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 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.
