Low Serotonin causes premature ejaculation?

unfortunately i am affected by premature ejaculation, and sometimes depending how aroused i am can blow in the first 20 seconds of intercourse. i dont know if i have ever lasted longer than 5 minutes. i've been reading up on it everywhere, but every article is contradicting the next. I happened to come across a site that said low serotonin is the cause of premature ejaculation, but they were also trying to sell a product which increases it. it also says that protein may inhibit serotonin production, i take protein shakes reularly with my bodybuilding program, could this be a real cause, or is it all just bs? Any tips on improving endurance?

That's bull. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that deals with emotional health. People with low serotonin levels will be more likely to be depressed or engage in obessive behaviors. It's a mood uplifter. Nothing to do with muscle control just socio-emotional functions. The only neurotransmitter in the brain that really handles muscle control is dopamine. Low dopamine levels can yield Parkinson's-like symptoms and is characteristic of Parkinson's disease patients.
I don't think that low serotonin levels can effect Premature Ejac., but low dopamine levels might becuase your muscles to fire randomly. Just realize that you'd be either depressed, tired or have muscle twitches if you had low levels of either of these.

My advice: do a lot of kegels and reverse kegels. It will build up the muscle in that region. Try edging out too.

i have recently figured out how to reverse kegel, and i do it just before i cum and i can hold it. but still blow a matter of minutes later. is edgeing when you reverse kegel just before you cum?

Many doctors prescribe SSRI's for premature ejaculation. Many who are on SSRI's experience this and may even become anorgasmic and not be able to ejaculate, it's one of the sides. I personally experienced this to a degree while taking Paxil, gave that shit up real quick. I take a lot of 5-HTP now and it helps.

OR... if you think you have a shot of getting laid, or planning on it, you can do what I've done in the past which is to jerk off, twice will definetly make sure you'll fuck like a rabbit for more than enought time. Only slight problem is, 1) getting it up the third time( in this case i've purchase over the counter "boner pills" at the gas station") and 2) being able to bust the 3rd time around can take a while. But for some people who have Penis Enlargement, we really don't care, what ever we gotta do, just so we can "fuck" like normal human beings. This plan is pretty much fool proof, and all you gotta do is plan an hour or so do "drain the well" 1-2X's... happy fucking!

trojan extended pleasure condoms
durex performax condoms

both have mild numbing fluid in the tip that allow you to last longer.

I started with these and really "practiced" reverse kegeling as well as just breathing.. ( long exhales, because if you actually take note of yourself..you'll find yourself so excited and what not your constant inhaling and kegeling, rather than the opposite. I've also found that the trojan twisted pleasure condoms have or at least feel like thicker rubber (no fluid) and they help

And I have this problem, but reverse... I can,t cum even after 3 hours. My best ime was 1h30 dude. Now gf is asking herself if she's exciting enough or sumthing, (which she is plenty)

There,s a big part of mental work to do here I think for both of us. I might be preocupied by the performance issue, and you are not preocupied enough?

Well hopefully we can sort this out.

Guys,

Please trust me on this one, premature ejaculation is mostly in your MIND!

You're going into it worried about cumming so of course you're probably going to do it. Personally I TRY my hardest to cum as soon as possible and because of this it takes me forever to do it. I know it may not make sense but it works for me.

When I start to think I'm going to cum to fast of course I do. Think about it...

Just don't WORRY about cumming and enjoy the person with you, put yourself in a different state of mind where cumming isn't the "end all" of the act.

Hopefully this helps (it worked for me!)

Mike

well I might try too much because I sometimes can't cum at all even if I keep a 100% erection for hours :|

It is true actually. Serotonin is directly linked to ejaculation. It's one of the chemicals to uplift mood, and with low or unstable levels it can cause premature ejaculation because of sudden change in moods. It is the reason SSRI's work when prescribed as a treatment. If you are having problems, try some out for a while, because most likely it was a one off cause, but due to the uncertainty and stress every time there after becomes a mind over matter, and the stress levels affect ur serotonin levels again. I had a problem I just posted about in another thread, 50mg of zoloft a day and I was back into the 30 minute category from the 15-45 second zone I had fallen into with a new girlfriend. In general the stabalised serotonin levels caused by those type of anti-depressants relaxes most of the body and reduces stress levels. I've goto say also, I've never had sex as good as when I was on it. You can actually take it all in without fear of blowing ur load. Enjoy every minute, and then actually have to really get into it to be able to get off.

See aussieuncut's, goldmember's and jonnieheim's testimony on SSRI effect on sexual stamina:

The stuff they were probably selling on the site Castor found was probably 5-HTP cloaked as their own product. You can buy 5-HTP at health food stores and maybe at GNC and the like.

Do you have take zoloft everyday or can it be taken before sexual activity?

When I was on citalopram 20mg, I noticed that I had fantastic stamina. But then again, my erections sucked. I've fallen down in depression hell once again. Waiting for an appointment with a counselor.. Doctor wanted to prescribe me anti-depressives again, but I want to discuss it first with my counselor. Maybe CBT can help me.

Anyway, the day I quit citalopram my erections came back much harder.. so it was all in my head? Or do SSRIs have that 'instant effect' och erections etc?

Bump.
I 2nd this. Zoloft absolutely makes me last longer in bed.
Since I started taking zoloft again, I can go 30 min, easily. If I go 2 or 3 rounds with my girl, sometimes I get tired and worn out before I can cum, but I don't lose my erection.
A side effect of the drug is " sexual side effects", but the side effect is difficulty ejaculating, no problems getting errect and keeping it, and no prob with libido.
That being said, I take the drug for depression, from post- traumatic stress disorder. It works great to treat my depression and anxiety. It takes about 2 weeks for your body to adjust to the drugs presence, so this ain't something you can take every once in a while when you're gonna get laid. It don't work like that, and during the first week or 2, I was real dopey.
So yea, if you don't suffer from depression, you probably shouldn't take it, but if you feel you do suffer from depression, and you cum too fast, then this drug can change your life for the better in more ways than one.

premature ejaculation can be caused because of ED or due to hormonal imbalance,you need to see a doctor or you can use Viagra for treatment if you think you are suffering from ED problem.

5 htp works great for me. I agree with the serotonin theory. Anytime I take anything that will relax me and/or increase serotonin, I can last 5x as long. I've been taking 100mg of 5 htp once a day for a couple months now and I feel great and can last forever and with great erection quality the whole time.
At first, Regular 5htp messed up my stomach, diarrhea and gas is a common side effect. So try the Enteric Coated ones, they won't digest in your stomach, they go further into your intestine before they break down and produce serotonin. The Enteric coated ones have no bad side effects for me.

SSRI are dangerous stuff with a list of very well known side-effects. Serotonin is MAJOR player in sexual response. If you need it for curing depression you need it. But i would think twice to introduce this stuff into your brain unless you really suffer from illness. I can say for myself that i have serious Penis Enlargement but SSRI are the last thing i would try. From what i read on several forums many people (not everybody) have a guaranteed stamina increase on SSRI up to the point of delayed ejaculation in rare cases. On the other hand when you google SSRI side-effects you will find out that these "little-helpers" may also fuck you up real bad. Here is for examples a list from wikipedia called "Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction" - symptoms often long-term that SSRi might cause after its been discontinued. Happy reading !


- Decreased libido
- Impotence or reduced vaginal lubrication
- Difficulty initiating or maintaining an erection or becoming aroused
- Persistent sexual arousal syndrome despite absence of desire
- Muted, delayed or absent orgasm (anorgasmia)
- Reduced or no experience of pleasure during orgasm (ejaculatory anhedonia)
- Premature ejaculation
- Weakened penile, vaginal or clitoral sensitivity
- Genital anesthesia
- Loss or decreased response to sexual stimuli

SO YES SSRI IS WEL KNOWN TO "CURE" PREMATURE EJACULATION ONCE YOU ARE ON THEM, BUT THE PAY-OFF MIGHT BE RUINING YOUR SEX LIFE FOREVER, BECOMING A SEX ZOMBIE

I noticed when my dosage of SSRI meds was higher I could last longer, and when it was reduced, my endurance went with it

So yeah, it has an effect from my own personal experiences, but you can work on it with sexual endurance training using kegels, edging aka balooning, and even a fleshlight to aid the sessions.

After I read this I had to agree. Most SSRI medications make it difficult to have an orgasm. I have been on them for more than 20 years and I have a lot of experience of many different kinds, but in almost every case they gave me longevity not premature ejaculation.
