Hey, Listen up!
“Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily.” Epicurus, from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers Epicurus (341–270 B.C.)
This dude, Epicurus, lived over 2500 years ago. He has a lot to say about pleasure. Like:
“It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and honorably and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and honorably and justly without living pleasantly. Whenever any one of these is lacking, when, for instance, the man is not able to live wisely, though he lives honorably and justly, it is impossible for him to live a pleasant life.”
And,
“If the things that produce the pleasures of profligate men really freed them from fears of the mind concerning celestial and atmospheric phenomena, the fear of death, and the fear of pain; if, further, they taught them to limit their desires, we should never have any fault to find with such persons, for they would then be filled with pleasures from every source and would never have pain of body or mind, which is what is bad.”
His thoughts led to Epicureanism. An Epicurean seeks pleasure and avoids pain.
And, isn’t that what we all want?
Today we usually call it by its more modern name, Hedonism.
A hedonist believes that pleasure is the highest good.
There are different levels of pleasure, sexual pleasure being only one of them.
There is more to it than popping pills to increase your libido or help overcome a physical dysfunction.
This guide overs some guidelines.
One of the most trusted names in the pursuit of hedonisam is Dr. Ruth. She is a good place to start this guide. Again, just remember that this just a guide. It is not the gospel truth, by any means.
Dr. Ruth Westheimer, EdD, the sex sage claimed that the most powerful aphrodisiac was the one that lies between our ears.
The brain,
of course,
is the most powerful sex organ.
What did you think it was?
Her books, Dr. Ruth's Encyclopedia of Sex and Sex For Dummies, is on sale at Amazon.
Sometimes just a good diet and regular exercise sustain a better path to better sex than more oysters. rhino horn, or horny goat weed.
Aphrodisiacs can be fun whether they actually work or not. It's the brain that creates the illusion of increased libido ...
Some aphrodisiacs are harmful and can cause death. It is important to check with your health care professional before trying any of the more esoteric products. One to really be avoided is Spanish Fly. Using it or giving it to another can cause death, the ultimate pain!
Everything under the sun in all cultures has been touted as an aphrodisiac. According to studies done by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA), none of them work to increase the libido or arouse sexual desire.
I'd say 5000 years of testing prove them wrong.
After all, what does the government know? They said Viagra was harmless. The legal cases tell a different story.
For those who suffer from erectile dysfunction (DE), Cialis has got a lot of boob tube time. It is effective, but has side effects that can be upsetting and instead of enhancing your libido, those side effects may spoil the fun.
