LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – There is a new chewing gum out, but it is only for men.  It's called Sexlets and the makers claim it enhances the male libido and performance.  It is not FDA approved or a prescription drug like Viagra or Cialis because it is just a natural blend of supplements, including ginseng, vitamin E and something called yohimbe bark.

"Yohimbe has been known to affect blood pressure," said Harvey Samowitz, M.D., and urologist.  "It's been around for a long, long time used by American Indians, I believe and it does increase the blood flow to the penis."

Anything that increases your blood pressure could be of concern to some people, but if you talk to a urologist before trying the gum, you might find other safer options that will give you what you're looking for.
