Well, I know that they are loaded with Zinc, which helps boost testosterone and libido.

I'll get some more info for you if you want.

I looked at a few articles online and oysters are in fact #1 for boosting test. Lean beef and broccoli and poultry are also on the list. Oysters contain 7 times the recommended daily value in zinc and if eaten once a week have been shown to increase testosterone and sperm count. They are also high in magnesium. I guess if everyone ate their oysters zma supplements would be obselete .

Chicken, beef, eggs all have actual steroids in them. They inject the animals with steroids, antibiotics so they are health and so they build as much muscle (meat) as possible. The more they weight, the more they are worth! So initally you are ingesting steroids when you eat high protein foods.

I always thought the practice of injecting animals with hormones for faster growth was made illegal, does this still go on?

on another note, i've heard wide-spread reports they "Pump" water into chicken and beef to create a larger quantity of meat from the same amount of product. so basically, less protein in them, more water, and the water is intracellular, maybe they use creatine lol

Carpediem- you need to chill out with that soy protein. Soy protein can raise your estrogen levels!!!!! If you are going to use soy at least use it in combination with casein and whey.

Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) is a great supplement for decreasing your estrogen levels. Or just eat brussel sprouts and broccoli which contain I3C naturally.

Research has shown that excessive consumption of caffeine causes a significant loss of several vitamins and minerals, including vitamins B and C, calcium, iron, and zinc.

Scientists say that when used in moderation (about 250 mg a day), consumption of caffeine poses no harm. Therefore, drinking a couple of cups of coffee or a few cans of cola a day poses no harm, as long as they're not ingested too close to bedtime and do not mask chronic sleepiness caused by too little sleep or poor sleep

11. Smoking Lowers Testosterone
Actually most studies indicate that smoking temporarily raises testosterone levels, but the long term effect is negative. The Australian physician Dr. M.H. Briggs, says that cigarette smoking produces carbon monoxide in the blood, which in turn inhibits production of the male sex hormone, testosterone. Briggs, writing in the Medical Journal of Australia, cites a comparative study of smokers and non-smokers matched for height, weight, marital status, etc., which showed that the testosterone levels for non-smoking men averaged a healthy 747 nanograms per decilitre of blood, as opposed to 515 ng/dl for men who averaged a pack and a half or more a day. When the smokers abstained for only seven days, their testosterone count increased an average of 165 ng/dl, almost up to the level of non-smokers. Additional studies show that cigarettes in combination with alcohol lead to an even lower testosterone level. Smoking can also hasten the deterioration of Leydig cells, and cause testosterone levels to drastically decline even faster. The cadmium in smoke interferes with zinc metabolism and can accumulate in the testicles. Without enough zinc, testosterone levels are low.
Marijuana also decreases testosterone and libido

12. Don’t Have Morning Sex
German scientists found that simply having an erection causes your circulating testosterone to rise significantly.
The only study I could find about ejaculation and testosterone levels involve 10 males. Testosterone levels were still ok at 50 minutes but had dropped significantly after 80 minutes & 140 minutes. Unfortunately this study was on monkeys, but it fits the PE rule of no ejaculating 3-5 hours either side of a workout.


13. Stick With Tough Exercises
To beef up your testosterone levels, the bulk of your workout should involve "compound" weight-lifting exercises that train several large muscle groups, and not just one or two smaller muscles. For example, studies have shown that doing squats, bench presses or back rows increases testosterone more than doing biceps curls or triceps pushdowns, even though the effort may seem the same.

14. Squeeze Out Five Repetitions per Set.
Throwing around 5-pound dumbbells won't help you affect a rise in testosterone. Start off by using a heavy weight that you can lift only five times. That weight is about 85 percent of your one-repetition maximum. A Finnish study found that this workload produced the greatest boosts in testosterone.


15. Do Three Sets of Each Weight-Lifting Movement
Researchers at Penn State determined that this fosters greater increases in testosterone than just one or two sets. Rest a full minute between sets, so you can regain enough strength to continue lifting at least 70 percent of your one-rep maximum during the second and third sets.

16. Rest Harder Than You Work Out
If you overtrain -- meaning you don't allow your body to recuperate adequately between training sessions -- your circulating testosterone levels can plunge by as much as 40 percent, according to a study at the University of North Carolina. The symptoms of overtraining are hard to miss: irritability, insomnia & muscle shrinkage. To avoid overtraining, make sure you sleep a full eight hours at night, and never stress the same muscles with weight-lifting movements two days in a row.

17. Go To Sleep.
Sleeping less than seven to eight hours a night can screw up your circadian rhythm. That's why it's no wonder your testosterone levels are higher in the morning after a good night's sleep. So if your work or social schedule keeps you stooped in perpetual jet lag, don't be surprised if you stop craving sex.

Another study suggests that male patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea produce lower levels of testosterone, resulting in decreased libido and sexual activity. Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology found that nearly half of the subjects who suffered from severe sleep apnea also secreted abnormally low levels of testosterone throughout the night. Previous research had failed to establish a scientific link between decreased libido in men and OSA, because the studies only measured testosterone levels upon awakening.

18. Supplements
There were only 2 I’ve found so far that did something positive:
Tribulus terrestris is a natural herb, which has been used for centuries in Europe as a treatment for impotence and as a stimulant to help enhance sexual drive and performance. This potent herb has been studied and observed to enhance LH (luteinizing hormone) production and boost testosterone levels and its effects have been coveted by Bulgarian athletes for decades.

Zinc - Another mineral essential to sexual function is zinc. The zinc content of the prostate gland and sperm is higher than in any other body tissues. A deficiency of zinc is associated with numerous sexual problems, including sperm abnormalities and prostate disease. Zinc is necessary for the production of testosterone, and also helps to maintain vaginal lubrication. Stress, caffeine, smoking, and alcohol consumption increase the need for zinc. Zinc-rich foods include nuts, eggs, beef, legumes, chicken, whole grains, and seafood -- especially oysters! This may explain the legendary effectiveness of oysters as an aphrodisiac.



Other Notes:
Vasectomy - There is no evidence to show that vasectomy causes a low testosterone level.

Depression - Clinical depression can lower testosterone levels. Medical advice should be sought for treatment of depression.

Significant medical illness - Any significant medical illness can cause a fall in testosterone levels during the period of the illness.

Drugs - You can replenish your testosterone stores with injections, gels, pills or patches, but these medical treatments are no panacea: Side effects include acne, high cholesterol, shrunken testicles and liver damage. Further, don't take supplements like DHEA or androstenedione to boost testosterone; they might increase your risks of prostate cancer and heart disease.


Finally about other sex aphrodisiacs – these may well increase sex drive and boost your reproductive system but many contain compounds similar to estrogen, which for PE is not a good idea – get your big dick first then try these.
Here’s Ginseng as an example.

Ginseng (Panax ginseng, Panax quinquefolius, Eleutherococcus senticosus)
No herb has a stronger reputation for revving up the reproductive system. There are three major varieties of ginseng that all boast compounds similar to the female sex hormone estrogen. In addition, ginseng contains phytochemicals that lessen fatigue and increase stamina.

Bravo .Finally a competent individual who obviously knows what he's talking about .. and not just some pubescent teenager with an opinion ...

thank you for an interesting read keep up the good work
