Premature Ejaculation

Text size:

| Post a comment | Print | |

Overview
Premature ejaculation is a very common sexual disorder. When a male frequently ejaculates before he or his partner would prefer, this is considered premature ejaculation. Infrequent cases of this are normal, especially in young men.

Although the causes of premature ejaculation are not known, doctors believe that both emotional (i.e. guilt, anxiety) and biological (i.e. abnormal hormone levels, thyroid problems) factors contribute. Premature ejaculation is probably emotionally based if you have "secondary" premature ejaculation, meaning premature ejaculation has not always been a problem. Primary premature ejaculation means that this problem has existed since you first began having sexual contact (this includes masturbation).

Symptoms
While there's no standard for how long it should take a man to ejaculate, premature ejaculation is simply ejaculation prior to when the male or his partner wishes.

Treatment
There are a few things that may help. First, masturbate a few hours before intimacy with your partner. This will relieve sexual tension in the body and it will therefore take more time for arousal in the near future.

Daily Kegel exercises are another option. These exercises strengthen the PC muscles which contribute to control over the penis.

Antidepressants are sometimes prescribed because a side effect of these medications is delayed ejaculation.

You may also try the "Stop and Start" method. This technique involves sexual stimulation until the man recognizes that he is about to ejaculate. Remove stimulation for 30 seconds and then resume. Repeat until the desired moment of ejaculation is reached.

Finally, there is something called the "Squeeze Technique." This involves having your partner squeeze the penis where the head (glans) joins the shaft when you are about to ejaculate. Squeeze for 30 seconds and then resume intercourse. If the desire to ejaculate resurfaces, repeat the exercise.

Ask Your Physician
It is very important that a male and his partner have open communication if this problem exists. Premature ejaculation can put stress on a relationship and even cause fertility problems for couples trying to have a baby.

Talk to a doctor about therapy and treatments that may aid in your problem. It is estimated that one in three men have this problem, so do not feel embarrassed.

PREMATURE EJACULATION CURE:
Having suffered with this all my life I finally found only ONE thing that works for sure, Everytime.
PAXIL ... NO GENERICS ... ONLY TRUE PAXIL BRAND WORKS.
Not Zoloft, Lexapro, Wellbutrin, etc., and NOT just any (SSRIs)
I have tried them all.
I take 20 mg of Paxil 10-12 hours before sex and can last for at least 30 minutes. If I take 30 mg of PAXIL I will not cum at all. Experiment with your own dozage to get it right. I have tried everything. Everything mentioned here plus a lot of other stuff. If you truly have Premature Ejaculation none of the other things listed will work for you. I have been using it for 10 years with NO side effects. The best thing about this is you do not have to take it daily, just take when needed 10 hours before sex.

The key to stopping premature ejaculation is gaining control of your ejaculatory reflex. Due to excessive masterbation many men have trained to their reflex to release quickly causing premature ejaculation. I found a site that me how to retrain my reflex and now I can last as long as I want. Hopefully it can help you to.

Good advice.... in many cases, however, SSRIs are not strong enough to cure premature ejaculation...

Some men have certain ejaculatory "triggers" that if not corrected, will still lead to a premature ejaculation. Check this out:

There are many products out there that do help men last longer in bed but if you really want to cure premature ejaculation you should explore the natural alternatives before using pills, creams or sprays.
Kegel exercises to strengthen your PC muscles if one way; practicing techniques to control your anxiety and breathing also work in controlling your ejaculation.
Before you try any of the products for premature ejaculation take the free 2-week course Last Longer. You will last longer in bed by the end of the 2 weeks. If it doesn't work for you then you can numb your penis to your heart's content.

by lastlonger on January 9, 2010 at 6:06 AM

Before trying pills or sprays it's good to try curing premature ejaculation the natural way. Check out the free 2-week course Last Longer. You will last longer in bed once you are done with the course. You can always go back and purchase a desentitizer spray if the techniques in the course do not work for you.

by tanay2035 on February 11, 2010 at 8:33 AM

Premature ejaculation can be easily countered with patience, effort and knowledge. Informing yourself is the first step, and once you know about the problem, you are halfway there. Overcoming the mental and physical aspects of this problems are also much easier if both partners are involved, aware of the situation and open to discuss.
