Question for MYASD
Original post in this thread

First off, I want to thank you for the time you've given me in the past when I had asked you questions via PM.
​
I finally bit the bullet back in December and ordered myself a large box of products from your company as a christmas gift to myself. I have been super impressed with my experimentation thus far.
​
After doing lots of lurking and seeing your posts here and in the nootropics reddit, I have also been impressed with your candid and open responses to others questions.
​
I am curious however, what is your own stack or go to products? I get the impression you've probably used a lot of the products you sell for yourself. What do you use and why? What are your favorite products?
​
Thanks!

I guess that makes sense although I'd lie if I told you I wasn't a little disappointed.
I can see the hesitancy from any financial perspective, as typically the companies that do market aphrodisiacs are as shady as all-hell and most have a reputation for sprinkling in generic sildenafil in their products as well. So they come and go like the wind and their products are usually crap to begin with.
I guess the thought for me is that seeing your passion in your work and the quality control you put in place, which seemingly goes above and beyond anything else within the supplement business, gives me the impression that if this were an area you did ever decide to target that you would crush it. I just think there's a huge market to be had because there are so many natural substances out there with powerful aphrodisiac/pro-erectile properties. I guess a lot of people just turn to the hard stuff if they are having issues (Viagra, Cialis, etc.) but I like the enhancement aspect, as both me and my wife have experimented with herbal supplements in this regard and have incredibly positive results.
So that's where my interest stems from I guess, I just see sex and sexual health as being a pretty important factor in most peoples lives so naturally I imagine there is quite an untapped market if there was a company that could do proper quality control and R&D with some of these substances…

There is a huge market, for sure. However, the reputation of that side of the business is bad because of all the shady people in it. So banks and card processors treat everyone that gets into it as shady, too. It sucks, but if banks and card processors say you can't sell it, and Google and Facebook say you can't market it, you are kind of SOL. I've learned to pick the fights you think you can win, and stay out of the fights you think you might lose. I think I will lose that fight. I fought so long for so many years with the banks, card processors, and with Google. I am sick of fighting losing battles. There are plenty of other fights that I might be able to win. However, not if I am off fighting other unwinnable ones in the meantime. I won't shy away from products I think are cool. I just won't be able to tailor to or market toward the sexual wellness side of things in the current environment.
