Thank god I didn’t decide to add real Sandalwood to the mix, at $50 per ounce directly from a wholesale distributor like Camden, you guys would have been paying close to $100 for 10mL retail. :D Although, if I had money to burn, Sandalwood would probably kick ass for this purpose. If you ever get a chance in a store to smell real Sandalwood essential oil, ask if they mind if you take a few whiffs of it. Three deep breaths of it, and I swear I can feel my dick start to swell, and I noticed that reaction long before I ever heard of PE. I always just assumed it was a smell that just turned me on. Turns out there’s a chemical reason for it.

Two of the oils were 5 or 6 and I think the last one was maybe $10, but the Clary Sage was about $20 alone plus tax cause it was in the heart of Downtown (I hate sales tax here). It’s definitely been worth while though at this point.
I really kick myself in the ass that I didn’t remember the insane markup that retailers add to Essential Oils. It’s been so long since my wife discovered Camden-Grey, I forgot what a bargain their EOs were. I am really sorry to you guys that bought locally at markup.
I’ve got to get myself into Bed and Bodyworks, last I knew, I could have sworn they only carried infused oils, not essential oils. I’ll check the local B&B this week.

I thought I had iron or something in my joint. It was pretty cool, but the difficult thing about it was it didn’t seem to want to fade at all. I sat in bed staring at my raging hard-on just hoping it would go down so I could walk down the hall to take a shower. All in all it’s been very helpful and proven to be well worth the amount of money I spent.
I’m really glad you still feel it was worth the money, I hope when it’s time to re-load, you do it with some online wholesale place like Camden-Grey or others! Great to hear about it’s effects on bruising. I’d probably blame the Lavender on that, but will have to research it a bit more. The "wood that won’t go away", I’d lay serious money on blaming the Clary Sage which, as Sparky points out, has the added benefit of being a prolactin inhibitor.

I have used it a few times now, and not really noticed anything. Of course, I don’t have any injuries, I mostly am using it to help prevent injuries and improve overall quanity and quality of wood.
That is one thing I have absolutely no reservation in saying about Camden-Grey, I know that their oils are of the highest quality. No doubt in my mind. I’d say, if you don’t notice a vascular reaction in a few days, slowly up the Rosemary concentration. If that doesn’t do anything, I’d say try a better source for the pure essential oils.

Shiver’s got some good info on this stuff, and has probably helped me in this more than he’s aware of (thank you by the way). From what I can gather, the general consensus is that it’s the presence of Prolactin in the CC's that cause the erection to subside, therefore inhibiting the prolactin for the purpose of keeping the erection longer and/or shortening the refractory period would have to take place in the CCs. The general consensus here is that very few chemical compounds will actually penetrate the fibrous tissues of the tunica to reach the CC’s to inhibit the prolactin where the reaction takes place. I cannot find a clinical report that shows any of these oils (or a combination of them utilizing their hydropholic/lipopholic balance) has shown an ability to penetrate the tunica, although I have found reports that Peppermint essential oil, which has a similar lipopholic structure to Rosemary oil, can easily penetrate similar tissues. (By the way, this does not mean you should experiment with peppermint oil, it’s great stuff, but a huge vasoconstrictor).
On the other hand, I can’t find any clinical data that shows that simple delivery to the dorsal artery (among others) which branches off and eventually feeds the CC’s through the fibers of the tunica, isn't enough to cause the desired reaction (maybe Shiver, Wrestla, etc. can help with this one as well). Whatever the delivery method, the fact is that the few that have tried this for a while (albeit a very small sample size so far) has noticed the same effect of the "wood that doesn’t wanna die".
As far as increased erectile quality, I don’t think it’s just the prolactin inhibiting effects of the oil that’s wholly responsible. Inhibiting prolactin, in my understanding, should only effect overall erectile quality in individuals that have high levels of prolactin to being with. Keeping it longer and making it harder to subside at will, yeah, but overall erection quality to begin with, I think, has more to do with the overall increased blood flow the entire blend of vasodilators brings to the party.
