About Machismo Plus
Machismo Plus is an independent consumer-research platform covering male and female sexual wellness supplements. We do not manufacture, sell, or ship products. We research, compare, and recommend established options to help readers make informed purchasing decisions in a category dominated by overstated claims and inconsistent information.
This site is run by Greg Berryman, who personally researches and writes every review.
About Greg Berryman
I'm Greg Berryman, founder of Machismo Plus. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, I built my early career as a computer consultant before stepping back from corporate work to pursue independent projects. I've lived and worked in Buenos Aires, London, Berlin, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Bangkok, and now split my time between the South of France and Southeast Asia, primarily Phuket, Thailand.
Machismo Plus was established in response to the state of the sexual wellness supplement market. Most sites in this category exist to sell a single product. Others reproduce manufacturer marketing without independent assessment. As a long-term consumer of supplements in this category, I wanted a resource that compared products on substance, including identifying products that do not warrant the price asked.
I am not a doctor, pharmacist, or licensed healthcare professional, and this is stated clearly on every page. My role is consumer research: assessing what is commercially available, evaluating ingredient disclosure and brand credibility, and presenting the trade-offs in plain terms. Medical questions are referred to qualified professionals.

How We Review Products
Every product featured on Machismo Plus is assessed against consistent criteria:
- Established market presence: products with verifiable trading history and reliable supply, not unproven new entrants
- Ingredient disclosure: fully disclosed formulations with stated dosages, not proprietary blends that obscure quantities
- Clear product purpose: products with a clearly stated function and intended use case
- Manufacturer credibility: established brands with verifiable refund policies and functional customer support
- Defensible claims: marketing language consistent with what the formulation can reasonably support, in line with FDA dietary supplement guidance
Our Review Process
Each review on Machismo Plus involves the following steps:
- Initial screening: the product is assessed against the five criteria above. Products failing screening are documented but not recommended.
- Formulation analysis: publicly disclosed ingredients are cross-referenced against NIH Office of Dietary Supplements monographs and PubMed literature for plausibility of stated effects.
- Manufacturer verification: brand history, refund policy, customer service responsiveness, and complaint patterns are reviewed.
- Consumer feedback aggregation: independent user feedback from forums, retail platforms, and review aggregators is reviewed for consistent patterns rather than individual testimonials.
- Drafting and disclosure: the review is written, all affiliate relationships are disclosed, and any limitations of the analysis are stated.
Products that fail these criteria are either omitted or reviewed with the relevant concerns documented.
For independent ingredient research, we cross-reference public sources including the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements and peer-reviewed literature indexed on PubMed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Machismo Plus
Is Machismo Plus independent?
Yes. Machismo Plus is operated by Greg Berryman as a sole trader. We are not affiliated with, owned by, or invested in by any supplement manufacturer or distributor.
Who runs Machismo Plus?
Machismo Plus is owned and operated by Greg Berryman, who personally researches and writes every review on the site. Greg works as a sole trader under ABN 83 951 623 827, registered in Victoria, Australia. There is no editorial team, no ghostwriter, and no third-party content syndication. Every product assessment, every comparison, and every recommendation is the work of one person who is publicly accountable for it.
What qualifies Greg Berryman to review supplements?
Greg is not a doctor, pharmacist, or licensed healthcare professional, and this is stated openly on every page of the site. His qualification is consumer research: years spent reading manufacturer formulations, peer-reviewed ingredient literature, and authoritative dietary supplement guidance from sources such as the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements. Where personal experience with a product is relevant, it is mentioned, but reviews are grounded in formulation analysis rather than personal testimonial. Medical questions belong with a qualified clinician.
How do I know reviews aren't paid?
Brands cannot purchase reviews, rankings, or favourable coverage. Editorial decisions are made independently of any commercial relationship. Several of the highest-paying affiliate programs in this category are products we do not recommend, which is a direct consequence of this policy.
Who funds this site?
Machismo Plus is funded by affiliate commissions earned when readers purchase from manufacturers via our outbound links. We receive no payment from advertisers, brands, or third-party PR. Operating costs are covered by these commissions and personal investment from the founder.
Do you test products yourself?
Where appropriate, the founder has personal experience with several products covered. However, individual experience is not the basis of recommendations. Reviews are grounded in formulation analysis, manufacturer credibility, and publicly available consumer feedback rather than personal testimonial.
