So, you’re finally together with her in bedroom (kitchen or anywhere you both want to have sex) and this is the time when you are going to show her, what a real man means. But as soon as you start, the end comes immediately. She’s furious and not satisfied at all, and this is probably the last time you see her. But what is it? No, it’s not a kind of male menopause. This is premature ejaculation. But it doesn’t mean a premature end of your sex life. All men at some time of their lives experience this condition due to certain reasons, no matter how physically active they are and what their testosterone levels are. But if this happens regularly, something should be done with it.
What Is Premature Ejaculation?
According to one of the definitions, a man suffers from premature ejaculation, if he ejaculates before his sexual partner in more than a half of all times they have sex together. Other sex researchers claim, that premature ejaculation is a situation, in which the man ejaculates after two minutes of penetration.
Who Is Affected by Premature Ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation, or early ejaculation, may strike men of all ages. It affects about 35% of all men. But at least once in life every man experiences this problem. It often occurs to young men during their first sexual experience.
Why Premature Ejaculation Occurs
First of all, psychological factors contribute to the condition. Although most men underestimate the importance of emotions in sex life, they influence a lot. Stresses, conflicts with the partner, depression or common tiredness may lead to early ejaculation.
Premature ejaculation may also be caused by extreme arousal. If this is the case, then you’re lucky with the woman you have sex with.
How to Treat Premature Ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation can be normally easily treated, as it is a “brain” condition. The treatment usually involves sexual therapy, psychotherapy and medications.
- Sexual therapy helps to control ejaculation. Sometimes it consists of simple steps, such as avoiding sex and focusing on other kinds of sexual play for a particular period of time or even masturbation a certain time before sex.
- Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, means talking to a mental health professional about your relationships and problems. This may be a good way of managing stress, which is one of the main causes of early ejaculation.
- Medications involve antidepressants, which have delayed ejaculation as side effect, and local creams which dull the sensation of the penis and also delay ejaculation.
- In some cases just a certain type of condom could help.
You may try a few treatment methods before you and your doctor find the one most appropriate for you. Anyway, if you want to find a treatment of early ejaculation, consult your doctor first.
Steroids and Premature Ejaculation
There’s no evidence, that taking anabolic steroids may affect male health in the way that one would develop premature ejaculation. But, unfortunately, more serious conditions such as troubles achieving erection may be a side effect of the long-term steroid use.
