About 4 of my friends have put a stop to their NO Xplode pre-workout regimen. They swear up and down that they are having difficulty getting "It up" because of the product. Once discontinuing the use of NO Xplode they stopped having any more symptoms of ED. My question is, is this just a mental thing? or is there an active ingredient in NO Xplode or any other pre-workout supplement for that matter, that would lead to a correlation with Erectile Dysfunction?
Any insight on the subject would be appreciated, thanks again.

it could just be a matter of shyness while you're all in the circle...
you're all a little self-conscious. that's cool...
maybe a little wine will lower those inhibitions?

Ironic...if nothing else, it should HELP somebody with ED since NO-Xplode releases (or claims it releases) arginine, an NO precursor into the blood, which relaxes smooth muscles (like those found in the penis) to lead to an erection. This is similar to how viagra works - it blocks phosphodiesterase-5, which breaks down NO.
I was a biochem major, but don't know for sure why this is happeneing...it could be that the cells, in response to the added NO in the blood from the Xplode, are upregulating production of phospodiesterase-5 (which breaks down the NO molecule), so that after prolonged use of Xplode, the body needs more of it (arginine, NO) to get an erection.

the only times I have ever gotten ED was if i was about to have sex with a girl for the first time and I was drunk. if its the same girl over and over, its so easy to get a boner. nerves have something to do with it too

funny thing about arginine is that it works as a vasodilator for awhile then does a complete reversal over time, hence the reason I keep saying arginine is a complete epic fail in a NO product. Think about how many times you've heard people say that they used such and such pre workout NO product and in the beginning it was great then it just sort of "stopped working" then the usual story goes that they try to double the dose (or more) and still to no avail

Waning Boners After N.O. Xplode
I've been using NO Xplode for about 6-9 months, mainly on the weekends as I'm a long distance road cyclist. I then began taking it prior to weight training, 2-3x/week. Up until about three weeks ago, I was getting really good results in both my weight training and killin' it on the road (usually 60+ mile rides with some other horses). Additionally, I was super-horny much of the time--even on the days I wasn't using NO Xplode--almost like I was taking selegiline again (different topic).
Also, I began taking Dark Matter immediately after workouts and long rides, about two months ago.
Three weeks ago, I went from unabashed horndog to semi-hard erections. I can still get wood, but I can't hold it very long. This has NEVER happened to me, so it's caused me quite a bit of anguish.
So, the correlation is simply this: I've never had ED until recently--after taking NO Xplode and Dark Matter (beginning in June). You draw the conclusion.
I'm off those powders indefinitely.Last edited by SouthernWhacker; 07-13-2009 at 01:32 PM.
