Pills: There are many pills sold over the counter that are designed to increase performance in men and women. All of these pills contain a few similar ingredients. First is L-Arginine. This is an amino acid that naturally releases hormones in the body thereby increasing sexual libido. Second is Horny Goat Weed. This is a plant extract that acts like an aphrodisiac. And third is Yohimbine. This one is a plant extract that raises the body's nitric oxide levels. You find these ingredients in different combinations and each one has several names. So, you may not recognize it on the package, but you can bet one of these items is in there somewhere.

Some side effects that customers reported after taking these pills are: Trouble sleeping at night, increased hart rate, skin flushing and sleepiness. All of these side effects are actually linked to Yohimbine.

If you would like to know if the product is safe to take. You should consult with your Doctor. Only your doctor will have the knowledge of any medical conditions or prescriptions you are taking and how those ingredients will react with each other.

Creams: There are many types of creams and gels out there. Let's discuss desensitizers. These products are designed to prolong male stamina by numbing the genitals. You will see ingredients like Benzocaine or Lidocaine.

A condom must be worn after application to avoid numbing the partner. They are also marketed to make anal sex painless. Be careful using it for this purposev as I explained in the anal section.

There are also creams that have the same effects as pills containing the same ingredients as well. For those who would like a topical version instead of taking a pill.

There are creams meant for stimulation that contain high amounts of glycerin for a warming effect. Menthol or Mentholparaben for a cooling sensation. There are scores of others.  Whatever the cream we recommend that you get a doctors opinion, before use if there are medical or prescription medicine concerns.
