Q: Delaying Ejaculation with Serotonin Uptake Inhibitors

asked by: DoctorQuestion on January 31st, 2006

Hi,

I am a married man for last 10 years. I had first intercourse only after marriage. Since then, within 15-30 seconds of inserting penis in vagina I get ejaculation and lose erection. As a result my married life is getting affected, since I could not satisfy my wife. I engage in sex only once in a week.

2)Recently, I lose erection if I engage on foreplay for about 15 -20 minutes.

Could you please let me know how to overcome the above defectives( I am willing to try all means to get rid of this problems). Thank you in advance.

It sounds as though you might need expert help from both a urologist and a mental health professional. There are some medications used for premature ejaculation: serotonin uptake inhibitors, for example. These pharmaceuticals are principally antidepressant medications; delaying ejaculation is one of their side effects. You will have to visit your doctor for a prescription because the medications can be used only with a doctor’s permission.
