I would just like all you guys to know that one 5-HTP pill from the health food shop just had pretty much the same effect on me as MDMA above, but without the high obviously.
This is a pretty big advert for serotonin being crucial to the process, certainly in my case, and with my past of recreational drug use, that could well have been the cause if my problems in the first place. The more I think about this, the more likely it seems, as my sexual response was fine when I was younger, then gradually declined over years, years where I indulged in certain recreational drugs.
Yes, exercises help, and yes, the self awareness helps immensely. It all adds up to making you a better, more self aware lover, but this year has been an uphill struggle for me, and this is breakthrough stuff, of the "oh THAT's what I needed to do" variety.
I can't speak for anyone else with authority, especially IF my PE was caused by my childhood habits, but it's such a dramatic effect, and dramatically what SHOULD be happening as far as I can tell, so any of you guys reading with this problem now, get down the health food store, get yourself some 5-HTP or other Tryptophan derivative I guess, and give this a try. I can't promise a miracle cure, and in my experience so far it takes a half day to have the desired effect, but if your PE is caused by the same reasons as mine, it just might be.
Let me know if it works for you.
