects of wine
One to three glasses of wine may reduce cardiovascular risk
Red wine has a high polyphenol content
Moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with a cardio-protective effect and an increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL), also known as “good cholesterol”
Ben always chooses biodynamic or organic wine from countries like France, New Zealand, and Italy
Dry irrigation methods result in higher antioxidant and lower alcohol content of the grape
Dry Farm Wines by Todd White
Ben has been a subscriber to their wine service for over 10 years
Podcast with Todd White:
Effects of red wine on males:
Appears to affect follicle-stimulating hormone, testosterone, and prolactin levels, which all help erectile function
Can increase nitric oxide (Viagra-like effect)
Red wine seems to increase penile vasodilation, an effect that’s similar to what stem cells could do
Contrary to other studies, the polyphenol content of red wine increases testosterone when taken in small doses
Effects of red wine on women (low to moderate amount):
Higher sexual desire and vaginal lubrication (a glass of wine a day)
While alcohol in general may not be beneficial, those with high polyphenol content (e.g. red wine) appear to have benefits
Red wine shows benefits in male reproductive and sexual function when taken in low to moderate amounts
Disclaimer:
Chronic alcohol intake can reduce testosterone levels, impair spermatogenesis, and decrease testicular volume
Sex before exercise…49:36
Q&A 428: Sex Before Exercise, Heavy Vs. Light Water, Jack Kruse’s Leptin & Vitamin D Protocols, How To Lower Blood Glucose, Exercising With A Pacemaker & Much More!
The age-old question: sex before exercise?
Study: “Does sexual intercourse exercise harm athletic performance?”
The study involved 50 physically and sexually active men
The aim was to investigate whether sexual intercourse the night before would affect athletic performance during weight training sessions
Weight training protocol:
Participants underwent three weight training sessions, all at the same time of the day
The workout consisted of a challenging 5×5 routine for the squat, with each set aiming for the maximum weight for five repetitions
Sexual activity conditions:
The study compared participants’ performance after abstaining from sexual intercourse the night before
The mean duration of sexual intercourse was approximately 13.8 minutes, with a variability of plus or minus 3.5 minutes
Results:
When participants abstained from sex, the mean lifted weight for the squat was around 109 kilograms (240 pounds)
After engaging in sexual intercourse, the same workout routine led to a significant drop in performance, with the maximum weight lifted reduced by almost 10 pounds (approximately 5–10 pounds, equivalent to about 235 pounds)
Ben’s suggestions:
For elite athletes participating in demanding sports like triathlons, CrossFit, or Spartan racing, abstaining from sex might be a consideration to ensure peak performance
Have sex, but don’t ejaculate
-And much more…
