S

Like with many health related issues, diet has a big role to play in resolving the problem. A change in diet might be just what you need to help boost your boy in a natural way.

When you know you’re going to be intimate, keep your pre-coital meals light and containing as little starch as you can without malnourishing; meaning skip the potatoes and breads.

Instead get a decent dose of healthy fats (those contained in nuts and fish) to help bolster your body and work as anti-inflammatory (opens up your blood vessels, increasing general blood flow)

Positioning

In football, it’s all about positioning. One way to position yourself to better sex is to use gravity as catalyst for your erection. By this I mean you should either be on top or standing to aid the direction of blood flow downwards.

Here are some positions to consider:

  • Standard missionary (with a slight tweak); lay her on her back and perform as normal, however elevate her pelvis with a pillow (which is more comfortable for her too), this aids in downwards thrusting motion for you and therefore the blood flow.
  •  An option for the more advanced sexual deviants among you is to have her more or less upside down just off the end of the bed, with you standing above and going downwards.

Chill Out

Being stressed is one of the worst things you can do to get that fella stronger.

Anxiety and stress result in a floppy todger and gives you the opposite result. To combat this, stay relaxed, work off the stress, generally take some measures to ensure that before you have sex you are in a receptive mood.

For example to get your happy chappy stronger, go and get stronger, in other words, work out. Hitting the gym will not only reduce your stress levels but it will also spike testosterone and make you look better.

Be More Sensitive

Cognitively distracting yourself allows your body to calm down and reset. Maybe you can picture playing a sport or fixing something, or even something like watching paint dry.

The caveat with this method is that you don’t look like you're imagining something unusual; this is obviously best performed in non face to face positions like doggy or reverse cowgirl.

Pills, Pills, Pills

The world is pill mad these days; everyone’s got some ailment for which they need a pharmacy’s worth of pills to fix. Obviously a lot of these issues do require medication, but so many people out there are over medicating and as such are reducing their sex drive.

For example if you are on some kind of steroids it would be advisable to change the timing of when you have them because they may interfere with your metabolism. Some of the most commonly used pills that have less side effects and have stood the test of time are Erectzan, VigRx plus, Longinexx, Marxis 10 and Enzyte. Regardless of their tested perfect functioning, It’s good to consider which works best for you or consider a physician help and advice before use.

Exercise Is King
