What's that "thrill pill" all about?

You know what’s awkward?

Talking about libido when it feels like yours has left the building.

Worse? Feeling like you shouldwant more intimacy with your partner, but your body and brain aren’t exactly on the same page.

It’s more common than you think. I’ve heard this from many clients, both women and men.

• “I miss how things used to be.”

• “I still love my partner, but I’m never in the mood.”

• “Isn’t there something I can take that’s not just a blood flow pill?”

Let’s talk about that last one. Because yes, there is.

In fact, a client messaged me the other day asking about it, and I told her I'd cover it for this week's Nikkola Newsletter.

It’s called The Thrill Pill. And unlike those typical “date night” meds people know about, this one’s designed to help you feel more connected, more excited, and more responsive, not just more engorged.

But before we get there, let’s talk about what’s really going on behind the scenes when libido disappears.

When Intimacy Feels Off, It’s Not Just “In Your Head”

Libido is a complicated thing. It’s not like turning on a light switch. It’s more like warming up a vintage car in a Minnesota winter.

You need the right spark, the right pressure, the right timing…and some days, even when you’ve done everything “right,” it just sputters.

Here’s why it happens:

• Stress hijacks your brainby flooding your system with cortisol, which suppresses sexual desire (and floods you with anxiety instead).

• Sleep deprivation tanks testosterone in both men and women, which makes you feel foggy, tired, and uninterested.

• Hormonal shifts, like perimenopause, menopause, or post-pill recovery, can drastically lower your physical desire and ability to respond to touch.

• Gut dysfunction and inflammation affect neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin that regulate desire and bonding.

• And let’s not forget relationship stress, body image, and everyday exhaustion from being a parent, business owner, or just a human in 2025.

It’s not you. It’s your physiology. And if you don’t feel turned on, present, or connected, it’s not just psychological. It’s biochemical.

Which brings us back to the Thrill Pill.

Why the Thrill Pill Works (And Why It’s So Different)

Unlike single-ingredient intimacy meds that only focus on blood flow (like Viagra or Cialis), the Thrill Pill is a 3-in-1 blend of:

✅ Tadalafil (10 mg)
✅ PT-141 (2000 mcg)
✅ Oxytocin (100 IU)

Each compound works in a completely different way, and that’s what makes it so effective. Let’s break each one down.

1. Tadalafil: The Unsung Hero for Both Genders

Most people associate Tadalafil with erectile function, and yes, it works for that. But its benefits go far beyond that narrow definition.

Tadalafil improves nitric oxide signaling, which boosts blood flow not just to the genitals, but also to your brain and heart.

For men, it:

• Supports strong, reliable erections.

• Improves endothelial function (aka better blood vessel health).

• Can reduce performance anxiety when taken proactively.

For women, it:

• Increases blood flow to the clitoris and vaginal tissue.

• Enhances lubrication and sensitivity.

• Lowers the arousal threshold, so you’re more responsive, faster.

Unlike fast-acting drugs, Tadalafil stays in your system longer (24–36 hours), so you’re not timing your entire night around a pill. You’re just ready, physically, when you want to be.

2. PT-141: Reigniting the Flame (Even If It’s Been a While)

This is where things get interesting.

PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, doesn’t work by affecting blood flow at all.

Instead, it works in the hypothalamus, the command center of your brain that regulates motivation, appetite, and sexual desire.

PT-141 literally re-engages the pathways of desire. That means it:

• Increases mental arousal and craving for intimacy.

• Enhances sensitivity to physical touch.

• Can “rewire” low libido, even in cases of sexual dysfunction or post-hormonal drop-off.

It’s FDA-approved for treating low libido in women, and yes, it works for men too.

If Tadalafil gets your body ready…PT-141 gets your brain on board.

3. Oxytocin: The Love Hormone You Didn’t Know You Were Missing

We make oxytocin naturally during:

• Birth and breastfeeding

• Orgasms

• Hugging or cuddling

• Deep eye contact

• Acts of affection or connection

But modern life doesn’t exactly overflow with those moments. And as stress goes up and human contact goes down, so does oxytocin.

Low oxytocin levels have been linked to:

• Increased anxiety

• Lower trust and bonding

• Difficulty orgasming

• Reduced sexual satisfaction

Supplementing with a small dose of oxytocin, like the 100 IU in the Thrill Pill, can:

• Deepen connection and bonding

• Enhance emotional openness

• Increase the pleasure and intensity of climax

This isn’t just a “feel-good” bonus. It’s one of the core reasons the Thrill Pill stands out.

Because let’s be honest: sex is about connection. Not just climax. Not just “getting it done.” But that in-the-moment, lose-track-of-time, “I feel like me again” connection.

That’s oxytocin’s domain. And it’s why so many couples say the Thrill Pill helped them remember what that feels like.

Why This Combo Is So Unique

Let’s recap:

• Tadalafil: Blood flow, sensitivity, responsiveness
• PT-141: Mental desire, libido, motivation
• Oxytocin: Bonding, connection, satisfaction

Separately, these are helpful. But together, they create a full-spectrum intimacy enhancer, supporting the physical, mental, and emotional sides of connection.

This matters. Because most intimacy issues don’t come from just one broken link, they come from a tangle of factors.

And when you combine a mild vasodilator, a neuropeptide that stimulates desire, and a bonding hormone?

You get something that actually works for both partners.

Do I Really Need This?”

If you’re asking that, this product might not be for you.

This isn’t for people chasing performance perfection. It’s not for those looking for a shortcut to skip working on their relationship.

It’s for people who:

• Miss how intimacy used to feel.

• Struggle to get their mind in the moment.

• Want to say yes to their partner, but their body says no.

• Feel frustrated by low libido, even if everything else “looks fine” on paper.

• Just want to experience more pleasure, more often, without pressure or awkward planning.

If that’s you, or your partner, it might be worth trying.

What to Expect

Here’s something most people don’t realize: the Thrill Pill doesn’t always hit on night one.

In fact, many people take it the first time and think, “Hmm… I don’t feel much.”

Sometimes even the second time.

And then, sometime around that second or third use, it clicks.

That’s when you understand why it’s called the Thrill Pill.

Here’s why that happens.

Unlike quick-fix “performance” meds that rely on a single, surface-level mechanism (think: instant blood flow and that’s it), the Thrill Pill works on three different systems in your body, neurological, hormonal, and vascular.

Each of those takes time to “retrain” and respond.

• PT-141 works on the hypothalamus, the brain’s motivation and desire hub. It can take a couple of doses before your brain fully reactivates those pathways of arousal, especially if stress, hormones, or emotional fatigue have shut them down for a while.

• Oxytocin builds connection and bonding, but its effects are cumulative. The more you experience connection or intimacy under its influence, the more your body relearns how to produce and respond to it naturally.

• Tadalafil improves blood flow and sensitivity, but it also enhances vascular tone over time, meaning you’ll see its best results after a few uses, not just in one “performance window.”

So instead of an artificial high followed by a crash, you’re giving your body a real reset.

By the third experience, your nervous system, brain, and circulation have all had time to “sync up.” You’ll likely find yourself feeling more relaxed, more responsive, and more genuinely present—without forcing it.

And that’s what makes it powerful.

It’s not about manufacturing a reaction.
It’s about restoring your natural rhythm, the way desire, connection, and pleasure are meant to work.

Intimacy Deserves Better Tools

There’s no shame in using science to help your body and brain connect more deeply. In fact, the only shame is pretending everything’s fine when it isn’t.

We use supplements for energy, peptides for recovery, GLP-1s for weight loss…why wouldn’t we use something to enhance one of the most meaningful parts of life?

The Thrill Pill isn’t magic. But it might help you remember the magic you used to feel and help you create more of it.

Order it here and see what happens when you give your intimacy the same attention you give your nutrition, fitness, and recovery.

Your brain, body, and partner might thank you.
