Why I wish I was a woman

“You’ve got to remember currently women don’t have anything to help.”

I thought that was what diamonds were for? ;)

I’m on your side here zane, I just get in a smart ass mood every now and then.

So what’s this Zestra “hot chili” mix cost per dose? Cheaper than a jalapeno?

So men aren’t rats then? :D After reading so many studies, something I’ve noticed is that mice get great results with everything! As an example, in one of the Bromo experiments, mice on maintenance calories dropped something like 50% of their fat level in about 2 weeks (though 2 weeks is a long time in mouse days). Rats on the same protocol dropped ‘only’ about 29% over 8 weeks, yet you’d think genetically they would be very close. They more or less maintained the same body weight weight by the way, so LBM was affected favourably. The same protocol in humans produced no fat loss unless hypocalorific, and then only at the rate that you’d expect with an energy deficit. The main benefit to humans was decreased hunger and positive nutrient partition, which allowed them to maintain most of their LBM while dieting (and the reason I’m using it).

I have the MindTek Binaural CD’s. While they don’t have anything for libido in their collection, I have no doubts about their effectiveness with the brain. The MindTek CD’s on the whole don’t have any spoken words though, so I don’t know how you’d target that area of the brain. Does the Ecstacy CD have a voice over, or is it purely entrainment?

No need to worry just yet, it’s only a hypothesis and not yet proven. This isn’t my idea, I borrowed it from the Lyle McDonald book mentioned earlier in this thread. It goes like this:

Dopamine can be stimulated by various supplements (L-Dopa, L-Tyrosine, Nicotine etc). The concern is that the neurodegeneration that causes Parkinsons disease may be the free radical oxidisation of dopamine. The oxidative stress may cause damage to the dopamine producing neurons via free radical damage. Conversely (but not proven) Bromo may be neuroprotective in this instance because it can activate the dopamine receptors without having to raise dopamine levels.

The reason I think fish oil may be better (though I haven’t studied this), is that the oil is more like a real food, that can be utilised in various ways. I don’t see how the brain would be ‘forced’ into producing dopamine that it doesn’t want to. MAOI’s, immediate dopamine pre-cursors etc (I would guess) to have less of a shotgun outcome. So please don’t take what I said to seriously, I never intended to present it as fact. I do have references for the studies on which that hypothesis is based if it’s of any use.

Addendum: I made it to 1500 posts without once ever commenting on a picture of another mans cock. Does that make me an utterly hetero dude with a deep manly voice? :D

Damn, now that’s scary. I take plenty of antioxidants, but I’ll be careful to keep taking them. Hmm, I’m going to check epidemiological data on Parkinson’s in the Inuit, etc. Thank you for the heads up.

The Ecstasy CD is only music, not even subliminals. Has alpha music mixed in too so you don’t go totally under (not a good thing for sex, :) ) Supposedly has ancient tantric musical techniques yadda yadda yadda to stimulate the second chakra on the first track (testicles, ovaries) and fourth chakra on the second track (heart). It does seem to produce an erotic sensation—on the Aneros board some men are able to use it instead of looking at porn. I’m not exactly a good control—looking at linoleum produces erotic sensations in me. But I think it would be good to help women relax; relaxation and trust being the major psychological impediments to orgasm in women (and now someone will post a link to that recent brain scan orgasm study).

Zestra doesn’t have any hot pepper in it, that’s the evil Avlimil that does, which will lead to ultimately a dead clitoris. The dosage if I recall is ten drops on the clit, vary the dosage according to effect desired. The bottle is small but has plenty of doses in it and I think it’s around $30. Very pungent smell—a strong sweet herbal smell.

Woah, lots to read, feeling too lazy right now to read it all. Thanks for the replies to my questions though guys and it’s really good to have you on this board Zane, you are very knowledgable ;)

No, it just goes to show how utterly repressed your latent homosexuality really is.

That’s it. I’m booking myself in for gender re-assignment. I hear Dr Lin has a special pill that can complete the transformation in just 8 weeks guaranteed.

Lots of very nice cock pix knocking about the place. Although a deplorable lack of cumshots.

That’s on purpose zane.

Smilie problem with automatic caps :couch: I know, I know, I know where to go for that sort of thing. It just crossed my mind, you know, typical girlish woolgathering.

Known. Work around it.

I found a bottle of Tescos (UK) own brand “Omega 3 Oil” which is a 300ml bottle. Contents listed as follows per 5ml (teaspoon):

EPA 218mg
DHA 145mg
GLA 45mg
Vit E 5mg

That sounds like a much better mix that the fish oil caps I have. Also, it doesn’t taste bad at all. I wouldn’t say it tastes great, but it’s at worst..neutral, with a mint or lemon kick. It says it contains:

Sunflower Oil
Fish Oil
Borage Oil
Lemon Oil
Lime Flavour
Vitamin-E-Acetate

Still, that would be 15 or 16 teaspoons per day. Perhaps I could manage 2 tablespoons per meal as it isn’t gag inducing, but that’s still a lot of oil. I think this’ll have to wait until I’m off the most extreme part of my diet before trying it out.

That doesn’t sound very refined—there’s stuff in there you don’t need, like sunflower oil which is an omega-6 and actually interferes with the omega-3 fatty acids. Compare to the oil you can get here:

The website sucks incredibly, I had to call to get the EPA/DHA information, but one teaspoon of that stuff gives 1800 mg of EPA and 900 mg of DHA. As I mentioned, potency and quality vary widely in fish oil brands.

Here’s a European source, with a high DHA content pill (for nursing mothers, :) )

Thanks for doing the research for this zaneblue, I might start taking the oil because eating the fish from the tin is starting to turn nasty.

This site suggests that DHA isn’t desirable. Do you consider the DHA to be an active component in your regimen?

It’s not desirable when the goal is to cure mental illness. It’s primarily the EPA that helps with depression, bipolar disorder, etc. Not sure where they got that EPA and DHA interfere with each other. In nature they occur together. I’m pretty sure it’s the DHA that primarily helps with libido. Don’t have studies on that, just anecdotal evidence.
