###Human: Which fast-acting medicine can be taken for premature ejaculation before sex? ###Assistant: Hi. I understand your problem. Premature ejaculation is a common condition among many males even though they do not really seek advice. First of all please note that there is no such medication proven to correct it 100 % or to act quickly. Non-Drug therapy including behavioral techniques helps to overcome it in 90 % of cases. One such method is stop-start technique. In which you or preferably your partner should stimulate your genital organ and when you feel like ejaculating, stimulation should be stopped for about 30 seconds or the till the passing feeling disappears. This should be done on regular basis before sex. Another method is the Squeeze Technique. It works the same way as the start and stop method. But, when you feel like you are reaching ejaculation, you or your partner squeeze the head of your penis until you lose the erection. Repeat this a few times before ejaculating. Some males find that if they think of something else during sex they can last longer. Drugs including Dapoxetine blocks serotonin levels in the brain and known to be beneficial in some patients as you have already experienced. But these drugs have many troublesome side effects with long-term use like gastric disturbances, headaches, and poor sleep. There are common modifiable reasons for this problem. Psychological stress, performance anxiety about sex, depression, and relationship problems with the partner can result in this. Therefore try to identify any underlying cause for that. May I know whether you have multiple partners or a single? If you have multiple do you experience the same problem with all partners? Since you are otherwise healthy please be reassured that you do not have any significant problems with your sexual functions. This issue is fairly common in the society. If you are still experiencing after trying above behavioral techniques you may consult a consultant psychiatrist. But before that try to identify any psychological disturbances and try those behavioral techniques as drugs play a little role and cause unwanted side effects in the long run.
