I've heard a lot of talk about the sexual stimulant Vigorex Femme, but how safe is it? I am interested in trying it, but there has to be some possible side effects -- like they say, when something sounds to good to be true it usually is! --N

Dear N:

There are many so-called natural sexual stimulants in the marketplace today. Vigorex Femme is one of the legitimate ones. I did some of the original clinical research on this homeopathic product. It's natural and safe and can be effective for men and women depending on certain factors. It's made of extract of green oats, which works to unbind the body's testosterone. I also like an equivalent product called Allurex, which is available on my site.

I also recommend two other natural sexual enhancement products. Their formulations are based on modern sexological science and the ancient science of Chinese herbal medicine fused with new biomedical techniques. The product for men is Top Gun. It's an all-natural, safe herbal formulation, clinically tested and now being taken by thousands of men nationwide. The female product, Sensativa, is still in clinical trials. These products are both aphrodisiacs and sexual stimulants, and unlike other sexual enhancement supplements they nourish and strengthen the body for greater sexual health and well-being. To order these products, call 1-888-633-7768. For participation in the clinical trials, send an email to me at info@www.yoursexcoach.com.

The side effects of all of these products are similar to the negative effects from being too sexually aroused without an appropriate outlet. Unless you have an outlet for the release of sexual tension or energy, including self-pleasuring, these products may not work for your personal needs. Occasionally there have also been reports of agitation, nervousness and slight headaches, all of which are often cured by a good orgasm. There are no reported medical side effects. Keep in mind that these products do not work for everyone. For that reason, be sure to make sure that whatever type of product you order offers a money-back guarantee. To be on the safe side, also be sure to ask your doctor before taking natural supplements of any kind, especially if you are taking medications or have a known medical condition. And always look for products backed by experts with solid credentials and medical clinical trials to validate their claims.
