About the time I get to 100% hard I’m ready to cum and I can’t hold back. Do you think the doubling of the lecithin is what is causing the quicker cum?
It is possible as Lecithin has phosphotidylcholine as an ingredient which stimulates acetylcholine production in the brain,Acetylcholine is stimulatory like dopamine and norepinephrine which can cause activation of pleasure and orgasm.Dopamine is notorious for this as anyone who has tried selegeline hydrochloride or cabergoline which are strong dopamine agonists will be familiar to this adverse event.
Drugs that increase inhibitory neurotransmission ie.serotonin and GABA will slightly down-regulate dopamine and cholinergic production both centerally and via peripheral tone.
Meds like benzodiazepines which stimulate GABA at the receptor level are used to relax as they’re minor tranquilizers but also down-regulate all stimulatory neurotransmitters.
Also dugs that prevent re-uptake of serotonin and cause accumulation at the synaptic cleft increase Serotonin synthesis and slightly down-regulate dopamine.The SSRI anti-depressants are infamous for delayed or inability to ejaculate as is clomipramine(strong specific SRI) which has strong serotonergic and anticholinergic properties)choice drug for pre-mature ejaculation.
Alcohol also temporarily increases serotonin then gradually decreases to lower then baseline after elimination.Hence euphoria and delayed ejacualtion accompanied at times with erection difficulties(serotonin).
So although I take 10-20 grams/day of granulated Lecitihin,I feel the exitatory properties within 30 minutes.This can give good energy and mental focus but can persist during sex and PE.
Have you tried taking in the morning?or if this persists you may have to reduce dose. Good luck Formula 1 :up:
