Kava and sex

[ObiWan]

hm... since drinking Kava (now for more than three years daily) I recognize a dramatically reduce of sexual desire.
The longrest break I tried was three weeks, and it changed nothing. Until 2011 I was so horny that I could'nt go to work without watching a few porno sites to... relax.

Although I never took SSRI, I am frightened that Kava works in a simliar way and causes also PSSD

I don't know. Im married. My wife and I consume kava daily. We get it on, about the same as before kava. We generally don't do it directly after Kava, because Its not the mood. Generaly we do it 3 or 4 times a day, before our kava. Well maybe a little less than 3 or 4 times a day. You would have to ask @Roaddogs Wife , she seems to keep count better than I do. Much love.

I have had different experience with sex and kava. One time was extremely frustrating tbh. I'm not sure how to say this but I wasn't able to get off (which is never a problem lol). It seemed to make me numb.

I would say after doing the nasty, I mostly just want more kava.

My experience with Kava is that it is enormously powerful when it comes to sex. It both gives me more control and more stamina. The fact is that when I am very Kavalactified I don't even feel interested in sex until something turns me on, a touch a glance etc & then I have great ability to cum & go as I please. My wife has said at times when I have been completely fried on Isa/Tudey/Koniak that she could taste it, it was spicy and numbed her mouth. I am sorry to say that though not noble, Isa/Tudey/Koniak really REALLY was a good sex cultivar. There are others though. Moi is good...

Awesome honest feedback.!!!

Well, I've found kava usually puts me and the wife in such a blissful relaxed state that we rarely get around to fooling around after a session. However, the more stimulating kava varieties (solomon's) seem to put us more in the mood.

I don't want to upset anyone, I'll be honest with you. I don't think kava makes you more horny by it's own. It is only the effect of defusing anxiety and stress which does acctualy make a sense.

I have been thinking about that lately. I've tried to fine some more info, but no luck.
To me it has very similar side effects to ssri's. Which I've taken plenty of. Lack of interest, poor performance, inability to finish on occasion.

That's what a study found, two years ago.

An additional novel finding of the study, recently published in Phytotherapy Research was that Kava increased women's sex drive compared to those in the placebo group, believed to be due to the reduction of anxiety, rather than any aphrodisiac effect.​

Thank you @Maria and @Steve Mariotti for particiipating in our clinical trials last night. The results will be posted next month in the Kava Journal.

Steve, youe are a star! I read this article ages ago and couldn't find it recently!

It's a little bit dissapointing though. All the other natural herbal remedies seem to work in the same way. Lotus, Damiana, Saffron or Kanna (to be not confused with Cannabis. Kanna or Sceletum Tortuosum is a wonderful natural antidepressant) they are all natural muscle relaxants as well.

I have never encountered any scientific proof that backs up the idea that kava is an aphrodisiac. Most aphrodisiacs are not aphrodisiacs. They are perpetuated myths maintained to be true for long periods of time, usually centuries. They only work when conditions are right, just as @Maria alluded to above. When drinking a mood elevating strain, you may of course have a chance of experiencing better sexual mood. That's how life works though. Otherwise, the headaches of wives wouldn't matter on your birthday, anniversary, or any other day. I have no issues with placebo effect though. Whatever works, works. I would tell anyone to just do their own experiments. In my case, I have experienced the opposite of what some of the others above have said. They make me jealous. There are loads of aphrodisiacs out there that we all ignore. Trust me, I have worked in and traveled in Asia and I assure you that neither eel nor dog soup has ever given me a hard on. I haven't had chocolate covered strawberries sprinkled with chili powder before but I can assure you that if I eat enough of them, I will get sick before I get turned on. As I mentioned though, you have to try it yourself. You need to keep drinking the kava if you determine that it is giving you your chubbies. If it ain't broke, then don't try to fix it right? Good luck!

By the way, I am very open to read two separate articles arguing the potency properties of kava. Actually, I will read just about anything.

For you Kava Newbies, it's time for me to reveal the secret of the Kava Woodie. The Kava Woodie will wake you up at 2:30 in the morning to remind you to go to the bathroom. We call this the "Zombie Walk" because we are still in a kava stupor. However the helpful Kava Woodie will actually point the way to the bathroom and then retire when his job is done. His only job is to protect your from late night accidents. He is kinda a one trick pony.

Whose Beavis and Butthead? Is that on the Cartoon Channel? I guess I better watch my language around here.

There was an episode where Beavis (middle schooler cartoon guy) explained how sometimes he has to stand very far back in the bathroom sometimes. Toilet humor.
