How do premature ejaculation pills work?

What is Premature Ejaculation?

Early ejaculation means that, as a man, you orgasm faster than you want, often within seconds or minutes of penetration.

Perhaps you are ashamed of this and feel like you are alone. But really, you're in good company. Estimates vary, but about 30 to 75 percent of us are affected.

And: there is something to do about it. Fill this online questionnaire in to find out which treatment is best for you, so you can enjoy relaxed intimacy again without worrying about timing.

Good to know: Premature ejaculation is often confused with erectile dysfunction. These are different disorders that can occur separately and at the same time.

On average, how long does a man last?

What many men are curious about: how fast does the average man actually finish? In 2016, Dr. Brendan Zietsch of the University of Queensland asked 500 heterosexual couples to time their sex life with a stopwatch for four weeks. The results varied widely: the longest session lasted 44 minutes, while the shortest was only 33 seconds. On average, there was an orgasm 5.4 minutes after penetration [4]. However, research results vary, so see this more as a rough estimate.

In short: In premature ejaculation, the man ejaculates faster than desired, often within seconds or minutes of penetration. There are pills that can help you delay ejaculation.

What are Premature Ejaculation Pills?

Do you want to delay ejaculation longer? Premature ejaculation medication can help you with this. There's absolutely no need to be ashamed to consider this. Not only can it improve your sexual performance, but it can also strengthen your relationship with your partner and boost your confidence. There's nothing wrong with that!

This medication is often developed for other conditions, for example to treat erectile dysfunction, and is prescribed off-label for premature ejaculation.

Premature ejaculation pills generally fall into one of these two categories:

• Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)
• Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors (PDE5 Inhibitors)

1. SSRIs: antidepressants that delay ejaculation

SSRIs, such as paroxetine, sertraline, and dapoxetine (Priligy), were originally developed to treat depression and anxiety disorders. A common side effect of these medications is that they delay ejaculation.

‍Operation: SSRIs increase serotonin levels in your brain. This helps control sexual reflexes, such as orgasm. Commonly used SSRIs for premature ejaculation:

• Dapoxetine (Priligy)
• Sertraline (Zoloft®)
• Paroxetine
• Fluoxetine

2. PDE5 inhibitors: drugs for erectile dysfunction

PDE5 inhibitors, such as sildenafil (Viagra®) and tadalafil (Cialis®), are usually prescribed for erectile dysfunction, but can also help with ejaculation too quickly. They are increasingly seen as a new drug against premature ejaculation. The pills can thus offer a double benefit by improving both erection and ejaculation control.

‍Operation: these medications improve blood flow to the genitals and can also prolong the time to ejaculation, helping to get and maintain a firm erection.Commonly used PDE5 inhibitors:

• Sildenafil (Viagra®).
• Tadalafil (Cialis®).
• Vardenafil (Levitra®).
• Avanafil (Stendra®).

You can this online questionnaire fill in and then speak to a healthcare provider by phone to find out which treatment is appropriate.

In short: Medications can help delay ejaculation. SSRIs increase serotonin levels and improve orgasm control, while PDE5 inhibitors both support erection and help prolong ejaculation. Consult with a doctor for appropriate treatment.

How well do pills work against ejaculation too fast?

Results may vary from person to person, but effectiveness studies show that SSRIs and PDE5 inhibitors can have positive effects.

For example, research showed that sertraline significantly increased the intravaginal ejaculation latency period (IELT) [5.6]. At a dose of 25 mg per day, the IELT increased from 1 minute to 7.6 minutes. At 50 mg per day, it increased to 13.1 minutes and at 100 mg per day, the IELT reached 16.4 minutes.

Another study found that sildenafil was the most effective treatment for premature ejaculation, with better results than both paroxetine and the “squeeze” technique.

Because the effects vary from person to person, it is important to work with a licensed healthcare provider to determine the right approach.

In short: Pills such as SSRIs and PDE5 inhibitors may be effective in extending the intravaginal ejaculation latency period (IELT). Clinical studies showed significant improvements.

Side effects of premature ejaculation pills

As with any medication, side effects can occur. Here are the most common side effects of premature ejaculation pills:

• Nausea
  You may feel sick, especially if you are just taking the medication. Take the pills with food to reduce nausea.
• Dizziness and headache
  The medications may cause dizziness and headache. Avoid activities such as driving until you know how your body reacts.
• Dry mouth
  Dry mouth is a common complaint. Drink water regularly and avoid products that dehydrate you, such as alcohol.
• Sleep problems
  Some users experience insomnia or a disturbed sleep pattern. These symptoms usually disappear as soon as your body gets used to the medicine. Try a soothing evening routine and avoid stimulants like caffeine.
• Changes in libido
  Some users report decreased libido. This may be temporary and often disappears with regular use of the drug. Discuss ongoing issues with your doctor for possible treatment adjustments.
• Digestive problems
  Upset stomach, diarrhea, or constipation may occur. Eat easily digestible meals and drink enough water to reduce these symptoms. In many cases, the symptoms disappear on their own over time.
• Heart palpitations and blood pressure changes
  In rare cases, the drug may cause an increased heart rate or fluctuations in blood pressure.

When to seek medical attention

Although side effects are often mild and go away on their own, it is important to contact a doctor if you have serious symptoms such as:

• Severe dizziness or fainting
• Persistent or worsening heart palpitations
• Rash, itching, or other allergic reactions

‍In short: Side effects of premature ejaculation pills are usually mild, such as nausea, headache, dry mouth, or trouble sleeping, and often disappear on their own. Seek medical attention for serious symptoms such as severe dizziness, heart palpitations, or allergic reactions.

Warning: Watch out for unreliable pills

If you're looking for a cure for premature ejaculation, you'll find a proliferation of pills online. Be careful with this. Many products that promise quick fixes may contain hidden and potentially harmful ingredients that are bad for your health.

Dangers of unreliable pills:

• Uncontrolled ingredients: pills sold without a prescription may contain substances whose safety is not guaranteed. These can range from heavy metals to illegal pharmaceutical agents that can cause serious side effects.
• No scientific evidence: products that claim to treat premature ejaculation directly, without supporting clinical research, are often inefficient or even harmful.
• Wrong doses: some pills contain active substances, such as dapoxetine or sildenafil, but in unsafe or incorrect doses. This can lead to serious side effects, including heart palpitations, dizziness, or even dangerous interactions with other medications.

Here's how to find a safe solution for premature ejaculation:

• Consult a qualified healthcare provider
• Stick to the prescribed dosage
• Do not combine medication with alcohol and narcotics
• Buy medicines only from authorized pharmacies or reliable suppliers

In short: Watch out for potentially harmful pills. Consult a healthcare provider and only purchase from authorized pharmacies for safe treatment.

Other treatments against premature ejaculation

What to do about premature ejaculation without medication? If you'd rather not take pills, there are other treatment options that help you not orgasm too quickly. Acupuncture for premature ejaculation, for example, is increasingly being mentioned as a treatment method.

Alternative treatments for premature ejaculation include:

• Pelvic floor exercises
• psychotherapy
• Sexological therapy
• Behavioral techniques
• Herbal remedies
• Lifestyle changes (such as excessive alcohol consumption and avoiding smoking)
• Physiotherapy for the pelvic floor
• Acupuncture

In short: If you prefer not to take medication, you can try alternative treatment methods such as acupuncture and pelvic floor exercises.
