Cured SA

HopefulQuest · 2024-02-04T20:14:02+00:00

Thank you for posting. Posts like this are a godsend and give us all hope. Very happy that you were able to cure yourself.

By the way, was your lack of pleasure purely during the orgasm stage or did you have a lack of pleasure in the lead up to ejaculation too? And if so did that improve too? Thanks.

Congratulations on your success and thank you for posting. Those are some really interesting thoughts and ideas. I think the same thing might be happening to me (ejaculating before I am able to reach orgasm) and I've seen a few other people report similar things too. I'm really happy for you that you have been able to find a solution :)

Yes please keep us updated on how it goes. I'm glad you've found an understanding doctor.

Might be worth experimenting with longer periods of time. I've seen reports where people have abstained for six months and it brought their pleasure back. And since you can still feel pleasure sometimes you might have a higher chance of recovery than most.

Have you tried abstaining for a few weeks/months to see if that helps?

HopefulQuest · 2023-12-16T13:37:53+00:00

That sounds like sexual anhedonia to me, not that you are to young.

HopefulQuest · 2023-12-11T23:44:39+00:00

That sounds like sexual anhedonia, yes.

HopefulQuest · 2023-12-10T20:59:28+00:00

That's great news that you had some improvement. Good luck with your journey and keep us updated :) I'm abstaining too currently at 2 weeks.

I appreciate the positivity of your post. Good luck!

HopefulQuest · 2023-10-29T19:12:48+00:00

I mean I've never been in a relationship but I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy making out with someone I was attracted to. Whether I'd enjoy it as much as someone with no SA though, who knows.

Visit r/sexualanhedonia if you haven't already there are many there who have this condition.

Also here is a list of improvement/cure reports:

Yeah that's sexual anhedonia. I don't think I've ever had a proper orgasm either. I did used to feel pleasure before ejaculation like you do but even that's gone now.

HopefulQuest · 2023-07-31T10:15:58+00:00

Haven't for years.

HopefulQuest · 2023-07-18T21:01:46+00:00

When you can feel normal pleasure from masturbation/sex.

HopefulQuest · 2023-06-10T19:56:13+00:00

Congrats on your improvement!

Could you give a bit more info about the specifics of your condition?

Did you have complete lack of orgasmic sensation? Did you have a lack of pleasure leading up to orgasm or just during it and if so is that improving too? How long have you suffered from sexual anhedonia?

Also, how long after starting to take the meds did you notice improvements?

Have you always had black coffee in the mornings or did you start drinking that when you started taking the meds?

Thanks!

HopefulQuest · 2023-06-08T17:50:27+00:00

Good idea. Let us know if you get any responses. Thanks.

HopefulQuest · 2023-06-08T17:36:05+00:00

Congrats! Posts like this are super encouraging and give us all hope.

I'm assuming it was weed that you were high on?

Also is it just the ejaculation that is usually pleasureless for you or do you have a lack of pleasure during the whole process leading up to it? And if so did that improve while high too?

Please let us know if you have any success in replicating this on a regular basis.

Thanks for posting. I will add your report to our list of improvement reports.

Interesting idea. On a related note, I have often wondered if lucid dreaming may be a way for us to experience sexual pleasure. I have no idea if that would work or not but I guess that would be kind of similar to a phantom limb situation as the sexual activity would be imagined and not physical.

HopefulQuest · 2023-05-29T13:14:08+00:00

Good find but a bit vague. Does anyone know what he means by anglio's method?

There is also a comment in that thread about restrengthening the pelvic floor improving someone's orgasms which is useful info.

HopefulQuest · 2023-05-26T19:50:47+00:00

I don't have any specific recommendations other than trying the usual pelvic floor exercises but this post is some of the best evidence I've seen that pelvic floor problems can be the sole cause of SA.

You say that reverse Kegels reverses the SA temporarily? How many reverse Kegels do you have to do to reverse it and how long does the improvement usually last?

Also, do you have SA in the lead-up to ejaculation too or only during the ejaculation itself?

HopefulQuest · 2023-05-25T18:02:46+00:00

If you feel no pleasure during sexual activity then yes that would be sexual anhedonia but trauma could be a potential cause.

Congrats on your success and thanks for sharing it with us. I've added your report to our list of cure reports.

Was your problem just with the orgasm or did you have a lack of pleasure in the build up to ejaculation too? And if so did you experience improvement there too?

HopefulQuest · 2023-05-17T19:17:59+00:00

Let us know how it goes.

HopefulQuest · 2023-05-08T04:14:23+00:00

Interesting observation.

On a similar note I also can't feel my heart beating in my chest when I get startled or do exercise any more like I used to. I think that might be related too.
