Any legit ways to increase libido?

[Adodd]

So? I have heard about maca and other herbs but most of the claims don't seemed to be backed up and most of the studies are animal studies. Excercise, good sleep and. And decent nutrition seem to be the only things to focus on. Is there anything else? I dont know if this makes a difference but I don't really have a super libido, but i have certainly noticed a decline on the last couple years.

Only thing I know for sure is no-fap. The increase stops at about day 10 IME. Exercise is also a decent boost.

These are good. If you are too stressed or malnourished it will kill your libido.

You don't need studies. Maca works like crazy.

@Adodd Deadlifts and squats.

I can vouch for this too.

I’ve heard shilajit is good

Pine pollen will give you a nice boost.

• Exercising way too much especially too much cardio can kill your testosterone
• Since we're on this topic lately I'll add a bonus  - exposure to BPAs, microplastics, POPs, PCBs, VOCs and all those 3-letter toxins, basically anything can acts as xenoestrogens or endocrine disruptor and can occupy androgen receptors can mess up with your testosterone balance. 

 

@Michael569 You should do blog post on plastics & specifically water bottles & plastic packaged food

(bad habit) I spent 3 months drinking 2-4 plastic water bottles per day every day ... I am afraid to think what I done to myself or if this permanent damage.

I ate tons of plastic packaged food throughout the last 8 years due to every fucking thing being wrapped in plastic in those annoying monopoly supermarkets. 

Information on plastics is too vague and not quantified, articulated in enough depth for public to grasp how bad it is, what the worst forms of it are, how to detox it, how long this takes ect... 

Due to this vagueness I am either afraid or indifferent to them (I was indifferent )

They  obviously bad, but how bad? But important question, how do you systematically remove plastics from the body, is the damage permanent?

High quality ashwagandha. And obviously squats / deadlifts like the guy above said.

being a bad-ass!

This powder for smoothies contains maca and ashwagandha. It is a proprietary blend which bothers me because I'm not sure how much I'm getting but 1 serving is 6 grams and the recommended dosage of daily ashwagandha is give or take 500 mg. I would definitely think theres at least that much in a 6 gram scoop. Maca recommendations are 1.5 to 3.5 grams so i think it should add up. Gonna give it a shot, maybe ill come back to this thread and update after 2 months.

I'm a big fan of Reishi and Ashwagandha, and Maca too I guess. I have all three powders in my kitchen cupboard.

The issue for me is that Ashwagandha tastes so god damn awful, it makes me shiver in disgust. Maca too, actually.

So I found myself manually putting it in capsules anyway.

I'm skeptical that I could drink a smoothie like that

[Adodd]

@flowboy hahaha I'll let you know how it tastes I'm sure a just A spoonful in smoothie with enough frozen berries and O.j. wouldn't be too bad. Maybe a couple dates if I need to add some sweetness.

@Adodd I take Ashwagandha. It has many benefits, but I never noticed any increase in libido from it. Maca and pine pollen have both been effective for libido.

stop jerking off you sick bastard lol

probably not good on a daily basis (maybe a weekly basis is fine) but using weed

Taoist Sexual Practices - Read the Multi-orgasmic Man by Mantak Chia. There are some good self sexual energy cultivation practices that I am really enjoying. I am actually thinking about making a course in the future. 

 

Don't listen to this guy. Just learn to jerk off in a way that cultivates your sexual life force energy instead of deplete it. Most men in the west were not taught how to masturbate because of idiotic religious dogmas. The Taoist believed that cultivating this sexual energy and learning to masturbate was important not only for an amazing sex life, but joy and health in general.

Enough of sex or sexual organs being dirty. They aren't. They are sacred.
