New drug delays male orgasms, study finds

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The first drug formulated to treat premature ejaculation delays climax and also increases reported satisfaction, researchers said on Monday. The drug, called dapoxetine, helped men delay their orgasms significantly and doubled the numbers of men and their female partners reporting "good" sexual satisfaction, they told a conference.

"Premature ejaculation is a really common problem, affecting between 10 and 30 percent of all men. Here is something for the first time that we have that works," said Dr. Jon Pryor, chairman of the Department of Urologic Surgery at the University of Minnesota, who led the study. He said the drug worked quickly and with few side-effects. "It gets in rapidly. It gets out rapidly. You can take it one to three hours before intercourse," Pryor said in a telephone interview.

The drug is being co-developed by Mountain View, California-based Alza Corp. and Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Services LLC. Ortho Pharmaceutical will market the drug in the United States if it receives U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval. All three companies are units of Johnson & Johnson. In a study presented to a meeting of the American Urological Association in San Antonio, Pryor said men who took dapoxetine at doses of either 30 mg or 60 mg had a three to four-fold increase in ejaculation time compared to men given a placebo.

The percentage of men rating control over ejaculation as "fair to very good" increased from 2.5 percent before getting the drug to 51.8 percent afterward for men who got the lower dose, to 58 percent of men given the higher dose. Of the men who got the placebo, 3.5 percent reported fair to very good control before getting the dummy pill and 26.4 percent said so afterward.

1. I Wonder What Happens

When you mix that with Viagra or Cialas. Could this be the all night combo?:)

[makhno]

17. Cocaine, coming to a drugstore near you

:headbang:

[daleo]

2. A drug whose time has come. n/t

[oasis]

25. Has it come yet or are you offering premature congratulations?

:shrug:

[Sparkle]

3. Always discovering drugs to keep men aroused.

Male chauvinist pigs.

[TreasonousBastard]

7. But this one looks like...

it will solve more problems for women.

[shanti]

20. for SOME women

....and men :eyes:

[Mojambo]

4. Profit-based pharmaceutical research really sucks.

That being said, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of that stuff.

And the DU ladies get a read on one of the many reasons I remain single...

[PartyPooper]

5. I'm sure the perverts will find a way to get this drug paid by medicaid.

[Triana]

6. I'd like to see some drugs that increase female satisfaction

and simultaneously prevent pregnancy.

[Toucano]

21. Haven't you heard?

Females are satisfied by boner drugs! And really, the check is in the mail. I just put it in the box yesterday, so you should have it by the end of the week.

[Triana]

28. Yea...female orgasms don't matter anyway...

...according to 'some' authors.

[nine30]

33. Partly true..

From a purely biological/procreational point of view its inconsequential..but in a "relationship" it might matter.

[WindRavenX]

41. false

Female orgasm creates contractions in the vaginal muscles and uterus; allowing sperm to reach the ovulated egg quicker.
There is a biological basis for female orgasm.

[MARALE]

34. I have to know

What authors?

[TreasonousBastard]

8. "It gets in rapidly. It gets out rapidly..."

I thought that was the problem?

[Castilleja]

9. Heh, you read my mind

:D

[Up2Late]

10. No, this just means that you could take it before the date...

have a nice romantic Dinner, then hopefully you're ready to go.

That was one of the original problems with Viagra, you had to take it on an empty stomach and several hours before your "date," at least that's what I read.:smoke:

[Bigmack]

11. Ummmm.... this is gonna be fun....

wasn't it?

[Elidor]

12. I've heard of this...it's called BEER!

Duh.

[shanti]

22. LOL! n/t

[KittyWampus]

13. Western Men Might Be Happier Changing Diets & Attitudes & Practising

yoga.

[iconoclastic cat]

42. No need. Now, let me have a pill that causes multiple orgasms.

Not for me, of course.
:evilgrin:

[Lars39]

14. And where is the new nifty male birth control pill or injection?

?????

[Up2Late]

15. I think they have that, but it's not as well publicized, but...

...would you REALLY want to depend on the average guy, when he tells you, "Don't worry, I took my pill!"???

[Nikia]

43. I think that its still in trials

I would trust my husband to take it. He is less ready for children than I am. There are many couples in the same situation. It would also protect guys in less stable relationships. There would be no excuse for the guy who says that he was tricked into becoming a father or anything. Everyone could be equally responsible for reproduction.

[jayctravis]

16. Perhaps some people should stop taking drugs to

control every aspect of the sexual process and perhaps read some books about the subject.

If it don't work, it's God's will.



:sarcasm:

[Toucano]

18. This is the "R&D" our over-priced prescriptions have wrought?

What a wonderful age we live in!

Edit: typo

[shanti]

19. oh SURELY

we need THIS!!! :sarcasm:

[sonicx]

24. some may...

[NIGHT TRIPPER]

23. long term side effects may include:

....hmmm

too long to list

[montana_hazeleyes]

26. Judging by many women's experience,

I think our bodies produce this drug naturally.

[BadGimp]

27. Why on earth would anyone want to take this drug?

;)

[Triana]

29. And they should call it 'OBSESSION'

_ _ _ _ _

I agree with another poster here that men would be better off re-evaluating their attitudes, their health habits, and doing some yoga.

[oneighty]

30. Sounds like another burden to bear.

"Hurry up" she complains. "I am getting leg cramps."

[Enraged_Ape]

31. For people who are too dumb to use the "NFL technique"

I cannot imagine a market for this drug for anyone over 16 years old, or who is just too stupid to use the famous "NFL technique".

Guys, if it's getting hot, heavy, and out of control, just picture in your mind an NFL football game. It's fourth and long, 15 seconds on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eagles vs. Green Bay, 14-10. McNabb takes the snap and fades back... I'll let you fill in the rest. Just keep this tableau in your mind until your lady has grabbed the brass ring, then get right back into what you're doing.

If football's not your thing, substitute any other sport of your choice.

I can't believe I'm the only guy who does this.

[Sparkle]

38. I'm too dumb, can you spell this out for me?

Are you suggesting the men to hold off?

[PassingFair]

32. F***ing GREAT, now I will never

...get to sleep. Who's idea is this?

[olddad56]

35. This drug could lead to some serious 'tennis elbow'.

[radwriter0555]

36. THANK GOODNESS the men are sexually satisfied... and that billions have

been spent assuring that they can ejaculate.

While people die, children are abused, starved and beaten...

[Shell Beau]

37. Where is the one that helps the woman's?

Come on now, let's really help the women.

[valis]

39. Summary of the drug, below:

...............................................................................Ahhhhh!


:P

[roguevalley]
