I have experience with plenty of "mainstream" substances both legal and illegal. I know which illegal ones are appropriate, but now I'm not interested in that. I know that sex and masturbation don't require substances, but I'm not looking for something which will be used only for that.
Kratom is really good, I love it! It has some side effects and is addictive, but with a bit of discipline, it can be used responsibly. Why I'm looking for an alternative, is because Kratom for me makes sexual stuff more of a background thing, it seems to take over and it diminishes the "appetite" for it, if that makes sense. I've used it with different dosages and pauses, but I couldn't make it work and that messes with my mood in a bit chaotic way. I'd prefer to have a substance which has similar qualities to Kratom, but which enhances sex and the sensations, not "numb" them down.
The other legal substances which I've tried and why they don't work well for me now:

The other legal substances which I've tried and why they don't work well for me now:
- Alcohol
- I stopped drinking years ago and I'm not interested in it now.
- Nicotine
- I've tried it a couple of times, but I'm not interested in it at all.
- Caffeine
- I drink it, I love it, but it's definitely not a replacement for Kratom, for me at least. It works well sexually at least.
- Kava
- Too expensive long-term for me now.
- Phenibut
- Seems to mess you up long-term both physically and mentally. Stomach problems, insane withdrawals, severe rebound anxiety, etc. Yes, Kratom also has similar issues, but Phenibut seems scarier to me, maybe someone could convince me otherwise.
- Plenty of research chemicals
- Too many to list and it'll be pointless going through them. I'm a bit scared of the obscure ones, plus most are now covered by broad laws and I don't want to risk it, not worth it in my current situation.
- Blue Lotus
- Seems to be too mild for what I'm looking for. As far I understand it's similar to Chamomile. The extracts seem to be too "dirty" and a lot of shady stuff seems to be going around them.
- Kanna
- Same issue as "Blue Lotus". I assume all plants similar to this are going to have the same problem.
