To people hearing about it theoretically, premature ejaculation could look like a small problem. But to the people directly affected by premature ejaculation, the couple where the man ejaculates prematurely, this can be a devastating problem.
On the Man’s side
On the man’s side, for one, premature ejaculation means ‘inability to perform’. This is a huge blow to him, because men are very performance-oriented in their thinking. He may try to mask it, making it look as if he is in control of his attitude towards his premature ejaculation problem, but he still ends up feeling as if his worth as a man is in question. Then the fears set in, enhancing the psychological stress from the already bad situation that set in when the premature ejaculation started. Subconsciously, at least, the man wonders, for instance, whether his woman will end up straying; now that he is unable to satisfy her due to his premature ejaculation. If its quite a casual relationship he has – like those college students have with each other – the man ends up developing a fear, again at least subconsciously, that ‘news’ about his premature ejaculation may spread around and ‘dent his social resume.’
For a man, being a premature ejaculator ranks right up there with impotence for being a major sexual dysfunction. So, it is quite understandable that you would want to determine the cause of the problem, and seek to correct it.
Among the issues that can lead to premature ejaculation is smoking. It has been found that men who smoke more than ten cigarettes a day are at a greater risk of pre ejaculation. One positive aspect of this problem is that a simple means of how to overcome premature ejaculation is to quit smoking. Once the tar, nicotine and other chemicals in the cigarettes clear your system, the problem often clears, and you’ll find that you last longer in bed.
Research has shown that the vast majority of causes of premature ejaculation are psychological in nature. This is good news for most men, as it means that identifying the problem and dealing with it won’t include medicine, probing procedures or an operation.
With many people, their psychological issues originate in childhood, which is quite common. Therapists and researchers long ago realized that the events of our childhood: school yard fights, failures in class, disappointments with parents, and other events are very important in the construction of our psyche. For men, they typically discover sexual self-gratification (masturbation) when they hit puberty. In American society, we tend to frown on this act; many religions openly condemn it. So, boys learn to do it as quickly as possible, to avoid detection, and this can carry over to adulthood. When they begin to engage in sex with a partner, their body is used to climaxing quickly, and thus they do it without thinking.
Premature ejaculation is a relatively common sexual problem, where a man ejaculates too early into the sexual act, before he has had time to satisfy his female sexual partner. Such a man is said to be unable to ‘last longer’ or at least to last long enough to satisfy his woman. It is a problem that arises out of the understanding that a woman will typically require quite a long period of time in sexual intercourse, before she can attain an orgasm. Therefore if a man is unable to control his climax and ejaculates immediately upon penetrating his sexual partner (as some premature ejaculation sufferers do); or if he still ejaculates within just a few minutes of his starting to thrust, there is every risk that he would have left the female partner unsatisfied. A man’s ability to ‘last longer’ in bed is therefore considered highly desirable.
Premature ejaculation can be a very distressing problem to the couple where the man is afflicted of it. At the core of the problem is a case where a man is unable to keep himself from ejaculating, that is, to control his ejaculation; so that he ends up ejaculating before he has satisfied his woman sexually. Sometimes it can be so bad that the man actually ejaculates the moment he gets inside his woman, before he has even had the opportunity to ‘do anything to her.’ The ‘better’ cases are where a man is able to stay inside the woman for a few minutes before ejaculating. But these are really no better, because they only serve to raise the woman’s sexual excitement, and then fail to resolve that excitement, ‘leaving her hanging’ and frustrated.
When you’re faced with the problem of premature ejaculation, there can be a number of underlying causes. It can be something as simple as depression, or something as complex as a major illness; so identifying the problem and finding the means of addressing it is very important to delay ejaculation.
One very common problem is drugs. Whether taken for an illness, part of physical fitness or illicit drugs, they can play havoc with your hormone levels, and this can cause all manner of sexual dysfunction. Steroids are often used in physical training (and also very often abused), and they can raise the level of testosterone in your blood. As a result, you may find it difficult to last longer in bed, and pre ejaculation will be the result.
There are a number of factors that can contribute to a man suffering from premature ejaculation, and alcohol is one of the most powerful.
Ironically, alcohol can help a man in dealing with various kinds of erectile dysfunction: impotence and premature ejaculation. This is due to the fact that things like stress, depression, and other aspects of a man’s mental state can affect his sexual performance. So, in that case, a few drinks can help a man to relax, and thus make it easier for him to perform.
Men that suffer from premature ejaculation know the symptoms. The situation occurs when the man climaxes before the partners are ready. The fact that PE happens even with masturbation is something men do not discuss as most feel it is not a topic for discussion. This then leads to anxiety and frustration.
In medical terms, premature ejaculation falls into two categories, primary or lifelong and secondary or acquired. Based on the category the symptoms may be different for each man.
Among the problems that can lead to premature ejaculation are a host of medications, typically taken for other problems.
First off, if you suffer from lupus, MS (multiple sclerosis), or some other autoimmune disorder, your doctor will probably put you on some type of steroid. The reason for this is that these diseases tend to cause swelling in the body, in various organs, and steroids can reduce that swelling. Also, if you have cancer or AIDS, and have lost some of your lean muscles, steroids can help you put more muscle mass on your bones. A side affect of steroids is that they will boost your testosterone level, and this is the male sex hormone. If the level gets too high in your blood, you can end up with premature ejaculation.
When it comes to dealing with the issue of premature ejaculation, there are a number of methods to stop ejaculation, or at least delay ejaculation. The first step in dealing with the problem is seeking professional help to determine the underlying cause of the trouble. If the problem is something like prostate trouble (even cancer) then drugs, surgery or other treatments may be called for.
However, if there is a psychological aspect to the premature ejaculation, then something as simple as applying an anesthetic to an area of the body can be one of the techniques to prevent premature ejaculation short term. The anesthetic, normally in some sort of cream, can be applied to different areas of the body to be effective. As an example, smearing a small amount under the nose (on the upper lip) can have a soothing, calming affect on the body, and thus prevent premature ejaculation in the short term. Long term help for PE really comes through a sexual reeducation exercise program.
