St. John's Wort helping my prem ejac (I think)

I’ve been taking St. Johns Wort recently.

The past year or so has been pretty difficult for me emotionally, and the past couple of months have been particularly tough.

As some of you know, I dallied with anti-depressants for a very short while, but I got a bit scared and stopped taking them.

One thing was for sure: even over just the first couple of days taking them, they made a big impact on my tendency to premature ejaculation.

So, what with me going through a tough time, and my discovery that SSRI’s helped my PE, it seemed like the sensible thing to do, to try a milder and more natural way to boost serotonin. I heard St. John’s Wort was good so…

Been taking it a couple of weeks now. Not sure how much it’s helping my emotional state. My life is such a mess, it’s difficult to tell.

I can say that it seems to have helped with the prem ejac. Today I was jerking off, and could see that it was going to be real work to make myself cum. I was pounding that monkey for a good while.

Thing was, when I came, it wasn’t very intense, and not much semen came out.

I think, with some edging, I could have built to a more intense orgasm.

What dosage are you taking?

This is very interesting !

Each tablet contains:

St. John’s Wort powder………………………………….315m g
Standardised St. John’s Wort extract………………….185mg
(0.3% Hypericin)

On the jar, it recomends taking two tablets a day with food. That’s what I’m doing.

Anybody else out there had experience with St. John’s Wort?

What is Hypericin?

A quick Google search revealed this..

So it must be the amount of ‘good stuff’ in the brand you are taking.

Keep us updated as to the progress you are having with St. John’s Wort and Premature Ejaculation. I am going to get some this weekend and try it for a while as I am mildly depressed and could benefit from it in other ways.

I wonder if depression plays a role in Premature Ejaculation ?

I started taking the SJW last week and I already am noticing a considerable delay in ejaculation. I also feel better all around. I wonder if this will last as long as I keep taking it or if it will wear off.

Anyways, thanks for the tip Zigga ! (My wife and her multiple orgasms are also thanking you (unknowingly of course))

If you want to know I got some info from a mental health forum a while ago, at Walmart they have these candies, it ups your B12 levels or something and supposedly makes you feel good.

Yep, I tried St. John’s Wort once. Made me feel all happy ‘n’ shit.

Didn’t like it one bit.

How did you come up with this Zigg? Did you read about it on the web?

Very interesting indeed. I would like to get to the point to where I had a bit of a hard time cumming. That would be very cool.

Glad it seems to be helping Zigg, keep us posted.

Please, keep us posted on your use of St.John’s Wort. I hope that other things are not interfering with your experience with St.John’s; otherwise you wouldn’t know how to distinguish the effects.

By the way, have you ever considered Sam-e? I have been hearing about it.

I read that St. John’s Wort was supposed to do something similar to SSRI drugs. So I thought I’d give it a go, seeing as my brief foray into SSRI’s seemed to help with prem ejac (when masturbating).

I still haven’t had a chance to see if it helps during sex as I haven’t been getting any lately.

Iamaru: Thanks man, I’ll keep you all updated.

Cheetah: What’s this Sam-e then?

I have not experimented with Sam-e, but it is favored more than St.John’s Wort.

Maybe you have heard about a new drug that is waiting for FDA approval. It is named Dapoxetine, and regarded as going to be a blockbuster drug similar to Viagra. This drug might work similar but more effective than other antidepressants for ejaculation control.

There are some other brands sold like Deferol. It has 5-HTP in it, and this also tries to change the serotonin levels. It has 12.5mg of 5-HTP in a capsule, and vitamins such as B6 and etc…

I have to say that you seem to be on the right track to take control of your ejaculation; but the important thing is choosing something that has the least side-effect.

Thanks. I think I am. A combination of something gentle like St. Johns Wort, or maybe the 5-htp supplements (I wonder if you can take that in conjunction with St. Johns Wort), and working on relaxation, and techniques for control during sex.

Also, yes, I want to steer well clear of anything that has possible side effects. From what I’ve heard Dapoxetine seems to function like an SSRI, and I imagine it’s quite a strong drug.

Hey Zigg,

I sent Mrs V down to get me some St John’s Wort. I am going to try a couple of bottles to see how it works for me. One question, how many times a day have you taken it? It says on the bottle to take it 3 times a day. Also, do you think will I be able to see a difference in about a week?

By the way Zigg, have you tried to dry jelq yet? I have been doing it for some time now and I have to say that it has helped quite a bit in delaying my ejac. I can fuck her until she comes from me just fucking her now. I couldn’t do that before. But I want to be able to fuck like a racehorse for about 1/2 hour and not blow my wad until I am ready. I don’t know if that is possible for me but I can only dream about it. A lot of times she has to just lay there and not move and let me do the fucking because if she did move much “Popp goes the weasel”.

Some folks on this forum worry about hurting or damaging nerve endings in their cocks. Heck, I wouldn’t mind damaging a few and loosing a bit of feeling in my erect dick. It just feels TOO good when we fuck. Mrs V can literally squeeze my dong with her snatch until it hurts! She has what they call a snapper. I have told her with those boobs and that snatch she could be quite a professional! Heh Heh Heh.

SAM-e is way more expensive, has to be refrigerated, and helps with arthritis too. I knocked that off and switched to 5-HTP the precursor to Serotonin itself. Way better than Tryptophan too.

I was coming off Zoloft for my ass problem, anxiety turns my gut to Monsoon season, and started with all this. I took all the OTC stuff and my ass problem went away, but I slept 14 hours a day and was too calm. Most likely the first step of serotonin syndrome.

St John’s Wort acts like a crappy version of an SSRI and damns up the sewer grates that suck away the serotonin. 5-HTP adds more serotonin by itself. If I remember correctly, you can’t eat yogurt with the St John’s wort any time close before or after.
