Does anyone else have this problem? If I drink coffee, or especially when I take Yohimbene/Caffiene before cardio, I get some serious shrinkage for a few hours. I don't feel manly...

I thought Yohimbene was supposed to increase bloodflow to the penis. Isn't that what some people use it for?
Yohimbine
Yohimbine HCL is an alkaloid found in the bark of the African Yohimbe plant (Pausinystalia yohimbe) and also in the South American Quebracho tree (Cortex quebracho). Among its many physiological effects, it is a fairly potent alpha-2 andregenic receptor agonist. What this means for erections is that it inhibits a neural feedback mechanism that controls the amount of nitric oxide released in response to sexual stimulation.1, 2 More nitric oxide means more cGMP and, theoretically, a harder erection. Yohimbe bark has a long folk history in Africa as an aphrodisiac and yohimbine HCL was one of the only oral drugs available for erectile dysfunction before the introduction of sildenafil.
Despite its long folk reputation as a potency enhancer, in clinical use, yohimbine had a success rate for treating ED of less than 50%. Perhaps the biggest problem with using yohimbine as a sexual enhancer is its side-effect profile, which can include anxiety, nausea, insomnia, heart palpitations and an inability to urinate. Some people are highly sensitive to yohimbine and will feel some or all of these effects at almost any dose. If you want to try it, and have never used it before, a dose of 5mg of yohimbine HCL is probably a good place to start. Be aware that many products contain Yohimbe Bark extract that may or may not be standardized for yohimbine alkaloid content. Even when using a standardized extract, there are other alkaloids in Yohimbe bark that may be physiologically active. Using a product that only contains only yohimbine HCL reduces (but doesn’t eliminate) the possibility of unwanted side effects.3

Quality post. I am suprised you only have 10 reps. IOU...
lol, you not only beat me to it, but we both wrote nearly the EXACT SAME thing verbatim... lol
Benson said:Straightforward sympathomimetic effect...mimics the activation of the fight or flight reflex which sends out the signal to retract the landing gear so it doesn't get damaged while you are running away from the saber-tooth tiger through the puckerbrush...and the vasoconstriction doesn't help either. Pseudoephedrine can have the same effect in some guys and I suspect AMP or any similar substance could as well.
Ironically, ephedrine is pro-sexual in women...
I only beat you by a minute (me = speedy)
Weird...I say the same thing to my wife. She doesn't seem to appreciate it much.
/pissed off when I try to high-five her.
I get like that with to much caffein sometimes. After 1 or 2 energy drinks a cup or 2 off coffee i am feeling weak down stairs. I make sure i limit caffein now....especially on weekends....:twisted:
The worst for me is when I take 200mg Caffiene and 5mg Yohimbene on an empty stomach before cardio, and then have probably another 400mg of Caffiene in my coffee with breakfast after my cardio. WOW, I feel like a little baby. I usually take a hot shower to get the bloodflow going down there.
