Question:

Dear Dr. Lin,

I have recently started dating a man (two months ago) who has been a great friend for many years. When we first started dating, he was taking the antidepressant Paxil to treat anxiety but has quit taking it as the anxiety has gone away since we have been together. Because of the Paxil, when we first started having sex, he could go for a long time without orgasm. But in the last few weeks since he quit taking Paxil, he comes almost immediately upon penetration. I have been reading a lot about anal breathing techniques and PC muscles, but might the Paxil have something to do with it? Has a balance in his brain been disturbed? What do you suggest? I am very interested to know what you have to say, as he has grown frustrated and said last night he no longer enjoys sex, because he knows I am not satisfied and cannot control his orgasm. Please help! We are both in our mid-20's.

Thanks!

Answer:

It makes sense that your boyfriend could last a long time without orgasm when he was taking Paxil. Antidepressants actually make orgasms difficult or impossible -- which I'll discuss in a moment -- and are actually prescribed for premature ejaculation. In all likelihood, your boyfriend's sexual function would have shut down completely if he stayed on antidepressants. Now that he's off the medication, however, he has resumed normal semen production, but his serotonin nervous system is now too weak to control his prostate ejaculation function.

Antidepressants are used in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and premature ejaculation problems. SSRIs increase the level of the neurotransmitter serotonin by inhibiting its reuptake into the presynaptic cell, increasing the level of serotonin available to bind to the postsynaptic receptor.

SSRIs can destroy your sexual function through its disabling of the pituitary and liver function. SSRI anti-depression drugs cause chronic excessive prolactin production, leading to a pituitary functional disorder called HyperProlactimia. Simply put, you cannot achieve orgasm or produce semen with a high level of prolactin in your bloodstream and with a blockage of parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves. Excessive prolactin in the bloodstream also reduces testosterone and DHT release from the testicles and ovaries, resulting in bone and muscle weakness, reduced sexual function and responsiveness, and reduced seminal production.

SSRIs block the brain's dopamine nervous function in the hypothalamus-pituitary axis responsible for the release of oxytocin -- a hormone that promotes emotional well-being and orgasm. SSRIs also interfere with production of other neurotransmitters and hormones by overloading the liver P45 detoxification system, and they block the spinal nervous transmission in the synapses with a flooding of serotonin due to its reuptake inhibition action. In addition, SSRIs alternate the gene expression of the dopamine D2 receptors, acetylcholine receptors, and 5-HT (serotonin) 2C receptors. Therefore, they disable erectile nervous function in the penis, clitoris and G-spot and inhibit seminal production and vaginal lubrication. They also de-sensitize the nerves in the penis, prostate, seminal vesicles, clitoris, G-spot, vagina, cervix and uterus, making orgasm difficult or impossible.

SSRIs inhibit the re-uptake of serotonin in the nervous synapse and actually decrease the serotonin synthesis in the nervous terminals due to their destruction effects on the liver P45 detoxification system. As a result, taking SSRIs may reduce the serotonin nervous action on the neuromuscular ending receptors in the guts, bladder, urethra, prostate and anus, leading to incontinence.

For proper maintenance of your brain and nervous system, he should take ViaPal-HGH-P, 5-HTP, ArginOx and fish oil (1000 mg 3 times a day) for about 6 months. He can boost his sexual response by chewing Moodmax and DopaFibra (or ViaGrowth-IV) with orange juice, 30-60 minutes before sex. These products contain concentrated nutrients for brain/nervous function and high octane fuel for dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, GABA, oxytocinergic and NOergic nervous systems.
