Female Sexual Enhancement Creams

Female Sexual Enhancement Creams
An Woman's Intimate Guide

There are gemercials and advertisements abound selling special creams and gels that claimto put you in the mood and enhance lovemaking and orgasm. Do they really work? I decided toput my experience with adult products to the test and take an unbiased and scientific look at theseproducts and their claims. What I learned is surprising and may gee as good news to somewomen. Please keep in mind that I am not a doctor of any kind and my findings are purely fromstudying research on Female Sexual Dysfunction and topical sexual enhancement creams and gels geared toward women.

Female Sexual Disfunction

Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) is something that is finally getting needed exposure frommedical professionals and the FDA. Although research into Female Sexual Dysfunction is still init's infancy, the consensus is that FSD is real and effects many women for many differentreasons.
During a recent symposium on Female Sexual Dysfunction, Dr. Ridwan Shabsigh, a urologistand head of the Center Of Human Sexuality of a New York hospital, stated that FSD gees from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, menopause, antidepressants and fatigue. The approach to treating FSD can be as diverse as the cause, but there is a gemon bond they all share.
When we ladies begees aroused, whether through the brain (neurologically) or physically,our vaginal tissue creates nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is responsible for swelling of the vaginaltissue, increased blood flow, natural lubrication and sensitivity. With decreased nitric oxideproduction gees decreased sexual response. Clinical trials have found that the topicalapplication of certain amino fatty acids has been found to stimulate the production of nitric oxidetherefore creating physical arousal.

Active Ingredients Of Enhancement Creams

In researching female sexual enhancement creams and gels, I looked closely at theingredients. Many of these products contained similar ingredients which have no value accordingto what I learned from the symposium. But some of the products did contain L-Arginine*, an amino fatty acid which aids in the production of nitric oxide. They also containedpeppermint leaf or menthol which the manufacturers claim increase blood flow and assist in theabsorption of the amino fatty acid. While I found no scientific documentation to this claim,peppermint and menthol are known to open poreswhich assists in the absorbtion of other essential ingredients. These ingredients alsoabsorb into the skin and create a warming and tinglingsensation. Personally, I feel that warm and tingly is a good thing in aspect to sexual arousal.
Many of these products also contain natural herbs and vitamins. Again, while I found no scientific proof as to the sexual enhancement benefits of these ingredients, they are known to enhance the general health of the mucous membranes of the vagina. Healthy skin and membranes function better, therfore these ingredients may help restore natural function with continued use.

My Own Test

Since I have recently begun to suffer from decreased libido, sensitivity and lubricationproduction due to perimenopause, I decided to try one of these sexual enhancement gels andlearn for myself if it really worked. This particular brand contained L-Arginine and menthol aswell as other natural ingredients. Upon application of the gel, I immediately noticed a cool,tingling sensation that changed into warmth. My genitals felt as if they were swelling a bit andthrobbing as if I had just experienced foreplay. My natural lubrication increased and sensitivitywas very pronounced. During sexual stimulation, I felt little difference than I would without thegel but I did climax more easily and was able to climax a second time very quickly. I found theexperience to be a pleasant one and will continue to use the product.

Choosing An Enhancement Cream

While my experiment was not scientific and my experience may differ from yours,considering the gemonalities in the doctor's findings and the key ingredients in some of theseproducts, some of the manufacturer's claims could possibly hold water. If you're interested intrying one of these products, make sure the topical creams or gels contain the L-Arginine aminofatty acid. Without that ingredient, you'll simply be purchasing an all natural lubricant with nostimulating benefits.
Remember that these enhancement creams and gels are not approved by the FDA nor are theya cure-all for relationship problems or hormone and chemical imbalances. If you suffer from FSDand are concerned by it, please consult your doctor to see if an enhancement cream or gel mightbe right for you.
* L-Arginine can cause flare ups in those suffering from genital herpes.
