Is premature ejaculation really all that common?

In a word – yes, premature ejaculation affects about 30% of all men; so don’t be embarrassed about it. In fact, some researchers claim that it is a result of our evolution. They reason that male mammals that would ejaculate quickly could both impregnate more females and conclude the mating ritual before a predator came along to eat them.

When you suffer from premature ejaculation, you want to know why it is happening. There are tests to diagnose the problem to help you have a more satisfying sex life. To begin the process, you need to contact your doctor for the initial meeting. Your doctor will then begin a process of evaluating the situation.

During the evaluation, the doctor will do a physical to determine if there is a medical condition causing your premature ejaculation situation. A detailed interview regarding your sex life will be the major focus so be prepared to answer everything honestly to get to the root cause. The doctor will inquire about your health history. If the doctor feels it necessary, you may need to visit an urologist, specializing in the male anatomy as well as possibly seeking assistance from a mental health professional. Some men suffer from premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction so they may need to have blood tests to determine the testosterone levels as well as other tests for possible causes.

Men who are prone to premature ejaculation suffer sometimes from a psychological problem due to the hypersensitivity of the Glans. The issue is due to the brain being stimulated while sexually aroused and the brain sending signals to the penis causing the erection. After the message is received, the brain sends the message to throughout the entire body. When a man experiences premature ejaculation, he lacks the control of the arousal leading to hypersensitivity of the Glans.

When a man experiences this hypersensitivity the pre-seminal fluid is released from the Cowper’s gland to provide lubrication and cleanout the urethra tube within the penis. If the man fails to have the control over his senses, he will also ejaculate at this point instead of being able to last longer.

When a man becomes sexually aroused, he will emit a seminal liquid prior to ejaculating. This fluid is designed to be a natural lubricate and to clear the urethra tube in the penis of any remaining urine. It is a clear sticky substance with minimal sperm cells.
To understand more about the liquid, it is important to understand the mechanics of the male body and the natural occurrences involved with sexual arousal and activity. The male’s body is designed in an interesting manner that allows several body organs to participate in the sexual relationships.

The male penis has a tube on the inside called the vas deferens. This little tube goes from the penis into the body down to the seminal vesicles. Here is the production of the sperm and other substances in the seminal fluids. The organs that help create the semen are the prostate, the Cowper’s glans, vas deferens, and the seminal vesicles. The results of the combined fluids are the semen when ejaculated.
