Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation occurs when a man having sexual intercourse ejaculates too soon for him or his partner to have a satisfactory climax to the sexual act. This is rarely due to an abnormality in the penis or reproductive organs but is caused by inability to control the timing of the ejaculation. This is a psychological condition that many times begins in adolescence from fear of contracting a sexual disease, fear from making the partner pregnant, fear of poor performance and many other anxieties. This may carry over into adulthood and be intensified. Premature ejaculation can be a serious problem in marriage or relationships in which the woman becomes frustrated and resentful.

Treatment from a therapist who is an expert on sexual problems will be beneficial. In addition, a man can improve his ability to delay an orgasm by practicing the technique of building up stimulation to his penis until it builds up near to the point of orgasm, then suddenly stop and delay further activities for a short time of twenty or thirty seconds then again start the stimulation to his penis. This can be done manually or during sex with a partner. After doing this exercise for a few times, the man will be able to build up to a high tolerance of excitement, which will enable him to go several minutes before having an orgasm. If this exercise doesn't work or if therapy counseling is not effective, there are options under a doctor's care that may help, which may include drugs. A healthy lifestyle of exercise, proper nutrition and weight control will always help and should be tried before treatment with drugs.
