What is Tantra?
One translation of the word Tantra is "tools for expansion."
Tantra is over 1500 years old, and like yoga it originated in India.
It is a set of teachings and practices that are specifically designed
to help us feel more, to increase our awareness of our own energy and
the energy around us. The path that Tantra uses to these ends is the
exploration of sexual energy.
The goal of Tantric sex is to allow us to experience more depth and
breadth in our sexuality. The goal is not necessarily orgasm, but rather
enriching the whole sexual experience.
What is L-Arginine?
L-arginine is an essential amino acid that can be produced by
the human body from eating foods high in protein as well as
dairy products. When you increase the body's normal production
of L-arginine a few things change in the equation. A higher
dosage of L-arginine in the human body has absolutely amazing
benefits such as increasing nitric oxide and stimulating the
natural release of growth hormone. For many people who do not
maintain a healthy lifestyle or proper diet,a proper dietary
supplement with L-arginine such as the one of other vitamins can
reduce healing time of injuries, reduce the risk of heart disease,
reduce adipose body fat tissue, helps improve insulin sensitivity
and prevent erectile dysfunction.
L-arginine can be an effective natural alternative to Viagra. Like
the drug sildenafil citrate (Viagra), L-arginine enhances the power
of nitric oxide, which relaxes muscle tissue surrounding the vessels
supplying blood to the penis. The blood vessels in the penis dilate
and blood flow is increased, which helps create and maintain an
erection. The difference between the two is that Viagra blocks an
enzyme called PDE5 which breaks down nitric oxide and L-arginine is
used to create nitric oxide. Nitric oxide (NO) is the newest and
most effective means of increasing sexual performance in both normal
males, and in males whose libidos are compromised. Erections are the
result of an increase in blood supply to the penis. NO allows for
the vasodialation required for an erection to occur..
Nitric Oxide is a free form gas that is produced in the body and
is used by the body to communicate with other cells in the body.
To produce this gas, enzymes in the body break down the amino acid
Arginine. The production of Nitric Oxide occurs when the amino
acid L-arginine is converted into L-citruline through an enzyme group
known as Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS).
