What Causes Premature Ejaculation and How to Stop It?

Common Factors that Cause Premature Ejaculation and Treatment Methods

What do we call premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is one of the most common and serious problem experienced by a large number of men who are sexually active. This problem is defined as a condition when the male ejaculates quickly. In other words, premature ejaculation means that the man ejaculates before the woman reaches orgasm. Men reach the climax when they ejaculate, i.e. when the seminal fluid is discharged from the penis. Men who suffer from premature ejaculation reach the climax very quickly.

A huge problem associated with premature ejaculation is that this condition doesn’t allow both of the partners to enjoy the sexual intercourse. Thus, the man can’t feel proper pleasure because he is unable to prolong the sexual sensations, and the woman is dissatisfied because she can’t reach an orgasm.

Premature ejaculation describes a condition when the man ejaculates quickly but there is no description of how soon this happens. Actually, there aren’t any limitations in time according to which a man can be said to suffer from premature ejaculation. A previous definition claimed that we talk about premature ejaculation if the man comes within two minutes after the penetration. However, about 50% of all men ejaculate within this period of time and their partners are usually satisfied.

What are the causes of premature ejaculation?

There are many reasons that cause premature ejaculation. The most common include:

• Medical problems, such as diabetes
• Stress and anxiety
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Drug abuse
• Smoking

Thus, premature ejaculation may be caused by some medical conditions, including diabetes which can result in impotence. Stress and anxiety are also a reason for quick discharge. In addition, men who smoke can also have problems with early ejaculation. Some kinds of drugs may also trigger premature ejaculation.

In addition, young men who have sex for the first time may experience the problem because of great excitement which results in a quick discharge. In many cases young men have to perform the sexual intercourse secretly which requires quick ejaculation. This may become a habit in their life. Many studies show that premature ejaculation is more common among young men. Older guys have improved their performance and have learnt to control themselves and to delay ejaculations.

Effective ways to treat premature ejaculation

A very popular sexual technique widely used by today’s generation is the “squeeze” technique which may be a reason for premature ejaculation. The technique includes arousal by fondling the penis and squeezing its head with the thumb and the forefinger when the man is about to ejaculate. This doesn’t allow ejaculation, the penis gets limp and after a minute or two it is aroused once again. This procedure increases the value of arousal and the amount of semen that is finally ejaculated.

Sexologists say that one should be absolutely calm and stress-free when they have sex. It is important to concentrate on the sexual intercourse and not think about other things. Men who are sexually experienced can control sexual act and delay ejaculation by mind-control.

Another method to delay ejaculation is to masturbate a few minutes prior to the sexual intercourse because masturbation relieves frustration. In addition, when the man has already ejaculated once, he is able to have sex longer before he ejaculates again.

Foreplay is very important part of the sexual act that is often neglected. It is recommended to pay more attention to foreplay in order to fully arouse non-genital parts of the body, including the nipples, earlobes, nape of the neck, thighs, etc. Men would be able to delay ejaculation if they prolong penetration and if they pay more attention to other arousal body parts. It is also proved that talking with the partner while having sex can delay discharge.

Many people used to believe, and still believe, that alcohol can help delaying ejaculation. This belief was backed up with the fact that alcohol makes the nerves numb, but now it is proven that alcohol can’t help prolong ejaculation. In the first place, alcohol can be very dangerous for the overall health, so men should be very careful what methods of treatment they choose to use.

Men should understand that premature ejaculation is not a disease; it is a dysfunction. For this reason, this common condition can’t be treated with medications. So don’t trust the numerous charlatans that promise their miraculous pills would treat the problem. You better keep in mind that the longer a sexual act is the more pleasure it brings.
