Priligy - Coming to Men's Assistance

Posted: Wednesday, 10 November, 2010 | Categories: Premature Ejaculation

Many movies about American teenagers get considerable mileage out of the subject of premature ejaculation. The nerd who spends his whole life trying to get a girl and then ejaculates within seconds of getting her (often before he has removed his underwear) is a stock comic situation.
For men suffering from premature ejaculation (or PE as it is also known) the condition is, however, no laughing matter.

A study of men suffering with PE found that they had “significantly worse sexual lives” than men who didn’t suffer from PE. It also found that these men had “little interest in sex” and worry more about their relationships and their ability to satisfy their sexual partners.
For many years it was thought that PE was a psychological condition more than a physical one - the same was also thought of erectile dysfunction. Although there is sometimes a psychological aspect to these conditions, however, doctors now realise that both are far more to do with a man’s physiology.

The good news is that there is now help at hand in the form a new drug called Priligy. The pill is taken between one and three hours before sex and has shown to be well tolerated in most men. It is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor and has been approved for prescription in certain EU countries.
