Pro's and Con's of Using Naltrexone to Treat Male Sexual Dysfunction (A Broad View on a Difficult Question)

Naltrexone may very well be, one of the most effective substances for male-sexual enhancement and dysfunctions; when used Properly.

Even though, this is not the intent nor medical application of the drug, under most circumstances, it has been studied in the context of both opiate-induced-impotence and in fairly large studies of Men with idiopathic Impotence (E.D with Unknown Aetiology) (1) (2).

Naltrexone also increases 'intensity of arousal' and orgasm frequency (3).

In Healthy, normal Men even, there is a reported in enhancement in sexual functioning (4) (5)

Additionally, it has anti-aging benefits and anti-stress benefits (6) (7).

A Couple Initial . Notes before we get into the deeper discussion...

• In any case, Naltrexone for sexual improvement should be used at a MINIMUM of 12.5 ((MG)) but PREFERABLY 25 - 50 mg ONCE / per day or 25mg TWICE/ day.
• It can not, should not be used with Modafanil or Yohimbine under any circumstances; and Caffeine intake should be low as possible until a further assessment of Tolerance/Sensitivity is committed to.
