I'm going through ED (and also delayed ejaculation) issues with my wife and myself. We are trying to start a family, and even since we've been together, since I was younger, and its a difficult situation.

The prime suspect for all this dissmay is the anti-depressents and anti-anxiety pills I am on. I am 26, and have talked to my doctor about it, and it seems that is the reason for this. It doesn't help that due to my mental health issues, I am at the maximum dosage for some of them. I have even tried newer/ cleaner (less side-effects) version of my pills, and they do not seem to work for me. So thus the situation continues...

I am able to get an erection, but my issues are that I am unable to maintain an erection; and that during intercourse I am never able to 'finish'. Ejaculate or orgasim. It is a really hard thing to deal with....
something I feel like the orgasim is coming, but then it goes away...

Question s: Can you ejaculate without orgasiming? Can you orgasim without ejaculating?

Hi, Is the ED/DE a problem in itself that you'd like to change so that you want a more fulfilling sexlife, or is it that it's causing a problem now you want to get your wife pregnant?
If it's the latter you can use other methods than just intercourse which will work just as well

I have periods of both ed and delayed ejaculation..to me it is anxiety and stimulation...I must relax or my climax will never come..i thought when my ed was fixed it was over...but this delayed problem is so challenging at times I would trade one for the other. I take daily cialis, zinc and ginseng good luck keep trying

I have noticed for me with higher dosage of Cialis DE is more prevalent. 20mg and I can go for 30+ minutes before climaxing. With 10mg I'm more or less back to normal.

Can you orgasm without ejaculating? Sounds like you need to get up to speed on the male orgasm. After that if it isn't the meds, you might be trying to hard. Are you making love to your wife just to get yourself off, to be a daddy, or is she part of the equation. . Hopefully, she will be unique in your life forever. I suggest you focus very intently on her pleasure and health then if you still have a problem you might want to get professional help. Good Luck.

Reed,

I am a physician who has gone through quite a bid of health related misfortune lately, including leukemia and a bone marrow transplant. I am now fairly well. I had a great deal of anxiety and take Prozac. All SSRIs and SNRIs can cause impotence and delayed ejaculation. I think that the impotence is the worst part of it and it just feeds on itself, with anxiety making it impossible to stay hard. So....I am now taking 10mg of Cialis daily. My erections are NORMAL again. They, at first, would happen in the middle of the night, but now only when being sexually stimulated. I am extremely happy with my function and have not had to stop my prozac. You really cannot ejaculate without an orgasm, because an orgasm=ejaculation. Even those with prostatectomies, where nothing comes out with orgasm, ejaculate into the bladder. Just get the Cialis (ask for samples, as it is expensive) and start taking it daily. Relax and love your wife. You will make a baby and you will feel satisfied. I would love to delay my ejaculation a bit longer, so, as long as you do ejaculate and experience a wonderful orgasm, all is good. Please do not worry so much.
