why can't i orgasm when taking ecstasy?

[carwash]

last night i took a pill and was having fantastic sex but despite strenous efforts by both paties i couldnt orgasm. why?

[Pirotic]

you sound like you dont deserve one :P nahh.. i think Ecstasy releases all sortsa of hormones in your brain, one of them is probably the same which is released during an orgasm so you probably should have waited a bit longer before having sex for your hormone levels to return to normal.

Ecstasy messes about with your neurotransmitters. It doesnt release the orgasm hormone (oxytocin...the one that makes men sleep and women chatty) but it can mask out the mental cues that your brain sends (or rather your pituitary) to tell you to come. Pot can have much the same effect. Some antidepressants do the opposite, though. Loads of reports of men on tricyclics orgasming when they laugh , sneeze or hiccup.

This answer may offend, so look away now if of a nervous disposition ;o) If you're male, carwash (Sorry if this is well known, I'm a relative noob to the site), I'd suggest Viagra or one of it's clones. Me and my (male) partner regularly have sessions with E and have absolutely no problem in climaxing. Last session the total was something like 15 between us over a three day period. If you're a woman, I really can't help. Not one of my subjects, m'afraid ;o)

Sorry, should add: Always consult your doctor before taking any medications, and be very careful when taking V and E together... *phew*
