A diet worth considering


Given that nowadays everyone seems to be trying one type of diet or another, I thought it might be interesting to talk about a different kind of diet.

Instead of aiming at weight loss this diet aims at increasing the testosterone levels.

And what for? Well, higher testosterone levels are directly related with an increased libido. A BIG increase in libido. And it also packs a number of other interesting advantages, such as an increase in lean body mass (aka, muscle), a decrease in fat mass (aka, lard), increased attention spans, accelerated metabolism, solving erectile dysfunction problems and general tiredness and asthenia.

Disadvantages? Well, the 3 most relevant ones, although rare, are increased aggressiveness (less tender love J ), increased body hair and, in men with a genetic pre-disposition towards androgenic alopecia (male hair loss) that are not medicated for it (finasteride, I will cover this one later on), may accelerate the hair loss process.

In my personal experience none of the side effects have appeared, although I am medicated with finasteride for some years now. But it did make me feel about 20 again. In everything! :P
But let’s get to the point:

- Eat eggs regularly. Contrary to common knowledge, increased egg intake does not result in increased “bad” cholesterol, the effect varying from individual to individual. An healthy individual can consume about 300 mg of cholesterol per day and one egg has about 213 mg of it, mainly in the yolk;

- Eat nuts (they are good for your nuts! J ). These are an excellent snack and, as long as you don’t overdo it, they are quite rich in monounsaturated fat, which is directly correlated with increased testosterone. You should avoid salty or baked nuts. My advice goes to a nut blend sold at Lidl, called Alesto Nuts Royal;

- Intake of fish oils, such as cod liver oil or salmon oil. Other than the effect on your testosterone, it makes your skin, nails and hair healthier, it prevents arterial disease and they are quite inexpensive. So what is your excuse not to take them?

- Tribulus terrestris tea or supplements. This plant from SE Asia is used for millennia to increase libido, which occurs through the increase of testosterone levels. It is pretty much side-effect free;

- Eat about 30% of your daily calories as fat. Unlike popular belief, that does not imply an increase in body fat if you keep your global calorie intake within healthy levels and don’t eat too many “fast” carbohydrates;

- Eat animal protein. If you doubt that you are omnivorous, look into a mirror and smile. Those pointy things sticking out on the side are there for a reason. Humans have evolved consuming animal protein so although you can live without it, your body will work at sub-optimal levels. And yes, I am willing to discuss this with any vegan fundamentalist. So have a steak once and a while;

- Sleep hard! Sleeping 6 to 8 hours a day (unless you practice some sleep techniques) is essential for most physiological processes. Take your sleeping time seriously and being sleepy will no longer be an excuse;

- Sex. Having sex spikes your testosterone. It’s one of those positive feedback things: sex-testosterone-libido-sex. Everyone is a winner;

- Physical exercise of high intensity. I refer to exercise with a load that does not allow you to go further than 5 to 7 reps in 3 series, so you shouldn’t include sex in this category unless you have premature ejaculation, in which case I will write a post to help you.

There are other foods and methods to increase your testosterone, but these alone are effective enough. I include some of these methods in my lifestyle (sometimes more, others less) and, although I am helped by my genetics, it allows me to have a life more similar to my early 20’s.

Please share your results. And DON’T change your partner’s diet without his consent. :P

A slippery business called lubrication

Only those who have never tried it do not understand the multiple virtues of a good sexual lubricant.

Whether to make an anal penetration easier or to complement the vagina lubrication, rare is the sexual encounter that cannot benefit from this extra.

But there is a large variety of lubricants in the market, so many in fact that I will separate this topic in more than one post. So in this one I will only approach the main differences in the base composition, excluding beforehand industrial and aeronautic lubricants :P

Regarding the base compound the lubricants can be:

- Water based. These are the most common and the ones that you will find most widely available in supermarkets, usually from a well known condom brand. Their consistency is Jello like (perhaps, who knows, because they ARE a water gel), usually with neutral smell and a very tolerable taste. They are ideal for vaginal intercourse, with or without condom, as they don't substantially change the vaginal PH (although the ones with glycerin or sugar may increase the probability of bacterial infection), very easy to clean with water and they don't damage the latex of the condoms. But, because they are very easily absorbed by the skin, they may require that you apply them several times during intercourse, which is not desirable and, for the same reason, are not very appropriate for anal sex. Of all types, they are also the cheapest;

- Oil based. DO NOT USE WITH CONDOMS, as these lubricants usually react with the latex and mak the condoms more prone to rip. They are more appropriate for anal sex, as they lubricate substantially better than the water based ones and they last longer, so usually you only have to apply them once. Due to the difficulty in washing them (water doesn't do the trick) and the potential change in vaginal PH they are not very recommended for vaginal intercourse. They are also a bit more expensive and they have the nasty tendency to react with the materials of your sex toys, ruining them;

- Silicon based. These are the Ferrari, the truffles and the Pacific Island vacation of the lubricants. They last longer than the water based, less damaging for your genitals than the oily ones (although some women report slight irritations when they remain applied for long periods of time), much easier to clean and safe to use with condoms and latex based sex toys. The only drawbacks are the price and the fact they LITERALLY dissolve silicon based sex toys (no, boob implants are safe :) ).

But before buying any lubricant I recommend that you apply a bit on your forearm to check if it doesn't cause you any immediate allergic reaction. You will thank me for this! Ideally, once you find a lubricant that works for you, stick with it, and always test before changing.

Lastly... lubrication is not contraception, not against pregnancy nor STDs nor bacterial infections. All the usual precautions must still be taken.

Slip well! :P
