The days when you could hang a wet beach towel from your erection may be over (you’re no longer 18), but that doesn’t mean you can’t improve the angle of the scale. There are many things you can do to learn to come harder, improve your erection and have better orgasms without swallowing pills. How can you improve your experience and performance, without any pills required? We tell you all about it!
And there’s good reason to make an effort beyond the obvious: more and more evidence suggests that what’s good for your penis is also good for your heart and your chances of approaching the age of 100. Try these scientifically proven secrets to find out how to come harder, get a stiffer erection and achieve better, more powerful orgasms. And to take your sex life to stratospheric levels, read on for the 10 best daily boosters for men.
1 – Take plenty of vitamin B12
B12 is A-1 when it comes to your sexual health. In a recent study, Harvard researchers linked vitamin B12 deficiency to erectile dysfunction. They speculate that the vitamin is crucial for blood production. You need 6 micrograms a day, but don’t rely on supplements. It’s always best to get your nutrients from whole foods. The foods richest in vitamin B12 are bivalves, like clams – a 3 oz. serving will give you two weeks’ worth – but everyday foods like salmon, fortified cereals, beef and yogurt are also excellent sources.
2 – Have an orgasm every day
Any objections? According to Harvard Medical School’s Sex and the Prostate report, erections are use-it-or-lose-it: “Some research suggests that when the penis is flaccid for long periods – and therefore deprived of plenty of oxygen-rich blood – the low oxygen levels cause some muscle cells to lose their flexibility and gradually turn into scar tissue. This scar tissue seems to interfere with the penis’s ability to expand when filled with blood”.
Another reason to keep up the pace: recent research shows that daily orgasm can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 20% by flushing out old chemicals and cells; prostate disease is a major contributor to erectile dysfunction.
3 – Eat arginine-rich foods
Make sure you’ve got gas in the tank before you head out. Nitric oxide is a natural body chemical. It’s a gas that helps blood vessels relax. As a result, blood can move faster, especially below the belt. This can’t happen without the essential amino acid L-arginine, which produces nitric oxide.
Enough science, next time you’re at the supermarket, fill your basket with the best natural food sources: turkey and chicken breast, lean pork loin, walnuts, lentils and pumpkin seeds.
4 – Keep fit with sport
A healthy body guarantees a healthy penis: exercise improves cardiovascular health and reduces stress, two essential factors for achieving a quality erection. A new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine tells us more. Researchers examined 300 men and found thatthose who exercised the most reported the highest sexual function, including quality of erection and orgasm.
Specifically, guys who had 18 METS or metabolic equivalents per week reported the best sex. METS are measures of the amount of energy expended for an activity. 18 METS corresponds to two hours of intense cardio, such as running or swimming, or three and a half hours of moderate exercise per week.
5 – “Eat your anthocyanins
Anthocyanins are a type of antioxidant that, like arginine, help your body produce that wonderful nitric oxide from its wing. Add blueberries, blackberries, beets, cherries and grapes to your diet to improve blood circulation and cardiovascular health.
6 – Vary your pleasures
As we age and our relationships become more familiar, we need more and varied sexual stimuli to keep things exciting. Remember that sexual excitement comes from the senses and fantasy. Not only is there nothing wrong with fantasizing, but creating your own private sexual festival in your head can satisfy it.
7 – Clear your head
We’re supposed to always be ready to go, anytime, anywhere. Not only is this impractical, but the pressure to play is unfair and can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy. Guess what: it’s okay not to be in the mood every now and then. Once anxiety becomes the predominant thought, not only is the system flooded with adrenaline, it leaves little room for genuine erotic thoughts that stimulate arousal. Sex is always best when it’s a desire, not a need. So don’t feel guilty about having to escape when you’re not ready for sex. Don’t put pressure on yourself about past performance and give yourself enough time and space to enjoy the process. You’ll certainly have better orgasms afterwards.
8 – Walk more
Having better erections is literally as simple as putting one foot in front of the other. A 2015 study published in the American Journal of Cardiology found that a group of men who reported erectile problems experienced a 71% decrease in impotence symptoms after adopting a walking program. If you can’t make it to the gym, try walking 30 minutes a day. Take the stairs at work, park your car further away from your destination and slide it in, or organize walking meetings with your colleagues (it’s actually a trend).
9 – Put the brakes on beer
Putting on the brakes on beer may sound painful, but the reason you should do it will grind your teeth: the hops in beer are rich in phytoestrogens, plant-based chemicals that increase the amount of estrogen in the blood. They predominate over testosterone, which reduces your libido.
10 – Kegel exercises
Doing exercises that strengthen the pubococcygeus, the pelvic floor muscles will give you better ejaculation control and help you increase the power and intensity of your ejaculations. You’ve heard of them, haven’t you? Kegel exercises? Other than to strengthen your wife’s perineum after childbirth..
Here’s how it works: first find your pubococcygeus – the muscles deep in the lower regions that you contract to stop peeing. Tense them for 10 seconds, then relax for 10 seconds and repeat. You can practice them during your daily commute, while watching TV, and nobody will know. Start with short intervals and work up to 20 seconds. You can also practice naked with an erection (but fortunately not during the daily commute or in public); squeeze and relax your muscles to make your erection rise and fall.
11 – Test your limits
Use your newly enhanced PC muscles for another useful exercise called “edging” or “delaying orgasm”. As you masturbate, practice getting close to orgasm but not to the point of no return, then stop or slow down to regain control and repeat the start/slow down sequence several times. A recent studya revealed that people who slowed down when they reached 90% of the way to orgasm and then started to arouse again reported more powerful and pleasurable climaxes. Use live cam to test yourself!
Some women can certainly motivate you, like Kim Kardashian or Marion Cotillard. Which do you prefer?
