St. John's Wort helping my prem ejac (I think)

I would like to revitalize this thread and get some updates.
Zigga, Did you completely stop with the st Johns wort (SJW)? Did you completely change your opinion from what you stated in the thread title? Do you think sjw helps delay orgasm or not?
Did you continue with accupuncture? What results did you get?

Vincent, You were taking SJW also. Are you still taking it? Do you still think it helps you?

Doodman, you also started taking it, what do you say now that a few weeks have gone by?

mravg,

I just started taking SJW two days ago. So far the only side effect is a runny nose with very greenish color. But I will update if I see any results, positive or negative.

I have been taking 6x300mg or st johns wart and 7x500mg arginine a day for about 3 weeks. I need to have sex to find out though :(

I also take 6x300mg of SWJ. And the other night I had a dream where I was masturbating and couldn’t get myself off. If dreams only came true! :D

I’m getting some funky dreams too, also massive morning wood. Me like it :D

This is interesting.. I had the same thing that SJW seems to when I first was on vicodin. I was masturbating, and it took me about 40 min to get off. Then, after being on it a few days, I couldn’t get it up. And obviously, during that time, I had 3 opportunities to have sex. My luck.

I’m going to try this SJW, perhaps is will help me. Thanks for the suggestion.

tmar89: Greenish secretion from the nose may indicate infection (sinusitis?). I think you should see a doctor.

Jafar_t,

All better now.. It wasn’t related.

It is time to report my initial observations. I started taking St Johns Wort and 5-htp, both 2 weeks ago.

I have noted a very significant improvement in my sleep pattern. Deeper sleep, less waking in the night, and more difficult to get up in the morning. This is not a subtle change as is the case with most “natural” products. It is a definite and substantial change. For that reason alone, I am enjoying it.

I have NOT noticed any change in my ability to delay ejaculation, or mood, or anything else.

My plan from here is to take both products for 2 more weeks, then stop the 5-htp and see how the sjw works on its own for a month or so, since that is the cheaper of the 2 products. I will keep you informed. 2 weeks is a short time, so maybe I will still get the orgasm delaying effect.

It has now been a month. I can not say that I have had any improvement in stamina, but I am continuing to take the SJW and 5 htp because of the sleep benefits. I also had to give a presentation recently, to a large audience, and noticed that I was very calm and didn’t have the usual butterflies and anxiety that this type of situation would usually cause.

On the negative side, I have had some stomach problems, a feeling of fullness, gas, bloated stomach that I read is common from 5 htp. I just bought the enteric coated version. If this is no better, I will probably stop the 5 htp and try sjw alone for a while.

I am still hoping for stamina improvements. I may have had some effect but not great enough to say for sure. This morning I lasted 9 minutes, which is ok for me. I was so arroused at the beginning I almost came much sooner, but was able to regain control. Since sex varies so much from day to day, it is difficult to say if the supplements have an affect.

What brand are you taking? Natrol? Or Nature’s Way?

Anyone have any updates on this?

I’ve been taking it for almost a month now. Nothing new really to report. I’ve quick triggered alot, except for one time where I was about to quick trigger, kegelled and held most of it in then put on a extended pleasure trojan and went for about 30 minutes, but I was about 70% erect the whole time. Don’t get me wrong, it was awesome, but I don’t relate it to the SJW at all.

I don’t think the brand is that important, but the best ones will say “Standardized to 3% hypercin” or something like that (that equates to 9 mg hypercin per 300 mg capsule).
The most expensive brands will also mention their hyperphorin content, which is supposed to be the other active ingredient, perhaps more important from what I have read.

I agree, standardized to 3% is what my bottle says. I got it at Walmart.

It has worked pretty well for me. I take 4 pills about 30-45 minutes before sex (or as close to that as possible) and it does delay my Premature Ejaculation. I would say I can last for 2-3 times longer sometimes more if I really kegel or reverse kegel.

I am about 200 lbs and 4 pills work for me, if you are larger or smaller, I think taking more or less may help. If you try taking it 45 minutes before with 3 pills, try taking 1 more pill the next time and see if it helps.

I want to just finish the thought here by saying that I have tried the SJW for a couple of months now and I don’t think it does anything to increase stamina. I will go off it and see if there are any changes.
