I experienced inhibited ejaculation when I was on an antidepressant when I was in college. It was actually a net positive thing for me because before that I struggled with premature ejaculation. So I was able to experience prolonged intercourse for the first time and that boosted my self esteem. I was honest with my partners about why I wasn't cumming so they wouldn't think it was a reflection on them. In order to get release, I was able to ejaculate with really vigorous masturbation using lube, but it would take a while. If your husband is able to cum with extended vigorous masturbation (which necessitates lube) he might also be able to cum if you do the stroking for him. Whatever the case I hope the medication is helping him otherwise.
Thank you
Thank you for MHO!
I'd suggest you get back to the doctor and tell them that this is emergent as it's affecting the quality of your relationship. Ask for an earlier appt.
We go through the VA it takes time to get in they tell you if it’s emergent go to the er
After I hit send, I worried about that. How much is the medication helping him?
It helps to much to stop without alternative

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!I had been with a guy in that exact situation. He would get so close and he’d WANT to cum but he just couldn’t.
Unfortunately the only thing that worked was changing his Rx.
Good luck - it was frustrating for the both of us as the best part is the cum.
Thank you for that well see his dr in January but see if we can get in sooner
Somewhere else
He was lucky that there are 10 doctors at his Family Doctor’s. Therefore they all have access to his fill and we’re able to get him seen the next day.
Yes I had that situation - Until you see the doctor, do not make ejaculation a priority in any sexual interaction - Make it about you , your orgasm - He can get pleasure out of pleasuring you and also he can have a good time with out ejaculation, you can please him in all the ways you use to just without having the end goal of ejaculation set in stone.
To focus on the ejaculation can make what should be a pleasant activity very hard work.
Thank you I appreciate the honest advice. I don’t care as long as he’s happy ya know
When I edge I can delay my ejaculation up to an hour. Though that is my choice & it feels so good when I cum!
Once you are finished.. you can finish him off through a handjob or blowjob.. takes time but worth the effort to see him ejaculate. Just as an interim solution.
We’ve tried it takes hours now to the pit he doesn’t want to continue. Even he can't jack off to ejaculate with out taking hours
Thats too tough on him. and you too.. then i hope he gets an appointment sooner. So is it that you haven't seen him cumming from when this problem started?
It’s not that I haven’t seen it, it’s just not happening sometimes it takes hours others it doesn’t happen so it gets to him and he feels less like a man and I feel horrible for him because that’s so far from how I see it
I was on Zoloft as a young teen and couldnt nut to save my life so bad but I've also been on Celexa and could nut just fine he just needs to try a different one or go holistic like i do now i take powdered magnesium when i get anxious brand name is “Calm” been a life saver for me
Thank you
If it is drug related, there isn't much you or your husband can do about it without changing the drug.
True thank you
Hi I suffer delayed since I was a teenager. I went to the doctor. Everything is okay. Sometimes women get upset that even after two hours of sex and oral stimulation I'm still erect. I hope your husband is well now
Treatment for delayed ejaculation depends on the cause. For instance, if SSRIs are the issue, an alternative drug may be prescribed.
If excessive alcohol or non-prescription drug use are factors, reducing or eliminating these may help. If there are other medical conditions, managing the primary condition, such as a neurological problem, may help resolve the delayed ejaculation.
Primary cases of delayed ejaculation may not be straightforward to treat. They often require the help of professional counselors such as psychologists, psychotherapists, psychosexual counselors, sex therapists, or couple's therapists.
Psychologists recognize that there is no single intervention that works for all patients and that the key to successful treatment is to identify the source of the problem and to use appropriate, targeted therapy to deal with the psychological factors that trigger or contribute to the problem.
Some medications may help improve the symptoms of delayed ejaculation, but none have yet been specifically approved to treat it.
Drugs with some reported benefits include:
Cyproheptadine (Periactin), an allergy medication
Amantadine (Symmetrel), a drug used to treat Parkinson's
Buspirone (Buspar), an anti-anxiety medication.
Hope it helps.

Yeah he doesn’t do drugs or drink it’s 100% the SSRI meds as it started about a week after he started on his new meds. I’ll ask the dr about these when we get in thank you
Does he get normal erection
Yes everything is normal except him ejaculating we’ve been together 7 years nothing has ever effected him till this medication
I have never heard about before but all i can to you if everything is fine in bed you guys should wait till you meet doctor and try to cheer him up
Yes it’s fairly common on these medications. Was just hoping to see if anyone had personal experience we’re fine but I know it bothers him so just figured I’d look into it
