A new product has just been released that claims to provide a non-prescription solution for female arousal issues.

It is called Zestra and is now available widely, over the counter.

On their website, they make the following claims…

Clinical studies show Zestra® increases arousal and pleasure, improving the satisfaction of both women and their partners.

Zestra®, the only women’s intimacy product clinically shown to quickly increase female sexual sensation, arousal and pleasure, is the topically applied, non-prescription solution that significantly enhances sexual satisfaction of women and their partners. Recommended by numerous books on women’s sexual health, Zestra is the leading women’s intimacy product in the United States and is sold at 40,000 retailers.

Applied during foreplay, Zestra is the long-awaited breakthrough for the 43 percent women that have problems with desire, arousal and enjoying satisfying sexual experiences. Leading women’s health professionals recommend Zestra because it’s the only clinically studied product available that effectively addresses female sexual problems. Zestra’s patented formula is the result of seven years of research and clinical testing.

Specifically designed for the sensitive needs of women, Zestra is hormone-free and does not contain potentially harmful synthetic chemicals or parabens. Parabens, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency views as disrupters of the body’s endocrine system, have been linked to breast cancer, lowered sperm counts and allergic reactions. Zestra is an all-natural formulation of two botanical oils and two extracts, protected by United States and European patents.

Zestra in particular helps women who are suffering sexual side effects resulting from menopause, depression, the use of SSRI anti-depressants, a hysterectomy, hormonal changes, diabetes, and aging.

Below is a news report I found about Zestra.

Please let us know if you try it. We would love to know your results.

Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals has released a female hormone patch, Intrinsa, that shows real promise in increasing female libido.

Currently, it is only available in Europe. But, you can order it online at several sites (you’ll have to do the homework.)

P&G’s site for this new medication is here.

Below is a news story for the UK that discusses this new medication…

If you are a woman that does NOT need this type of hormonal therapy (most) to significantly improve her sexual pleasure and response, you may want to start with Susan’s book, “Sexual Satisfaction For The Christian Wife.”

If you are looking for “natural” sexual enhancers, you still need to be sure that you are careful about their ingredients and possible negative effects.

Below is a video that discusses several popular “sex supplements” and their potential risks.

As you may remember from our books “Sexual Skills For Christian Husbands” and “Sexual Satisfaction For The Christian Wife,” I have personally used and recommend a product called Veromax. If you are looking for a non-prescription solution, you might want to look into the Veromax products for both men and women.

Many times, overcoming a woman’s inability to orgasm is much simpler than you may think.

You will find a comprehensive game plan for achieving your female orgasmic potential in Sexual Satisfaction For The Christian Wife.

The broad overview of what is necessary is…

1) Change your expectations. Believe that you have the ability to become multi-orgasmic.

2) Take an ACTIVE role in your sexual interactions; participate and coordinate your sexual interactions to maximize your pleasure and ability to achieve orgasm.

3) Focus on your clitoris. Most women need direct clitoral stimulation to achieve orgasm.

4) Strengthen your pelvic area with exercises such as “kegels.”

The video below discusses some of the common methods to move towards achieving orgasm. It also specifically mentions some valuable “exercise” devices that will help you with the most critical factor necessary to being orgasmic; a strong pelvic area…

This video will also be available in the Christian Sex Videos section.

Below is a sexual education video by Dr. June Machover Reinisch, PhD..

You will also be able to find it on our Christian Sex Videos page that we are currently building. Be sure to check it, periodically for new updates.

This video deals with the “myth” that “normal” women “should” always orgasm through intercourse.

If you have read either Sexual Skills For The Christian Husband and Sexual Satisfaction For The Christian Wife, you know that we address this “myth” directly.

Highlights…

-The myth that that women have two completely distinct types of orgasms (vaginal or clitoral) and that one is “better” than another (clitoral is an “immature” type) was started by our favorite fraud, Freud.

-This myth has NO basis in scientific fact.

-50-70% of women cannot achieve orgasm through penile thrusting alone; they need some type of direct or indirect clitoral stimulation.

-If you want to increase your chances of achieving female orgasm through intercourse, you must ACTIVELY utilize positions or movements that directly or indirectly stimulate the woman’s clitoris.

-Communicating what is pleasurable and what is not is critical to sexual satisfaction.

As we have discussed before, the available “Christian sex” or “Christian sex advice” resource pool is fairly small. So, not every resource that we recommend as valuable will be 100% consistent with our (or your) Christian values.

If we have posted the video on these pages, we simply endorse the “technical” value of the information contained within the video. Feel free to take the other information contained “with a grain of salt.”
