How, exactly, does Tongkat Ali Root & Root Bark improve orgasms
By tongkatali.org
The alkaloid content of tongkat ali root bark makes the effect of Tongkatali.org's Tongkat Ali Root & Root Bark extract different from other tongkat ali extracts.
Tongkat Ali Root-only extract elevates testosterone. That is good news if one's testosterone levels are low, and if one chases anabolic effects (muscle growth or maintenance).
Even though no testosterone means no sex drive at all, elevating testosterone doesn't solve just about any sexual problem, especially not orgasmic ones. It's like with agriculture and water. No water, no crop will grow for sure. That doesn't mean that the more water is supplied to an agricultural plot, the more yield would be produced.
Sexuality, and agriculture, just don't work like that. Testosterone is not the only factor in proper sexual functioning.
Too many people have just a theoretical approach. It goes like this: 1. An older man doesn't have as much sex drive as a younger one. 2. Testosterone declines with aging. 3. Thus, testosterone is the culprit for sexual insufficiency.
Wrong logic! That two events occur in parallel does not establish a causative relationship.
Another example of wrong logic: 1. Tongkat ali raises testosterone. 2. Tongkat ali also improves sexual experience. 3. Thus, tongkat ali improves sex because it raises testosterone.
A theoretical approach leads to scholastic dogmas. That's not science. Science is based on practical observation.
Tongkat Ali Root & Root Bark extract improves orgasms. First of all, this is an observation that can be replicated by any men (and woman) anywhere around the world.
What exactly happens? Nothing, if you don't have sex. But when you do have sex, there are two observable effects:
1. Tongkat Ali Root & Root Bark extract avoids orgasmic failures. If you start having sex, and you lose interest while you are doing it, this will be an orgasmic failure. Even when you engage in routine sex with a longtime partner, there must be a moment when you switch from "OK, let's try" to "Fuck it. I need it". This is a condition for orgasmic success, and this is what Tongkat Ali Root & Root Bark extract can trigger. Mind you: it's not that older men wouldn't wish for the pleasure of orgasms. It's just that often, they can't get properly going, mentally.
2. In men without orgasmic problems, another effect of Tongkat Ali Root & Root Bark extract is more noticeable. Tongkat Ali Root & Root Bark allows a man to stay on the pre-orgasmic plateau for an extended period of time. The plateau phase actually has two levels. The lower level has a longer duration: it can last several minutes. That is when one is focused. There is an increased heart rate and aggravated breathing. This part of the plateau phase is entered after the "Fuck it. I need it." trigger.
But then, there is another, usually much shorter plateau phase, just before ejaculation and orgasm. This is when the ejaculatory duct fills with the various secretions that make up semen, and internal pressure builds up in the prostate; then hair rises in the neck and on the back, and later on other body surfaces, and there are immensely pleasurable goosebumps (cutis anser is the medical term) all over.
This second, higher plateau is typically very short in teenage and young adult men... so short that most of those folks don't even know that this is a distinct, separate phase. They just know their ejaculations, without noticing a second plateau at all. The capability to recognize, and enjoy, this second plateau develops as one gets older. This is why sex actually gets better as one gets older.
The effects are dose-dependent. A user with a scheduled opportunity for sexual conduct should ingest some 10 to 20 capsules within some two hours before intercourse, taking 2 to 4 caps every half hour or so. This will be easier on the digestive tract than taking 10 to 20 caps at once. Other people may have a less sensitive stomach. Tongkat Ali Root & Root Bark, via the vagus nerve, has a parasympathetic effect on the abdomen. This will likely cause some increased motility in many users.
Furthermore, sensitivity or tolerance towards tongkat ali phytochemicals may vary substantially among different people.
Conventional wisdom is to start with low dosages, maybe just 2 caps, and see how one reacts. The dosage advice on the bottles is 2 to 6 caps up to three times a day, or one hour before desired effects. At very large dosages, the dopaminergic note of the root bark will take over and likely result in nauseous stimulation.
The different effects of tongkat ali extracts that use root only, or root and root bark, or root and leaves, or root - stem - leaves, are the result of different chemical compositions. In case of the most relevant phytochemical in tongkat ali, eurycomanone, the contents in µg/mL are:
6.0568 (leaves), 0.1415 (twigs), 0.0365 (top of stems), 0.0633 (middle of stems), 0.0673 (bottom of stems), 0.3533 (roots) and 5.1137 (root barks).
As can be seen, the eurycomanone content of root bark is almost as high as the eurycomanone content of leaves, and some 15 times higher than that of roots.
While both root bark and leaves contain a high level of eurycomanone, root bark exhibits a greater density of other quassinoids, which explains its more profound effect on orgasms.
