Hi all, this is my first post. A few years ago I was on an SSRI and consulted a psychopharmacologist about delayed

orgasm with it. (I had tried Wellbutrin, and while it didn't affect sexual response negatively, it also was not

effective for my depression). He suggested trying Periactin or Viagra and gave me prescriptions for both. Periactin

just made me sleepy and dull. Viagra was very helpful - increased lubrication, faster, fuller sexual response and

orgasm. It did make my nose very stuffy, though.

What was really interesting, though, was the herb yohimbe. I

had read about yohimbe (and its pharmacologic cousin, yohimbine) on Serge Kreutz's website

http://www.yohimbe.org/
He's a layperson who has done years of study and experimentation with various

substances (Rx, over-the-counter, and herbal preparations) that enhance libido, response and performance primarily

in men. I found some yohimbe at my local Rite-Aid drug store for about $8. The first time I tried it, I took a whole

pill (equivalent to 9 mg active ingredient) and it was quite effective in not only enhancing sexual experience in

all the ways Viagra does, but it also has stimulant effects to the degree that I was sleepless for over 24 hours. On

subsequent experimentation, I took half a pill and had all the benefits but no trouble sleeping, though it still

enlivened my mind and creativity. Unfortunately if you take it on a daily basis, its effects lessen dramatically. So

yohimbe is nice for special occasions.
