You will have to do your own research, of course, but some ideas include
1) try Supplement stack 1) L-Arginine, 1000mg Strength, Taken 1 time daily = 1000mg (nitric oxide precursor for ED) (2) Zinc, 50mg Strength, Taken 1 time daily = 50mg (3) Pygeum, 100mg Strength, Taken 2 times daily = 200mg (4) Lecithin, 1200mg Strength, Taken 1 time daily = 1200mg
The pygeam and lecithin increase size of load, which for me increases desire. Maybe add bromelain for to improve taste of load.
2) Timing of ssri: take after the time you normally would be having sex. Seems that some side effects of ssri such as low libido or ED may be impacts by timing of dose.
3) Use viagra or similar
4) see a therapist and see if there is treatment than can help you reduce or eliminate your symptoms to an extent you can wean off ssri.
Good luck!

It’s probably the antidepressants.

Pancake sex. This happens to me as well. I normally tell my partners that first time sex is like the first pancake. It might not come out right, but it's still good and the rest get better.
I think I'm nervous because I don't know what to do with this particularly person yet. As we spend more time together, that quickly goes away.

I had this exact issue with hookups for a while. Lay off the coffee that is definitely not helping, as far as SSRIs i doubt its impacting it if you're fine when you are alone. Viagra and supplements will not work if your mental is whats holding you back. I went through over a year of figuring shit out with my doctor and it ultimately came down to stress/nervousness. You need to find a way to calm down and remain stress free whether that means taking longer to get to know the person, abstaining from any masturbation/porn, weed, or whatever works for you. What worked for me was going full abstaining from any porn at all, and doing my very best not to get in my head during hook ups. Instead of worrying about pleasing her I just focused on myself enjoying her. Good luck you'll get over it, especially with more and more hookups eventually you'll care a lot less.

You need stronger legs and the rest is performance anxiety, the first will take care of the second.

If you have strong legs and good circulation then I don't know what would help.

Zoloft is known to cause similar problems.

Interesting. I had the same thing happen. Positive it’s because I was in my head and I felt pressure. I’ll try the viagra tip.
Also, no one may mention this but it never happens if I’m going bare. It’s an issue because I get used to a consistent partner where we trust each other to not feel each other completely. Then when it’s a new girl and I have to use a condom, I’m not as excited no matter how she looks. Sometimes even if she’s super tight. Unless she’s all over me.
I wish I could make these girls foreplay me instead of the other way around lmao
Edit: Was reading about assuming attraction and realized I let that part of my game get a lot weaker over time. Gotta tighten up on that and it may help all the other issues including this one.

Stop drinking coffee before attempting. Caffeine increases blood pressure by constricting blood vessels. An erection requires a relaxation of muscles to allow blood to enter penis. By drinking coffee you are keeping blood from flowing into penis.
Don't take any supplements of any kind while on zoloft. Only a few known substances help erection and those are by prescription only.

It’s possible it could be the Zoloft but if you want otc viagra get horny goat weed but you have to take like 4x recommended dose or just buy cialis or viagra online

Dude you’re not alone. I have plenty of experience but it happens to me with new girls too.
It’s the connection part of it. If I feel a connection with the girl (even superficially) or I can feel their desire then I have no problem.
Even with girls I know and have a friends connection with, I have to feel that sexual connection to get my partner in crime to work as a unit.

Stop watching porn for 90 days and the problem should resolve itself.

Serotonetgic drugs (like the one you're on; SNRIs) have been known to cause sexual side effects. Sexual desire and arousal are linked with more dopamine. Wellbutrin is an antidepressant that acts on dopamine (DNRI) and may be a good compliment to your current medications to curb sexual side effects of traditional antidepressants.
