You Cum...too early!

Premature ejaculation is where a man ejaculates (comes) too quickly during sexual intercourse. It is a common ejaculation problem nowadays…. Simply because….oh well.

There are two types of premature ejaculation:

Primary premature ejaculation – where you have had premature ejaculation since becoming sexually active.

Secondary premature ejaculation (also known as acquired premature ejaculation) – where you develop premature ejaculation after having a history of normal ejaculation.

The causes of primary premature ejaculation are often psychological, such as having a traumatic sexual experience at an early age. Secondary premature ejaculation can be caused by both psychological and physical factors. Physical causes can include diabetes, high blood pressure and drinking too much alcohol.

Delayed ejaculation

Like premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation can be caused by psychological and physical factors.

Possible psychological causes of delayed ejaculation are similar to those of premature ejaculation – for example, early sexual trauma, strict upbringing, relationship problems, stress, and depression.

Physical causes of delayed ejaculation include:

• ·         diabetes (usually only type 1 diabetes)
• ·         spinal cord injuries
• ·         multiple sclerosis
• ·         surgery to the bladder or prostate gland
• ·         increasing age

Many medicines are known to cause delayed ejaculation, including:

• ·         antidepressants, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors   
• ·         medications used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension)
• ·         muscle relaxants,
• ·         powerful painkillers

Treating premature ejaculation caused by psychological factors can be more challenging. However, most men who persevere with treatment have successful outcomes.

Self help

There are a number of self-help techniques that you can try before seeking medical help. These include:

• ·         masturbating an hour or two before having sex
• ·         using a thick condom to help decrease sensation
• ·         taking a deep breath to briefly shut down the ejaculatory reflex (an automatic reflex of the body, during which ejaculation occurs)
• ·         having sex with your partner on top (to allow them to pull away when you are close to ejaculating)
• ·         taking breaks during sex and thinking about something boring

If you are in a long-term relationship, you may benefit from having couples therapy….wondering what is that…Stay tune... You will be encouraged to explore issues that may be affecting your relationship and be given advice about how to resolve them. You may also be shown techniques that can help you "unlearn" the habit of premature ejaculation.

HAPPY EJACULATION!!!!
