It’s another weekend; you already know what the Twitter gentleman, Oli Ekun, says about that. Today, let’s talk about Wale. He has been looking forward to this day for a while. Like JCole claims to have done in his song ‘Wet Dreamz’, he does all sorts of research in preparation. However, unlike Joe in the song, when it’s time to do the deed, he comes up a little short.

Obviously down because of it, he goes down a spiral, looking for ways things could be different next time. And it’s at that point that one of his friends recommends he drink something called “Jekanmo.” Things like Jekanmo might not seem like such a bad thing, but let us examine the consequences and possible benefits of them.

Sexual Enhancers

Jekanmo is an example of a sex enhancer, though a local one. Sexual enhancers are substances that increase sexual potency, pleasure, or libido. They increase libido by altering the concentrations of specific neurotransmitters or sex hormones in the central nervous system. Sex enhancers have been used for millennia, and there are numerous products on the market today. It is crucial to note, however, that not all sex enhancers are safe or effective. Some products may cause major negative effects, while others may not function at all. This article will provide an overview of the various types of sex enhancers, their possible benefits and risks, and how to select a safe and effective product.

Types of Sexual Enhancers

Aphrodisiacs

Popular examples of these are your local manpower drinks. Examples of these include jékánmò, mókóle, fapátáya and other popular libido drinks. According to NAFDAC, most of these products do not have approval from the agency and are usually smuggled into the country. And excessive use of them may result in a stroke or sudden death.  Also, when there is an abnormally large flow of blood to a specific location of the body that lasts longer than usual, it tends to disturb the normal flow of the circulatory system. The aphrodisiacs also interact with other drugs in the system. The liver is in charge of medication breakdown, whereas all waste passes through the kidneys as a by-product.

When these things are combined, especially with some herbal medicines that lack dosage and a professional prescription, it can result in internal organ damage. It can harm the liver and kidneys, resulting in premature death. And then for people who already have health risks, people who are hypertensive or have heart disease are more likely to experience anxiety as a result of the medicine, and anxiety can lead to changes in the physiology of the body, including stroke or sudden heart stoppage. These occur when men suddenly droop during sexual intercourse.

Prescription Medicine

These include pills like Viagra and medications used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), a prevalent sexual health problem affecting men. They function by boosting blood flow to the penis, making an erection simpler to achieve when sexually stimulated.They function by boosting blood flow to the penis, making an erection simpler to achieve when sexually stimulated. This is how they work:

When a guy gets sexually aroused or turned on, his body produces nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes the blood vessels of the penis to relax and dilate. This relaxation allows more blood to flow into the penis, which causes it to stiffen up and become erect. Some men, however, struggle with this process, which is where Viagra comes in. Viagra contains sildenafil, a chemical that helps relax the blood vessels in the penis. When you take Viagra, it helps to keep the nitric oxide effect going, allowing more blood to flow into the penis. 

When a man is sexually excited, the increased blood flow can make it simpler for him to obtain and maintain an erection. It is critical to remember the following:

• Viagra does not work without sexual desire or stimulus. It will not spontaneously create an erection.
• Take Viagra 30 minutes to an hour before you intend to have intercourse. It does not function immediately.
• It is not suitable for everyone. You should only use Viagra if a doctor recommends it to you after reviewing your medical history and health.
• Viagra, like any medicine, can have adverse effects such as headaches or stomach discomfort. These side effects are often moderate and transient.

Consequences of Sex Enhancement Drugs

It is important to note that these adverse effects do not affect everyone, and for many people, any side effects are minimal and transient. Here are some of the most prevalent negative effects associated with these medications:

• One of the most prevalent side effects is a headache. It can range in intensity from mild to moderate and usually appears quickly after taking the medicine. This side effect can be mitigated by drinking plenty of water and avoiding alcohol.
• Some people may suffer from redness or warmth in their face and neck. This is due to the medicines’ ability to widen blood vessels. It is usually temporary and harmless.
• Changes in eyesight: Some people have transient changes in their eyesight, such as increased sensitivity to light, blurred vision, or a blueish tinge to their vision. This is more common with Viagra, but it is generally temporary. If you notice unexpected changes in your vision, seek medical assistance right away.
• Dizziness or lightheadedness: These medications might produce a reduction in blood pressure, which can cause dizziness or lightheadedness. It is critical to avoid tasks that demand mental attention, such as driving, until you have a better understanding of how the medicine affects you.
• Muscular Aches and Back Discomfort: While taking these drugs, some people may develop muscular aches, including back discomfort. These side effects are usually minor and only last a short time.
• Priapism is a rare but serious side effect that is characterized by a prolonged, painful erection lasting more than four hours. If this happens, get quick medical assistance because priapism might cause a severe penile injury.
• If you encounter adverse effects, they usually go away after a while or when you change the dosage.

It is critical to do the following before utilizing sex-enhancing drugs:

• Discuss any underlying health issues or medications you are taking with your healthcare provider, as they may have an impact on medication selection and dose.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions and recommendations.
• Inform your healthcare practitioner right away if you have any unexpected or severe adverse effects.
• Do not exceed the specified dosage, and do not combine these prescriptions with recreational substances, since this can be hazardous
