Anyone taking Maca root ?

Several years ago, the US FDA ( (with Japan following suit quickly) approved low dose tadalafil [ Cialis ] for enlarged prostrate conditions, ( BPH Beneign Prostatic Hyperplasia ].

A somewhat hapless friend with failing health ( obesity & insulin resistance ) was puzzled with the Halloween candy like assortment of medications he had been given, and asked me to decipher them. He couldn’t understand why I broke out laughing and asking him whether he recently had any nookie on the side recently. Just made him more angry and irritated when I told him the other conventional use for the Tadalafil. Can’t recall but I think the dose for BPH was 5mg/d.

Another friend who was using Tadalafil as a ‘performance enhancer’ inevitably got psychologically dependent on it. That is, while before he didn’t have ED, he became psychologically dependent on it and basically got ED ( psychological , not physiological ). I think he now gets a low dose supply ( he’s stateside ) which is something like 10mg/d. The conventional dosage for Cialis for ED, I think is 20mg....

If there’s possible issues with aging and lower testosterone, before looking at either non prescription testosterone booster supplements like Ali Tongkat etc or seeking prescription testosterone shots , it makes sense to see whether vitamin + mineral combinations do the trick. For example, Vitamin D3 ( which you will want to always take with Vit K2 MK7 ) , Zinc, Vitamin B6 or similar proprietary combinations of “ZMA”. If they do work, it’ll help solve the problem in a ‘sustainable’ manner that won’t require ‘cycling’ or deplete your wallet as aggressively.

I would think psychological dependence happens more than most physicians would like to admit. I could see how that might come into play with younger guys, particularly younger guys still in the dating scene. Me, I'm not worried about any psychological effects because 1) I rarely take anything, and 2) I'm too old to give a shit. On those nights where I'm about fourteen beers in and the other half wants to fool around, I get halfway hard and go limp before I get can both our pants off, I just laugh, roll over and go to sleep. She'll pout for a few moments then probably pass out as well, as if I've had a fourteen beers then she's likely had at least seven.

But I can vouch for the supplement route. I was still in my mid-20s the last time I tried ZMA and used it primarily as an athletic enhancement, rather than for testosterone levels. All I know is it had a similar effect to Tongkat, except it gave me wild ass dreams, like a really fucked up acid trip that's terrifying and exciting at the same time, and then rewarded me with explosive shits in the morning when I finally woke up from the all-night hallucination of being Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark. These days, I'd like to keep my hair as long as possible so I avoid anything that plays with testosterone (including really young girls).
 
Okay here is an update about this. I managed to get a lot of Sidegra (Sildenafi) which I have taken when I want to please my date. It's been great so far.

I have been taking Maca capsules daily for the last three months. I started to loose weight recently and felt a bit stronger physically.

It is either the supplement is working, or because I have been eating many pussies and exchanging saliva at least once a week and that helps, or both.

Maca is a rather generic label and the different types (yellow, red, black) work in very different ways. What kind of maca root are you using? I use a mix of red and black powder and drink it with a bunch of other stuff like beta alanine, caffeine, beet root etc. Can’t say the maca does anything special or not but the combo has me punching through more walls than the Kool Aid bro.

If it’s not labelled it’s gonna be yellow. Yellow is primarily used for stress and mood management. Black is the stronger for male sexual stuff. Do you know iherb? Would really recommend sourcing your supps there than your local drugstore. Better quality and no real price difference.
 
It’s the pussy eating man.
Curious, so I looked up some research paper in the topic and found this.

Based on my own (limited) experience, giving oral sex does improve my mood, hence I feel better physically, even though the relationship is limited to couple of hours. I

From the paper:
Older adults with better relationship quality gave oral sex to their partner more often than those with worse relationship quality; this association was stronger for men than for women. While receiving oral sex was positively related to both men’s, and women’s perceptions of relationship quality, women’s relationship quality was more strongly linked to their partners’ well-being than men’s. Correspondingly, men’s giving of oral sex (and thus their female partner’s receiving of oral sex) was positively related to their own well-being through increasing their female partner’s perceived relationship quality.

Also explains why so many of the ladies at Jan Jan have lived to such a ripe old age.
