Ejaculation on Lexapro

by Jimm09, Oct 06, 2008 02:03PM

Hi

I have been on Lexapro for almost a year now. I had no sexual problems before but I am in the mist of a divorce and I have met some one and I can not achieve an orgasm. She is thinking this may be due to Lexapro.

Can you shed ony light on this?
Thanks

Oh yea Lexapro can absolutly cause this kind of difficulty with Ejaculating for us men.

In other words, "you can easily get the submarine up to periscope depth, but can't fire off a torpeedo?"

Is that what you mean? If so then yes, it's common. My wife acually kind of liked that side effect as I could keep going forever. For me it was at times frustrating.

I used the "save it up method." You know what I mean, if you don't ejaculate as often, as in every single time you have sex. Then When you do it's worth it.

Guess that's about the best advice I can give on that one.
