ManMaker potency automat reduces need for alcohol, mood drugs

The ManMaker potency packs introduced onto the market two years ago have dramatically reduced the use of alcohol and drugs in several countries, according to a survey carried out on behalf of the Paris Medical Academy.

According to the exhaustive study, the health and mental well-being of men afflicted with erectile dysfunction problems have on average shown marked improvements after they began using ManMaker potency automats. At the same time, users have reported that they less often resort to alcohol or designer soft drugs (such as MindUp or Heaven) and have reduced the doses of these substances that they take. Most respondents further stated that their self-confidence was up, and that their social life had improved. More than 12,000 men were interviewed in 19 countries.

Two years ago the French L’Institute de la Psychologie began marketing of a self-adjusting potency autopack. Worldwide sales of the pack, which internationally goes under a number of names - ManMaker, StiffUpperLip, Stondis, and Le Coq Sportif among them - have exceeded 110 million units, and demand appears to be firm.

The device is in two parts, comprising a dispenser capsule implanted at the root of the penis and a remote control clock and keypad. The capsule contains 350 doses of a concentrated pharmaceutical compound which both heightens the sense of sexual arousement and relaxes and widens the arteries in the penis, allowing blood flow into the organ to increase, and at the same time compressing the veins that carry blood away from the penis. The principle is similar to that used in the now-banned late 20th century drug Viagra®, but the associated problems with users also taking nitroglycerin for angina pectoris (chest pain due to heart disease) have now been successfully overcome. The effective duration of a single ManMaker dose is a maximum of two hours, but the user may regulate the moment and duration of his erection using the remote control pad.

Many organizations campaigning on behalf of “natural life” have demanded the potency packs be banned as unnatural artificial aids, but thus far only Great Britain and Ireland have drafted legislation to restrict sales.

Toteuma-arvio 2026

Toteuma lyhyesti

  • Ilmiön toteuma: 4/5
  • Toteuma viiden vuoden tarkkuudella: kyllä; arviointi-ikkuna on 2006–2016
  • Toteuma väljemmällä aikahorisontilla: kyllä, erittäin vahvasti
  • Ilmiön ydin: tehokas ja käyttäjän hallitsema erektiohäiriön hoito parantaa seksuaalista toimintakykyä ja voi kohentaa psyykkistä sekä sosiaalista hyvinvointia.

PDE5-lääkkeet ja implantoitavat apuvälineet ovat tehneet erektiohäiriön hoidosta tehokasta ja tarvittaessa käytettävää. Laajaa osoitusta alkoholin tai mielialalääkkeiden käytön vähenemisestä ei ole, eikä etäohjattua annostelukapselia käytetä yleisesti.

Johtopäätös: hoidon ja hyvinvointivaikutuksen ydin toteutui, vaikka automaatti ja sivuvaikutusväitteet eivät.
