A member asked:

Is it okay to have sex while taking tamsulosin (flowmax 0.4 mg) even though i cannot ejaculate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: small percentage of patients who take Flomax or Rapaflo (silodosin) will not be able to ejaculate. This condition is harmless and goes away when you will stop this medication. In the mean time you can continue the sexual intercourse.
