I am glad that works for you, but it doesn't and hasn't ever worked for me, and it won't. The reason for this is that my wife refuses to let me use the start and stop method. She doesn't want to participate in learning to help me be better in bed, she only wants to reap the benefits, without having to get messy and do the work. Selfish on her part? I believe so, but I love her nonetheless, and am committed to making my sex life and hers better.

Science is close to working on a successful drug that greatly helps with PE. Tests are showing very positive progress so far. More to come.

The drug of which you speak is an very short acting SSRI, so your warning about SSRI drugs is partially negated by your statement that a new drug is on the horizon.
Now, to the original poster:
With my doctor's help, I have chosen, recently to try Paxil for my PE, after reading many medical journal articles about various meds used to treat PE. From everything I have read, Paxil has been the biggest help to those who have participated in the clinical trials. Some studies even tested using Paxil only as needed, 4-6 hours before sex, and the results were promising. In one, taking Paxil 20mg 4-6 hours before intercourse improved intravaginal time from 30 seconds to over 3 minutes. In another, patients took 10mg daily for two weeks, then only took it as needed 20mg 4-6 hours before intercourse. Improvement in this study was from about 30 seconds to about 6 minutes.
For me, the possible side effects of the drug are of little consequence to me if they can help me restore some control to my sex life and some pleasure to my wife, despite the fact that she doesn't want to participate in helping me to achieve that. Just the increase in confidence that this will bring me make the other possible side effects seem negligible.
