> Please give some thought to trying the non-medical methods I mentioned in my other post. They really do work. Meds can be effective for delaying orgasm, but they tend to numb you and reduce your pleasure. They can also cause erection problems.
Hello Lars!!
Thank you for your advice :-)
I will try the non-medical methods. Wish me luck! Do you have PE?You right about the numbness. Paxil 60mg was quite effective as suppressing orgasm but my sex drive was low and the pleasure was reduced. Still, I do 'function' better on Paxil than without it. Other SSRIs don't seem as 'good' at suppressing ejac... perhaps because Paxil is a more potent SRI!
>The non-medical methods actually increase your pleasure by letting you sustain a high level of arousal over time.
I never in my life been able to sustain a high level of arousal over time.
This is how I work.....
Off meds....
Erection followed very rapidly by orgasm. To be honest, anorgasmia would be better.
On Paxil 60mg....
Erection followed by an acceptably long but rather boring period of 'numbness' followed by orgasm.
I'm convinced that my PE is not psychosomatic... trust me, I've had so many psychosomatic symptoms in my short life that I'm very good at recognising them! I've had PE all my life. It is not situational ie. it is not caused by anxiety. ......Although sex does make me anxious which is another matter entirely.
>They also give you the flexibility to last a long time when that's what you want, and a short time when that seems more appropriate, and you can use them long after pdrugs are behind you.
Sounds fantastic :-)
I'm still interested in the drugs though because I do need them for my anxiety. My OCD tends to relapse a few months after stopping my SSRI so I end up having to restart it. I'm also interested in Nardil because of the side effects that I get from SSRIs. Anyway, under stressful conditions SSRIs aren't always adequate to control my anxiety.
Regards,
Ed.PS. Here is a message to any nasty people (not you lars) who are sitting at their computers laughing at me for haiving a bad case of PE..........
Just remember...
I can have a nice orgasm on Paxil 60mg. I bet you can't! LOLMaybe I'm being paranoid....
