Premature Ejaculation

Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is a condition that affects three in four men. This condition can negatively affect sexual intercourse for most couples, but fortunately, it is easy to remedy. PE is characterized by ejaculation prior to the time required to satisfy the other partner because the occurrence leads to a loss of a usable erection.

Causes of premature ejaculation

Most experts say that premature ejaculation is caused by early conditioning. Boys and young men often go through the stages of sexual build-up and release for short periods of time in order to avoid detection. Going through this frequently can condition the individual to ejaculate prematurely in his subsequent sexual contacts with his partner. In other cases, the condition is thought to be partly hereditary in nature. Nerves also play a large role in premature ejaculation. A man who is nervous is more likely to come quicker than a man who is relaxed. This is often the reason most men resort to drinking a small amount of alcohol before intercourse to relax themselves and reduce the risk of coming too soon.

Remedies for premature ejaculation

Therapy is the main solution to premature ejaculation, where men are taught how to prolong the erection with the use of several techniques. These include stop and start technique, a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that involves addressing what has been causing PE, self-hypnosis, and relaxation therapy. Other methods that can help cure premature ejaculation include the use of herbal pills and powder, and muscle contractions. The use of anti depressant drugs is also another way to treat severe premature ejaculation. This is because delaying male climax is one of the most common side effects of these drugs. Because anti depressant drugs come with a number of side effects, these are only used as last resort treatments for premature ejaculation.
