I’ve gone from PE to DE, it really sucks. Still haven’t totally figured out why or how.
Even before I was on TRT, I had the same problems I’ve described above and DE. Didn’t matter which girl I was with. I remember sitting on my GFs couch in high school and her blowing me forever and asking when I’d be done. It’s awful.
Yeah, a lot of guys don’t understand. “oh, you can last forever, that must be awesome”. Not so much. And on top of it all, it makes girls feel like shit when they can’t make it happen
Thousand percent. I can’t tell you how many times my wife has cried over this thinking it’s her fault or I’m not attracted to her. I wish she could live in my body and experience these feelings so she doesn’t think I’m lying. It sucks.
My urologist thought elevated prolactin was causing this for me. I’ve always tested at the top of the range but never over. He gave me Caber to knock it down… But I didn’t like what I read about it, but I took it once out of desperation and I felt like shit. Exhausted for 3 days from it.
I kinda gave up. As long as my boner works, TRT is helping to solve my original issue.
I’ve dealt with both PE and DE. Personally I’d take DE any day over PE. Nothing worse than laying a hot one and finishing before it even gets going!
I’ve also experienced the super sensitive tip mentioned. That made sex really quick and no good. It was so sensitive it felt like I’d finish just putting it in. And cumming felt kind of like pissing… Thank god that passed! But I’d love to learn what imbalance or biological influence causes it.
Well I guess there is one thing worse, ED. That one sucks.

I take a drug that inadvertently causes DE. I can last hour(s) when on it but can finish in minutes without it. I think DE is neurotransmitter related more than anything else.
Some reading on the topic. Basically says lower tsh, lower prolactin = PE. Higher tsh, higher prolactin = DE. Not 100%, but there is some correlation.
My prolactin is a little over the top of the normal range Tsh was almost 3 (though it went down on my last test)

Pretty sure I’ve taken the same and even then didn’t have DE issues. When I stopped it was an insane level of PE though. Oh to be young again.
Interesting thoughts on TSH and prolactin. I did just start thyroid 7 months ago, my TSH is down to .90, but I still have DE.
@dextermorgan, I took 3mg of L-tyrosine for about 100 days to help with dopamine, but there was nothing noticeable from taking it and now where I’m not.
I’d love to get dopamine tested if that were possible.
@bcostigan41
I think you can (I remember a guy posting his dopamine labs about a year ago) but not sure how worth a shit they actually are. The meds I take are a tad bit stronger than L-tyrosine lol.
Happy birthday by the way! I’m guessing that cake emoji next to your name means birthday or you’re eating something you shouldn’t be
I take a drug that helps without too. All my life I was way too fast. That drug changed that and made me a machine in the bed but at a huge price. Addiction. Which really sucked though it was ALMOST worth it. I haven’t taken it in awhile. I wish there was a non addictive alternative.
There’s always Balance My Hormones or The Men’s Health Clinic, but going to the NHS is a colossal waste of your time.
You’ll more than likely get quacked.
I do absolutely agree with you, to be honest I am not sure what I am going to gain from it but just going through the motions. Like I stated in my posts earlier in this topic, I am attempting natural options first for 6 months or so, so waiting until Jan is not a million miles away. However, after learning so much more on here I am a realist and now I am aware of just how low my levels are I have already begun learning and researching TRT clinics so am I ready to pull the trigger if and presumably when the time comes, more than likely early next year.
One thing that has amazed me is how relatively quickly this has happened. I was under the impression hormone decline is a gradual process, and up to Jan/Feb this year I had no symptoms of low T, or certainly none that I had noticed. Then all of a sudden symptoms started to creep in and then I had the test in June which confirmed that 6.6 nmol reading. I think my levels were probably borderline low for a long time, just not enough for symptoms to kick in, and then it dipped even lower at the start of this year for whatever reason, maybe the crash diet, and that’s when I started to notice.
Thanks for all the help
Yes, it can be like CAD, fine yesterday, dead before you hit the ground today.
Thank you @dextermorgan, much appreciated!
I do recall that person too, maybe traveling man? I’m just at a loss really on why it happens and what to do to fix it. I think dbossa would say just increase dose until you cum from looking at a girl… But I’m just not so sure about that yet. I have talked with my wife about increasing my dose, but it’s taken a long time to get where I am right now with hydraulics working as they should, I’m hesitant to change anything.
My next Dr appointment isn’t until April, so I have a little runway to try stuff out, but I’m just not sure. I’ve contemplated staying EOD but increasing dose or keeping dose the same and going ED.
After this weekend I might flip a coin and let fate decide for me.

Same… it’s like could be better but could be worse so makes it tough to change anything.
I went thru something like this too. Most of the time bjs were futile in getting me off. I think because I was never really relaxed with them. Always thinking the girl MUST be doing it just bc she feels she HAS to. Like ruined it for me. I actually started to dread them. Also, one can get self conscious about stink down there and am I all good? (FULLY dry off, then baby powder, prior to underwear, etc.)
Until my latest gf. She LOVEs giving them and it’s obvious. So for me, I feel more relaxed and believe she loves giving them… and she can literally get me off in under a minute with them. Something ive NEVER been able to do.
I also think increasing foreplay will help most of the DE problems men have.
If you still are having issues, I’d investigate estrogen. It’s well known it increases serotonin, which is an inhibitor neurotransmitter, i.e. buts the brakes on blowing it.
SSRI’s increase serotonin level. Hence the sexual dysfunction that comes with them.
If you’ve always had DE issues, both pre and post TRT, what are your E2 numbers like both pre and post?
My dr. didn’t test E2 prior to starting trt, and it woulda been DAMN helpful to see where they were at.
