| Re: serious premature ejaculation prob. ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED
Hi Goldie,
I can absolutely help you here - guaranteed. You'll need a doctor to discuss it with and to write a prescription.
I had the complete opposite problem to yours. I couldn't orgasm to save my life. It was a (then little known) side effect of a drug I was prescribed for anxiety. You may have heard of it...it's called Paxil. It's an SSRI (Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitor). There are several drugs in this class, the most well known being Prozac. However, Paxil has such a strong "anti-ejaculatory" side-effect, that it is now sometimes prescribed for men who have problems with premature ejaculation. I can absolutely assure you that it will take care of your problem.
I wished at the time - when it was forst prescribed to me - that someone had told me, because it became virtually impossible to orgasm. It would take a great deal of effort, similar to what it would be like if you had already orgasmed several times already. I think if you are really oversensitive, it may bring you to a "normal" level, and you will certainly be able to go a lot longer. Definitely.
A couple of other things though: You are still relatively young. I agree with the other guys - you might want to try just "working on it" a little bit before you try any medications. I'm 38 now, and when i was younger, I would sometimes orgasm too quickly.[deleted]
If you really can't hold back though...see about getting the Paxil. I've also heard someone else mention another SSRI - Zoloft - has a similar effect.
Additionally, a word of caution. Do not take the SSRI as if you were taking it for a psychological condition - i.e. 20-40mg a day for Paxil. You only want to take it the odd time that you know you'll be having sex. If you take it a few hours before, believe me, it'll do the trick. The reason I'm giving the "word of caution" is because you don't want your body or mind to get used to an SSRI, because you need to stop taking them slowly if you were on a regular dose every day.
Get a decent doctor, such as a urologist, and discuss it with him or her. Show them this message I've written, and see what they think. Also, do a little research on the SSRIs (esp. Paxil) and "difficulty ejaculating."
Above all, don't sweat it, and Good Luck!
