2. Stop-start method
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) Most commonly used drugs
1. Antidepressants
2. Paxil (paroxetine)
3. Priligy
4. Topical anesthetics
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)- Antidepressants Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)- Paxil (Paroxetine)
- Most effective
- 6-week course increased time from 20 seconds to 2.5 minutes
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)- Priligy (Dapoxetine)
- Taken 1 to 2 hours before sexual encounter
- Efficacious and safe
- Range of potential side effects
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)- Topical Anesthetics Form of cream applied
to penis to reduce sensitivity
- Moderately effective in slowly ejaculation
- May also numb the vulva and vagina: impeding her ability to reach orgasm
Stop-Start Method Sex therapy technique that involves alternating between stimulating and
