Greater staying power and intensity

By facilitating blood flow to the erectile tissue of the penis, NO produced from L-arginine can give men erections that are bigger, harder, and more frequent. Some men also report that L-arginine gives them greater endurance. "It almost doubled my staying power," said one male enthusiast. Women also find it increases their "staying power." One highly athletic 30-something woman talked about the time she told her doctor about her L-arginine use. "My doctor almost fell off his chair when I told him how many times a night I do it-six times," she said. "He's definitely taking arginine now, too." Because it helps increase the flow of blood to the penis, arginine can enhance erections. "I definitely have stiffer erections and more erections," said one man. "After I quit taking arginine for a while, I noticed that my hard-ons were not as big or as hard or as frequent," he added. In women, L-arginine has been reported to increase the intensity of sensation during sex. "For me it's always been intense," said one long-time arginine fan, "but with arginine, it's even more intense."
