Read the comments. While I have sympathy for this gentleman, I don't think he understands the whole picture. Ahem.
He prescribed a medicine to help me with my symptoms. I can't remember the name, but I know it belonged to a class of medicines called Alpha Blockers.
One thing about this medicine, the doctor said as he typed the prescription into the computer. There's a chance it can cause retrograde ejaculation.
Um...what? I asked. I obviously knew what ejaculation meant but retrograde could've meant anything.
Dry orgasms. No seminal fluid, he said. In more specific terms, retrograde ejaculation is when semen gets sent into the bladder rather than out into a sock, condom, or, if you're lucky, a crevasse belonging to your significant other.
I was weirded out but he said there was only a chance, right? So that meant there was a chance it didn't cause retrograde ejaculation.
This pathetic bit of self delusion lasted until my first jerk-off session on the medicine. I felt the familiar build-up of pleasure and tension (I call it plension) and then... nothing. Not only was there no semen, there was no electric rush, no hip-bucking, and no release.

        The first comment tried to set him straight on that accord but since it's a woman, he's not going to believe a word she says. He'll ask his buddies who are all as clueless as he is.
