What is Premature Ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation, the most common form of sexual dysfunction in men, is when ejaculation occurs before or soon after penetration.

What causes premature ejaculation?

The exact cause is not known. Some sex experts believe that premature ejaculation may be caused by the young man’s early conditioning:

• Rushed early sexual experiences may have been the norm to avoid being noticed. There is a belief that this conditions him to climax quickly.
• Other possible factors are excessive or inadequate arousal, or muscular tension.
• PE is strongly linked to performance anxiety. Performance anxiety occurs when men become fearful of failure or embarrassed that they cannot achieve or maintain erections.

So what can be done for Premature Ejaculation?

If it happens only infrequently, it’s not a cause for concern. However, if on a regular basis the male ejaculates quickly, such as before intercourse begins or shortly afterwards it can be considered premature ejaculation.

It can be psychological or physical so a check up with the GP is the first step to rule out physical problems.

If it is a psychological problem, there are effective treatments for premature ejaculation. The Masters & Johnson method has proved to be helpful for the majority of men. If Premature Ejaculation is causing you a problem, it is best to have a professional consultation.

You shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help – premature ejaculation can be treated successfully.

Many men live with PE for years without seeking professional help, because of shame, embarrassment and a strong belief that PE cannot be treated successfully.
