If you react like I did, you may have little effect on penetrative orgasms but you may have the side effect that I continue to take it for (and will have to ask my doctor for a new Rx): Hyper-sexuality. The interest in all things sexual even if you've gotten off recently. Before Cabergoline, I would whack to orgasm while watching porn (remember, I had no penetrative orgasm), and turn off the porn ("disgusting stuff!") right after getting off. Now I am still interested, no longer want to turn off the porn or whatever and I can continue to view as long as I choose. I've even had seconds after a period of time while still viewing (getting to a repeat orgasm, also from masturbating or vibration).
Cabergoline works by suppressing the hormone Prolactin. Since there's a surge in Prolactin at the time of orgasm, the theory is that its suppression will stop the "OFF SWITCH" to sexual desire to allow the body to reset. I seem to confirm that theory in that my OFF SWITCH definitely is less sensitive to ejaculations now so my brain can stay interested.
