Libido problems

LOL, I didn't actually COUNT protein powders as muscle-building substances :tongue2:

Using protein powders isn't very wise. If you look at meat, fish, fowl, cheese and soy blocks if you're a veggie and run them through a nutrient database (the very best one I know is the USDA Nutrient Database at http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl ) you will find out they easily contain 15-25% protein, so if you eat 5 ounces of one of these you easily rake in an ounce of pure protein which is a walloping amount.

The powershake people work like this: They pay money for milk or soy. They pay money to extract the protein. They pay money for advertizing, pleasing packaging, design etc. And then you buy the tub and pay through the nose, like four or more times the $ it has cost them to produce and market it in the first place.

And what'ya get? A bland shake of (milk)protein, (corn)starch, (beet)sugar and if you pay bigger bucks some vits and mins too.
Oh yeah.. and a lot of artificial flavors and what have you not. If you were a farmer and fed your beasts from most of these tubs the Animal Liberation Front will siege your farm to free the poor beasties AND kick your ass for cruelty to animals. And in the light of food additives I have seen displayed on some tubs, the meat would be labled as unfit for human consumption anyway.

Meat contains protein, vitamins, minerals, DNA components, creatine, nonintrusive amounts of steroids and you basically EAT muscle to GROW muscle, which sounds quite natural to me! Aside from that meat is a known aphrodisiac in the bodily sense.

The very best thing would be fish, one of the kinds with a high fat content naturally. These are wild, untampered animals containing the healthiest protein, are very low in mammalian steroids (like cholesterol) which you can do without if that makes you feel better :wink:

and on top of that all fish "fat"in fact is fish OIL, one of the most insanely healthy dietary substances that can be had and which will not make you gain the wrong pounds.

Testosterone (and analogues) as it is used as an anabolic steroid is very detrimental to both psychotic and libido disturbances. For most men there is no harm in a slight supplementation of it, but the "regular" amounts used in gyms are disastrous. In low amounts testosterone etc are beneficial for libido. But take a little too much (individual amount) and you will tend towards violent and sexual agression instead of love.

Worse still: the organs that are stimulated at first become overstimulated and decrease or cease to function. You will stop putting out your own androgens and anabolics, your testicles will shrivel, you will age more rapidly, tend to the agressive and your libido will be severely impaired as will your ability to retain a love-based relationship.

Anabolics are for AIDS patients, muscle atrophy, the female-to-male transsexual sex change and other people that really need them but not for people with dozens of pounds of beef on them that want to gain dozens more. If you want that He-Man bod you go and WORK out because if you try to CHEAT out there'll be a bitter price to pay. There are studies that suggest that if an anabolic makes you gain a year's worth of muscle in three months (a bodybuilder's dream-come-true) that this is because your body has AGED a year's worth in three months time.

Think of it like amphetamine. (do not use the shite) If you pop a tab you'll be more productive. Take two and you'll be more productive and happy about it too. Bit take ten and you grind your teeth to the gums, you're holding on with all your might because your heart practically explodes and your bloodpressure is up to the point of all sorts of veins popping up (or just popping and give you a stroke) you are at the brink of psychosis or beyond it (the single, reasonably modest dose of Amphetamine i ever took gave me amphetamine psychosis) and you are not productive at all, and instead of feeling OK you have never felt as bad as that before -ever-.

Marijuana may be beneficial to psychological impotence but detrimental to the physical kind. It is a mixed bag. I would not want to recommend marijuana for people with psychotic disorders as it is an absolute, non-negotiable fact that some people with psychosis can be plunged into deeper depths of psychosis, or get a relapse, after just a single joint. (these are Dutch facts and not USA hysteria politics)
