First post here from a 34 year old who has seen his body change the last few years. I am healthy according to my recent physical (only very slightly anemic) but the last few years I have noticed a lower sex drive, less ejaculate, less energy, poor mood, and symptoms of depression and anxiety. I also recently got diagnosed with moderate depression and am set to begin counseling shortly. I had not been eating healthy, exercising regularly, or hydrating properly. I’m 6’, I weigh 170lb and I’m at about 25% body fat according to my recent physical. I have been dating a girl for many years and sex is fine, but we both seem to have lost some interest, her more so than me.
I have been researching supplements to help alleviate some of the symptoms I’m experiencing, specifically lack of energy, low libido and poor mood. In that research I found this thread and realized something else that had changed, my loads got smaller compared to what I used to put out. For whatever reason, I used to be able to launch a thick stream of cum like a rocket several feet, and produced so much most of the time that I would often hear comments about it. It was a source of pride to be sure. The last couple years my orgasms have definitely suffered on average.
I have been making gradual changes to my routine to improve myself in the last couple weeks, and I can say that in regards to greater orgasms the biggest and best change has been simply drinking close to a gallon of water a day. I like to reuse gatorade/powerade 32oz bottles (quart size), so 4 of them is my goal. In addition, I have been eating several celery stalks every day with some peanut butter. I just ordered the “holy grail” supplements and they have not arrived yet so I’ll report back on that.
My results so far? Conservatively a 50-100% increase in semen output compared to before. My ejaculate also no longer has the yellow tinge as before, it looks clean, white and thick. Taste seems to have mildly improved as well. I remember one woman told me once that all cum tasted kind of like bleach to her. Ever since then I’ve been sensitive to the smell of my ejaculate and often smelled a bleachy smell. That is gone now. Up until recently when I would ejaculate much of it would be thin and runny, with some parts of it “chunky”. It now seems to be much more homogenized, and on average thicker, with just the right kind of consistency I would want to see. Finally, I believe that on average I am shooting 1-2 more “ropes” of semen. It’s still highly variable based on how long I abstain, and how aroused I am, but anecdotally I believe I also shoot a little more ejaculate with each “rope” than I had been.
To anyone reading this who has yet to try, don’t discount the simple stuff. Drink as much water as you can stand, and eat that celery! I’ll report back after getting the supplements. I am also one of those who produces next to no pre-cum whatsoever, so I do hope that the sunflower Lecithin helps there.
