5-HTP and orgasm control

But that is one of my big problems, I can’t control my mind, it’s on the fritz. Instead of erotic thoughts (or any thoughts for that matter) all I get is static.

For me its situational. My wife and I used to have a gal/submissive live with us, hell, sex 5 times a day. Now just the ol lady and I,,no more exotic intermixing. Am I in the correct thread ???? lol

Webslave,

If you can get off the Paxil, do it.

I took a calcium channel blocker for a while and had no negative sexual effects from it. Norvasc probably isn’t effecting your drive.

Wow.

…

Wow.

I’m no longer on the paxil. Haven’t been for a good while. It was a life saver at the time tho’. A great drug if needed. I was going with a fantastic lady, and it killed sex for us. No erection at all, but I was on 40mg daily.

But you have the low sex drive problem, even without the Paxil? How old are you? Is it a relationship issue with your wife? Do you have the drive to think about other women?

Yes, old age is a major factor. Will be 53 shortly. No, the relationship with the wife is fine. At present, she’s over-worked, and I’m unemployed/depression is an issue probably. Not to mention the alcoholism! Will add further if you wish to pm me.

I just got my bottle of 5-HTP. The brand is Now. After hearing what mravg went thru I’m still not sure I want to use it but I’m going to take 100mg Vcap pill a day at night like the bottle says. Just wondering mravg were you taking Vcaps? I’m hoping it makes a difference.

This should be a good thing for me if I can handle stomach probs because I’d like to #1 Last longer, sleep better and I could also lose a few pounds. Hoping for a 3fer. :)

I have been taking 5-HTP recently…100 mg a day. No effect on delayed orgasm. If you want go with the Paxil - 5mg a day should help. This is what I have been taking a year ago and it worked(no reason to take more than 10 mg a day as quality of erection goes down).

I do not think you should take 5-HTP before bad…IMO it should be taken in the morning so the higher levels of serotonin help during the day. I used to take it this way and I had good mood and good sleep.

I tried the NOW brand as well. Note that I was taking 100mg twice per day (morning and night) before I noticed some effect on orgasm control.

Hey Webslave,

Are you able to start a new thread telling us how this happened and what it was like etc etc? That’d be fantastic, what a story. Thanks.
