We've all seen them. The strange, often colourfully advertised pills that rest on gas station check stands. Sometimes mysteriously labeled as things that will help you "last all night" or "last longer," the sex pills are often pitched to young men looking to "up their game" and better their sexual performance. What is the truth behind these pills? Do they really work? Do they really do what they say they'll do? The answer to all of these questions is a resounding, probably not.

Gas station sex pills - it's a wonder that they're still around. These misleading little purchases are often picked up on a whim by curious individuals, but they're more of a waste of your money than anything else.

So what are they? In this article, we'll go over this, and more.

What are Gas Station Sex Pills?

Gas station sex pills are a collection of supplements and other substances, including herbs and sometimes actual drugs, meant for sexual enhancement. They're promoted to men who want to increase their sexual prowess, stamina, and performance.

What's in them? The exact contents of these pills vary, but there are some general categories of ingredients that are included. For instance, some of these pills may contain:

• Ginseng
• L-Arginine
• L-Arginine
• Epimedium (also known as Horny Goat Weed)
• Yohimbe
• Maca Root
• Caffeine
• Tribulus Terrestris
• Zinc
  

There are a variety of others, but the above are some of the more common ingredients.

The majority of these pills are caffeine, with some added herbs that likely don't do very much when taken irregularly. Like most vitamins and minerals, you need to have a constant, regular stream of them in your body for them to have any effect. Otherwise, the body will just flush the extra vitamins out of its system.

The pills are also often wrapped in a sexy package. If you see a pill that promises to give you a better sex life, it's probably not going to do much. It's a lot like a sexy billboard. It's meant to catch your eye, not a realistic representation of what's inside.

They're also often sold in gas stations, which is a red flag in and of itself. If a gas station is selling them, chances are their legitimacy is in question.

How Do Gas Station Sex Pills Compare to Viagra or Other ED Medications?

Viagra and other erectile dysfunction medications are designed to help men achieve and maintain a truly hard erection. They're designed to help with the vascularity of the penis and the ability to achieve an erection.

Viagra is a prescription drug, and the gas station sex pills are - to be frank - not. They often use ingredients that are not FDA approved and can be potentially dangerous.

Although these pills often are marketed as "safe," "natural," and "effective," you should always take marketing buzzwords with a grain of salt. They don't contain the same ingredients as Viagra, nor do they work in the same way.

Gas station sex pills are marketed to help guys keep going - to help them "last longer." Viagra, on the other hand, is a drug that is designed specifically to treat erectile dysfunction.

Viagra works because it’s a PDE5 inhibitor. It inhibits the PDE5 enzyme in your body, which helps to relax the penis and allow for an erection. Viagra does not increase blood flow to the penis; rather, it relaxes the tissues and allows blood to flow appropriately to allow for an erection.

Although some of the ingredients in these gas station pills may carry some weight, such as Horny Goat Weed, they need to be taken in much higher doses to be effective. In fact, some of the gas station sex pills have been found to have potentially dangerous ingredients, therefore they should be avoided.

Viagra is not a drug that is designed to make you last longer - it's designed to help you get and maintain an erection.

Who Makes Gas Station Sex Pills?

The most popular brands, Rhino, Panther, Jack'd, and WAP, are all made with some of the same key ingredients, and all of them are downright dangerous. These products are not made at a pharmaceutical factory, nor are they FDA approved or regulated.

The manufacturers of gas station sex pills warn that these products are not intended to be an oral substitute for erectile dysfunction or male enhancement pills. In fact, they warn that they are not intended to treat any medical condition at all. What they do warn is that the ingredients in gas station sex pills could cause a variety of serious side effects.

One of the most common active ingredients in these pills is Yohimbe, an extract from the bark of the Yohimbe tree in Africa. It has been used as a treatment for erectile dysfunction but has been found to be dangerous. Prolonged use can lead to elevated blood pressure when used incorrectly.

It's always important to see your doctor before taking any new types of supplements, as drug interactions can occur, as well as serious side effects. For instance, you may already be taking a prescription blood pressure medication and have no idea that taking Yohimbe could cause an interaction with your medication, causing your blood pressure to drop or rise.

Another active ingredient in gas station sex pills is L-arginine, an amino acid that is naturally produced by the body. But misuse of it has also been linked to dangerous side effects that can affect your heart and brain.

Men who take gas station sex pills can experience chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and other heart-related symptoms. On top of that, they don't work, and you're wasting your money.
