Premature ejaculation
What is Premature Ejaculation?
Premature Ejaculation (PE) is more than just a feeling of wanting to have sex longer. It is a physical condition that all men can experience. It has 3 main characteristics as follows:
- A short time between penetration and ejaculation (or ejaculation before penetration)
- A feeling that you cannot control ejaculation
- A lack of happiness or anxiety due to premature ejaculation
These problems cause dissatisfaction with sex and a decrease in the quality of life for both men and their partners.
Men with premature ejaculation have the same ejaculation mechanism as men without premature ejaculation, but ejaculation occurs much faster and is less controllable.
There are 2 types of premature ejaculation: the first type is premature ejaculation from the first time of sex (lifelong PE) and the other type is premature ejaculation that occurs after having had normal ejaculation in the past (acquired PE).
Premature ejaculation can be treated medically.
Many men with premature ejaculation just go about their lives and hope that it will get better over time. But it is important to know that this condition is treatable. Just go see a doctor.
What causes premature ejaculation?
Scientists now know that premature ejaculation is a biological condition that can be treated, and it affects a wider range of men than was previously believed.
Who is at risk for premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation has nothing to do with age. Research shows that men in their 50s experience premature ejaculation as many as men in their teens and early 20s. Premature ejaculation also crosses borders and cultures, with men of different backgrounds and cultures experiencing it at similar rates.
How long should normal ejaculation last?
The length of time it takes to ejaculate varies from man to man, and from one man to another, or in different situations, the length of time it takes to ejaculate can vary. Some men desire a longer sex life, even if they don’t have premature ejaculation.
Is normal ejaculation different from premature ejaculation?
Men with premature ejaculation have the same ejaculation mechanism as men without premature ejaculation, but it occurs much faster and less easily than men can control.
Normal ejaculation is a reflex action that is controlled by the brain and nervous system. The symptoms of premature ejaculation have been compared to sneezing. Sneezing is another reflex that is difficult to control. Premature ejaculation is similar, where a man knows he is about to ejaculate but cannot stop it.
Like sneezing, ejaculation is a reflex that is controlled by the brain and nervous system. Once it is stimulated, it cannot be stopped.
The Impact of Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation has both physical and emotional effects on men, and it can also have negative effects on their partners.
Premature ejaculation affects relationships
Premature ejaculation affects men both emotionally and physically. It can lead to low self-esteem, anxiety, embarrassment, and avoidance of sex. Premature ejaculation also affects their quality of life and satisfaction with their partners.
A recent survey of over 12,000 men found that those who suffer from premature ejaculation have a worse sex life than those without. Men who suffer from premature ejaculation often report less interest in sex, are less likely to reach orgasm, and have trouble maintaining an erection.
Men with premature ejaculation are more likely to be concerned about their relationships than those without, and sometimes avoid relationships or love altogether.
Even couples who are sexually satisfied with premature ejaculation may feel that something is missing in their relationship, which can affect their sex life.
How Does Premature Ejaculation Affect Your Partner?
Women with partners who experience premature ejaculation tend not to initiate sex because they are concerned that they are not performing well. Because their partner is unable to control his ejaculation during sex, the woman may feel that she and he are doing it wrong. Many women also report feeling angry and resentful because premature ejaculation makes the man seem selfish during sex.
Help Your Partner Who Experiences Premature Ejaculation
If your partner is having trouble controlling their ejaculation, whether before or after penetration, it is important to be there for them and offer them encouragement so they can overcome this obstacle.
Talking to your partner about premature ejaculation can be difficult, but if you can offer your support and be there for them through it, you can both get back to having satisfying sex.
