To be honest though, the greatest possible aid you could give you "manhood" is to stop smoking (thats assuming of course you smoke). Lets just say its effect would be better than an intrevenous feed of viagra.

I suspect it's got to do with too much acetylcholine. This makes a everlasting supply of NO I think, the key bit of viagra.
Anyway not sure ..but I suspect its along those lines:-) possibly fit.
I'm trying to understand this stuff today regarding circulation..trying being the main word there:-)
I think smoking and acetylcholine fit together as well, I know there's nicotinic receptors for ACh, so I guess tthe smoking competes for the ACh receptors.(at least the nicotinic ones IF i'M RIGHT??)

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=12446934&dopt=Abstract(for anyone who can interpret this stuff)"With repeated nicotine dosage the body adapts to what it regards as extra acetylcholine in an attempt to restore normal function. One way it does this is to grow more acetylcholine receptors. "
http://yourmedicalsource.com/library/smoking/SMO_whatis.htmland then when ya stop smoking, the ACh (if you have lots) can hit all those extra recEptors and not have to compete with nicotine.
ACh causes vasodilation..one way is via NO. other ways as well I think.
Also as I'm on this anti fluoride in water thingy at present..there's a wierdo fluoride phosphate compound that irreversibly inhibits AChE..so if it works that way and our bodies can synthesize it??..that would cause high ACh and produce the effects.
Hence maybe cut out flouride if possible(it's raining here and I've got saucepans and large bowls out collecting rainwater :-))...no idea really...just looking at it, it's something that fits if its possible anywayOh and avoid lecithin and choline supps...
I didn't like the lecithin granules/iron combo a while ago I think? :-))Jan
