If you're looking for pills to help improve your sex life, there are some licensed treatments that can help. These can work:
- Making it easier to get and maintain an erection (if you suffer from erectile dysfunction)
- Helping you last longer before orgasm (if you suffer from premature ejaculation)
There are also other non-licensed sex pills that some people have tried, including herbal products. These types of pills are not proven to work and can actually be dangerous, as we are unsure what is in them and how the combination of ingredients may affect your body.
What are sex pills?
Generally people call the pills taken for sex related problems as "Sex pills". These are generally medications that work and are prescribed and recommended by doctors, but there are also unlicensed herbal pills that are sold over-the-counter. These are not proven to work, and they have not been properly tested to make sure they are safe.
If you don't have any real sex-related problems and just want to improve your sex life, sex pills may not be right for you.
Before thinking about which pill to try for your sex life, it's important to think about how you would like to improve it and what would be the best and safest way to accomplish this. Often, you can see big improvements in your sex life by making changes to your lifestyle, seeking counseling or therapy, or talking to your partner.
What are the best sex pills available?
The safest sex pills are from a regulated service where consultations are carried out from qualified doctors or pharmacists. The medicines they provide are for problems like premature ejaculation (PE) and erectile dysfunction (ED):
- ED pills - Viagra (sildenafil) and other Viagra-like pills
- PE Tablets - Priligy (Dapoxetine)
If you do not have ED or PE, or if available medications for PE or ED are not suitable or effective for you, consider alternative measures, such as non-pill medications, such as EMLA for PE, or VACUUM for ED Pump. If these are ineffective, lifestyle changes and talk therapy may be solutions. Obviously, you may want a herbal pill that you can get without first evaluating it, but since these are not safe and not proven to work, without a doctor's prescription you may need to look for solutions other than the pill.
What are erection pills?
When people talk about erection pills they usually think of two different results:
- Medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED)
- Pills That Claim to Increase Maximum Erection Size (These Don't Work)
ED treatment
- ED pills can help you if you can't reach or stay at your natural maximum erection size, but they will not increase your maximum erection size.
- You will find ED drugs that work, and herbal medicines online that claim they work, but there is no evidence to support them.
- If you suffer from ED and the pills are safe for you, you can order the ED drug online, or get it from a pharmacist or your GP.
Improving the size of your erection
There is no pill that can increase your erection naturally. Products that make this claim are doing so incorrectly. There is no evidence that these work and they may even be dangerous to your health. The only way to increase your maximum erection size is surgery.
What are male enhancement pills?
Generally speaking, 'male enhancement pills' describe pills marketed to men. They contain a mixture of various herbal ingredients, and sellers often claim that they will improve sexual performance and/or increase penis size.
There is no medical evidence that these types of pills do what they claim, so you may want to think twice about purchasing and using them. If you decide to use these pills, always make sure the seller is regulated and check that the pills have been approved by the right organizations. Ideally, you should talk to your doctor before trying these types of products.
Are male enhancement pills dangerous?
Possible side effects:
- Usually, medicines are carefully examined - it is clear what ingredients they contain and in what quantities. This helps professionals decide whether the medicine is safe for you and how much should be given.
- Male enhancement pills from unregulated sites are not checked in the same way, or may not be checked at all
- They may not be who they claim to be
- Even if the ingredients are correct and in the correct amounts, the drug may contain other non-regulated ingredients. Because of this, the side effects and severity of these male enhancement pills cannot be predicted. Some ingredients found in these medicines have been found to cause serious side effects
Taking Unnecessary Risks:
- Aside from the potential side effects, the biggest downside to purchasing male enhancement pills is that they are unlikely to work.
- Only medicines from regulated medical organizations are proven to safely help with sex-related problems
- If you try such male enhancement products without any benefits, you may be putting yourself at risk for serious side effects.
- Even if these pills aren't dangerous, you're still paying for a drug that won't get you any results
- Claims that these products are not based on scientific evidence may be one or two small studies that show some benefits, but there have been no large studies confirming their effects. Due to this lack of evidence none of these male enhancement products will be recommended for you by a doctor or pharmacist
Are there any pills to help you last longer in bed?
The medications available may vary depending on the cause of your symptoms.
Pills to make your erection last longer
There are treatments available for you if you can't get or maintain an erection. Some licensed treatments for erection problems include Viagra, sildenafil, Levitra, and Cialis.
Pills to stop your premature ejaculation
If you can't stay in bed as long as you'd like because you're waking up too early, available medications include antidepressants (such as Lexapro, Paxil, or Priligy), or anesthetic creams such as EMLA.
Pills to stop you getting tired in bed
If you find that you are getting tired very quickly during sex there is no medication that can help, but we would recommend visiting your doctor to make sure your blood levels are normal as fatigue can be caused by a number of factors. Dehydration can be caused by the following conditions: low salt levels, low iron, low vitamin D, low B12 or low overall hemoglobin.
Other Things You Can Do to Improve Your Sex Life
There are a few different lifestyle changes, treatments, techniques, etc. that can have a positive impact on your sex life, including:
- Topical treatments for premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction: These include EMLA or alprostadil
- Techniques for premature ejaculation such as the 'start-stop' technique or the 'squeeze' technique
- Penis pump or ring for erectile dysfunction
- Pelvic floor exercises
- Healthy Diet and Weight Maintenance
- Getting enough moderate exercise
- Counseling or therapy
- Get a medication review to see if any of your current medications are causing your sexual problems
- Checking for any underlying health conditions – diabetes, thyroid problems, etc. that may be causing your problems
