Should I masturbate (100 Days and No libido)

[Extendos Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Extendos]

Would like to get started with some of this, but I don't have a libido, haven't cummed since the spring. I used to be honry all day, now I am not. I know this is the case + with being on an antidepressant kind of caused this. I am now off of it for 2-3 weeks. Any tips?

Antidepressants suck so bad when it comes to libido. When i was on them i was lucky enough to still have some what of a libido but there were times where it would talk me like a hour to cum. My suggestion would be do you really need to be on a antidepressant, and i don't mean ditch the pills and live a bad life just so you can have sex i mean, do you think your life is better or worse with the pills. Many Dr's will hand out pills like candy just because they think it will solve the persons issues. Also when it comes to quitting you have to do it slowly, make sure your Dr is good with it. Also as for masturbation go for it, what's the worse that can happen. If you jerk off multiple times a day you may find it hard to get hard and do PE, but it won't effect gains. Even if you masturbate every other day.

Like the member above said, is it absolutely necessary for you to stay on the pills? If not, try to ease away from them. If yes, take them as prescribed, and take some supplements that enhance blood flow and increase sex drive. Some of the best are: Maca, Epimedium, Tribulus Terrestris, Tongkat Ali, Yohimbe. These are all natural PDE5 inhibitors (have a very mild Viagra-like effect) and also happen to be aphrodisiacs, which increase libido. Another good one is L-arginine, it is a precursor to nitric oxide (a very important element for erections). I believe it does not increase sex drive, but could improve the quality of erections. Rather cheap too.

What is the medical advice?

Get off those bullshit drugs. They are just a cash grab. Drugs don't change lives, its choices that do. Go hang out with people that make you happy, replenish your serotonin/dopamine levels, take a quality zma with maca, ginger, and turmeric. Can't stand the drug industry. Same shit that made me gain over 80 lbs and then wrecked my sleep making me gain more. Fuck what your doctor has to say and come off them.

I should of stated more clearly. I am off of them as of three weeks ago. I still have symptoms from withdrawing from it (burning up, getting full quickly, sleepy, little bit dizzy, all slowly going away, and one of them being a low sex drive. I did end up jacking off too lol. Should I start PE now or wait until everything is back to normal? Or does it not matter...

I would say my libido is back maybe 30%-50%. I can cum pretty quickly, would just say erections aren't at 100%, but were they ever? It takes me a little bit longer to get hard maybe a minute.

Just from my experience.
I do not ejaculate much. Generally I will do so once every two weeks. I do edge daily and have sex 2~3 times in two weeks.
But I try to only ejaculate in sex, and as an arbitrary goal I set for myself to fight Premature Ejaculation, only after my wife cums 10 times. These days between a new job and life stuff our sex life has slowed down, so aiming for that 10 orgasms is taking a long time.

I find that going one week is fine, but the second week I notice other ancillary problems. My erections start to weaken, I get a sickly feeling in body and penis. And PE is not so productive. But once I do ejaculate I feel much better. Erections are firm and strong, even a few hours after, and PE becomes more productive.

I think it may benefit you to masturbate, as it helps to clean out the pipes, so to speak.

Funny you say that i find if i don't cum for a week, i get erections but i always find that i get more excited than hard. It's hard to explain, but if i go the whole week and i masturbate my 2nd erection or the next day the erection is always stronger.

Also to OP you say you been off the meds for 3 weeks, keep at it your almost in the clear. I found when i got of the SSRI's it was a whole month before i noticed the symptoms went away. Mostly the tremors, i don't know if you got them but if you miss a day or 2 your body gets these weird tremors or almost like someone is zapping your brain.

Same here, in general.
It takes me a while to hit that "more excited than hard" level, but I know what you mean.
And after I ejaculate then I get bigger firmer erections, even as little as 45 mins later. And shocking morning wood that wakes me up.
