I've had some great results using a US-brand of Rhodiola (Mind Body & Spirit). I combine it with an adaptogens blend called ENERGY RESERVES, which works great to supplement the Rhodiola.
Demografx, I'm quite suprised with your results of this practice. Did you really achieve orgasm without ejaculation?
Demografx, let me know if I can write more details on how to begin the process and how I did it step by step.
All I want to promote is method that not only helped me get over POIS but gave my life a whole new quality.
Can you please explain why you want to do this?
That was the promise, and it certainly looked like one without the other (it was "dry"), but it turned out to simply be a fluid diversion to the bladder. I used Mantak Chia's method on Page 120: newbielink:http://www.scribd.com/doc/2656200/Mantak-Chia-Taoist-Secrets-Of-Love-Cultivating-the-Male-Sexual-Energy [nonactive]

(Before and after would be nice)

(Before and after would be nice)Before: my POIS actually made me afraid to have sex. I didn't want what would happen afterwards. I became an expert in the intercourse part, and always faked (yes, I am sure others do this) the orgasm part and put it away without actually having the joy of it. I tried Rhodiola and some other herbs before, with no result. Then, I changed brands and bought something more expensive that I had read about. Ten days or two weeks later I went "all the way" and found that I wasn't getting the same POIS reactions afterwards. I was actually recovering in an hour or two. While I still have some very big issues to work out, I am more confident now as well. And I believe that the herb has also increased my desire. I thought that was a bad side effect at first, but with diminished POIS, desire is not a bad thing.
Hi,I mentioned a while back that I had an appointment with an endocrionologist. What I really went there hoping to do was to establish a working relationship with the endo so that we could do a series of tests including before and after orgasm and try to detect anything unusual. At first the consultant seemed like he was up for helping in this way but unfortunately, after conversing with a senior consultant, the verdict was that, at least on state-funded healthcare as this was, there wasnt much they could do. Infact, the senior consultant came in and told me quite bluntly she thought its just something I have to live with. (I was a little riled by her manner on this but stuck to polite conversation!) She didnt believe before and after tests would help saying there are too many things we dont know about what goes on. I can see some sense in that perhaps but still believe the tests are worth doing if only to rule out detectable abnormalities. I have a respect for medical doctors but one should remember that in most cases they are not scientists in the sense of proposing a hypothesis and then testing it experimentally.However, they did in the end give me some tests even if they are not before/after tests. I dont know the details of all of them (the doctors writing on the lab form was too illegible!) but I know they included another batch of more comprehensive thyroid tests, sugar levels and urine tests for catecholamines amongst other things. Ill pass on the details of anything significant.In my last lot of tests that I mentioned on the forum, everything was normal except my LH was slightly low. Ive now seen the actual measurements (normal ranges in brackets). These tests were done whilst feeling well (non-POIS).FSH 2.2 IU/L (<6.0)LH 1.8 IU/L (2-12)PL 79 mIU/L (<700)SHBG 42 nmol/L (10-71)T 20.9 nmol/L (10-35)Cortisol 687 nmol/L (138-690)My endo said cortisol was normal. Well if you ask me its pretty close to being a bit high. An increase in my cortisol of less than half of 1 per cent would have put me out of range which leads me to believe it might be worth retesting. Having said that Ive had a slightly stressful time lately workwise and otherwise so that might have pushed it up a bit.Theres been a bit of discussion on the forum about the practical usefulness of the normal ranges when readings are near their extremes. Ive read some of the normal ranges seem to be based on a sample size of around 200 people. I did ask about the possibility of pituitary adenoma - counterpoints and others here found they have one - but the consultant wouldn't entertain the possibility saying I'd be ill all the time if I had one - not sure about that...Ive come away from my endocrinologist visit thinking that I really need to put more effort into helping to get some research funded. I think it is our best chance of narrowing down the cause of our illness and linking together our shared experiences. I hope to put more time into finding suitable researchers. In the meantime I wait for my latest results and go from there.Happy thanksgiving to all those who are celebrating it.
