How does male sexual functioning work?
Sexual behavior is a complex psycho physiological experience and there are many factors involved in healthy sexual functioning.
The male sexual response begins when the man becomes aroused and blood flows into the erectile tissue of the penis, causing the penis to swell and become erect.
The male testes will also increase in size and become elevated and the nipples will become erect and sensitive to touch. As excitement increases, there will be a further increase in the size of the glands and the diameter of the penile shaft.
With continued stimulation, the man reaches a peak of sexual pleasure when there is dilation of the prostatic urethra and seminal fluid (sperm) flows into the urethra.
This is accompanied by a sensation of impending orgasm, leading to a rhythmic contraction of the perineal muscles and the pelvic reproductive organs, triggering a forceful ejaculation of semen and sexual release, followed by a state of deep relaxation.
What can go wrong?
Sexual dysfunction may take many forms. The most common problems are Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (low sex drive) and Penile Erectile Dysfunction (difficulties in achieving and maintaining an erection.
While psychological factors can play a big role in sexual problems, studies have suggested that 20 – 50% of men with erectile dysfunction have some organic base for their problem.
The most common organic causes of sexual dysfunction or a low sex drive are:
- Cardiovascular
- Renal or urological
- Nutritional (malnutrition, vitamin deficiency)
- Endocrine (hormonal)
- Neurological
- Pharmacological (alcohol, smoking, recreational and prescription drugs)
- Environmental toxins (lead, herbicides)
- General systemic health problems
- Sexual dysfunction may range from mild (low sex drive, weak erections, lack of energy, slow and weak ejaculation) to severe (total inability to achieve erection and complete lack of sexual desire).
What really helps?
There is a great deal of confusion about what really helps to treat sexual dysfunction.
In addition, those men simply wanting to increase sexual desire and performance are literally swamped with emails and other marketing gimmicks promising to make them into sexual mean machines with women simply lining up to meet them!
Medical interventions to treat sexual dysfunction include the following:
- Testosterone injections
- Penile self injections with vascoactive drugs (to increase blood flow to the penis)
- Vacuum constriction devices
- Penile prosthetic implants
- Microvascular surgery
- Medication (vasodilators like Viagra, Vasomax, apomorphine or suppositories)
Are there effective natural treatments?
In many cases, sexual dysfunction or sluggish sexual responses may be caused by poor systemic health, stress, the build up of toxins and unhealthy lifestyles.
In a way, sexual health can be seen as a sort of ‘barometer’ of overall systemic and psychological health.Men who are healthy, fit and confident about themselves and about life usually report a vigorous and satisfying sex life, no matter what their age.
Practitioners of Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, African herbalists and traditional healers from a wide range of cultures have many centuries of knowledge regarding the use of herbal medicines to treat a wide variety of medical problems and to promote optimum health and functioning.
In this respect, certain herbs have been identified as having strong aphrodisiac properties and the ability to improve sexual functioning and overall systemic health.
Recent studies have shown that many of these herbs have the ability to improve peripheral and systemic blood flow and to act as vasodilators, leading to increased blood flow to the penis and erectile tissue and therefore heightened sexual pleasure and performance.
In the correct dosage, certain herbs have also been shown to stimulate adrenal glands, improve endocrine and male hormonal functioning, boost stamina and vitality, increase libido and improve the health and functioning of the sexual organs, especially the prostate, penis and urethral systems.

How has Ikawe helped others?
‘After my divorce, I began dating again and met a few lovely women. But -can you believe it – every time I ‘got lucky’, the whole thing fell flat and I just couldn’t perform! Exercise helped a bit, but I just wasn’t the man I used to be. Things were going from bad to worse and I even stopped dating because I was so anxious! Eventually a friend told me about Ikawe and I thought ‘What have I got to lose?’ Six weeks later, I just can’t get enough and nor can my new girlfriend! What a difference!’ – Stewart, U.K.
“Thank you thank you thank you thank you! (and another thank you from my girlfriend!)” – Brent, single, USA.
“Dan (28 years old) contacted me for online counseling and help with his sexual problems. Although he was in a steady relationship, Dan was afraid that he would lose his girlfriend due to his inability to maintain an erection. Even when he was aroused, Dan’s erection was not as strong as he would have liked it to be and it did not last very long. When making love with his girlfriend, Dan would either ejaculate too quickly or his erection would disappear, leaving him embarrassed and his girlfriend unsatisfied. This had led to frustration and the couple were having arguments about lots of things. Dan had felt too ashamed to consult anyone face to face and chose the anonymous nature of online counseling to seek help for his problem. We worked together to draw up a healthy eating plan and a daily exercise routine and I started Dan on a course of Ikawe, three times daily. After about a week, there was a noticeable difference and Dan was beginning to feel aroused more often. A month later, Dan emailed me to say that he was a different man and that he and his girlfriend were making love every night! He felt proud that he was able to make love for longer and could satisfy his girlfriend as well as himself.” – Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist
“Ikawe has really boosted my sex drive as you said it would! My wife used to complain that I was never interested. She said her friends always complained that their husbands wanted too much sex but she hardly got any. Seriously – it was affecting my marriage. After taking Ikawe for 10 days I could already feel the difference. I also have much more energy.” – Derrick S., USA
“I just want to write and say thank you for recommending your Ikawe for Men product. I had premature ejaculation and I could only last a few minutes and then it was all over. Now I have a lot of stamina and my erection is much harder. The best thing is that I can have sex more than once a night for the first time since I was in my early 20′s! Ikawe has really made me feel like a young man again, thank you!!” – Graham, USA
“Since I was a teenager I have been very shy and always felt like I couldn’t approach women. I finally found a girlfriend, but things were not that great in bed I think because of my lack of confidence. Now I feel much more relaxed and I can enjoy sex like never before. It has made a big difference and I feel proud to be naked with my girlfriend for the first time!” – Steve MJ, USA
“Works wonders for a 70 yr young man! My wife says THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!!” – William, FL, USA
