I was shopping Adam and Eve when I spotted this product and figured it might make things a little more interesting. Who doesn’t desire more orgasms? However, Adam and Eve’s Make Me Cum clit sensitizing gel did not.. make me cum. I cannot say that it did not aid in this pursuit, but if it did, its effects were not obvious enough for me to say that it’s a good investment.
Make me cum is a clear gel that comes in a 1/2-ounce jar, and for what it does, I find the price tag of $9.95 to a bit much. I mean, this jar is just small. I wasn’t expecting anything huge, but I did not realize I was paying so much for so little. It’s about the same size as those small jars of eye cream. You’re not getting much.
With that said, you don’t exactly use a whole lot. I usually dab my finger in the jar once or twice, then rub the gel around my clit. There was a faint medicinal scent that wasn’t necessarily unpleasant, and neither smell nor taste has ever been noticeable to my husband when I applied the gel.
The active ingredient of which is L-Argenine, which is:
an amino acid that has numerous functions in the body. It helps the body get rid of ammonia (a waste product), is used to make compounds in the body such creatine, L-glutamate, and L-proline, and can be converted to glucose and glycogen if needed.
L-arginine is used to make the nitric oxide, a compound in the body that relaxes blood vessels. Preliminary studies have found that L-arginine may help with conditions that improve when blood vessels are relaxed (called vasodilation), such as atherosclerosis, erectile dysfunction, and intermittent claudication.
So I would assume that applying this topically would loosen up muscles in the clitoral area, allowing blood flow to my clit to increase. Thus, my clitoris would be more erect and more sensitive. The science makes sense, but just because my clitoris is more engorged does not necessarily make anything more pleasurable or guarantee more orgasms.
Note that l’arginine may trigger herpes outbreaks so you may want to pass over this product if you or your partner have oral or genital herpes.
I have used this before masturbation and sex. I like the idea of applying the gel because I’m anticipating sex. It makes me feel a little naughty like I have a little secret that no one else knows. I become more aware of my sexuality, but I think it’s more placebo effect than the result of this clit sensitizer.
Once I apply this gel, I either feel nothing at all or a general sort of heat happening around my clit. Now, I suppose this means that the gel is working and blood is rushing to my clit, but the heat is more unpleasant than pleasant. I don’t feel particularly aroused or more sensitive, but some stimuli do seem to be a bit more intense.
But perhaps the big test of success here should be whether or not I do experience an increase in the “frequency of orgasm” as the jar states. I have to say that I have experienced mixed results, and it is a bit difficult to pin the success of failure or orgasm on this gel alone or on surrounding circumstances.
About half the times I used this gel, I did feel like I had a better orgasm. The times that come to mind were also more pleasurable sexually intimate experiences in general, so that may have increased my pleasure more than this jar. Even with better orgasms, they were not easier, and I would assume that a product that induces more orgasms should also make them easier to achieve. Otherwise, where exactly does “more frequent” come into play?
The rest of the time, there was no discernible effect when it came to the quality or frequency of orgasm. Period. These were usually the times when I also felt no stimulation from the gel after application.
The bottom line is that this is an overpriced product, and its main strength is the placebo effect. If you want, you can let yourself think this product is awakening your clit. If this gel did anything at all, it made my clit feel warmer and may have increased the enjoyability of my orgasms. However, I cannot say it did so for a fact. Furthermore, I have no conclusive evidence that Make Me Cum clit sensitizer increased the frequency of my orgasm. As for the advertised purpose of this product, I would call it a failure, and I cannot recommend it to anyone else.
