Premature Ejaculation Treatment

Whereas most people believe that premature ejaculation is all in the head, some men believe that it is both a psychological and physical problem. New studies suggest that premature ejaculation is a physical condition caused by several hormonal imbalances. With so many theories floating around from various unnamed sources, it is difficult to find out what exactly causes premature ejaculation and why it can affect your love life. However, the following explanations of the causes of premature ejaculation will help you to rule out some factors and pinpoint others that may be the cause of your problem. Once you find out this cause of premature ejaculation, it will be easier for you to determine what treatment will best suit you. Premature ejaculation is fairly common among young men. People who are having sex for the first time may find it hard to control their ejaculation, as they are not aware of their body’s control when it comes to having an orgasm. When you have sex on a regular basis, you can recognise your body’s pattern and recognise the signs that mean you are about to reach climax. Most tragic first-time sex stories revolve around the boyfriend losing his erection or ejaculating too early, sometimes before the actual intercourse takes place.

This is the most common cause of premature ejaculation. Regardless of your age, premature ejaculation can happen to you. If a man tries too hard to please his partner, or has other things on his mind such as being afraid of getting his partner pregnant, cheating or is anxious about contracting STIs, then the ejaculation process hastens and control over ejaculation time is radically reduced. Thrusting often makes it hard for men to control their ejaculation. Fast and deep thrusts stimulate the penis more than slower, shallow thrusts. Some men believe that the faster they thrust, the more their partner will enjoy sex. However, the deeper end of the vagina is not as sensitive as the first 2-3 inches, which is filled with sensitive nerve endings.
Practice and relaxation should help you deal with the problem. Some men try to distract themselves by thinking non-sexual thoughts (such as naming baseball players and records) to avoid getting excited too fast.

There are several helpful techniques you can try.
The "stop and start" method:

• This technique involves sexually stimulating the man until he feels like he is about to reach orgasm. Stop the stimulation for about 30 seconds and then start it again. Repeat this pattern until the man wants to ejaculate. The last time continue stimulation until the man reaches orgasm.

The "squeeze" method:

• This technique involves sexually stimulating the man until he recognizes that he is about to ejaculate. At that point, the man or his partner gently squeezes the end of the penis (where the glans meets the shaft) for several seconds. Stop sexual stimulation for about 30 seconds, and then start it again. The person or couple may repeat this pattern until the man wants to ejaculate. The last time continue stimulation until the man reaches orgasm.

Antidepressants such as Prozac and other selective seroto nin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may be helpful because one of their side effects is to prolong the time it takes to reach ejaculation.

You can apply a local anesthetic cream to the penis to reduce stimulation. Decreased feeling in the penis may delay ejaculation. Condom use may also have this effect for some men. Evaluation by a sex therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist may help some couples.
