Priligy

[Hint23]

Has anyone’s partner taken this for premature ejaculation? Did they get it on prescription or buy it? Was it effective?

My partner broke down in tears last night because he feels like a failure. I have no issues with it because he is always attentive and makes sure I am satisfied every time, however if it is making him feel bad I would like to find a solution.

Thanks

Op,
I can't speak on Priligy, sorry - However, I don't know if you and your partner would consider using a condom, but there are a few on the market that have a numbing agent in them, to, er, slow things down.

I can report that they work very well!

I have used priligy or dapoxetine in the past. It works to a certain extent, but i found even at low levels, the headaches and insomnia were not always worth it.
Maybe try a delay spray like EXS sold at Lovehoney instead?

Try the Durex delay condoms. I don't know what the definiton of PE is - but in the past my DH could only manage 1 to 2 mins inside me before he ejaculated. I did not mind but he knows that I can climax if I have a rhythmic penetration going for 4 or 5 mins with a switched off vibrator. He bought the Durex delay condoms for a while and it really improved my experience. He is now older and can make it last for 5 mins without them - although we do still use normal condoms which he says helps delay a tiny bit. Worth a try for a £7 packet?

Excuse me, how did you solve it in the end?

Not sure about Priligy, my husband has not taken that but has been on Sertraline for about a year and can go for ages now. He initially went on for stress and anxiety but also could usually only last 1-2 minutes inside before his ejaculation. The doctor mentioned that Sertraline and SSRI's in general can have this side effect and it is quite helpful for some couples.

Most of the time he doesn't get to the point of his climax now but has made me finish a number of times by this point and I am more than satisfied.

I would 2nd this, even ordinary condoms reduce feel quite a lot, he can wear one for a while, then remove it if you want he to finish inside you

Yes, I've used it. About 2-3 years ago last time. I initially got Priligy following consultation with my GP and then several times through repeat prescription. I would recommend it if your partner is feeling desperate and, frankly, useless.
I was - although, as you, my partner reassured me that it was OK.

However, perhaps inevitably, there are some downsides. One is that you have to get the timing of taking the pill and intercourse just right. More or less than 15 mins and there's only limited effect. Another is that as the sensation in the penis is dulled, sex doesn't have quite the same intense and intimate magic.
A final one is that on a couple occasions I couldn’t come at all.

But, bottom line, I could go on for longer without coming - it works. And that was important to me, so I recommend it on that basic level. Perhaps only though as a temporary measure. By taking it, I lost most of the apprehension that was preoccupying me - and possibly exacerbating the problem. It got me to a place where I could relax again, enjoy sex and then find ways - like having the confidence to slow down whilst my partner used a vibe on her clit - of prolonging the pleasure of love making. I suppose it helped in the realisation that sex changes as you get older, it just isn't going to last as long when you're younger, but can still be fantastic.

Finally thought, my liberated GP recommended something that I suppose I knew but had forgotten about with all the angst: having a drink before having sex. For some reason, I’m sure there is a biological explanation, in moderation, a couple of glasses of wine, it does increases ejaculation control.
