Priligy (dapoxetine) offers a unique approach, targeting the serotonin transporter to delay ejaculation. Unlike topical anesthetics which numb sensation, Priligy works internally. This means you maintain sensation while gaining control.
SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), sometimes prescribed off-label for premature ejaculation, offer a different mechanism. They impact serotonin levels more broadly, potentially leading to side effects like decreased libido or sexual dysfunction. Priligy’s targeted action often minimizes these issues.
Behavioral therapies, like the “squeeze technique,” require significant self-discipline and practice. Priligy provides a faster route to improvement, complementing behavioral methods rather than replacing them entirely.
Consider your lifestyle and preferences. If you prefer a medication with a more direct and targeted effect on ejaculatory control with fewer potential side effects impacting overall sexual function, Priligy may be a good option. If you prefer non-pharmaceutical approaches, behavioral therapies are valuable.
Always consult your doctor before starting any treatment for premature ejaculation. They can help you assess your specific needs and determine the best course of action for you.
