Now if we have to watch our budget my hubby has to stay away from grocery stores. He buys everything on the list and a lot of other neat stuff. Even if we are there together when we get home I find many foods that got past me. Now he is an excellent cook so the items are never wasted, but I always have to be careful I don't have to rob Peter to pay Paul. He also likes to try new recipes with different foods that we never bought before and lately these foods seem to aways cost more. I take longer because, I too read, the labels. But have found him doing so a couple of times lately. He quickly put the item down so I pretended I didn't see anything The games we play He always says he hates to shop but he seems to enjoy buying the food, esp when I can stand in line to the buy the goods while he goes out and sits in the car.

Who would have thought we'd be getting a lesson on Yohimbe!?! Anyway... I went back online and did a bit more research! We are both right, Mulder, when I stated it was a Prescription.... and you stated it was a Supplement! It all depends on the bark! Ruff! However..... Read again regarding it being 'perfectly safe'! That's where we are divided!

The information I found discussed the following: (Yohimbine - Wikipedia)

Aphrodisiac
The NIH states that Yohimbine hydrochloride is the standardized form of yohimbine that is available as a prescription medicine in the United States, and has been shown in human studies to be effective in the treatment of male impotence.
Yohimbine chloride—a standardized form of yohimbine—is a prescription medicine that has been used to treat erectile dysfunction. Controlled studies suggest that it is not always an effective treatment for impotence, and evidence of increased sex drive (libido) is anecdotal only.
Yohimbine is the principal alkaloid of the bark of the West-African evergreen Pausinystalia yohimbe Pierre (formerly Corynanthe yohimbe), family Rubiaceae (Madder family). There are 31 other yohimbane alkaloids found in Yohimbe. In Africa, yohimbine has traditionally been used as an aphrodisiac. However it is very important to note that while the terms yohimbine, yohimbine hydrochloride, and yohimbe bark extract are related, they are not interchangeable.
The active chemical present in yohimbe bark is Yohimbine HCl (indole alkaloid) found in the bark of the Pausinystalia yohimbe tree.
However, the levels of yohimbine that are present in yohimbe bark extract are variable and often very low. Therefore, although yohimbe bark has been used traditionally to reduce male erectile dysfunction, there is not enough scientific evidence to form a definitive conclusion in this area.


Then reading further I found this: (Yohimbe: Herbs at a Glance)

Introduction
This fact sheet provides basic information about the herb yohimbe--common names, uses, potential side effects, and resources for more information. The yohimbe tree is a tall evergreen that is native to western Africa. The bark of the tree contains a chemical called yohimbine. The amount of yohimbine in dietary supplements may vary; some yohimbe products have been found to contain very little yohimbine. However, a standardized form of yohimbine--yohimbine hydrochloride--is available as a prescription medicine that has been studied and used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Common Names--yohimbe, yohimbe bark

Latin Names--Pausinystalia yohimbe

What It Is Used For
·Yohimbe bark has traditionally been used in Africa as an aphrodisiac (to increase sexual desire).
·The herb is currently used for sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction in men.

How It Is Used
·As a dietary supplement, the dried bark of the yohimbe tree is used as a tea and taken by mouth. An extract of the bark is also put into capsules and tablets.

What the Science Says
·It is not known whether yohimbe is effective for any health conditions because clinical trials have not been conducted on the bark or its extract.
*Although numerous studies of the prescription medicine yohimbine hydrochloride have been conducted, their results cannot be interpreted as evidence for the dietary supplement yohimbe.

NOTE THIS PART MULDER:

Side Effects and Cautions
·Yohimbe has been associated with high blood pressure, increased heart rate, headache, anxiety, dizziness, and sleeplessness. Yohimbe can be dangerous if taken in large doses or for long periods of time.
·People should use caution if taking yohimbe with MAO inhibitors or medicines for high blood pressure. Yohimbe should not be combined with tricyclic antidepressants or phenothiazines (a group of medicines used mostly for mental health conditions such as schizophrenia).
·People with kidney problems and people with psychiatric conditions should not use yohimbe.

Whew! Now this was just a couple of sites with information on the subject! As we all know, not everyone will have adverse side effects! However..... since there is that possibility.... each person should really decide for themselves the risks and once educated.... do it or don't!

Ummmmm....... Not sure why you would think I'd love that it was for women too!

I have no need for such a product! I use a product that is 100% supplement and drug free to enhance my mood! I don't worry about ED or impotence or side effects either! I have access to this product 24/7! Depending on my mood at the time... it takes from 0 to 5 seconds to work its magic! Want to know what it is?

IT'S MY IMAGINATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes.... That's right! Mind over Matter! Did you know that all... ummm... how do I put this delicately.... Let's just say success in the boudoir.... Is in the mind! Yep! It's true!

Now..... If I should ever lack an imagination in the future.... I still wouldn't use this product!

Since I'm the cook in my relationships, I'm the one who does the grocery shopping.

[LuckyStrike]

Women are better grocery shoppers, men are better grocery buyers. I don't go to the grocery store to shop, I go to buy. I buy the brands that I know I like. There is no sense in wasting time trying to save pennies on an item and then throwing most of it away. Food is one of the simple pleasures in life so I won't settle for something I don't enjoy to save a couple of bucks. Get in and get out and avoid giving the check-out person any reason to waste time socializing.

On the other hand, take me to a farm store, or Gander Mountain, or Cabelas, or an implement dealer, or a gun shop, or Menards and I can spend hours. These are not just stores to me, they are museums.

It makes me happy to help people like that

Also, I'm tall so I do reaching for people who are petite or handicapped, regardless of age.

Men can shop as well as women, some just need experience.

You've hit on one of the fundamental differences between the sexes -- women "shop"; men buy things.

I've been doing the groceries for 20+ years. On the extremely rare occasions my better half tags along, we (as in I) spend far more & come home with a whole bunch of crap that wasn't on the list to begin with.

EDIT: voted "Other", since it depends on the man/woman.

WOW....you can really explain things I was just kidding when I posted that......I always used to tease your sister about her and Mulder and stuff like that........I kinda slipped up and started doing the same to you......sorry

**I know what you mean though........those suppliments are probably just for tired old men who may have lost their imagination

Maybe she needs to get out more.

Yes, most of the men I know want to get of the store as soon as possible.

Exceptions: Auto, building, etc.

LOL!!!! I believe in making sure I obtain a certain word count each and every day by expressing my thoughts* as often as I can whether I say them out loud talking to people or on line or even just in my head (such as when I am telling a co-worker off, or someone that I think is being stupid/obstinate/annoying/etc.!).... otherwise I do feel that my head will explode with all this stuff bouncing around in there at times!!! You may think I am kidding.... I shall never tell!!!

You do know that women have a higher word count per day than men, don't you? That of course should be covered in another thread! When it is.... you can be sure I will have an opinion on that as to why! Probably should be a CD thread now that I think of it!

As far as teasing Marlene about Mulder.... and doing that with me..... I really haven't noticed! Please... continue as you were! This could be fun!!!!!

Finally... (of course only in this post.... I plan on blabbing where I can!) regarding the supplements comment..... I think you hit it on the head! Now mind you.... Mulder may be along shortly and read our comments! He did admit to purchasing said product... So... how he gets himself out of that one... Well... that should be interesting indeed! Although.... he may just slink away in silence wishing he had never boasted of such endeavors! (And he better not say he bought them for the ladies.... I'm not buying that!)




*If only I could focus on the book I've been writing and attempt the feat of words there! It would probably write itself! *shrugs*
