Ok, I know I came across a bit harsh in that first post, so I'd like to clarify a bit.

I think that jumping at a drug, whatever it is, to treat any problem you are having (essentially "self-medicating" your problems away) is lame. That's what I am so vehemently against, the tendency for people to just rely on drugs and nothing else to take away all their issues.

However, after thinking about things a bit more, I realize that I'm OK with this drug, IF a man first tries to deal with PE on his own, then goes to his physician to rule out any physical reason, and then goes to a thearapist to rule out any mental reason. Then, and only then, do I understand the need for the drug. Unfortunately, that is often not the case, and people aren't usually interested in getting down to the cause of the problem, they're just looking for a "quick fix" to get the problem to go away.

I also want to include the caveat that I am wary of drug companies to begin with because of my negative expierence with birth control and the reluctance of doctors to recommend IUD's to women, preferring to use drugs which can and do cause mental and physical problems.
