Hey all. Has anyone tried this stuff? I've been looking up quite a bit of stuff on it online, and it seems like the perfect drug for two lovers to try, especially since it seems perfectly legal!

Be sure that yohimbe is legal where you are. Germany, for example, has banned the bark, the FDA is seriously considering banning it, for example.
While on the surface, yohimbe sounds like a fun drug, safe and legal; it claims to be an aphrodisiac, is a hallucinogen, etc etc. However, if you scratch the surface, it's riddled with problems. For example, the FDA received overwhelming reports of seizure and liver failure, you can't eat cheeses, red wine and can't be on nasal decongestants. And that's just the top of the list.
All of this to say is be careful and do your research before trying it. From what I've heard, it wasn't worth it. Good luck.

It sounds a lot like ephedra. That was legal, too, until there were enough reports of people stroking out, having serious health problems and dying from it.
There are MANY "natural supplements" that are legal and claim to have positive sexual effects. Some of them work, some of them don't. You can't discount the placebo effect, either; if you're convinced a pill is going to improve your sexual performance/experience, your brain will likely interpret any activity as better.
Because a lot of these substances supposedly work by increasing bloodflow and generally screwing with the cardiovascular system, they can be very unsafe (remember, the regulation of "supplements" is substandard at best in the US and many other countries), so be sure to bring your research to your doctor to have a better shot at staying healthy and alive.
