What drugs can help with premature ejaculation?

[NeighborhoodThreat]

^I'm glad to hear that things ended up working out for ya, SSRIs are a very fickle and interesting class of drugs, I know lots of people who have had their sex drives completely and totally erased by SSRI drugs, but, as can be seen by J.G and WorldWarMe's experiences, they can also be used to help enhance sexual experiences...

Quite an interesting discussion indeed.

 

[What was it?]

tramadol or buprenorphine

I am glad the staff left this open. I like discussion boards to encourage discussion.

I am glad the SSRI worked for you, Worldwarme. Keep an eye out for any side effects. Different SSRI's have different effects and side effects.

Prozac made an erection impossible one night and I was with 2 girls. That was the last night I took it. Lexapro worked well as an antidepressant as well as cymbalta with the pleasant side effect of having some sexual stamina.

Tons of repeated sexual practice also helps, but some girlfriends are not so cooperative in that endeavor. Wives, by definition, are uncooperative when it comes to quantity sex.

As far as I know I haven't had any side effects aside from delaying ejaculation. I've been on it 15 days, too. It seems to make me happier too, it puts me in a better mood.

LOL. sad but true. if i ever get divorced, i'll probably have to follow the advice in this thread before i start dating again.
(just kidding, sweetie, eek :/ )

Are you sure it isn't just that husbands might not be making the prospect a particularly attractive one?

Keep thinking I should close this really, but am enjoying the discussion too.. :D

I'd also like to add that Sertraline also works wonders for anxiety. I've had absolutely no anxiety since I started taking it.
I have a confession; sometimes I'll take more then my recommended dose. If my girlfriend calls me over to her house around 6pm (I take my Sertraline 50mg at around 10:30am every morning) I'll take another 50mg to insure that nothing goes wrong during sex. I read that taking the Sertraline 3-4 hours before sexual activity is ideal, so that's what I've been doing. I'm just worried I may be taking too much, even though I don't feel any side effects yet.

Also, I've been drinking on them. Quite a bit. About once, maybe twice a week. They make it feel like I can drink and drink and drink and never stop. I've realised this isn't a good thing so I make sure I only drink my usual amount and not to exceed it even if I feel like I can.

Edit: I realized that I may be annoying some people by keeping this thread on the front page, so if you get annoyed just let me know and I can let it move along to the lonely second page

Paroxetine works*! It is an SSRI - primarily used for depression/anxiety however has been used off-label to deal with premature ejaculation!

Can definitely vouch that it works but I wouldn't recommend using an AD to help with premature ejaculation issues!

*personally am on it for an anxiety issue. but a nice "side effect" which has left my bf not complaining!

I cannot believe that three pages later, and no one has bothered to ask the the OP his age. I take all things men's health related very seriously, and so I hope that no one will mind if I chime in here with my own two cents...

First, how old are you? Because it is not at all unusual for a still largely inexperienced young man between the ages seventeen and nineteen to experience "premature ejaculation." I swear, it's a trip wire those first few years. Is it embarrassing? Yeah, for sure, but it's not that there's something wrong with you, and it's not premature ejaculation.

And how long exactly do you last? The average time for most men is between seven and ten minutes; so if you fall somewhere between seven and ten minutes, then you're average, and again, it's not what I would consider to be "premature ejaculation."

Let me give you just one piece of advice here, unless you are twenty-six years old and cannot last longer than three or four minutes, forget all about "premature ejaculation." It's not what you have; you're not sick, and you need to understand that these ideas are foreign, they're harmful, and that media is the culprit. It makes me sick to imagine a young man walking into a doctor's office to discuss "premature ejaculation."

Consider this: In the same way that a model on the cover of whatever popular magazine sends the message to young women, "if you're not thin and beautiful like me, you're not desirable," well, every male porn star you come across online sends the message to young men, "if you're not built, hung, and if you can't bang for an hour and a half like me, then there's something wrong with you..." It's not true, and it destroys our confidence.

Thank you Verso, that is an excellent point - had skimmed over this thread as I don't know much about the topic but you're right! It is very easy to think you are abnormal when you are not at all..

Of course, even if something is not technically abnormal it can still cause distress and bother the person, but perhaps a different approach would be more appropriate rather than leaping in with meds.. perfect excuse to have lots more sex with your gf to practice and improve your lasting ability for example

 

[verso]

Oh, definitely! I remember when I was a younger man and uh, more promiscuous than I am now, and I remember the anxiety, my stomach twisting up into knots whenever a girlfriend would come over. I couldn't last, and it was really, really embarrassing and really, really frustrating. I thought that I was one of the unlucky few who had this terrible new thing called "premature ejaculation." Because all other men can bang for an hour, switch up the positions half a dozen times, and then shake out their orgasms when they're damn well ready to, right? That's what it means to be a man!

I've learned over the years that this is not at all the case, and I've learned a little secret: I know within the first thirty seconds of intercourse whether or not the girl I'm with will be a good partner. If I don't see her reach down in between her legs and begin to flick her bean, then it's no good, I know what kind of a girl this is; she's going to expect me to do all of the work, and she's going to expect that porn-like, hour-long romp session. So, at this point, you may as well just pack her things up, throw her out, and put in a movie because you're not going to meet her expectations and you are going to disappoint her.

But! If she does reach down in between her legs and begins to play with herself, then she knows what's up and she's worth your time. It's these girls that you will make cum and probably at the same time or before you cum. I have never disappointed these girls, and they have never disappointed me. :D

That being said, I do believe that it's important for both partners to get off, and so men today really do need to step up their game when it comes to cunnilingus. Seriously, I have saved the day before by tongue-strummin' the ol' clit-ar. If you blow up before she does, get down there and eat it. If she cums, great, and if she doesn't, well... you'll probably get it up a second time and can go again for round two.

....

(this thread is) Probably a good example why (the replies/comments/opinions/etc. on) BL shouldn't be used or taken as medical advice, I guess!

+1! /qft/ (we [that is, males] have all been there [surely?] )

Good/eloquent, post, verso!

If you have had sex whilst drinking, how does it affect the medication in terms of ejaculation, if at all?

(afaik) There is no cross-drug interactions between SSIR's (Sertraline) and alcohol. Having said that, it is still not advisable to consume both drugs (in any quantities, let alone in excess) for obvious reasons I would think! Typically alcohol can (somewhat I guess ) have the side-effect of helping with premature ejaculation, as with Sertraline too - so technically it may help, yes.


Edit: would just like to make it quite clear (and partly to cover my ass a little ) that no one should really be taking on board 100% any sort of medical advice from BL - I could be some 14yo, pimply faced, pre-pubescent high schooler, copy and pasting from pub-med for all anyone out there in the Internet-land. (I'm not though btw! There's a few people here on BL who can vouch for that! ) Definitely take the advice on board however! There are some very smart people who frequent these broads!

 

[rangrz]

I know that both SSRI's and tricyclics are prescribed for premature ejaculation. Of course they have other side effects and interactions and it would be best to consult your Doctor/Nurse practitioner.

From the world of recreational drugs, empathogens like MDMA are pretty good at that. (due to the massive release of 5HT) as are psychostimulants. (Due to general increase in monoamines including 5HT) but, do you really think its worth it to do such a drug for the sole purpose of delayed ejaculation?

 

[effie]

I think I am going to close this thread now - it has been open and running a long time, and there have been a lot of interesting discussion and a lot of advice - but as verso said, there are difficulties with assuming premature ejaculation is a problem that needs medicating. I think most of the options have been covered anyway, but I hope the OP reads verso's post as well.

If anyone has a problem with this send me a pm
