GENERIC ALTERNATIVE LISTING – Sertraline

Premature ejaculation (or “PE,” for short) is defined as a “persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal stimulation before, on or shortly after penetration and before the person wishes it.” In simple terms, premature ejaculation occurs when you ejaculate too early during intercourse or sexual activity. There’s no specific amount of time that defines ejaculation as “premature”—most sources use figures ranging from 30 seconds to four minutes into sexual activity.

Prescription medicine for premature ejaculation, such as sertraline, and topical products like Hims Climax Delay Spray can both help increase time to ejaculation–but work differently and fit different lifestyles. Since sertraline is a pill, it might be a good fit for people worried about having to plan sex or stop in the middle of the action to spray or wipe the penis. Climax Delay Spray, on the other hand, might be a good fit for people who don’t want to take a prescription pill.
