It’s nice that they have reported Pre-ejaculate as POIS trigger in the patient. First article that mentioned it.

Question - has this drug been used by other POISers (or a drug of similar class)?  A forum search didn't find anything.

Certainly none has reported about flibanserin, still many similar drugs have been used by members. You could check this post for details:

Work has already begun. You may have noticed my sending papers to them, correspondence, in-person meetings, etc. But realistically POISer recruitment, analysis, writeups, NORD evaluations will continue into 2023.

I just want you all to know that after 15 years here (NSF & POISCenter), I have finally found what I was looking for: outside-expertise with a dedicated, POIS-empathetic research team that “all very much want this to happen” (in their own words). Including their guidance to see us all the way through to successful POIS treatment.

Yours,
Demo

Anything on the [2023 POIS Research] study?

Thank you, Journey.

From the 2023 POIS Study Research Team:
“We are working with Dr. Prause and UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) to determine how to move the study to UCLA.

Currently, we met with and are working with the UCLA institutional review board (IRB) to figure out how to best approach human subject protections, particularly given we are collaborating across multiple institutions (UCLA and University of Nebraska - Lincoln [UN-L] ).

We are hopeful that moving the study to UCLA will make it more accessible to POIS Research Study participants and will provide additional support moving forward.”

For those of you who are not aware that our original scope of study for POIS Research in 2023 has expanded significantly

VERY EXCITING 2023 POIS RESEARCH NEWS!

“Hey Demo,

My name's Eric and I've been a member of the forum for a while now.  I only learned about the UNL [NORD] study recently and decided to investigate.  After learning of a few deficiencies as a result of limited funding (they weren't going to look into delayed onset symptoms and other autoimmune/inflammatory biomarkers) I decided to get in contact with them to see how much funding they would require to expand their study to cover the things I thought were important.

I asked them to give me numbers for how much they would need for the basic additions I requested along with any other ones they could think of for their "dream" study.  They came back to me with some ideas which I thought were good.

I and my family's foundation have decided to fully fund the "dream" study!  Before I gave them the go ahead, I had asked Quantum if he knew any medical researchers in the forum I could contact.  That's why I'd gotten in touch with him prior.  Thanks again Quantum! 

I also reached out to an autoimmune researcher friend of mine for suggested expansions to the study and she gave me a few that Tierney and Nicole hadn't thought of so those might be added too.

The study will be tracking more inflammatory biomarkers, including delayed onset people, adding research assistants, larger sample size, etc.  I've been asked not to share their hypotheses or the study proposal so I can't share those details.  Suffice it to say, the study should be more comprehensive than before and hopefully allow for some real progress.

I'm personally deeply motivated to increase visibility and research for POIS (since it's taken away a lot of joy from my life).  This study seems like a great start.

Thanks for all your hard work organizing this study!  The funding is almost the easy part, I think what you did was incredible.  Hope you keep up your good work!

Thanks,
Eric”

Thank you, Eric!
Best wishes!

This forum is very new to me, but pois is not, unfortunately. I suppose I am trying to find out the availability of the research study and if it has space for someone that has time to commit to such a service. Secondly, I am still learning about pois, treatments, and experiences. Thank you. - R

RD, welcome to POISCenter.

If you are referring to volunteering for NORD’s 2023 POIS Research Study, we will be posting announcements asking for volunteers. I don’t know exactly when. We will also be probably sending out emails, and you are on the list since you registered here.

ps - RD, were you at the Naked Science Forum? Your username seems familiar.

[RD]

Thank you, Demografx. I am actually speaking of the study being conducted at The University of Nebraska / Lincoln. Sorry for leaving that out. Naked science wasn't me, I only do science with clothes on these days. pois being considered. Gotta have a laugh, right?! Anyway, not me. There is a lot of information on this forum, has this been helpful for you?

[demografx]

Thank you, Demografx. I am actually speaking of the study being conducted at The University of Nebraska / Lincoln.

Yes, that is exactly what I was referring to. It is now UNL & UCLA. I am the POISCenter coordinator with Dr. Lorenz and Dr Prause, who are directing the study.

Thank you very much. Keep me posted as I could be in either place at any time for any length stay. Oddly, those are two of the three areas I frequent on a regular basis.

Im pretty excited for the study and hope, i can be part of it, even as a german!
Thank you Demo and all the doctors for this chance,
also all the helpful people in this community,
God bless!

I am rather addicted to trials as of now and porn is just a frequent part of it. Actually sometimes it feels more like a torture, really.

Hi Journey, upon completion of the study the researchers are required by NORD to craft an article to be submitted for publication (including their method, procedure, results, and final thoughts).  Would that have the POIS specific information your wanting?
