Question for the guys
Posted by: phantom ()
Date: February 23, 2009 04:18AM

So, I have a somewhat personal question to post on my boyfriend's behalf...

He has been about 80-90% raw for the past month or so, and has been going through lots of awesome changes (he was previously a SAD eater). He has more energy, has lost a lot of weight, and has more sensitivity everywhere in his body.......

Which brings me to my next question. "Mr. Happy" is a lot bigger and more sensitive now, too... and suddenly consistently premature, to the point of causing some emotional distress for him. (This was never an issue before!)

He wanted me to post here and ask if any of the other guys transitioning to a raw diet have experienced similar things, and how things eventually worked out.

I know this is personal for everyone involved, but any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. =)

The most noticeable change in that area I experienced after going all fresh raw (Aug 1, 07) was an increase in sexual vitality which has stayed with me ever since. smiling smiley

no similar experiences here..

Yep. I got more energy, but it also seemed that my sexual drive went down a bit and I lost some weight (which is not good), and that is why I don't eat 100% raw any longer.

I have read that losing weight will stop if you continue the diet longer.. so maybe I will try 100% raw again sometime. I was 100% raw for about 5 months. and lost 10% of my weight.

What ever you do please don't get too worried about it - I'm sure it will pass particularly as it wasn't a problem before.

wishing you well

No...no experiences like that.

He's been raw for only a short time...relatively speaking. Any 'sudden' change can trigger detox reactions and temporary problems with circulation. I would give it a little time. If the condition persists, please consult your health professional.

Every situation is different, but, in general,
men don't like to be told what to do by women (Male Ego,
you know). By stressing Raw.....you're stressing him. If the
'chemistry' is there, quit nagging him about being 100% Raw....WY

no experience. but the common sense of nature is once again the answer to this conundrum. he is probably eating a lot of NUTS and SEEDS which is what he is releasing to early. this is what many eat on the transition and in an excessive amount.

My boyfriend thanks you all for your insights.

Hi,

i just started raw (95%or more) on 1/1/09. I have noticed an increase in the desire but have had no problems whatsoever with what you experienced. I'm 53 yrs old & my wife in 99% SAD. we've been together 26yrs of which we're married 20yrs. While the raw life is GREAT I don't push it with her. We all need to have our own 'ah ha' moment when we change our eating habits. I'm very hopeful that when she sees my health & energy increase & my weight drop even more (I've already lost 20 of 40lbs) she'll jump on the wagon.

EVEN IF SHE DOESN'T I CAN'T IMAGINE IT AFFECTING OUR RELATIONSHIP. I COULD BE NAIVE BUT WE'VE BEEN THRU ALOT IN 26YRS.

My wang is no bigger than before that I've noticed (which is fine with me, I don't want it to be so large as to look ridiculous). No increased sensitivity, no change in staying power (though when I used to drink alcohol I could last for over an hour, wasn't very good for me though because I could barely feel anything).

According to my GF my cum tastes better when I'm mostly raw. Her punani pretty much always tastes good but she juices & eats really healthy. smiling smiley

This may be a little too honest. At least you're
not hiding behind a phony name like some of the posters here....WY

i'm guessing he's bigger because he has better blood flow.
most guys who take viagra feel bigger because of that.
hope he can relax don't do it...
no stress, it'll work itself out.

Well I did change my name (from Narz though I don't deny this) but only because I was banned (funnily enough for "being too honest"winking smiley.
