So breathing some life back into this thread - I've suggested l-arginine often in the past as an OTC erection aid. The TL;DR is it is an amino acid that becomes nitric oxide as part of the body's urea cycle, nitric oxide being a vasodialator that relaxes the blood vessels and increases blood flow. In effect it operates on the same mechanism as viagra or other prescription ED medication (increased blood flow) but by pulling a different lever. While arginine works there's a better alternative called l-citrulline. Citrulline comes a step before arginine in the urea cycle (metabolizes into arginine before NO), however it passes through the small intestine far easier - to the point where taking a half dose of citrulline results in arginine levels in blood plasma equal to a double dose of arginine. It's so effective that studies have shown it to be an effective treatment for men diagnosed with mild ED.

While we're on the topic of consensual non-monogamy, anyone have good resources for swinging? My wife and I have waffled on adding additional partner(s) back and forth practically since we first got together almost 14 years ago, and our relationship is currently about as strong as its been since we got married (and potentially since we've been together) - little fighting within the marriage, sex is as good as its ever been in both frequency and desire, we're relatively financial stable for the first time since before the recession hit and we're not getting any younger. So I feel like we're at a "now or never" crossroads. At this thread's suggestion I started reading The Ethical Slut but as I get deeper in its increasingly reading like a roadmap for the poly lifestyle - which my wife and I aren't particularly interested in. That said, I am going to finish the book on grounds that a swinging/FWB relationship could potentially/unexpectedly morph into a poly relationship down the road and I'd rather have the tools in the box should I need them. There's a lot of good stuff in it but I feel like I'm reading an instruction manual for a similar/comparable product and getting a lot of extraneous information.

Professor Shark posted:My partner and I tried out a Durex "Pleasure Ring" last night with great results, however the packaging says that it should only be used 6 times and then thrown out. It's a simple silicone ring and feels like it will last a lot longer than 6 times... why do they have that limit? Looking at pictures I don't think it's actually made from silicone, appears to be that cheap translucent gummy stuff they make cheap sex toys from. In which case I'd heed their advice to dispose of it after a few uses.

In that case you may want to consider a larger ring around the base of the shaft and then around the back of your scrotum. In my experience this causes a stronger erection vs a ring just around the shaft. As far as suggestions for a silicone ring, I don't have any first hand experience with them (I wear stainless steel), but it's not like a silicone ring is hard to make. e: This would work well - four ring kit for $15, starting at 1.25" and increasing in quarter-inch intervals to 2". Technically they're for a strapon harness but should work just fine as cock rings. Geoj fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Feb 11, 2019 |

Do you lose your erection completely or does it just reduce in intensity in that position? A cock ring could help, but reminder that when properly sized they should be considered erection enhancers - you can still go flaccid with one on.

I'd suggest the link I posted in my second to last post on the previous page. Unless you're particularly well-endowed in the girth department (or have a micropenis) one of the four should fit. e: also give some nitric oxide precursor ammino acids a try - l-arginine or l-citrulline. Both turn into NO via the urea cycle, which the body uses as a vasodialator. The latter (citrulline) has been found to be an effective treatment option for men diagnosed with moderate ED symptoms.

Qubee posted:Coconut oil seems interesting (she is also crazy about coconut), but a quick Google says because of it's antibacterial and antifungal properties, it can funk with the natural vaginal balance. This is a massive case of YMMV. My wife and I switched from using silicone lube to coconut oil about four years ago, mainly as a cost-cutting measure and because its easier to clean up afterwards and she's never had any issues. OTOH if your girlfriend gets a yeast infection at the drop of a hat you may want to steer clear.

Abstaining from masturbation should work after 24-36 hours, especially if you usually do it daily or multiple times per day. Unless you're waaaaaay far down the rabbit hole re: death grip and porn addiction, but I would think if you're doing the deed but can't close a day or two of abstaining should reset your system.

^ I bought a bottle of the red over the weekend after running out of my usual supplement (citrulline, which it contains) and found it to be highly effective, if a touch expensive. Electric Bugaloo posted:Ummm, exactly which ones are you describing? Because if it’s supplements or herbal poo poo or whatever gets advertised on porn sites, isn’t that stuff like all uniformly bullshit? I've personally used l-arginine and l-citrulline to great effect - although to be fair I'm in my mid-30s, efficacy may vary with age. The latter (citrulline) has been found to be an effective treatment for men diagnosed with moderate ED, and is more effective than arginine due to higher bioavailability. Your body turns it into arginine and eventually to NO as part of th urea cycle. Geoj fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Mar 11, 2019 |

Qubee posted:She said "how would you feel if I stopped you every time from making me finish because I thought it'd take too long?" and she assured me she wouldn't mind taking an hour to help me get off. I reckon I struck gold, cause previous partners have never been this considerate or caring. I've had to physically stop her from going down on me cause after 10 minutes, I just start to feel bad thinking it's not enjoyable for her at that point, and exes used to hit me with the "how long will this take? are you almost there?" and then eventually give up. She's a trooper and tells me to suck a dick before continuing. Congratulations on finding a partner who cares about you having a good time too. I'd say don't feel guilty - enjoy it, and trust your partner to know their limits and tell you when they've had enough. And of course repay the favor when its your turn. Qubee posted:Totally unrelated note: I'm not sure if it's cyclical and women just taste different / smell different during different periods of their cycle, or if it could be an indication of something going wrong. I've been with my current gf for just over a month, and she used to taste amazing and it was fine (she's on the pill). But just before her period and just after, she's gotten a sort of funky, unpleasant taste and strong smell. I don't want to say anything, and I soldier through it, but it makes me focus more on her clit instead of using my tongue all over her down there. Will she go back to tasting how she did when she was in the middle of her cycle? Should I just keep my mouth shut about it so I don't hurt her feelings? I managed a 4 year relationship with my ex and she always tasted and smelled awful down there, and my experience is pretty limited. So is this the norm? In my experience taste and smell are constantly changing based on a whole array of variables. If it really bothers you ask her to clean up a bit in the shower first - generally speaking I always make a point to clean up down there within 15-20 minutes of oral sex, and while you shouldn't make a big deal out of unpleasant taste or odors you also shouldn't have to put up with either if its causing you discomfort. If either are still present after cleaning up you may need to find an alternative method of getting her off while she's on her period - manual stimulation, use a toy, etc. or else just focus on the clit and leave her vagina alone.

Qubee posted:On the topic of amateur porn, do these amateur couples who upload videos to Pornhub actually get paid by Pornhub a la Youtube adsense? Or do they just use it as a platform to gain a lot of followers who then go on to buy personalized videos / photosets, etc? From my understanding its based on view counts, at a rate of roughly $0.60/1000 views. The top performers make enough to pay for a modest apartment and support a decent lifestyle. And there is a decent amount of crossover of the more successful couples to other amateur production services like manyvids or clips4sale - which operate on a more direct sales/commission model.

The problem with Amazon is they co-mingle stock...so if Amazon.com sells the real deal, and BobsDiscountVibes&Dongs.com sells knockoffs being advertised as the real deal Amazon will place the stock for both in the same bin...meaning you could pay full price and still end up with a knockoff. Anne Whateley posted:Getting a hitachi is fine if it sounds like her kind of thing, but hopefully you also have a nonsexual gift lined up?

spb posted:Any good Strats for eating pussy? I mostly do ordinary things like rubbing my face in it, breathing on it and doing the alphabet with my tongue. Hoping to pick up some Strats that I can use "in the bedroom". Have her masturbate for you, pay attention to where and how she touches herself. Duplicate to the best of your ability with your tongue and mouth. Also pay attention to how she responds - if she moans or pulls you in while you're doing something, do more of it. If she's silent and still then what you're doing probably isn't working and you need to change it up. And enthusiasm goes a long way even if your technique needs some work.

Philonius posted:Actually, if done correctly, the pull out method is 96% effective in preventing pregnancy. This compares to 98% for condoms, so as long as long as you have perfect form, you're fine. Good luck though. And obviously, not effective at preventing STDs. My wife and I did this for five years, never had a scare. That being said, wouldn't suggest trying it if you're new to sex or a teenager. Qubee posted:Can't precum have some sperm in it though? So pulling out perfectly stops you blowing a fat wad inside her, but the small amount of sperm in your precum still has a chance. Possible but not likely - pretty much already accounted for in the above-referenced 96% effective rating.

A properly sized stainless cock ring is more of an erection enhancer rather than an erection enabler. If its so tight that you can't physically remove it while erect its sized incorrectly and is too small, and could cause long-term damage as its restricting circulation too much. Usually I just need to think about something other than sex, etc. for 2-3 minutes and I'll go flaccid enough that removal isn't difficult - although both of the rings I wear (one larger one that fits over the base of the shaft and loops behind the scrotum, and another smaller one that sits only at the base of the shaft) can be removed while fully erect if necessary. I often wear the larger one around the house even if sex or masturbation isn't in the immediate future - they make erections fuller, firmer and easier to get and maintain, but at the same time they're not intended to stop you from going flaccid in the absence of arousal. If you're interested you can get a sizing kit  here that comes with 9 common-sized plastic rings to try - the idea being if its too tight cutting through a quarter inch of plastic is easier than a quarter inch of surgical stainless steel rod.

Johnny Truant posted:Fake edit: and the one you're talking about that "loops around", is that metal, as well? I haven't used a ring that goes around shaft and balls, only shaft. Yes, all metal. Allegedly going behind the scrotum helps you last longer, but I typically only ever use the big one by itself or in conjunction with the smaller shaft-only ring so can't weigh in one way or the other on that claim.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:Will quitting smoking/cutting down my nicotine intake help, or am I gonna be looking at a Viagra script in the near future? While quitting smoking is always a good decision, in the short term try some l-citrulline supplement. It's a precursor in the urea cycle that leads to the production of nitric oxide, which functions as a vasodilator. Similar to l-arginine but has a much higher absorption rate in the digestive tract that leads to much higher bioavailability, in studies its been found that a half dose of citrulline results in blood arginine levels in excess of taking a full dose of arginine, and has been found to be an effective remedy for minor ED symptoms in clinical trials. Available OTC at places like GNC or Vitamin Shoppe, I'd try a small tub of it and if it works go online and buy in bulk. In my experience it makes erections easier to achieve and maintain in addition to being fuller and firmer. For me (in my mid-30s) it's like rolling the clock back 15 years.
