Premature Ejaculation

What is Premature Ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation (PE) may sound like a teenager’s worst nightmare, but the reality of it affects males of all ages, as well as their partners. Primarily the failure to control ejaculation voluntarily, this may happen to any man at any given time and it is only considered a disorder when ejaculating prematurely becomes a regularity and a problem for a sexually active couple.

Many men actually experience premature ejaculation at least once in their lives, or rather ejaculate too soon during sexual intercourse, perhaps even before the act itself. Premature ejaculation is actually experienced by most men during their first sexual contact and is dependent on how long their sexual partner needs to be satisfied. Some men may orgasm within two minutes of penetration, yet have managed to satisfy their partner in that short period of time and therefore not have to worry about premature ejaculation. However, those whose partners take longer to orgasm will eventually agonize over their situation and then be open for treatment.

Also called early ejaculation, premature climax and rapid ejaculation, premature ejaculation has been categorized into two stages: primary premature ejaculation refers to cases wherein the patient has experienced PE from the very beginning, while secondary premature ejaculation refers to cases where PE is developed after a sexual history free of difficulties with ejaculation.

What is the Cause of Premature Ejaculation?

PE used to thought of as a psychological disorder, but research has found evidence that biological factors also come into play. Fluctuating hormones, unusual neurotransmitter levels, thyroid-related illnesses, diseases of the urethra and prostate and genetic imbalances all contribute. Premature ejaculation can also be connected to trauma to the nervous system and side effects from specific drugs and medicines. Although doctors tend toward the biological factors, when diagnosing PE, the patient is also encouraged to share possible psychological anxieties that could trigger the disorder, such as feelings of guilt, performance anxiety and erectile dysfunction. Finding your cause of premature ejaculation is extremely important in determining the correct treatment for you.

The Negative Effects of Premature Ejaculation

Aside from the obvious strain on your relationship with your sexual partner, another negative effect of premature ejaculation is it makes it difficult to conceive. This may even lead you to consider treatments for infertility as well.

Premature Ejaculation Cures

Premature ejaculation may be treated in several ways. The simplest would be visits with a sexual therapist, especially if the problem is psychological, although sexual therapy is also recommended for biological treatments to ease the patient’s anxiety about his condition. Couples counseling is also highly recommended not only to treat premature ejaculation but to prevent it from happening at all. Another easy treatment is an exercise regimen called the “Squeeze technique,” which is administered during foreplay, where you and your partner learn to literally squeeze the head of your penis to hold off ejaculation. Using the squeeze technique may be done several times before the patient gains the ability to control his ejaculation on his own.

Methods that are not 100% recommended but are advised anyway are the application of particular topical creams, especially lidocaine, which slightly numbs the penis and prevents ejaculation and taking antidepressants such as Zoloft and Prozac, which are known to delay orgasm and lower the libido.
