L-Carnosine for PE ?

[John21]

(moved from another thread)

I have news.  First of all - my POIS has been minimal since my gut-related efforts (see Mastic Gum, etc). After this success I was perplexed when it resurfaced, although only in a small manner. After considering the idea of hyperammonia I decided to try a few different supplements and eventually I tried l-carnosine. Now something is totally eliminating my premature ejaculation! I think that PE is a common thing that many on this forum share so this might be very significant to others. Also, following O I had zero POIS symptoms. The first time I took one single 250mg capsule.  I found that the effect lasts for days and even builds up as time goes on.  It has a antidepressant-like effect on me in that I don't feel quite normal on it yet it is not entirely unpleasant. The second time I tried it I took half a capsule (by separating the powder) and it had a similar effect. Again, PE was completely gone and the effect lasted for days. It affects my sleep in that I am able to sleep better but perhaps the sleep is not as deep and refreshing.  I have no idea why this might be having this effect, the ammonia idea might be nowhere close to what is happening, but the effect is very profound. I have had severe PE for as long as I can remember! I have never been able to have what I would consider "normal" sex. I am wondering if in my early teens I messed up my development by masturbating too early and intensely, and that carnosine helps restore balance somehow. This is huge for me, I hope others can consider and perhaps benefit from it! It is possible that something else I have tried has made the difference but my best bet is the carnosine.

I tried it again and once again I had success. I took a half dose and after waiting more than 24 hours I had no PE.

Correlation is not causation but it is reason for consideration.

Great, John!

I've been trying 500mg to 1g of L-Carnosine per day, but can't say I've noticed any change to my symptoms. Then again, I have CFS in addition to POIS, so even if I abstain my symptoms are pretty bad.

There is another possible factor in my lack of PE/Pois. At the same time as I was trying L-Carnosine I was also using virgin coconut oil as a sexual lubricant. Coconut oil has anti-fungal properties. I am wondering if the oil acted as a fungicide in the groin area to counteract a hidden fungal infection.  Could PE and/or Pois be caused by a sub-clinical (no rash) fungal infection of the groin? I suggest that others try some applications to test the theory. Just be careful as leaving the oil on for a while can be messy. You might want a garbage bag under your bed sheet if you do an overnight application.

I have been POIS free for a while now but can't tell what the real cause is; What i do know is that i used to suffer from fungal infections a lot, they would cause balanitis again and again. Since I'm POIS free, no such thing anymore and much less of a white tongue.

Possible reasons I see for my improvement: I tried the mastic gum + oregano oil option others described on this forum; i changed my toothpaste to a natural one with charcoal (which gave me a much cleaner mouth => link with cleaner tongue), I used natural testosterone enhancers (the ones you buy at bodybuilders shopts). If my memory is correct, the last ones (testosterone) I started using after pois was already starting to get better: so the first two seem the more important ones.

I orgasm almost 3x/week to almost daily now without any POIS-symptoms and this already for 8 months or so. Still don't know what did help and still expecting it to come back one day, but this hasn't happened yet.

i forgot to mention in the list of possible factors that got me rid of pois for 8 months now the supplmentation with Lion's Mane.
My best guess is that it is the combination of mastic gum + oregano oil + lion's mane.... but it remains hard to ascertain.

Congrats :-)

Could you go into detail about the "natural testosterone enhancers"?

@berlin1984, I shouldn't have mentionned them: i'm quite sure it's not them that helped me: i have been taking a while these T-boosters you find in any bodybuilders shop. For me it is the mastic gum+oregano oil+lion's mane that made the difference; before i was already getting my symptoms seriiously diminished with antihistamines.

It is rather sad that hardly anyone tries or reports about such a potential cure. I had relatively good success with all of these individually, so I have high expectations for such a powerful combo. When I finish my short trials, if ever, then this is going to be the first on my list. I will certainly report my findings whatever the outcome, but it may take as much as a year to get to this point, as I still have about one hundred supplements that need to be tested. Those who just want to live a normal life and not giving this a chance are missing out on a great opportunity to get well. Now there is even a model that could explain how this works, but do we really need an explanation just to cure ourselves?
