Why I Stopped Taking Tramadol for Premature Ejaculation (5 Reasons)

If you went the "meds for premature ejaculation" rabbit hole, you surely have heard about TRAMADOL, an opioid painkiller that increases lasting time.

And you surely wanna know how effective tramadol is and what the side effects and the risks are.

And since I was taking it for almost 1.5 years back then, I have plenty of experience with it. Also I found better ways to last longer in bed.

So in today's post we'll cover:

• What is Tramadol?
• How does it work to delay ejaculation?
• How it feels
• Side effects and 5 reasons I stopped using it for PE
• What works BETTER than tramadol for PE.

Disclaimer: I’m not a fucking doctor🚨. I think tramadol is a bad solution for PE, I’m not endorsing it—I’m actually against it. But since I’ve used it, I’ll share my experience. So let’s go.

What Is Tramadol and How Does It Delay Ejaculation?

Tramadol is an opioid painkiller, which means that it blocks the pain signals between the body and the brain. It’s also an SNRI—selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor—basically, it just increases serotonin in your brain.

So nobody is sure why exactly it delays ejaculation—maybe it’s because of the higher serotonin, maybe it’s because it’s an opioid, and all opioids are known to delay ejaculation. Stuff like oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine, heroin—all that stuff, all that bad stuff—they all have this ejaculation-delaying effect, and tramadol is one of those.

Why Did I Take It?

So why did I take it? Well, I wanted to last longer in bed.

I read on a German forum that it can delay ejaculation, so I bought it online. I faked symptoms, I faked a prescription—don’t do it, yeah—and then I experimented with it. It was many, many, many years ago, before I learned to last longer without all that stuff.

How Does Tramadol Feel?

So how does it feel? I promised you to explain how it feels.

I took only doses between 25 and 200 milligrams, which is usually enough to last longer in bed and lose the erection. Um, so it feels like this—it’s slightly mood-boosting, makes you slightly euphoric, makes you bubbly—depending on the person. I was just chatting bubbly.

It reduced my hunger greatly and made me more extroverted—I’m usually a little bit introverted—but also it makes you less horny. I’m going to talk about it in a minute; it’s one of the main problems.

So I took it for about one year, and then I stopped. I was taking it on and off, but then I just got disappointed with it.

Okay, let’s dive into the five fat reasons why I stopped it, even though it delayed ejaculation for me.

5 Reasons I stopped Tramadol (Even Though It “Worked”)

#1: Killed My Sex Drive 😔

The biggest problem and side effect by far with tramadol is loss of libido, loss of sex drive. Tramadol flatlined my libido. Imagine:

• Mentally wanting to last longer…
• Physically not caring about sex.
• Weak, unsatisfying orgasms — like “a tiny ass firework.”

Sex felt pointless.

When I took it, I would sometimes have a girl over, coming over. I would be mentally excited about sex because yeah, I could finally last longer and stuff, but sexually, I could care less, yes. It’s like being starving at an all-you-can-eat buffet but having zero appetite—food’s there, but you just don’t want it.

I found myself very often in the situation where I would sit with the girl on the bed, on the couch, we would be just talking and bubbly, and I thought to myself, okay, I don’t need sex. It just—you don’t want sex.

If you take a high enough dose, then you just feel good, but you don’t want sex. And if you try it, you will have problems, and at the next point.

So yeah, and another problem is the orgasm is very weak on this stuff. It kind of—you have sex, you build up to the orgasm, but instead of this fireworks, you get this little tiny ass firework.

So that’s probably one of the biggest reasons why I stopped it because sex is pointless. It just makes little sense. You internally, naturally, you just don’t want it.

#2: Gave Me Erection Problems 🍆

The second problem, which is probably connected to the first one, is erection problems.

Tramadol + PE doses = limp disasters. If you take it, get ready for:

• Needing Viagra just to get hard.
• Even with Viagra having no sexual enjoyment.
• Mechanical, emotionless sex — like “weird motions back and forth.”

So if you take tramadol for PE, you’re going to have to use Viagra—you’re going to need Viagra or Cialis or something.

If you take high enough doses to delay ejaculation, your PP will have problems. Okay, if you’re a super animal who sees a chair and gets a boner, you might not have these problems, but if you read online, if you listen to me, trust me, you’re going to need some ED medication.

And the problem is this: if you take high enough doses of tramadol so you last longer, but you have erection problems, but then you take Viagra, then you have a boner, but you still don’t want sex really. It’s like having a shiny sports car with no gas—you’ve got the gear, but no drive.

I mean, mentally, you might have this thought like, okay, it’s cool, you know, I can last longer and have sex, but you don’t feel it. It’s like there’s no sexual enjoyment, like, oh yeah, sexy. No, it’s just weird motions back and forth.

So yeah, point number two—you’re going to have erection problems with tramadol, and you’re going to need Viagra, and you will not enjoy it.

A study from 2020 found this: 

"Erectile dysfunction and decreased libido occurred in 44% and 48% of tramadol dependent group respectively"

That's like HALF of all Tramadol (ab)-users having problems with erection and libido.

#3: Negative Impact on Fertility 👶

Point number three—fertility concerns. Tramadol, if you use it long-term, can have a negative impact on your fertility as a man. Here's the TLDR; for long-term tramadol users:

• Tramadol lowers testosterone 😑
• Reduces sperm quality/mobility
• Made me feel physically weaker (even at the gym)
• No thanks — I want kids someday.

I DO want to have children, so I don’t want anything to mess with that. 

It doesn’t have this direct negative impact on male fertility if you take it just shortly—it will not fuck up your fertility—but if you take it over the long term, since it’s an opioid, and all opioids have these long-term negative effects on all fertility markers.

For example, testosterone goes down, sperm mobility—what it’s called—sperm quality and quantity goes down, lowers testosterone, all that stuff.

Here's a quote from a scientific paper:

"Our data suggest that tramadol may impair male fertility by increasing oxidative damage of sperms and reducing testosterone and the antioxidants trace elements in testicular tissues." source

I really believe I felt weaker on tramadol, probably because of lower testosterone.

I don’t know why—you just feel weaker. Even if you work out, it’s like you don’t have this masculine power, you know, on tramadol. Might be connected to the lower testosterone.

#4: Addiction Concerns 🚨

Problem number four is addiction concerns. On tramadol, I personally never had any problems with addiction with tramadol or anything else—probably I’m not that person for that—but it’s still always in the back of your mind.

If you take it long-term, what if you end up getting hooked on it, getting addicted? So yeah, it’s causing you a little bit distress.

You always think about it, and then you read some stuff online—how addicted people behave, what problems they have with the withdrawals, how horrible it is for tramadol. And tramadol withdrawals—they are just horrible if you read about them online on Reddit or you watch some videos.

You definitely don’t want to end in such a situation.

#5: Other Annoying Side Effects 🤢

And point number five—some minor side effects which are unpleasant:

• Weight loss (bad for skinny guys like me)
• Constipation 💩 (opioids slow your gut)
• Itchiness (like ants under your skin)

Like I said before, my hunger is greatly reduced on opioids and tramadol and stuff.

And for me, it’s very important because I’m already skinny—I’m a skinny motherfucker. I mean, if I train, I can get some decent physique, but it’s a struggle for me to keep up the weight.

And if I take tramadol, I just lose weight very quickly. And some people get constipated on tramadol because it slows down digestion.

If you Google it, here's what you see:

Google: "Tramadol and other opioids cause the digestive system to slow down its normal function. And this causes stool to become dry and hard, which is constipation"

And also, another minor side effect of tramadol is the itchiness afterwards.

When it wears off, a couple of hours later, it’s kind of weird—all over the body is a little bit itchy, not very pleasant. And as I said before, I felt weaker on tramadol back then, probably due to lower testosterone.

How I Last 30+ Minutes Naturally (no pills, no numbing) 🌟

After ditching tramadol, I worked with a sex coach (a seducer with 1,000+ partners). It was a game-changer and a quick success after a few weeks. Here's the just:

Most guys obsess over physical tricks — but ignore the mental side. We fixed:

• My performance anxiety 🧠
• Limiting beliefs (“I’m broken”, "I am only a man if I perform well in bed" 🤦🏼‍♂️ etc.)
• Behavior during sex (rushing it, pacing, focus, arousal control)

Okay, so here's the full story.

Now, obviously, I stopped using Tramadol many years ago, I don't need it any more. 

I learned to last longer in bed without all that stuff, the natural way. At that time, back then, I had a sex therapist who was also a seducer.

It was not your typical sex therapist who forgot when was the last time that he had sex. I had someone who had a lot of experience, and he shared it with me.

He banged well over 1,000 girls, so he knows his stuff.

And we not only worked on the physical and technical side of things—which is the problem with most guys. For example, if you read all those posts, most guys are obsessed with physical technical stuff—what techniques do I use, stretching, pelvic floor stuff—and it seems to me like they absolutely ignore the psychological side of things, the behavior side of things, the mental, the mindset, the limiting beliefs.

All that stuff is insanely important—the anxiety stuff. So with my sex therapist or sex coach back then, we worked not only on the physical stuff but also on the psychological side of things, and it really was the missing element.

How I Help My Clients

And that’s what I do with my clients. I don’t work just on the physical stuff with them—on the technical, the techniques.

Of course, they get all the best techniques from me, which are proven to be the best, but also we take a lot of time to work on the anxiety, on the sexual behavior, and all that stuff, on the limiting beliefs. It’s super important—without it, all the technical and physical stuff will have no impact on you.

And also, since learning to last longer without all that stuff, I’ve had some amazing sex—hundreds of hours of amazing sex with all different kinds of girls—and it’s just different. On tramadol, if you have good sex without tramadol, you just enjoy it more.

You just feel it better, you enjoy the orgasm, you enjoy the buildup, everything. But with tramadol, it’s like all black and white, grayish, dull.

And like I said, with my clients, I always try to go the natural way as much as possible.

Sometimes it’s unavoidable to take some medicine because, for example, they already take some medicine like for epilepsy or whatever, but in the majority of cases, the natural way is the way to go, and it’s possible.

Case Study: Florian from Germany,  1 to 30 min

Just as an example, let’s check out the case of Florian. I remember this guy very well. His sex problem was lifelong premature ejaculation—one minute or less, erection problems, every relationship fell apart, women didn’t orgasm. And the solution was, in close contact with David, Florian implements all the steps of the Lover Stamina coaching program.

Florian learned all relevant mental and physical techniques until perfection, changed his limiting beliefs with my help, and changed his behavior during sex.

And boom—Florian now started having multiple girlfriends. Even to this day, I recently chatted with him—he still has one girl in one city, another girl in another city, with whom he has long-lasting sex and is giving them orgasms regularly.
