A lot of guys I talk to don&#8217;t realize that taking a semen/volume enhancer does more than just increase your semen, so I thought I&#8217;d take a few minutes and discuss some of the lesser-known benefits of increasing your ejaculate.</p>
<p><strong>Benefit #1 &#8211; Increased sex drive</strong></p>
<p>Most volume enhancers/semen pills increase your semen volume by increasing your testosterone.</p>
<p>Translation?</p>
<p>You&#8217;re gonna be a LOT hornier (unless you&#8217;re already a nympho). Make sure your lover is ready to do it more often and with more intensity, because you&#8217;re going to be more of a sexual superstar than you&#8217;re used to being&#8230;trust me!</p>
<p><strong>Benefit #2 &#8211; Overwhelming confidence</strong></p>
<p>You hear this advertised on every semen enhancing product&#8217;s website, and you might be thinking they&#8217;re just trying to sell more product&#8230;but you&#8217;d be wrong.</p>
<p>There is something about pumping out a LOT of cum that just makes a man feel like&#8230;a man. Girls may tell you that it doesn&#8217;t matter to them (I don&#8217;t believe them) but you as a guy know that if you had to choose between pumping out a regular load or a super-sized load&#8230;we&#8217;d all pick the BIGGER load.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Because a bigger load just screams out that you&#8217;re chock full of masculinity&#8230;and knowing that adds an aura of confidence that women WILL notice&#8230;so get ready!</p>
<p><strong>Benefit #3 &#8211; Increased fertility</strong></p>
<p>Now if you&#8217;re like that couple in Canada with 18 kids, you might question whether this really falls into the category of &#8220;benefit&#8221;, but I know the thousands and thousands of impotent men and those with low sperm count would tell you differently.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing more emasculating to a man than to hear you don&#8217;t have &#8220;enough&#8221; to make a new life&#8230;to bring a child into the world. And it&#8217;s not a one-time pain&#8230;you&#8217;ll feel it every time you hear about some other couple getting pregnant, or hear some other couple talking about their kids. It&#8217;s not a good feeling, trust me. It&#8217;s definitely, definitely something you should avoid having to go through in your lifetime.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re one of those guys I&#8217;m talking about, you know how much of a benefit this would be, and I hope you are taking a semen enhancer on a daily basis, so that I can hear your success story very soon. If you&#8217;re not one of those guys, don&#8217;t think you never will be&#8230;it happens to a lot of guys and most of them never expected it. Impotency and/or a low sperm count can happen to any guy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[wp-simple-survey]<br />
<strong>Does what I eat affect my sex drive?</strong></p>
<p>Yes, something as simple as what you eat can increase, or decrease your sex drive. To avoid launching into a huge scientific discussion on how foods influence sex drive, let me just sum it up by saying foods that increase sex drive are foods that raise testosterone levels.</p>
<p>Eating the wrong foods can actually decrease your testosterone level and raise your estrogen level. Estrogen is a group of hormones that increases sex drive in women, but decreases sex drive in men, so if you&#8217;re a guy, you want to avoid anything that increases estrogen.</p>
<p><strong>Are there foods to increase libido?</strong></p>
<p>Yes. There are many different foods that increase sex drive, but we&#8217;re going to cover the most popular and the easiest to get. Be warned, not all of these foods are going to be on your favorites list, but try to focus on the end result.</p>
<p>•    Oysters are full of protein, magnesium, and zinc. They are actually the richest food source of zinc. Zinc is one of the key nutrients that aids in sperm production. Eating cooked, canned, or raw oysters once a week will also cause muscle growth.<br />
•    Grilled or broiled lean beef is high in protein, iron, magnesium, and zinc. There are very few foods that have a higher impact on testosterone levels than a big juicy steak.<br />
•    Beans, whether they are baked, canned, lima, kidney, or navy, are the best vegetable when it comes to zinc. They are also high in fiber and protein.<br />
•    Poultry is high in protein without being as fatty as beef. Roasted or grilled, chicken and turkey should be eaten at least 2-3 times a week.</p>
<p>•    Eggs are an excellent source of cholesterol. Testosterone is basically manufactured from cholesterol. You should have some every day unless advised otherwise by a physician.<br />
•    Eating a cup of cottage cheese every day will increase protein without increasing fat intake.<br />
•    Broccoli is high in Indole-3-carbinol and fiber. Indole-3-carbinol helps reduce estrogen levels. Eat as many servings as you can.<br />
•    Cabbage is also high in Indole-3-carbinol and fiber. Try adding coleslaw and sauerkraut to your diet. This will also help to control weight gain.<br />
•    Brussels sprouts are also great sources of Indole-3-carbinol and fiber.<br />
•    Raw Celery contains androsterone, which is released through male perspiration and turns women on.</p>
<p>•    Avocados are high in folic acid, which increases energy and stamina. They also contain the vitamin B6, which promotes male hormone production.<br />
•    Figs not only can improve libido, but they also can increase sexual stamina.<br />
•    Garlic is often avoided because of the smell. However, it actually increases the blood flow to your sexual organs.  If you don’t want to have to worry about your breath, try taking some capsules instead.</p>
<p>Besides zinc, magnesium, protein, and Indole-3-carinole there are several other vitamins and minerals that are important for sperm production and increased libido; Linoleic acid, which is found in vegetable oils and nuts, is important for sperm production; and Phytoestrogens, which are found in soy products and tofu, they can reduce risk of prostate cancer and prevent tumor growth.</p>
<p><strong>What if I&#8217;m already eating those foods? What else can I do to increase my sex drive?</strong></p>
<p>If your diet isn’t the problem, you might need to try a sexual enhancement pill. Think of it like a vitamin for your sex life and you&#8217;ll understand why it&#8217;s so important. A great sex drive requires a healthy body and the right amount of vitamins, so if your sex drive is lacking, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Volume Pills | Increase Your Sex Drive" href="http://www.my-linker.com/hop/VolumePillsWebsite" target="_blank"><strong>invest in a sexual vitamin</strong></a></span> and take your love life to a whole another level!</p>
<p>Remember, libido is a very important part of your health, so make sure yours is in good working order. Your lover will thank you!</p>

To better understand your problem and the solutions available, it helps to know just what&#8217;s happening inside you to cause this problem in the first place.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a quick tour of your insides and see if we can pinpoint the problem&#8230;</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3280/2676831456_5ac15e1c5e.jpg?v=0" alt="" hspace="15" /></p>
<p>Now before we get started, there&#8217;s something that has to be made clear.</p>
<p>Semen and sperm are not the same thing.</p>
<p>Semen is composed of sperm and secretions from several other parts of your body (seven to be exact). These secretions are designed to help transport the sperm safely to its destination.</p>
<p>Sperm refers to the actual spermatozoa (the &#8220;baby makers&#8221;) and only makes up about one or two percent of an average &#8220;load&#8221; of semen.</p>
<p>Now that we have cleared that up, let&#8217;s do a quick rundown of where sperm comes from.</p>
<p>Sperm is produced in the testicles, or testis, shown in the bottom of our diagram. From there they move upward to the epididymis (right above the testis) where they spend a few months &#8220;maturing.&#8221;</p>
<p>After maturing, the sperm moves up through the vas deferens, past the seminal vesicle, prostate gland, Cowpers Gland* and glands of Littre* (not shown) and on towards the tip of the penis.</p>
<p>Secretions are gathered from each of these different areas, what you and I would call semen, to help protect the sperm on its long journey.</p>
<p>Now that you know the origin and makeup of semen and sperm, it&#8217;s easy to see why there&#8217;s more than one answer to the question &#8220;Why am I not producing more semen/sperm?&#8221;</p>
<p>It could be that you have an enlarged prostate and that is decreasing the amount of semen you are producing, or your testosterone might be a little low, inhibiting your production of sperm, or maybe just something as simple as you aren&#8217;t drinking enough water.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to address as many issues as you can, to help ensure that you are achieving your maximum &#8220;load&#8221; each and every time.</p>

<p><strong>1. Get in shape</strong></p>
<p>Getting in shape is a great way to increase your ejaculate volume and potency. Working out raises testosterone which increases sperm production not to mention the overall benefit for your health.</p>
<p>Just remember to keep your workout sessions short and anaerobic (not cardio), because spending too long at the gym or doing too much cardio will actually lower testosterone.</p>
<p><strong>2. Stay hydrated and eat right</strong></p>
<p>So many people overlook this easy way to increase your volume&#8230;just drink enough water everyday and eat foods that help you increase your testosterone levels. The right amount of water will vary depending on your needs, but you should be getting 6 to 8 glasses a day at least.</p>
<p>As for your diet, think nuts, leafy vegetables, white meat chicken, and salmon to name a few. Avoid fried foods and caffeine, because they slow or stop your testosterone production.</p>
<p><strong>3. Avoid the late night parties</strong></p>
<p>Okay, maybe you don&#8217;t have to avoid all of them, but those late night parties have a couple of enemies to increased semen volume:</p>
<ul>
<li>Alcohol &#8211; a few drinks aren&#8217;t a problem, but heavy drinking (three or four drinks in an hour) is a surefire way to make your testosterone levels go into a freefall.</li>
<li>Lost sleep &#8211; Researchers have discovered that not getting enough sleep (think 7 to 8 hours a night) will cause your testosterone levels to sink faster than the Titanic.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>4. Enjoy your morning wood.</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s right&#8230;enjoy it.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Because having an erection actually helps boost your testosterone levels and having one in the morning will help build on that testosterone you&#8217;ve been accumulating all night.</p>
<p><strong>5. Take a sperm increasing supplement.</strong></p>
<p>A lot of people don&#8217;t think this is necessary, but it&#8217;s really an invaluable part of your volume increasing regimen.</p>
<p>See, there are a lot of good herbs and vitamins you can take to increase your semen/sperm. I&#8217;m talking about well-documented, proven herbs.</p>
<p>Now you can run around town and buy each one individually, but the easiest solution is to just buy a sperm increasing supplement that has everything you&#8217;re looking for and take just one or two pills a day, not 17.</p>

<br />
<em>For all you guys looking to increase your load, testosterone is a KEY component. Increasing testosterone not only increases libido, it also helps increase semen and sperm production &#8211; meaning more sex AND a bigger ejaculation &#8211; definitely a win-win situation! Read on to learn more&#8230;</em></p>
<p>Increased testosterone is tied to youthful characteristics that typically decline with aging: lower body fat, increased muscle strength and size, greater bone density (and resilience to injury), improved mood and maximum libido. Pharmaceutical researchers have developed ways to supplement testosterone with patches and pills, however the best research only indicates improved health effects in elderly men who have significantly reduced natural testosterone. Long-term effects of artificial testosterone supplementation are not yet known. </p>
<p>So let’s get to the exercises. The basic technique is as follows: raise (or push or pull) weights over ten seconds, then lower it in four seconds. To assist your counting, you might try fast breathing, inhale one second then exhale the next; your muscles need the oxygen anyway. Note there are effective variations: try a four count up with a ten count drop, or simply ten counts in each direction, up and down.</p>
<p><b style="font-size:14px;">Group A: Upper Body Emphasis</b></p>
<p><strong>Flat bench press </strong></p>
<p>Observe proper bench press form: back remains flatly connected to the bench throughout the exercise (no arching), feet on the floor or legs raised in the air with ankles crossed; raise and lower weight with controlled movement, being careful to lightly touch the sternum or hover an inch above it, then extend the arms fully to the top, with a final pinch-flex of the pectorals to finish out each repetition. For a warm up, just do a brisk-speed set of five to eight repetitions, to familiarize your muscles with the task at hand.</p>
<p>With the super-slow method, the point is not to lift the maximum amount of weight; you will achieve failure with less in five to 12 repetitions. After achieving failure, rest no more than five seconds, then do a quick-movement set of three to ten reps, just to top it out.</p>
<p>Safety note: Beginners and advanced trainees need to consider the risk involved in achieving muscle failure with heavy weights over their head, neck and torso regions. To reduce this risk, work with a spotter or instead perform these exercises with a machine where failure at worse produces a loud crashing noise and possible damage to the equipment and your ego (better those things than your face).</p>
<p><strong>One-arm dumbbell press</strong></p>
<p>Grasp a dumbbell with one hand, then stand with the weight at shoulder level and the palm facing forward. Engaging the whole body in the movement (adding core and leg muscles also increases intensity and therefore testosterone), slowly press the weight upward over ten seconds, and return it to the starting point in four seconds. When muscle failure is achieved on one side, press up on the other with no rest. Repeat on the first side also with no rest, followed again by the second.</p>
<p><strong>Overhead tricep press</strong></p>
<p>Standing, grasp a single dumbbell at the ends or other weight that can be held by both hands together. Point the elbows to the ceiling, attempting to keep the elbows above the ears throughout the exercise. On a ten-second count, raise the dumbbell straight up, simultaneous pushing the hands toward each other as you also raise the weight. This adds an isometric dimension to the work and helps you achieve muscle failure with less weight.</p>
<p><strong>Lateral dumbbell lifts/fig leaf start</strong></p>
<p>Hold a set of dumbbells with both weights starting at the “fig leaf” (pelvic region) spot. Palms start facing each other, then they face the floor as you slowly raise the dumbbells to the side up to the shoulder level. Keep a consistent, slightly bent angle to the elbows in a fly, gull wing-like position. Return to the starting point and repeat to failure.</p>
<p><strong>Modified pushups (several methods)</strong></p>
<p>The proper form of a basic pushup ensures its intensity: by holding a plank form throughout (maintain a straight line from your head through the neck, torso, hips and knees), you engage core muscles along with the arms, chest and neck. But several variations can take this basic exercise to a whole new level:</p>
<p>• Medicine ball base: Place both hands on a firm medicine ball (about the size of a soccer ball) instead of on the floor. Raise and lower using the super-slow technique.</p>
<p>• One arm emphasis: Slightly shift your weight to the right-center side of your body, engaging the right arm and chest in handling 60 percent or more of the work. After fatiguing on the first side, shift to the opposite side.</p>
<p>• Superwide stance: As the name suggests, place hands on the floor in a very wide position. Raise and lower on a 10-second, 4-second count respectively.</p>
<p>• Elevated feet/wall pushups: On a box or step ranging anywhere from six inches to five feet (higher is more challenging), place both feet on the elevated surface and proceed to perform a proper-form pushup in the super-slow method.</p>
<p><b style="font-size:14px;">Group B: Lower Body Emphasis</b></p>
<p><strong>Basic squat</strong></p>
<p>Proper form with squats are essential to preventing injury: with a moderate weight (for beginner and intermediate-level trainees) on the shoulders behind the neck, stand with feet shoulder-width or greater. Knees should be bent at the start, with hips pitched back, stomach held in (core muscles need to be engaged throughout to support the back), and shoulders held up. Use a mirror to check form.</p>
<p>Super-slow techniques applied to squats and other leg muscles are most effective at increasing testosterone levels. These are the largest muscles in the body, increasing testosterone even further because core and upper body muscles must be engaged as well.</p>
<p>As with the flat bench press (above), risk in this particular exercise must be taken into consideration. If you have no one to spot you, perform these exercises on a machine instead to truly achieve muscle failure. Likely, you’ll achieve greater results overall when that worry is eliminated.</p>
<p><strong>Cable or machine abductors</strong></p>
<p>Cable machines are terrific tools for testosterone-building exercises because the level of resistance is constant and the built-in safety factor allows the trainee to push his limits. Some machines are made precisely for this exercise; but a basic cable on a pulley near the floor will suffice. Stand at a perpendicular to the path of the cable, with the cable attached to the outer leg. Press that leg outward on a ten-count, returning it in four seconds. For variation, slightly shift your stance and the angle at which you press the leg outward (more oblique-angle paths of motion).</p>
<p><strong>Barbell lunges</strong></p>
<p>Stand in the lunge position: one leg back, the other forward. As you lower your hips toward the floor, be sure the forward knee always remains above or behind the ankle, never allowing that knee to hinge ahead of the ankle. If it does go forward, either increase the distance between the two feet or lower your hips in a back-hinge movement. For intensity, place a barbell between the legs, grasped with both hands, and proceed to lunge. Use super-slow method to failure, then repeat on the opposite side. For extra-deep lunges, place a cushioning mat underneath the back knee.</p>
<p><strong>Machine leg curls</strong></p>
<p>Otherwise known as hamstring curls, machine curls enable an intense hit of testosterone-increasing exercise on the back side of the legs. Employ a super-slow pace to this exercise, then follow it with a regular-speed-but-to-failure set with only five seconds rest in between.</p>
<p><strong>Machine leg extensions</strong></p>
<p>Similar to the leg curls, employ the basic leg extension machine to failure, then follow-up within five seconds with a regular speed set. You might achieve failure on that second set sooner than expected.</p>
<p><b style="font-size:14px;">How to structure a workout</b></p>
<p>There are some basic ways to structure a workout so that you are packing the most exercise into a period of time. Testosterone-building, high-intensity exercise does not necessarily mean spending extra time at the gym. Quite the contrary, when you achieve true muscle failure and rest very little between exercise modalitites, you will likely finish your workout in less time.</p>
<p>To that point, it also makes sense to use multiple body parts within an exercise session. Some rules to guide you on that are as follows (these are consistent with other exercise hubs by this writer, such as “Exercise on a schedule: Busy people use the 1-hour workout solution”):</p>
<p>1. Alternate exercise between the upper and lower body: For example, start with a squat, then follow it with a shoulder press and crunches.</p>
<p>2. Throw in a set of core exercises: Yup, the core matters, hence the need to perform crunches, good morning (lower back), and side planks (prop yourself up on one arm, facing sideways, and alternately raise and lower the hips). Why so important? If your core is weak, you’re both prone to injuries from exercise and are limited in how much weight the upper body can lift.</p>
<p>3. Inject a short burst of high-intensity cardiovascular work in the middle of your workout: For example, run at high speed on a treadmill in the middle of your workout. Maintain that: speed for 60 seconds, then slow for 30, then resume it again for 60 more seconds.</p>
<p><b style="font-size:14px;">Is there danger in too much testosterone?</b></p>
<p>Some may argue that limited testosterone could reduce barroom brawls, construction site wolf whistles and unwise military excursions. A recent study even links higher testosterone with riskier business decisions, with both good and bad outcomes (see link below). We’ll leave it up to others to decide if the world needs more testosterone. On an individual basis, we’ll assume you will use all the physical and physiological benefits of increased testosterone for good. Please do.</p>
