My sexual endurance is a problem and I think my penis is desensitized- what should I do ?

Posted , 2 users are following.

I have no problem getting aroused - I simply don't seem to get enough physical pleasure from sex to bring to my orgasm.

I am on antidepressants but even when off them this problem persists.

Are there steps to take and/or treatement to pursue?

    Some questions:

    How old are you, and how does your physical pleasure now compare to when you were younger?

    Can you get to orgasm only with difficulty, or not at all?  (both by sex and masturbation)

    Have you ever been able to get to orgasm easily?

    Which anti-depressants have you been on, what dosage, and what's the longest time you've been off them?

    Are you circumcised?

      Athletic - in shape.

      I am circumcised.

      When I was younger I did.

      I'm much more able to get to orgasm through masturbation than sex.

      Since you're so young, the anti-depressants seem to be the most likely cause.  The side-effects can last several months after you stop taking them.  In your position, I'd talk to your doctor and ask if there's something else you can try.
