If you are wondering how to not ejaculate prematurely, you're not alone. Premature ejaculation is a common complaint.
Premature ejaculation is a common sexual concern, which occurs in men when semen leaves the body (ejaculate) sooner than wanted during sex. Premature ejaculation is a common sexual complaint. As many as 1 out of 3 people say they have it at some time
Premature ejaculation is identified using the following criteria:
- Ejaculation occurs within one minute of penetration.
- Ejaculation cannot be controlled or delayed in all or most cases over a period of at least six months.
- It causes frustration, distress, and a tendency to avoid sexual interaction.
Premature ejaculation isn't caused for concern if it doesn't happen often. But you might be diagnosed with premature ejaculation if you:
- Always or nearly always ejaculate within 1 to 3 minutes of penetration.
- Are not able to delay ejaculation during sex all or nearly all the time.
- Feel distressed and frustrated, and tend to avoid sexual intimacy as a result.
Premature ejaculation is a treatable condition. Medications, counseling, and techniques that delay ejaculation can help improve sex for you and your partner.
Causes
Premature ejaculation is rarely caused by any underlying disease, structural abnormalities, or physical problems.
You're more likely to experience premature ejaculation when you're young and still learning about sexual activity and relationships, or at any age if you've had a long period of abstinence.
Psychological causes:
Psychological factors that might play a role include:
- Early sexual experiences
- Sexual abuse
- Poor body image
- Depression
- Worrying about premature ejaculation
- Guilty feelings that can cause you to rush through sex
Biological causes:
A number of biological factors might contribute to premature ejaculation. They may include:
- Irregular hormone levels
- Irregular levels of brain chemicals
- Swelling and infection of the prostate or urethra
- Inherited traits
Other factors that can play a role include:
- Erectile dysfunction: Being anxious about getting and keeping an erection might form a pattern of rushing to ejaculate. The pattern can be difficult to change.
- Anxiety: It's common for premature ejaculation and anxiety to occur together. The anxiety may be about sexual performance or related to other issues.
- Relationship problems:Relationship issues can contribute to premature ejaculation. This may be true if you've had sexual relationships with other partners in which premature ejaculation didn't happen often.
Symptoms
The main symptom of premature ejaculation is not being able to delay ejaculation for more than three minutes after penetration. But it might occur in all sexual situations, even during masturbation.
Premature ejaculation can be classified as:
- Lifelong:Lifelong premature ejaculation occurs all or nearly all the time beginning with the first sexual encounter
- Acquired: Acquired premature ejaculation develops after having previous sexual experiences without problems with ejaculation.
Risk Factors
- Erectile dysfunction:You might be at increased risk of premature ejaculation if you have trouble getting or keeping an erection. Fear of losing an erection might cause you to hurry through sex. This may happen whether you're aware of it or not.
- Stress: Emotional or mental strain in any area of life can play a role in premature ejaculation. Stress can limit the ability to relax and focus during sex.
When to see a doctor?
If you're experiencing premature ejaculation, you should consider visiting a urologist. See a specialist / professional healthcare provider if you ejaculate sooner than you should during sexual encounters.
A conversation with a healthcare provider might help lessen concerns. It is reassuring to hear that it's typical to experience premature ejaculation from time to time. It may also help to know that the average time from the beginning of intercourse to ejaculation is about five minutes.
