Premature ejaculation (PE) occurs in men of all ages. “Premature ejaculation” or “Quick Discharge” is ejaculation before the man wants it to occur—he is unable to control or delay the process.

Men who experience premature ejaculation frequently question their masculinity and lose confidence in their sexual performance, which often leads to feelings of lowered self-esteem. Furthermore, both partners suffer negative feelings about the experience, and the continuation of such a problem can lead to serious relational conflicts and more sexual problems in marital life. 

The problem can occur in all sexual situations, including masturbation or during sexual encounters with another person.

MYTHS & FACTS about PE

Myth: Alcohol, cocaine, and antidepressants are good ways to control premature ejaculation.

• Fact: These drugs are not meant to be taken to control premature ejaculation. They are not safe drugs to take.

Myth: Anaesthetic sprays or creams are good ways to control premature ejaculation.

• Fact: These products rarely, if ever, work. They numb the head of the penis as well as the vagina, detracting pleasure from both partners. As they numb the head of the penis, you never actually “get used” to the sensation of making love for long periods, and when you stop using them, the problem returns.

Myth: Premature ejaculation will not eventually cause erection problems.

• Fact: More patients who have suffered from PE for a long time eventually develop erection problems than those who can control their ejaculation. The reason is that the longer we can maintain our erections during lovemaking, the less likely we are to suffer from erection problems later in life.

Myth: Premature ejaculation is not a sign that there may be an erection problem developing.

• Fact: Premature ejaculation can be the first sign of an erection problem.

Myth: Premature Ejaculation will not affect your sex life.

• Fact: While you are making love, you are often worried that ejaculation may occur, making it difficult to relax and enjoy yourself. Also, your partner may not be getting the most out of their sex life, and they may avoid lovemaking for this very reason.

The Medical Definition and Commonality

The medical definition of premature ejaculation or PE is the persistence of recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation before, on, or shortly after penetration, and before the person wishes it to occur.

In common terms, PE can be defined as:

The inability to control one’s ejaculation.

Ejaculating before he is ready to or has satisfied his partner.

Ejaculating before or within several minutes after penetration.

How common is premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is very common; recent studies show that three out of ten sexually active men are affected by this problem.

What Causes Premature Ejaculation?

Various factors can increase your risk of premature ejaculation, including:

Impotence: You may be at increased risk of premature ejaculation if you occasionally or consistently experience impotence. Fear of losing your erection may cause you to rush through sexual encounters.

Health problems: If you have a medical concern that causes you to feel anxious during sex, such as a heart problem, you may have an increased likelihood of hurrying to ejaculate.

Stress: Emotional or mental strain in any area of your life can play a role in premature ejaculation, often limiting your ability to relax and focus during sexual encounters.

Certain medications: Rarely, drugs that influence the action of chemical messengers in the brain (psychotropic) may cause premature ejaculation.

Over-sensitiveness: Caused by a combination of an oversensitive glans penis (or head of the penis) and nervousness or performance anxiety during lovemaking.

Fear: The fear often stems from the previous experience of premature ejaculation.

Should Premature Ejaculation Be Treated?

How to treat premature ejaculation is a critical question for many men, and it is advisable to seek treatment for two main reasons:

First: Improve Enjoyment and Intimacy It is difficult to relax and enjoy lovemaking to its fullest, as most of the time you are preoccupied with trying to delay or stop your ejaculation instead of enjoying the pleasures of sex. Further, it is not uncommon for the unsatisfied partner to keep silent to avoid additional embarrassment. Only when PE is fully controlled and the lovemaking session is sufficiently prolonged for both you and your partner to reach climax can you both enjoy a more rewarding sex life.

Second: It is a Lifelong Problem Until Treated Premature ejaculation tends to be a lifelong problem until treated. While some lovemaking sessions may last a little longer than others, the problem essentially remains the same, limiting the full enjoyment of lovemaking. Some men consequently avoid forming intimate relationships or avoid socialising for that matter, while others may develop a tendency to avoid lovemaking or other forms of intimacy altogether, which, of course, tends to lead to further relationship problems.

If premature ejaculation is affecting your sex life or your relationship, or if you would like to achieve greater satisfaction during lovemaking, then you should actively seek PE treatment. The best reason of all, however, is that PE is easily treated (usually only one consultation is required) and once treated, it is unlikely to recur.
