DH and supps Q....

[Hobbermittens]

Since he has been taking the supps, DH has taken longer to finish in bed. Is that the result of that Carnitine stuff? When I last bought it at the drug store, the lady helping me (I know her) asked why I needed it: "Your husband must not be having any problems down there--you have 3 kids!" :suprise:

Anyway, does that stuff act like viagra, or what?

Hmmm....I just got some for my DH, I will report back in a couple weeks!

Since he has been taking the supps, DH has taken longer to finish in bed. Carnitine is supposed to raise testosterone. I'm giving it (among other things (in hope) to raise his sex drive, but he might as well be dead how low his sex drive is. 1-2 times a week, weekends only! :mad:
I'm giving him:

L-Carnitine ( it seems it takes him longer to come :think: Idk if it's L-Carnitine ?) Does Viagra have that sort of effect?
CoQ - 10
Zinc 25mg
Vit C 500 mg
Vit E 400 IU
Foli Acid 400 mcg
Garlic capsules
Fish Oil 1000 mg

I am guessing the L-Carnitine helps with something. I am guessing it is the culprit for the longer than usual sex. I guess I shouldn't complain.

My DH's sex drive isn't what it used to be back when we were younger, but I guess that also might be because we are older, have kids, etc. and he always seems tired when we finally do get a moment alone!

WOW that's crazy! Thank you for sharing that info.

FWIW my husband takes FOREVER and has ever since we've been together, so 20 years. It's actually kind of a problem because I don't always want to schedule in 90 minutes at the end of my day and he feels like anything less than that is boring and lame, IKYKWIM.

My point??? Oh yeah. Just that taking a while doesn't keep a guy from making boys!

[Hobbermittens]

Atomic--your DH is slow in the sack too, eh? I know I shouldn't complain, but I am fast, so it gets kind of...tiring, I guess, when I have to keep going just for DH. But it is good to know that it doesn't mean anything as far as swimmers are concerned!

I TOTALLY agree! I have OTHER things to do with my day (like SLEEP) and it's hard for me to stay interested for hours after my business has been completed LOL!!!

I was even thinking, it may be that going on for a long time might help make more sperm and/or semen??? Gotta look into that.

ETA - I do not advise looking into that! I got some Google hits that I would rather NOT have ever even read the titles of! o.O Thanks to Wikipedia I found out that having sex (rather than masturbating) increases sperm count by 70-120% (WOW) and semen amount by 25-40%, probably from secretions from the prostate which we know to be higher in pH. So I can see that DTD a long time may give enough time for those numbers to rise to the higher end of that scale!!!

Interesting theory! Let me know what you figure out about that. Then maybe I won't complain so much! :wink:

Awesome!! I can only imagine some of the stuff that came up when you googled.... :suprise:

i have heard and read in teh past the same thing. that longer make out session prpduce more T and more semen thus more sperm thus more Y sperm (bc the count is higher) and ive always been told by some very amateur friends in this topic to make out for a long time.

i hope its not the l-carnitine, bc my dh is taking it too!

I'm giving him:



hahah!thats my dh to a T!!! we actually talked about this exact thing last night and he says its bc of kids, he doesnt feel as sexual anymore and now he relates to sex as making babies. but that he does hget horny but at the wrong times (liek at work when im not around or while driving, etc) and that by then ttime we get to bed he s exhausted.
he also reminded me that im in my 30s and women tend to be more sexually active (the most actually..like high school boys!) so thats why i feel like i always need =to jump him any chance i get!!! i dhoulfve married a teenage boy (just for now tho! haha)


he s also told me that if im too wet (soprry tmi) that there is no friction (someone else mentioned this in another post) and its the same for dh. when iused preseed for TTC DD1 it took him longer to finish bc it was too slippery. so we abandoned it or used less for DD2. last night, when we did it (sorry tmi) it took him very LONG time bc i was too wet (im about to O' thats why. and i get a lot of ewcm when i am about to). but there are times when the CM is just right. also when he putrs a condom on it lessens the "feeling" so it takes longer... ugh i hate waiting around too! when im done im DONE!!! ;-)

Just to clarify, it's not that there are more Y sperm, but that there are more sperm all together, which seems to give the Y sperm an advantage that we don't understand.
