Affiliate Disclosure

Independent Reviews. Reader-Supported.

Machismo Plus is an independent consumer-research platform. We review male and female sexual wellness supplements and earn a commission when readers purchase reviewed products through outbound links to manufacturer sites. Brands cannot purchase coverage, rankings, or favourable assessments. Editorial decisions are made by Greg Berryman based on formulation, manufacturer credibility, and defensible claims, not commission rates.

How Affiliate Funding Works

When you click a product link on this site and purchase from the manufacturer, the manufacturer pays Machismo Plus a referral commission. This is how we fund the editorial work on this site. The commission comes at no extra cost to you. Manufacturers set their own prices; we do not add markups, surcharges, or shipping fees of any kind.

Where You Will See the Disclosure

FTC guidance requires affiliate disclosures to be clear and conspicuous. You will see ours in two places:

  • On every product page, an italic disclosure paragraph appears immediately before the first link to the manufacturer's site.
  • On both category landing pages (Male Products and Female Products), a disclosure callout appears in the editorial body.

How Commissions Do Not Affect Editorial Decisions

Commissions support the site, but no product is recommended because of its commission rate. Reviews are written against fixed editorial criteria covering ingredient disclosure, manufacturer credibility, defensible claims, safety profile, and suitability. For our full position on which brands we cover and why others are excluded, see Brands We Review.

Independence in Practice

Independence is demonstrated, not just claimed. Concretely:

  • We do not accept paid placements, sponsored reviews, or "premium placement" arrangements with manufacturers.
  • Reviews include critical assessments and "who it is NOT for" sections, even for products we earn commissions on.
  • We exclude products from coverage when manufacturer disclosure, formulation quality, or claims fail our editorial criteria.
  • Editorial responsibility sits with one named author, Greg Berryman, not an anonymous editorial board.

Common Questions About Our Affiliate Model

Does using your affiliate link cost me more?

No. The price you pay on the manufacturer's site is identical whether you arrive through our link or by typing the manufacturer's URL directly. The manufacturer pays the commission out of their own marketing budget, not as a markup on your purchase. We never add surcharges, processing fees, or shipping costs of any kind.

Do you only review products that pay you commission?

No. Editorial coverage decisions are made first, based on our criteria for ingredient disclosure, manufacturer credibility, and defensible claims. Affiliate relationships exist with the manufacturers of products that meet those criteria, not the other way around. We exclude products from coverage when they fail our editorial standards, regardless of the commission rate offered. See Brands We Review for the full list of brands we cover and the brands we have chosen to exclude.

Can brands pay you for better reviews or rankings?

No. We do not accept paid placements, sponsored reviews, or "premium placement" arrangements. A manufacturer cannot purchase higher rankings, more favourable language, or removal of critical assessments from a review. Editorial control sits with one named author, Greg Berryman, who has no direct contact with brand marketing teams.

How is Machismo Plus different from a paid review site?

Three differences. First, we name the editor and his methodology publicly (see How We Review). Second, we publish critical assessments and "who it is NOT for" sections inside reviews of products we earn commissions on, which paid review sites typically avoid. Third, we exclude entire brands from coverage when they fail our standards, even when they offer competitive commissions. Paid review sites cover whoever pays.

What if I have a problem with a product I bought?

All purchases, returns, customer service, and refunds are handled directly by the manufacturer, not by Machismo Plus. We do not stock, ship, or fulfill any product. The manufacturer's website handles every step of the transaction once you click through. For shipping questions, see the Shipping Policy. For returns and refunds, see the Return and Refund Policy. For medical questions about a product, see the Medical Disclaimer.
