I was reading on the internet and found this site (there is a whole series of blogs associated with it from a medical group in California). Within this intersting article and elswhere in the blogs the common antihistamine ( and steroids) comes up as a major culprit in clitoral insensitivity and inability to have or difficulty having orgasms. As someone having been prescribed and taken antihistamines, nasal steroid sprays and steroid inhalers for asthma for 25 years....well it comes as a bit of a blow! Explains a lotthough, in conjunction with other things.

I don't know enough about it to comment intelligently, but thanks for posting, I always like to learn about new research.

How stupid of me. When I wrote "and found this site" I meant to insert the site address!

I'm sorry, it looks like that link was just a blurb to get people to sign up for a paid messageboard. I'm afraid you have been taken in.

Here is a link about the drying effect of antihistamines on lubrication:

And steroids on erectile tissue:

That is what I though too, Marrena. (And what a contrast to your exemplary attitude - if I may say so).

However I should be glad to be proved wrong. Has anyone here tried the 'protocol' and found it to be effective?

I looked on the thunder's place site and found one thread dealing with this, "Are histamines beneficial?" One man started trying out a course of supplements which sounds like the 'protocol' but he did not post his conclusion.

Thank you for your replies Marrena and the interesting links you provided. Elsewhere in their public blogs (free) was info as to why antihistamines would effect erectile tissue in both men and women. It comes down to antihistamines effect on circulation not the effect on lubrication and mucus membrane. While it was slightly annoying that their previously freely published protocols are no longer in the public domain, I understand thats how people make money.

Thank you again for all the information
