Personal experience of the daily use of 60-120 mg of Prozac (one of a large family of

pharmaceuticals known as the selective seratonin reuptake inhibitors) has show a

profound ability to suppress the male sexual drive WITHOUT influencing the secondary

sexual characteristics, without adverse affects on liver function, bone density,mental

acuity (memory,concentration,mood,sleep cycles,reading speed/comprehension).

These drugs have been successfully used to supress abnormal sexual drive in para-

philiacs (e.g. pedophiles, victims of hyper-sexualism, ets.)

Their function seems related to the fact that for sexual arousal to occur,it is necessary

for seratonin levels to be LOW. Since high levels of seratonin are generally necessary

for a general sense of well being (absence of depression/anxiety/mood swings),it is

suggestive that the low levels of seratonin exhibited in males experiencing romantic/

erotic love could explain why this state is experienced as being of mixed emotional

content, either very joyful or very distressing, in wild swings of emotion.

The Secondary sexual characteristics (muscle mass,body/facial hair,voice quality,male

aggressivness,ets) remain essentially intact,making these drugs a ideal solution for

male sexual problems of a pyschological nature. It is virtually impossible to overdose

on this class of drugs,and the large number of differernt drugs using different chemical

pathways make it easy to avoid building up a tolerance to their effects. One simply

need only switch between different subgroups to avoid this. More drugs,using new

chemical pathways are being constantly discovered (estimates of the currently avail-

able number in the range of 100 and is increasing annually).

What are Agonist and antagonist of muscarinic receptors?

Agonists of muscarinic receptors are substances that bind to the receptor and activate it, mimicking the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Examples include pilocarpine and muscarine. Antagonists, on the other hand, bind to the receptor without activating it, thus blocking the action of acetylcholine. Examples include atropine and scopolamine.

Agonist and antagonist of lateral dumbell raise?

The primary agonist muscle in a lateral dumbbell raise is the deltoid, specifically the lateral (side) head of the deltoid. The antagonist muscle is the latissimus dorsi, which performs the opposite movement by extending the shoulder while the deltoid is lifting the dumbbell.
