Few PE sufferers are actually depressed. But soon after the FDA’s 1987 approval of the first SSRI, Prozac, it became clear that the SSRIs have a side effect—delay of orgasm, and possibly loss of ability to climax at all. Drug makers discovered that in men with PE, lowering the dose could delay but not totally suppress orgasm/ejaculation. Several analyses of low-dose SSRIs show the drugs help men last one to five minutes longer. … [Read more...] about Drugs for Premature Ejaculation: Most Men Soon Quit Them

A Modest Proposal for Autistic Employment
The WDC might be capped at a certain dollar figure, and participants in the program might have their disability rating re-evaluated every few years.

The truth, I suddenly saw, was that I seem to think sobriety is cool and that you, whoever you are, want to hear about it. I remember going to a restaurant early on in my sobriety, ordering a Diet Coke from a waiter and then adding, “The reason I’m ordering a soda and not a drink is that I’m newly sober after a crippling cocaine addiction and if I have a drink, that will just lead to more and next thing I know I’ll be calling my dealer and then it will be 6 in the morning and I’ll be wired to the gills, hearing the birds chirp and thinking about killing myself.” … [Read more...] about But I Thought the Rules Didn’t Apply to Me?
