When Viagra was introduced as a male sexual stimulant, it took the world a little while to get used to the concept. These days, however, it's an accepted part of life - even Bob Dole endorses the pill.
Lately, the spotlight has turned to female sexuality, and with that comes HerTurn, the first product for women that claims to create sexual desire in less than four minutes.
According to the makers of HerTurn, the product is "an all-natural, topically applied, physician developed, clinically tested, no secondary effects, no prescription needed product." HerTurn enhances sexual responsiveness and produces sexual arousal to increase and enhance the enjoyment of intercourse. In addition, the feeling and stimulation of the female sex organ is heightened dramatically as the result of using HerTurn.
This seemingly simple female sexual stimulant is sophisticated in its construction. The cream contains a multitude of ingredients, each responsible for a certain function. The drug contains L-Arginine, an amino acid and the basic building block of the Nitric Oxide Pathway. L-Arginine stimulates the clitoral tissue, which results in increased blood flow and dilation of the blood vessels in the clitoral area, further resulting in intense sexual arousal.
Another amino acid, L-Histidine, is responsible for mental focus and concentration. L-Histidine, when converted to histimine, is the chemical responsible for triggering an orgasm. Histimines play a major role in regulating ejaculations and orgasms. Histimine is also a vasodilator, which allows blood flow to the genital area.
Damiana leaves are essential to the cream, which acts as an aphrodisiac. In the ancient Mayan civilization, Damiana was used for mood enhancement. Damiana is an energy tonic, a stimulator of muscle contractions that helps ease the effects of hot flashes.
Pregnelone, known as "the grandmother of all steroid hormones," is also included in this product. The body uses it to make hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. With age, the levels of these hormones decline, so to keep hormones at youthful levels, Pregnelone is necessary.
Lastly, menthol USP is designed to give what is described as a "cool warming" sensation to the genital tissues. Once applied, there is an almost immediate warm feeling and tingle, which heightens the pleasure during intercourse.
A senior, who asked to remain anonymous, has used a similar cream, called Viacreme. She said that whenever she had trouble having an orgasm the cream was successful. "The cream remedies that right away, it makes my climax almost effortless," she said.
The makers of HerTurn say the cream is better than the pill. Since the medically developed cream is offered in tube-form, it allows the user to more precisely control the strength of the dosage, and to pinpoint the areas of the female sex organ where heightened arousal is desired.
In most cases, HerTurn works in less than four minutes. Cases of arousal and desire have been reported in less than one minute as well. Once applied, the effects of HerTurn are prolonged. Median lasting time of arousal is between 15 to 30 minutes.
One junior said he wouldn't feel threatened if his partner used the sex-enhancing cream. "It's definitely a plus. It's less work on the guy to satisfy the girl, and I'm sure any girl would love multiple orgasms," he said.
Female viagra is stemming into other medical genres other than medical creams. There are several alternatives to pills and creams that can be used to enhance sexual experiences. One enhancer is Yohimbe bark, which has been used as an aphrodisiac in many cultures. Yohimbe dilates blood vessels, intensifying sensual tactile responses. Ashwagandha is another aphrodisiac, which has been used for 300 years. Often called "Indian ginseng," it contains withanolides, molecules that resemble steroids in their action and appearance. Ashwagandha supports the immune system and promotes general good health.
Another alternative is Royal Jelly, which worker bees use to feed the queen. The queen's only food, Royal Jelly contains all essential amino acids as well as vitamins. It stimulates the adrenal glands and has a positive effect on mood and sex drive. A side benefit may be fewer skin wrinkles.
Guaran is another common natural enhancer. It is primarily grown in a small area in northern Brazil. Guaran contains Guaranine, which is similar to caffeine, and is used to stimulate the central nervous system and boosts energy.
Whatever the method, research is making many things possible. With the ongoing developments, sexual pleasure for women, which may have been difficult to achieve, is more effortless to attain.
