That is interesting. What you are talking about seems tantalizingly similar to different unwelcome side effects of certain of these psychoactive meds. I have taken meds that made it so I couldn't climax, it is not pleasant. I have heard of a med that people who couldn't climax because SSRI's were interfering with them could take that would temporarily provide them a window of opportunity. I can't remember the name but I know the doctor who told me about it. I wonder if that sort of thing would help. During the times when meds have given me troubles in this area, there were two distinct types of experience for me. The first was an erection that when employed felt great but I just couldn't and wasn't going to climax. That was very frustrating. The other form of disfunction was the mental realization that a trigger had switched somewhere in my head and even though there was no ejaculet my erection would slowly fade as if I had climaxed, this too was frustrating. Does your experience correspond to one of these scenarios more than the other? If not, how would you describe it? I ask because different drugs cause different reactions and maybe there are clues about the mechanism involved for you. When one takes into account the type of drug that causes a similar reaction. One could look at its mode of interaction with the brain and make some surmise about your situation, maybe.
