No : This a harmless side-effect of the tamsulosin, which is completely reversible with discontinuation of the medication.

Reverse ejaculation: Quite common side effect of tamsulosin, known as retrograde ejaculation. Bladder neck is relaxed ; ejaculate flows backwards into bladder. This will revert to normal after medication is discontinued.
