My Brother, I feel for you big time and your suffering is great in this. I do not think we are ever given more than we can handle and when we can no longer handle it we look for help...You found it! Bi-Polar is a terrible disorder, one I suffered from for years. I can imagine what you have to deal with in that respect, but I hope you Love supersedes your patience with her. I would "gently" give the advice to try a different medication. Most SRI meds will cause lack of sex drive but there is one that does not, and the is Wellbutrin. The combination of Wellbutrin, Serequel, Klonopin and Lamictal saved my life! I have been in the hospital every year for over 14 years, the past two year I have not gone nor needed any type of help, the medication cocktail I gave you changed everything for me. So this is only a suggestion and one that may bring both of you closer together.
As far as ED goes, you are way too young for this to be a physical issue. It is most likely, as you stated, a mental issue. There are many ways to deal with this and I will post the ones we suggest that have helped many men beat this. Question, are you ever able to get a 100% hard erection in any situation? Let me know that while you look over these different methods of lasting longer and to gain a harder erection.
First to gain a harder erection a few things should be done. The best method to beat this is PE itself, when all methods of a good routine are employed erection quality is the first thing people notice. In a solid routine you would be practicing Kegels which are the best way to increase erection quality. I would also suggest investing in some Viagra to use in sexual situation, including masturbation. This will help you regain your confidence and it will also awaken your penis and give it some time to play
Also with Viagra you can practice edging which is a two fold exercise, it will increase erection quality and also help you last longer.
Here are some of the practices to help with premature ejaculation:
Becoming in touch with your orgasm
There is a very fine line between cuming and about to cum. making this distinction is the first step in having more staying power.
Identify your brink of orgasm
You will want to identify the fine line that separates cuming from about to cum. During this period pay special attention to what brings you almost to orgasm. What are your thoughts? How long does it take to get there? Keep Track of this information for future reference. The goal here is to paint a mental picture of your orgasm and identify just what brings you to this brink and what you can do to stop it.
Breathing to Reduce Excitement
Simply taking a deep breath at the brink of orgasm is a very effective way to reduce your excitement level and reset your orgasm. It does not work for everyone but it is worth trying.
Breathing to Reset Orgasm
When you feel that you are getting too close to orgasm, just completely stop and take a deep breath. Give yourself a minute or two to reset your mental orgasm. Once you feel that you have reset this mental orgasm continue with the confidence that the physical orgasm is far off. You will find with practice this process will give you longer and longer periods of staying power. Eventually this mental reset will happen automatically with no pause.
The Squeeze Techniques
When you feel close to your orgasm completely stop, pull out, take a deep breath and apply one of these two squeezing methods. One method usually works better for men than the other so try them both.
BASE SQUEEZE
at the brink of orgasm stop, take a deep breath. Using the OK grip squeeze the base of your penis and squeeze until the urge has faded.
UP SQUEEZE
at the brink of orgasm stop, take a deep breath. Using the forefinger and thumb squeeze the top and bottom of your penis just below the glans until the urge to orgasm has faded.
DLD Push
The DLD Push is a technique to prolong orgasm and remain erect after orgasm. This method involved a hard reverse kegel right at the brink of orgasm. It takes some practice but once it is mastered 4-5 orgasms are possible.
Reverse Psychology
A great technique that seems to work very well for me is the Reverse Psychology method. Previously to having sex I convince myself that I am going to have problems ejaculation.
I hope this has helped you and if there is any questions or concerns please just ask!
