Prozac (fluoxetine) can help: But, there are many other thing that you can do as well. Practicing relaxation techniques or using distraction methods may help. Counseling or behavioral therapy may help reduce anxiety related to premature ejaculation, and can help you and your partner practice specific techniques to help delay ejaculation. Also trying condoms or creams that decrease sensation may be helpful.
