Quick & Easy Es

Approximately 1/3 of the male population suffers from premature ejaculation (PE); which has now been defined as ejaculation that consistently occurs before two minutes of the inital penetration. There's now a drug for that (surprise, surprise). It's called dapoxetine. It's actually an anti-depressant but the affects the drug has on seratonin release (which seems to be linked to orgasm) can double or triple a man's bump 'n' grind time.

There are a number of ways to treat PE; some psychological, some physical. But if there's now a pharmaceutical treatment, will that wrap up the problem? Some experts say no. There's concern that a pill would be used as a quick fix, without concern for long-term methods to deal with PE.

If you suffer from PE, or you're intimate with someone who's a preemie, watch this space and read the story here, at Times Online.
