Premature Ejaculation (PE)
Most men experience premature ejaculation (PE) at least once in their lives. Often adolescents and young men experience premature ejaculation during their first sexual encounters, but eventually learn ejaculatory control. Because there is great variability in both how long it takes men to ejaculate and how long both partners want sex to last, researchers have begun to form a quantitative definition of premature ejaculation (PE). Current evidence supports an average intravaginal ejaculation latency time of six and a half minutes in 18-30 year olds.
premature ejaculation (PE) is a common sexual disorder. Estimates vary, but some experts think it affects as many as one out of three men. Even though it's a common problem that can be treated, many men feel embarrassed to talk to their doctors about it or seek treatment.
Once thought to be purely psychological, experts now know that biological factors also play an important role in premature ejaculation (PE). In some men, premature ejaculation (PE) is related to erectile dysfunction. You don't have to live with premature ejaculation — treatments including medications, psychological counseling and learning sexual techniques to delay ejaculation can improve sex for you and your partner. For many men, a combination of premature ejaculation (PE) treatments works best.
If the premature ejaculation (PE) occurs so early that it happens before commencement of sexual intercourse and the couple is attempting pregnancy, then pregnancy is impossible to achieve unless artificial insemination is used. Perhaps the most affected organ system is the psyche of the partners. Both partners are likely to be dissatisfied emotionally and physically by premature ejaculation (PE).
premature ejaculation (PE) has historically been considered a psychological disorder. One theory is that males are conditioned by societal pressures to reach climax in a short time because of fear of discovery when masturbating as teenagers or during early sexual experiences "in the back seat of the car" or with a prostitute. This pattern of rapid attainment of sexual release is difficult to change in marital or long-term relationships. The fact that female arousal and orgasm require more time than male arousal is being increasingly recognized, and this may result in increased recognition and definition of premature ejaculation (PE) as a problem.
Sometimes men become quick ejaculators because of partner pressure to "get it over and done with". Whatever the original cause, the body gets used to responding quickly and premature ejaculation (PE) becomes the norm.
Very occasionally, premature ejaculation (PE) results from a physical condition such as a urinary tract or prostate infection. Recent research suggests that some men may have a physiological predisposition in the nervous system to ejaculate quickly. But for most men, premature ejaculation (PE) will often be quicker in times of stress or ill health.
It's possible that your premature ejaculation (PE) has gotten so down that you are withdrawing from sex. If so, that can be easily remedied. Quite often, when a man gains good ejaculatory control, he suddenly becomes much more interested in sex. And even if he doesn't, it might be nicer for both of you if he lasted longer.
