Hello all. This is too good a thread to let it stop - and I just read it all in one sitting.
There have been some amazingly positive posts here and it’s tribute to that part of us men that just will not accept the status quo and godammit we will find a solution. I know that I’ve had a few times when I am the stud lasting as long as I want and with nothing else changing then it must have been my mental state. I’m also sure that there have been some times I’ve been in a great mental place and bang one minute man is in the house.
Most recently I tried some hypnotherapy and in one session we split out the one minute man side of me to see why he might want to spoil the party. We also tried to desensitize my penis with visualisation. I had to stop this as I just couldn’t afford to keep going but think I will try to get in the habit of imagining myself having sex with my gf but with a numb/much less sensitive penis. If I get into a very relaxed state before maybe while lying in bed in the morning (I know I’m lucky to have that time) then at the least I’ll get some good relaxation time.
SSRIs did delay me in the past but they were too heavy duty for me as a person. I even got so frustrated this summer that I got some more (online) but on the two occasions I took even a half they made me feel too weird and I lost sleep that I didn’t want to go through with the two weeks until they kicked in or even take them at all. When I did take them years ago a couple of times I stopped the rutting (two different people) because they said: “Are you going to come?”
It’s just so frustrating eh but when I think that on those times I did keep going there is enough to make me think I can get that control again. Jeez, we’re seeing some amazing things from people - surely feeling great about sex more of the time must be within all of us. I don’t want to come across all head in the clouds but I am one of those people that feel we humans are incredible.
So, how are some of you guys who have posted before getting on now? It does seem that different things are working for different people. Some of us wouldn’t try SSRIs ever again but we are all different. I want it as natural as possible and I know my mind is incredible. I just wish it to be on my side a bit more!
