Their confidence is boosted and this will improve their sexual performance...
At Ukmedix News we are continuing to hear reports that tigers are facing extinction in China. You may be wondering why this should be relevant to a news article related to erectile dysfunction but in fact it is extremely relevant. In China there is an illegal and illicit multimillion pound business dealing with the trade in tiger parts that are traditionally said to cure men of impotence.
Literally every single section of the tiger is considered to have some aphrodisiac quality in China and thus a tiger can be worth as much as £6,000 on the Chinese black market. Certain parts of the tiger, for example the penis, will fetch an extra premium as men who are suffering from erectile dysfunction will believe that it is the most effective section of the tiger to eat. Other parts of the tiger that are inedible, like the bones, are ground into a powder and made into a curative ointment.
What is so crazy about this whole industry is that the tiger does not possess any medically proven positive effects on sexual function and therefore the men who spend a lot of money buying tiger parts in order to improve their erectile function are in fact wasting their time.
Or are they….? In fact these treatments work only because of the psychological effect that they have on the men in question. Just because these men really believe that eating the tiger’s body part will have an effect on their sexual function their confidence is boosted and this in turn will in fact improve their sexual performance. A man who is confident about his sexual prowess will be more relaxed when he makes love and therefore will be more likely to sustain an erection for a longer time. The reverse also applies as men who are nervous and tense before a sexual experience may in fact not be able to get erect at all.
It was hoped that with the arrival of the erectile dysfunction medication Viagra that the trade in tiger parts would immediately dry up however it appears that some traditions are not to be displaced easily.
