Early ejaculation could be depressing for a man and a critical turn-off for most women. Thus, having full control over your ejaculation allows you to have the confidence to last long enough for your partner to have an orgasm during sex. Premature ejaculation has however posed and still poses a major challenge to most men today and has led to many relationship problems and breakups. This article, therefore, aimed to discuss what premature ejaculation is and how common it is, the causes, impacts, and treatment methods available.
What Is Premature Ejaculation?
When it comes to defining Premature Ejaculation, there’s medically no exhausted definition for it. While generally many have agreed with the definition of Premature ejaculation as male dysfunction where a man cums sooner than when her partner would like it. This definition has posed the problem of the question of when exactly is considered as “sooner”? And while most people agree that a man cumming within first 15 seconds into penetrative sexual intercourse can be termed premature ejaculation, some others have posited that what’s premature ejaculation depends on the preference and sexual pleasure of the partners.
In other words, if couples are honestly satisfied with climaxing within the first two minutes of having sexual intercourse then it is not premature ejaculation; on the other hand, if couples do not desire their partners to climax yet even if it is ten minutes into sexual intercourse and such happens, and they are not satisfied, that might be seen as premature ejaculation.
Therefore, what’s true about premature ejaculation might just be a matter of respective couples’ perspective but generally climaxing within the first fifteen seconds of penetration during sexual intercourse by a man is deemed as premature ejaculation which needs to be attended to before it causes more harm and emotional breakdown.
What Are The Possible Causes Of Premature Ejaculation?
Most studies have shown that one out of every three-man experiences premature ejaculation in US and according to American Urological Association, premature ejaculation is the most common type of sexual dysfunction in men and one out of five men between ages 18-59 years have an incidence of premature ejaculation at some point in their life.
Although there is no universal definition to diagnose it, causes of premature ejaculation may include a combination of chemical, biological and psychological factors. While chemical factors may include hormonal problems such as low serotonin and dopamine levels. This is because these hormones play significant roles in ejaculation; Biological factors may include but are not limited to erectile dysfunction, poor response of the body to serotonin; the chemical which helps transmit signals required to delay ejaculation, infection of the prostate and extra sensitive penis. Similarly, psychological factors may also include depression, stress, relationship issues, and performance anxiety which could come as a result of nervousness of being with a new partner or as a result of having sex again after a long period.
It however must be noted that the causes of premature ejaculation more often than not tend to be mostly biological than psychological.
Impacts Of Premature Ejaculation
Premature Ejaculation can have several negative consequences on the sexual relationship of a man. It can lead to having less frequent sexual activities along with anxiety over having sexual intercourse with your partner.
It can also lead to having security issues in your relationship due to the fact that your partner gradually becomes less satisfied sexually thereby causing distress to partners as they may feel rejected as a result of the embarrassing situation.
This can also lead to a series of emotional relationships issues between couples and the worst of it all is that it may culminate in reduced self-esteem for the man. Partners may even seek more pleasurable adventures outside the relationship and cheat which in turn leads to the relationship coming to an abrupt end and this often hurts so much causing huge emotional pains and breakdown.
How Can Premature Ejaculation Be Completely Cured?
Premature ejaculation can usually be really frustrating but it is not a cause for concern as it is totally curable. There are various treatment measures available in order to eradicate premature ejaculation and make you become the confident and proud man you desire once again. They range from behavioral therapies and exercises to oral medications. Behavioral therapies include but are not limited to; the “Start and Stop” method, where the partner stops sexual stimulation for some seconds when he senses that he’s about to shoot for the contraction in the pelvic region to relax and then continues thrusting again.
Also, the “Squeeze” method helps in the temporal delay of ejaculation, as the man gently squeezes the cap of his penis during sexual intercourse for some moments when he senses that he is about to cum. This will help to relax the erection and thus delay the semen from pumping out.
These two methods have been proven to be very helpful over time, however, they can be disappointing in the long run as they may be time-consuming and requires a willing and understanding partner.
Similarly, regular exercises such as Kegel and squats have been proven to help a great deal in treating premature ejaculation in men as it strengthens the pelvic region and increases the release of testosterone in men.
Moreover, it is important to reduce the amount of intake of canned or processed foods and eat more natural foods and vegetables.
You can also take oral medications in the case of persistent premature ejaculation. Some of these medications may include but are not limited to antidepressants, testosterone boosters such as Ageless Male, Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SRIs) such as Paroxetine commonly known as Paxil. However, some of these medications may cause side effects such as nausea, dry mouth, decreased sex drive and even complete lack of ejaculation. Therefore, it is important and advisable to seek the advice of a licensed physician before using them to make sure the benefits super outweigh the risks.
You can also visit your doctor for a medical examination and more importantly it is great to muster the courage to discuss with your partner your sexual issues and preferences with the goal to resolve them amicably.
Conclusion
Premature ejaculation is not a disease as most men see it as immediately they discover it, it is treatable and also not a badge of social stigma either. With adequate medications, exercises, and even counseling in order to remove negative feelings. You’d become the apple of your woman’s eyes again and ride her so hard till she squirts!.

100% Involuntary kegels are the enemy. I notice them just sitting on my chair and shifting around at times. During edging, it is very difficult to stop them. Breathing only goes so far. I feel that if I could stop them altogether that PE would not be a problem.
