Serogen or Ogoplex?
I'm trying to decide which product is best in producing the "ropes". I am so tired of false adds. Serogen or Ogoplex?
Can you help?
I'll be honest: Of all the bogus herbal sexual enhancers and performance boosters currently available, including the male orgasm enhancers, I endorse Serogen. Put it this way: If you are among the 35% of men that can breakdown and absorb "defined" pollen, you should see a difference.
As is always the case with these types of all-natural supplements, keep in mind results vary depending on an individual's genetics, age, and lifestyle.
If you take a peek at the product review section posted on my Web page (http://www.nancy-ann.com/product-reviews/), you can read why I've critiqued the products in the order listed: It's simple ... company credibility! Somalab appears to be (from what I researched) the first stateside distributor of Serogen (which contains Cernate, the supplement's potent formula of pure Swedish pollen extract). I also base my comments on the fact that Somalab has its own toll-free customer-care line where you can call and speak to an actual human with a name (most all the other distributors of similar products are strictly online-only entities!).
Ditto goes for Somalab confidently listing on its literature and Web site (see www.somalab.net) an actual physical postal address that IS NOT an anonymous P.O. box! These obvious clues prove the company must be registered to do business in the state in which it resides.
Buyer Beware: Always look for giveaways such as a telephone contact and/or an actual land address when shopping on the Web. This holds true for EVERYTHING from herbal sexual enhancers to car stereos. Think about it: would you willingly give out your personal details and credit card information to an anonymous entity that cannot be contacted by phone or reached by certified mail?
Truth in Letter-writing
Antoine writes:
I have seen the letter about the "ropes" in several magazines. I've seen it in a weight lifting magazine, other health-related magazines, and adult publications. Each time the story changes and seems to be more intense. Is this merely marketing promotional or is this letter true? If so, why does its content change from time to time?
Via Internet
The original letter is indeed real. It's kind of become one of those "discovery" letters (industry lore) that launched a bunch of knock-off products. The first supplement that contained "defined" flower pollen was Serogen, and the company that mentioned "increasing your ropes" was a small import/export company called "Somalab." Somalab was the first company to import this "defined" pollen. Once it was proven that the product was effective (it always takes a maverick willing to take a risk) bigger companies with more resources and money started to knock off Serogen with cheaper blends and use the term "ropes" just as Somalab does.
Remember, Serogen is the original; although there are many copycats, their blends are different and inferior. All of Somalab's products are credible, original, and its Serogen line is the most effective orgasm enhancer on the market.
PRODUCT REVIEWS
ORGASM ENHANCERS
The majority of these “niche” products are not genuine. Some of them are simply cheap knock-offs hiding behind identical marketing tactics (claiming better “ropes”), and are wholly inferior to the original supplement(s) they are based on. Please keep in mind that product quality and effectiveness should be based solely on the blend. Some obvious tell-tale signs to stay away from: products without their own proprietary blend; products with obviously “corny” names (Ropex, Roplex, RopMax, RopeBest, etc); products that stand out as substantially “cheaper” than what appears to be market value of a month’s supply (anything under $30!); one-a-day tablets, since the human cellular system cannot possibly absorb a one-time high dose of any herbal extract; and products offered by companies that do not have physical addresses, their own “in-house” phone sales center, or even more unsettling an actual name! Any company where it is impossible to reach a sales manager or customer care representative (either by phone or email) or does not supply an address to mail in a money order is probably a bogus operation.
The following are brief reviews of six male orgasm intensifiers. Any product not listed was not worth mentioning (much like the second half of this list). Ratings (from best to worst) and reviews are based on customer satisfaction and reorder rate (if I could find it!), and most importantly, the company’s credibility and customer care ability (or lack of).
SEROGEN.
This is the original “defined” pollen-based supplement imported from Sweden and introduced (mail-direct) in the U.S and Canada. The distributor, Somalab, was the first to market Serogen as a “ropes” inducer and strengthener. Serogen is a highly effective herbal prostate and vas deferens strengthener that contains its own proprietary Cernitin-based blend of Cernate, and is the only product that offers a highly concentrated supply of 60 tablets, an effective 2-tab-a-day monthly system. Most importantly, Somalab has its own in-house sales center, a separate customer care department and phone line, and an actual address. Moreover, Somalab does not sell customer information or practice email “spamming” or “pop up” advertising.
* Because of the company’s sound credibility, Somalab’s sexual enhancers are the only products I endorse.

Ogoplex. ogoplex.com
This product was introduced around the same time as Serogen. Its pollen blend is similar to Serogen’s but Ogoplex only offers a month’s supply of 30 tablets. Boland Naturals, the product’s distributor, is the only other company besides Somalab that has an actual phone number to call and an in-house customer care department. Something to think about before ordering: Ogoplex used to be “Mioplex” but was forced to change its name for legal reasons (this may or may not be a good sign). 866-646-7539 (sales and customer care)
[Please note: the following products received a 1 or zero rating mainly for the obvious reasons: they have no phone number, no physical land address, and in some cases, not even a company name! They are sold online only, which is questionable. Order at your own risk!]
Semengen. semengen.com
I list this as #3 only because the U.K.-based company that supplies it, Global Natural Resources, is actually listed on the Web site (although its address is not!) and claims to have been around for a while. This product does not contain any defined pollen, but does contain saw palmetto, the next effective herbal prostate strengthener second to Cernate. The company offers no phone contact and does not have a phone sales center but does readily offer a 30-day, money-back guarantee on its Web site. The reviews I found online and in print were mixed. Buyer beware!
Semenax. semenax.com
This product contains no defined pollen or saw palmetto. Claims of 500% volume increase are simply unrealistically over-the-top! Not only does the distributor of this product NOT have a land address, I was unable to even find the company’s actual name! Best to stay away.
zero rating - Ropex. ropexusa.com
The name says it all: Ropex is as hokey and unoriginal as its kid sister Roplex (see next review). I was unable to find or contact the ghost company that peddles this product. Ropex touts itself as the original Swedish ropes formula, but curiously the product was introduced after Somalab and Ogoplex and uses the exact same marketing techniques as the #1 and #2 orgasm intensifiers … verbatim! Although Ropex contains its own pollen blend and claims a high milligram daily dose, users are directed to take 3 tablets a day in order to achieve the higher concentration its successors contain. Also, the lower price tag smells of a subpar blend. And as you can probably figure, without a company name there is no way to order by phone. Online only. Attention: Always beware of these nonexistent bricks-and-mortar suppliers.
zero rating - Roplex. roplex.info
Another Serogen wanna-be and Johnny-come-lately (the goofy name makes it obvious!). At least Roplex was confident enough to mention the name of its distributor: Medspan Laboratories. Of course no phone sales center exists. The only reason why Roplex rates below Ropex is because it contains mostly fillers; Medspan recently tried to get in the game and added a measly 100mg of defined pollen, rendering the supplement with a weaker amount of this active ingredient than the nonorignal replica listed above. Order at your own risk!
IMPORTANT NOTE TO MY READERS
As a service to all my readers the following are simple ways to sniff out potentially bogus or inferior sexual products currently doing business on the Internet (there are many).
1) Make sure the company lists its physical address (usually in "Contact" or "About us" tab on the home page. If there is no physical listing, the company probably doesn't exist.
2) Be even more suspect if there is no telephone number to place an order or handle customer care questions or returns.
3) If there is a phone order number, call to make sure you are indeed calling the company that is selling the product. If you get an operator at a "general" call center (these places sometimes sell anything from bed mattresses to sex toys) or If you're not sure you've reached one of these call centers), ask the operator what other products are sold. Another good way of finding out is to ask a bunch of challenging questions about the product you're interested in. You'll know right away if the operator sells only the product you are calling about, or has a notebook in front of him/her with many different products and simply reads off a page when asked about your particular product.
Lastly, any deals, offers or claims that are too good to be true ("3 or more inches" "500%" increase" . etc., most likely they are FAR, FAR from true. So far from the truth, they are most likely false.

Black Gold
BLACK GOLD ... exclusively distributed by Somalab
Although Black Gold falls under the “orgasm enhancer” category, this supplement has all-around beneficial enhancement properties stretching beyond just the sexual. BG contains Somalab’s same proprietary ingredient, Cernate that makes Serogen and Serogen SP so effective in strengthening and intensifying orgasms. However, BG only has 230 mg. of Cernate (as opposed to 320mg in SP). One of the elements that make this product unique is its Golden Kat blend (200 mg.) which consists of mostly Longjack root (5:1 extract) with a touch of yohimbe bark (10% yohimbe) and very small amount (a “kicker”) of caffeine (which aids in accelerating the blend’s results).
But what makes this product exceptional is the inclusion of a “key kicker”: BG contains 20 mg. of “flush” niacin (also known as vitamin B3). Niacin’s properties cause small blood vessels (called “capillaries”) to increase in size. A great deal of your body, particularly the parts near the surface (exterior skin areas) get their ONLY supply of blood (also oxygen!) from these small capillaries. So, if these capillaries are not carrying blood, then these parts of the body are not getting sufficient nourishment and oxygen. By increasing the size of your capillaries, these vessels can carry two or three blood cells at the same time. This is a tremendous increase in blood flow!
Although the niacin dosage is well below 100 mg, some people experience a “niacin flush,” which causes surface itching and red skin. This sensation can last for 10 minutes or as long as an hour. This niacin “glow” is not harmful or dangerous. Some people worry about it, but it is actually a sign of very healthy cleansing and improved blood flow.
[A list of detailed niacin studies can be found at oralchelation.com/technical/niacin1.htm]
The combination of all these ingredients sets Black Gold in its own category, and is why I haven’t grouped it an any one specific field. Besides the orgasmic strengthening achieved with Cernate, BG’s multipart impulse supplement will improve physical and mental performance, enhance endurance and stamina, reduce mental fatigue and exhaustion, and strengthen immune system.
Somalab reports a solid reorder rate. For the men who are not adverse to an initial niacin flush (and can harness this flush sensation to their advantage), they have made BG their Somalab product of choice.
Somalab offers a 30-day supply as well as 10-day “starter kits” of BG.
You can visit Somalab’s informational Website (www.black-gold.net) to order or you can call the distributer toll-free number (1-866-SOMALAB) to order or request a product catalog.

SCAM SITE REPORTS
The nature of the Web has changed in the last year. Companies that sell products use sneaky optimization practices, create “shadow” sites and write negative reviews and comments about their competitor’s products in the hope to steal the competition away and lure them to the actual Web site that sells the site that gets all the made up accolades. The more you search the Web for products, the more you’ll see these kinds of sites. They are practically identical in nature and companies pay a great deal of money to “buy” these ad positions on search engines like Google and Yahoo. In order to have their advertisements seen they pay more money for their competitions’ product and company name, more money than the competitors pay for their trademarked names themselves!
Website’s that Border on Trademark Infringement
This practice has gotten out of control in the sexual enhancer arena, in particular. Many readers ask me about all kinds of products and as I research them on the Web, I’ve become alarmed at what some Werbsellers will stoop to in order to garner Web traffic.
So … Knowing that money is tight in these difficult economic times, and because reader have brought some of this behavior to light, as a service to my readers (and anyone that shops on the Web), I feel it’s my duty to give out a few “protection” pointers when shopping for sexual enhancements on the Web. Show people some examples of bogus or shadow sites, and provide some simple ways to use these fictitious sites to your advantage in order to find the better product you are looking for.
For example, this is a random site (I’ve heard of Orexis because of consumer complaints; I’ve never heard of Zenerx) I’ve pulled of Google to illustrate how a shadow site is intended to work and how to spot what product the site is shilling for:
The URL is http://impotenceguide.info/orexis-review.html
The corny doctor with the clipboard is the first dead giveaway; the 2d is the “comparision” chart. I clicked on “Let Us Know About Male Products You Have Used - Good and Bad” and emailed the Web administrator. Here’s what I posted:
“I've used both products: Orexis and Zenerx and found them to be of no help when it comes to helping erectile dysfunction. These products did not work, especially Zenerx.
There is no substitute for ED pharmaceuticals like Viagra,® Cialis, ® and Levitra® Please compare Zenerx and Orexis with these top-selling ED medications.”
Because this ED “info” site is shilling for Zenerx, I can guarantee you not only will the site not publish my email, I will not even get a reply!
How to Spot Dubious Web Content
These sites are considered “shadow” or “shill” sites, meaning they are usually administered by a company selling a particular competing product. Shadow sites contain fabricated content (whether it be negative reviews of competitor’s product or fake or anonymous forum postings).The best way to spot these sites are if they are associated with sponsored ads (paid ads that are strategically placed on a search engine page (for example, Google) when a competitor’s product is typed in the search field. The obvious culprits are sites that claim to have hundreds of product reviews or product “comparison” charts. Some sites go as far as creating fictitious “awards” for the product that the page is shilling. Also, be on the lookout for sites with “blogs” that regardless of the product you are searching for, you are in some way magically “steered” to the same product that is somehow always mentioned as the “best” of the bunch.
Another dead giveaway is that the templates of each site (color, font, identical wording, etc) is almost always similar or exactly the same. This type of Web presence is illegal and dishonest.
How to Find Honest Product Reviews, Not Fake or “Planted” Ones
Before I list a bunch of the worst offenders, I want to explain how Web shoppers can discern honest user reviews from disguised ones.
The best way for users to find honest reviews and comments about products they’re thinking of purchasing is to read customer reviews on Amazon, eBay or some of the other legitimate auction sites. User comments found on sites like Amazon are verified before they are posted.
How Web Shoppers can Use These Fabricated Sites to Guide them to the Better Product
Companies that sell products that work don’t need to use their own product names to gain brand loyalty (For instance, the three ED medications I mentioned earlier (Viagra,® Cialis, ® and Levitra®) speak for themselves.
Lets take a look at how someone using a search engine like Google can use the keywords that trigger all these “paid-for” sites to find the optimal product.
For an example, I typed “Serogen” into Google’s search bar.
Here’s some of the sponsored ads that came up:
www.viswiss.com
http://www.herbal-sex-secrets.com/
http://www.themanschoice.com
http://www.everestnutrition.com/?SSAID=279755
http://www.libidez.com/
Each Libidez™ capsule contains 420mg of an incredibly potent all-natural Erection Boosting Blend! This particular blend took over 7 years to perfect.
Libidez™ is comprised of a special blend of Herbs, Mushrooms and Greens.
Sexual Stimulant Blend 180mg
Organic Green Blend 60mg
I’ve also listed a few sites that have come up on the radar as “questionable.” The sites I’ve mentioned have either been reported by customers to consumer spots such as www.ripoffreport.com and www.complaints.com as well as sites with pending lawsuits against them as reported by Internet press release news services.
The following sites are guilty of this fraudulent behavior (most all of them are associated with the product, Orexis, distributed by Urban Nutrition.
www.ManTested.com
www.Herbal-Sex-Secrets.com
www.mensblogcustomers.com
www.themanschoice.com
www.mensblogtalk.com
I encourage my readers send email to me if you feel you have been misled or believe you have purchased a bogus product from a questionable Webseller.
