Premature Ejaculation Is A Prevalent Problem


Premature ejaculation is the most common of all male sexual dysfunction problems. It impacts approximately thirty percent of all men under the age of forty-five. Premature ejaculation is defined as a man reaching the point of climax before he and his partner wish it to happen. For instance, the man may ejaculate just before or immediately following vaginal penetration.

This problem can put a strain on even the healthiest romantic relationships because it is difficult to talk about. The female partner often feels frustrated and may think her boyfriend or husband should be able to control his orgasms. The man generally feels sexually inadequate because he cannot please his partner.

Causes

Premature ejaculation is not generally caused by an anatomical or structural problem. Instead anxiety and overstimulation are thought to cause the problem. It is more likely to happen to very young men who have not yet developed techniques to control their orgasms. A sex therapist or psychiatrist can often find the cause of premature ejaculation simply by talking to the couple.

Behavioral Modification Techniques

Anybody who experiences the problem of premature ejaculation can learn some simple behavior modification techniques for better control. Deep breathing during love making can help the male partner to relax and calm down, as can thinking about non-sexual subject matters.
Another behavioral modification technique to control premature ejaculation is the process of stopping and starting. With this technique the male partner stops sexual stimulation for thirty seconds whenever he feels his body near the point of orgasm. After waiting for thirty seconds the sexual stimulation can start again.

Some men find that a behavioral modification technique that involves withdrawing the penis and gently squeezing it where the head meets the shaft helps to delay orgasm. With this technique it is important to wait for several seconds after squeezing before recommencing with intercourse.

Other Treatments

Serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as Prozac are often used to treat premature ejaculation. Prozac and similar antidepressants often have the side effect of delaying orgasm. However, some people are reluctant to take an antidepressant medication to treat a sexual problem.
There are alternatives to the use of Prozac when it comes to controlling premature ejaculation. Serotonin rich foods such as bananas, avocados, pineapples, tomatoes, plums, walnuts, pecans, eggplants and whey protein may help with the problem. Some people find that supplements such as pure fish oil, 5HTP and L-Tryptophan are also beneficial.

The Good News

Provided a man practices behavior modification techniques he can usually overcome the issue of premature ejaculation in time. The older a man gets, the easier it becomes for him to control his orgasms because he learns how to relax, distract himself and take his time. Furthermore, there are other sexual techniques that can be used to bring a woman to orgasm besides vaginal penetration. If a man has learned alternative methods for giving his partner pleasure then premature ejaculation needn't be a disaster.
