I agree with still on this one. In order for things to work topically they cannot rely on digestion as viagra does.
Im finding out Liquid stabilized oxygen is some pretty cool stuff. Burned my thumb yesterday cooking, instantly remembered there was a reason I hated cooking. I decided to put some of this liquid O2 on there, the pain instantly went away, there was no swelling after that and the red disappeared.
Almost totally got rid of my girlfriends migraine the other day, within about 30 minutes after applying it. Pretty cool in my book.
I havent yet tried to add this to my lube when I jelq, that will be next on my list.

I have been having incredible jelqing sessions using this mixture. I ordered some of the Liquid Oxygen to add to the mixture and I can't wait to try that. I have also been heating the gel up before each application with a hair dryer, this seems to help absorption. I got my first black and blue bruise (size of a quarter) in months the other day, I was kind of freaked out at first but I chalked it up to the extreme intensity of the wet jelq.

This seems to be applicable to this discussion...note that the ingredients (except the lotion), in the quantities mentioned...cost less than $1.00 to make up 8-12 oz. at a time.
I believe that this is presently marketed as a product named "Maxoderm."

Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. .sctn. 119(e) to U.S. Provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/445,624, which is incorporated herein in its entirety by this reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The invention relates to a topically-administered compositions for the enhancement of sexual responsiveness in mammals.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The male sexual response includes the filling of vascular channels that are empty in the flaccid penis, with blood at pressures approaching systemic levels. Erection occurs when the arteriolar and sinusoidal smooth muscles of the vessels within the corpora relax, thus lowering resistance in these channels and allowing arterial blood to surge into the penis. Exit of the arterial blood is simultaneously impeded by an increase in venous resistance. Further distention of the sinusoids is restrained by the minimally distensible tunica albuginea that raises the pressure further and also restricts venous outflow. Thus, the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum can be filled with blood and the penis can be erect with little demand on cardiac output. These vascular changes that occur during erection are thought to be controlled by vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, perhaps aided by alpha-adrenergic blockade, acetylcholine and nitric oxide.
[0004] The female sexual response cycle is typically divided into four phases including desire, excitement, which includes physiological changes such as vasocongestion in the pelvis, vaginal lubrication, and expansion and swelling of the external genitalia, orgasm, and resolution. Disorders of female sexual desire or response are estimated to affect from 30 to 50 percent of the adult female population. These disorders may have a variety of causes including psychogenic etiologies, anatomical disorders, drug-induced disorders, diabetes mellitus, post-surgical disorders, atherosclerosis, post-traumatic disorders, as well as endocrine etiologies. Depending upon the etiology of the disorder, effective treatment may be had by overcoming any boundaries to the physiological changes that take place during excitement including vasocongestion. Thus, in certain cases, it may be possible to enhance the female sexual response by stimulating vasocongestion.
[0005] There are a wide variety of pharmacological agents used for the enhancement of erection and treatment of sexual dysfunction and as pro-libido agents. Some examples include: serotonin receptor agonists and antagonists (see, e.g., EP 385,658; WO 94/15,920; GB 2,248,449; and GB 2,276,165), dopamine receptor agonists (see, e.g., WO 93/23,035; WO 94/21,608; Pomerantz S. M., Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav. 39:123-128, 1991; and Ferrari F. et al. Psychopharmacology 113:172-176, 1993); adrenergic receptor agonists (see, e.g., WO 95/13,072; EP 611,248; U.S. Pat. No. 5,229,387; and WO 92/11,851); inhibitors of phoshodiesterase (see, e.g., DE 4,338,948; and WO 94/28,902); histamine receptor agonists (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,013,659; 4,126,670; 4,767,778; WO 91/17,146; U.S. Pat. No. 5,047,418; and EP 0,458,661); neuropeptide Y antagonists (see, e.g., WO 95/00,161); angiotensin II receptor antagonists (see, e.g., EP 577,025); cholinesterase inhibitors (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,177,070; and 4,633,318); combinations of agents with the different types of biological activity (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,145,852; and WO 95/05,188); derivatives of vasoactive intestinal peptide (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,147,855; EP 540,969; and EP 463,450); prostaglandins (see, e.g., WO 93/00,894; and EP 459,3770); antidepressants and antipsychotics (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,931,445; GB 2,448,449; and Naganuma et al. Clin. Exp. Pharm. Physiol. 20:177-183, 1993); nitric oxide donors (see, e.g., WO 92/21,346; DE 4,305,881; DE 4,212,582; and WO 94/16,729); calcitonin gene related peptide (see, e.g., Steif, C.G. et al., Urology, 41:397-400, 1993); and androgens (see, e.g., JP 06,211,675; HU 62,473; and WO 94/16,709). Unfortunately, many or all of these pharmacological agents are associated with adverse effects including aggravation or induction of schizophrenia, serotonin syndrome, central nervous system and endocrine system dysfunction, pain, echytomosis and priapism.
[0006] Accordingly there is a need in the art to identify new pharmacological agents or compositions which are useful for enhancement of the sexual response in mammals.

[0013] As used herein, the transitional phrases "comprising", "consisting essentially of" and "consisting of" define the scope of the appended claims with respect to what un-recited additional components, if any, are excluded from the scope of the claim. The term "comprising" is intended to be inclusive or open-ended and does not exclude additional, un-recited elements or method steps. The phrase "consisting of" excludes any element, step, or ingredient not specified in the claim. The phrase "consisting essentially of" limits the scope of a claim to the specified materials or steps and those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the claimed invention. All compositions or formulations identified herein can, in alternate embodiments, be more specifically defined by any of the transitional phrases "comprising", "consisting essentially of" and "consisting of."
[0014] The two most important denominators to the erection process and penis size are blood flow and vessel size. The compositions of the present invention are formulated with a combination of active ingredients that enhance blood flow to the area applied thereby resulting in erection or vasocongestion. The active ingredients in these compositions aid the body in the production of nitric oxide via the essential amino acid L-arginine. Additionally, these compositions function as powerful vasodilators using yohimbe, and methyl nicotinate to increase circulation, discourage clot formation, and reinforce the walls of the capillaries allowing for bigger, thicker blood vessels. These physiological actions are believed to be useful for the treatment of sexual dysfunction resulting from circulatory disorders. Additionally, these physiological actions are believed to strengthen blood vessel walls of the penis resulting in erectile enhancement. Further, herbal ingredients in these compositions can act to promote and enhance desire functioning as pro-libido agents.
[0015] The compositions of the present invention contain one or more of the following active ingredients: methyl nicotinate, yohimbe extract, panax ginseng, L-arginine, muira puama, catuaba bark, maca, and saw palmetto.
[0016] Methyl nicotinate is rubefacient and counterirritant for the relief of aches and pains in muscles, tendons, and joints. When applied to the skin, methyl nicotinate causes vasodilation of the surrounding blood vessels producing a feeling of warmth. This sensation competes with, and to some extent blocks, pain in underlying muscles and joints, since both feelings are conveyed by the same nerves. The compositions of the present invention may contain between about 0.1% and about 5% methyl nicotinate. Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain between about 0.5% and about 2% methyl nicotinate. Most preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain about 1% methyl nicotinate. Suitable sources of methyl nicotinate for use in compositions of the present invention are available commercially. For example, methyl nicotinate is available commercially from Araer Chemicals.
[0017] Yohimbe is a vasodilator used as a sensual stimulant for healthy men and women and to treat organic impotence. Yohimbe is thought to stimulate the pelvic nerve ganglia and is thus useful for the treatment of erection problems. Effects may include increased libido, increased sensation and increased stamina. The compositions of the present invention may include yohimbe extract prepared by extracting the yohimbe for one ounce of a plant material containing the herb into two ounces of a suitable liquid. Typically the extraction liquid is water or an alcohol. Prepared in this manner, compositions of the present invention may contain between about 5 drops and about 50 drops of the yohimbe extract in 120 cm.sup.3 of the topical composition of the present invention. Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain between about 15 drops and about 35 drops of the yohimbe extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Most preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain about 25 drops of the yohimbe extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Herbal extracts containing yohimbe that are suitable for use in formulating compositions of the present invention are available commercially. For example, an herbal blend containing yohimbe that is suitable for use in compositions of the present invention is commercially available from Nature's Alternative.
[0018] Panax ginseng is an herb thought to be an immune stimulant. Ginseng has a high content of the Rg1 group of ginsenosides which cause an increase in motor activity. It acts on the adrenal and pituitary glands and is thought to improve response to stress, increase mental and physical work capacity, increase concentration and mental activity, enhance mental acuity and intellectual and physical performance and benefit the immune system. The compositions of the present invention may include ginseng extract prepared by extracting ginseng from one ounce of a plant material containing the herb into two ounces of a suitable liquid. Typically the extraction liquid is water or an alcohol. Prepared in this manner, compositions of the present invention may contain between about 1 drop and about 30 drops of ginseng extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain between about 5 drops and about 20 drops of ginseng extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Most preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain about 12 drops of ginseng extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Herbal extracts containing ginseng that are suitable for use in formulating compositions of the present invention are available commercially. For example, an herbal blend containing ginseng that is suitable for use in compositions of the present invention is commercially available from Nature's Alternative.
[0019] L-arginine is an essential amino acid with vasodilatory properties. L-arginine is the primary nutrient that allows the body to create nitric oxide, which helps regulate every physiologic function in the body. L-arginine has been shown to reduce blood pressure, improve heart function, circulation, lower cholesterol, improve immune system response, wound healing, open airways in astHydromaxa and help with male sexual function. When arginine is introduced into the body, it interacts with the enzyme nitric oxide synthase which replaces a nitrogen molecule on arginine with an oxygen atom forming nitric oxide. The compositions of the present invention may contain between about 100 mg and about 400 mg of L-arginine per ounce of the topical composition. Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain between about 200 mg and about 300 mg of L-arginine per ounce of the topical composition. Most preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain about 240 mg of L-arginine per ounce of the topical composition. L-arginine suitable for use in formulating compositions of the present invention is available commercially. For example, a commercial source of L-arginine that is suitable for use in compositions of the present invention is commercially available from T. J. Clark.
[0020] Muira puama is a botanical isolated from a tree that grows in the rain forests of Brazil.

Most preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain about 12 drops of muira puama extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Herbal extracts of muira puama that are suitable for use in formulating compositions of the present invention are available commercially. A concentrated extract that is suitable for use in compositions of the present invention is commercially available from Raintree Nutrition.
[0021] Catuaba is a botanical extracted from the plant species Juniperis brasilinsis native to Brazil. It is reported to have benefits in relieving insomnia from hypertension, restless sleeping patterns and in helping to arrest failing memory. The compositions of the present invention may include catuaba extract prepared by extracting one ounce of catuaba bark into two ounces of a suitable liquid. Typically the extraction liquid is water or an alcohol. Prepared in this manner, compositions of the present invention may contain between about 1 drop and about 30 drops of catuaba extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain between about 5 drops and about 20 drops of catuaba extract in four ounces of the topical composition.

Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. .sctn. 119(e) to U.S. Provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/445,624, which is incorporated herein in its entirety by this reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The invention relates to a topically-administered compositions for the enhancement of sexual responsiveness in mammals.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The male sexual response includes the filling of vascular channels that are empty in the flaccid penis, with blood at pressures approaching systemic levels. Erection occurs when the arteriolar and sinusoidal smooth muscles of the vessels within the corpora relax, thus lowering resistance in these channels and allowing arterial blood to surge into the penis. Exit of the arterial blood is simultaneously impeded by an increase in venous resistance. Further distention of the sinusoids is restrained by the minimally distensible tunica albuginea that raises the pressure further and also restricts venous outflow. Thus, the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum can be filled with blood and the penis can be erect with little demand on cardiac output. These vascular changes that occur during erection are thought to be controlled by vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, perhaps aided by alpha-adrenergic blockade, acetylcholine and nitric oxide.
[0004] The female sexual response cycle is typically divided into four phases including desire, excitement, which includes physiological changes such as vasocongestion in the pelvis, vaginal lubrication, and expansion and swelling of the external genitalia, orgasm, and resolution. Disorders of female sexual desire or response are estimated to affect from 30 to 50 percent of the adult female population. These disorders may have a variety of causes including psychogenic etiologies, anatomical disorders, drug-induced disorders, diabetes mellitus, post-surgical disorders, atherosclerosis, post-traumatic disorders, as well as endocrine etiologies. Depending upon the etiology of the disorder, effective treatment may be had by overcoming any boundaries to the physiological changes that take place during excitement including vasocongestion. Thus, in certain cases, it may be possible to enhance the female sexual response by stimulating vasocongestion.
[0005] There are a wide variety of pharmacological agents used for the enhancement of erection and treatment of sexual dysfunction and as pro-libido agents. Some examples include: serotonin receptor agonists and antagonists (see, e.g., EP 385,658; WO 94/15,920; GB 2,248,449; and GB 2,276,165), dopamine receptor agonists (see, e.g., WO 93/23,035; WO 94/21,608; Pomerantz S. M., Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav. 39:123-128, 1991; and Ferrari F. et al. Psychopharmacology 113:172-176, 1993); adrenergic receptor agonists (see, e.g., WO 95/13,072; EP 611,248; U.S. Pat. No. 5,229,387; and WO 92/11,851); inhibitors of phoshodiesterase (see, e.g., DE 4,338,948; and WO 94/28,902); histamine receptor agonists (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,013,659; 4,126,670; 4,767,778; WO 91/17,146; U.S. Pat. No. 5,047,418; and EP 0,458,661); neuropeptide Y antagonists (see, e.g., WO 95/00,161); angiotensin II receptor antagonists (see, e.g., EP 577,025); cholinesterase inhibitors (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,177,070; and 4,633,318); combinations of agents with the different types of biological activity (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,145,852; and WO 95/05,188); derivatives of vasoactive intestinal peptide (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,147,855; EP 540,969; and EP 463,450); prostaglandins (see, e.g., WO 93/00,894; and EP 459,3770); antidepressants and antipsychotics (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,931,445; GB 2,448,449; and Naganuma et al. Clin. Exp. Pharm. Physiol. 20:177-183, 1993); nitric oxide donors (see, e.g., WO 92/21,346; DE 4,305,881; DE 4,212,582; and WO 94/16,729); calcitonin gene related peptide (see, e.g., Steif, C.G. et al., Urology, 41:397-400, 1993); and androgens (see, e.g., JP 06,211,675; HU 62,473; and WO 94/16,709). Unfortunately, many or all of these pharmacological agents are associated with adverse effects including aggravation or induction of schizophrenia, serotonin syndrome, central nervous system and endocrine system dysfunction, pain, echytomosis and priapism.
[0006] Accordingly there is a need in the art to identify new pharmacological agents or compositions which are useful for enhancement of the sexual response in mammals.

[0013] As used herein, the transitional phrases "comprising", "consisting essentially of" and "consisting of" define the scope of the appended claims with respect to what un-recited additional components, if any, are excluded from the scope of the claim. The term "comprising" is intended to be inclusive or open-ended and does not exclude additional, un-recited elements or method steps. The phrase "consisting of" excludes any element, step, or ingredient not specified in the claim. The phrase "consisting essentially of" limits the scope of a claim to the specified materials or steps and those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the claimed invention. All compositions or formulations identified herein can, in alternate embodiments, be more specifically defined by any of the transitional phrases "comprising", "consisting essentially of" and "consisting of."
[0014] The two most important denominators to the erection process and penis size are blood flow and vessel size. The compositions of the present invention are formulated with a combination of active ingredients that enhance blood flow to the area applied thereby resulting in erection or vasocongestion. The active ingredients in these compositions aid the body in the production of nitric oxide via the essential amino acid L-arginine. Additionally, these compositions function as powerful vasodilators using yohimbe, and methyl nicotinate to increase circulation, discourage clot formation, and reinforce the walls of the capillaries allowing for bigger, thicker blood vessels. These physiological actions are believed to be useful for the treatment of sexual dysfunction resulting from circulatory disorders. Additionally, these physiological actions are believed to strengthen blood vessel walls of the penis resulting in erectile enhancement. Further, herbal ingredients in these compositions can act to promote and enhance desire functioning as pro-libido agents.
[0015] The compositions of the present invention contain one or more of the following active ingredients: methyl nicotinate, yohimbe extract, panax ginseng, L-arginine, muira puama, catuaba bark, maca, and saw palmetto.
[0016] Methyl nicotinate is rubefacient and counterirritant for the relief of aches and pains in muscles, tendons, and joints. When applied to the skin, methyl nicotinate causes vasodilation of the surrounding blood vessels producing a feeling of warmth. This sensation competes with, and to some extent blocks, pain in underlying muscles and joints, since both feelings are conveyed by the same nerves. The compositions of the present invention may contain between about 0.1% and about 5% methyl nicotinate. Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain between about 0.5% and about 2% methyl nicotinate. Most preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain about 1% methyl nicotinate. Suitable sources of methyl nicotinate for use in compositions of the present invention are available commercially. For example, methyl nicotinate is available commercially from Araer Chemicals.
[0017] Yohimbe is a vasodilator used as a sensual stimulant for healthy men and women and to treat organic impotence. Yohimbe is thought to stimulate the pelvic nerve ganglia and is thus useful for the treatment of erection problems. Effects may include increased libido, increased sensation and increased stamina. The compositions of the present invention may include yohimbe extract prepared by extracting the yohimbe for one ounce of a plant material containing the herb into two ounces of a suitable liquid. Typically the extraction liquid is water or an alcohol. Prepared in this manner, compositions of the present invention may contain between about 5 drops and about 50 drops of the yohimbe extract in 120 cm.sup.3 of the topical composition of the present invention. Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain between about 15 drops and about 35 drops of the yohimbe extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Most preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain about 25 drops of the yohimbe extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Herbal extracts containing yohimbe that are suitable for use in formulating compositions of the present invention are available commercially. For example, an herbal blend containing yohimbe that is suitable for use in compositions of the present invention is commercially available from Nature's Alternative.
[0018] Panax ginseng is an herb thought to be an immune stimulant. Ginseng has a high content of the Rg1 group of ginsenosides which cause an increase in motor activity. It acts on the adrenal and pituitary glands and is thought to improve response to stress, increase mental and physical work capacity, increase concentration and mental activity, enhance mental acuity and intellectual and physical performance and benefit the immune system. The compositions of the present invention may include ginseng extract prepared by extracting ginseng from one ounce of a plant material containing the herb into two ounces of a suitable liquid. Typically the extraction liquid is water or an alcohol. Prepared in this manner, compositions of the present invention may contain between about 1 drop and about 30 drops of ginseng extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain between about 5 drops and about 20 drops of ginseng extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Most preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain about 12 drops of ginseng extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Herbal extracts containing ginseng that are suitable for use in formulating compositions of the present invention are available commercially. For example, an herbal blend containing ginseng that is suitable for use in compositions of the present invention is commercially available from Nature's Alternative.
[0019] L-arginine is an essential amino acid with vasodilatory properties. L-arginine is the primary nutrient that allows the body to create nitric oxide, which helps regulate every physiologic function in the body. L-arginine has been shown to reduce blood pressure, improve heart function, circulation, lower cholesterol, improve immune system response, wound healing, open airways in astHydromaxa and help with male sexual function. When arginine is introduced into the body, it interacts with the enzyme nitric oxide synthase which replaces a nitrogen molecule on arginine with an oxygen atom forming nitric oxide. The compositions of the present invention may contain between about 100 mg and about 400 mg of L-arginine per ounce of the topical composition. Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain between about 200 mg and about 300 mg of L-arginine per ounce of the topical composition. Most preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain about 240 mg of L-arginine per ounce of the topical composition. L-arginine suitable for use in formulating compositions of the present invention is available commercially. For example, a commercial source of L-arginine that is suitable for use in compositions of the present invention is commercially available from T. J. Clark.
[0020] Muira puama is a botanical isolated from a tree that grows in the rain forests of Brazil.

Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain between about 5 drops and about 20 drops of muira puama extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Most preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain about 12 drops of muira puama extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Herbal extracts of muira puama that are suitable for use in formulating compositions of the present invention are available commercially. A concentrated extract that is suitable for use in compositions of the present invention is commercially available from Raintree Nutrition.
[0021] Catuaba is a botanical extracted from the plant species Juniperis brasilinsis native to Brazil. It is reported to have benefits in relieving insomnia from hypertension, restless sleeping patterns and in helping to arrest failing memory. The compositions of the present invention may include catuaba extract prepared by extracting one ounce of catuaba bark into two ounces of a suitable liquid. Typically the extraction liquid is water or an alcohol. Prepared in this manner, compositions of the present invention may contain between about 1 drop and about 30 drops of catuaba extract in four ounces of the topical composition. Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain between about 5 drops and about 20 drops of catuaba extract in four ounces of the topical composition.

I have a skin condition called psoriasis and as a result my skin has always been very sensitive. On the down side of this, if I use the wrong kind of lube or moisturizer for my skin it gets very painful and itchy. On the up side this allows me to home in on what really are the best lubes/moisturizers for the skin.
When I began Penis Enlargement I spent a year experimenting with different lubes (oils, gels and creams) because my skin would always become irritated during my Penis Enlargement process. My doctors prescribed me a very intensive emollient for my psoriasis. I eventually had the idea of trying that for my jelqing and other girth work. Since using it my skin has been in much better shape and feels normal after a session. It is an incredible moisturizer and over time, with regular application, it improves the condition of your skin.
It's called Paraffin 50%. or Paraffin 50/50. It is made up of 50% liquid Paraffin and 50% white soft Paraffin. Generally the thicker the solution the better.
I thought that this might make a good base for your lube.
Either way I think the idea of creating a perfect lube is a good one and hope that it turns out well.

Either way I think the idea of creating a perfect lube is a good one and hope that it turns out well.

Olive oil is one of the few "natural substances" that actually does penetrate the skin, and moisturizes. It is used in the islands (puert-rico, barbados) for extreme dry skin. So is lard! Get fucking too hard and hot, dick starts smelling like fried steak! We have to remember, the skin is made to keep things out of our body. Now, there was an old balm, used like bengay, that might have contained aspirin. Pretty cheap stuff, barely warm, but thick. It might have been aspercreme? Well, think about it. ANother great lubricant is mineral oil. It can penetrate th skin mildly, and mildly. Mineral oil is used in surgery by plastic surgery when making skin grafts. That shows it's good stuff. We use parrafin as well in surgery.
