While premature ejaculation is common, it isn’t always well understood. Many men still hear the same old myths that used to run rampant. These misconceptions about
the condition not only make it more difficult for men to understand what they are going through – it can actually derail their attempts to treat the condition. With that in mind, let’s tackle – and demystify – these rumours and half-truths once and for all.
It’s Natural
Problems with sexual performance, including premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction are, in fact, a normal part of life. While it is a fairly natural reaction, that doesn’t mean men can shrug it off as “just one of those things”. Treating it like it isn’t a problem or area of concern can often make the problem escalate. Left unchecked and untreated, premature ejaculation can quickly derail a man’s sex life and even begin to chip away at his self-esteem out of the bedroom.
It Just Means You’re Old
While problems with sexual performance are more likely to happen as a man ages, it doesn’t mean he has to just sit back and put up with it. These days there are plenty of options when it comes to testing and treatment for problems regarding sexual performance. Many cities now have special male enhancement and sexual health clinics usually called “Low T” clinics. These medical offices focus on testosterone levels and how lowered levels can affect a man’s overall performance. Their focus is on sexual health and they often offer quicker appointments and a more focused treatment plan.
Your Partner is to Blame
This is a misconception that can truly hurt any man dealing with premature ejaculation. It also has absolutely zero basis in any truth. Your partner has nothing to do with premature ejaculation or any other form of sexual performance problem. They only way she could be playing a role in this is if your relationship is strained or troubled. Both stress and anxiety can trigger sexual performance problems, so if your relationship is out of whack, taking the time to communicate openly, clear the air and get things back to normal will go a long way in treating the condition and making it easier for you to try other treatments and find success.
Porn Made it Happen
Another common misconception is that pornography can trigger these kinds of problems. For a long time, people blamed just about everything on porn because it wasn’t something people discussed a lot and so it was easy just to make stuff up about it. While it’s true that overdoing it on pornography can exacerbate some problems or issues, it is only a part of a larger problem. If you feel you have been overindulging on porn then by all means cut back and take a break. But don’t think that by cutting it out, you will magically solve your problems. In fact, for some men, using porn and focused masturbation techniques is an effective way to actually treat premature ejaculation.
There’s Nothing Your Can Do
This is perhaps the most harmful myth when it comes to any kind of sexual performance problem and especially when it comes to premature ejaculation. These conditions can certainly make men feel helpless but that simply could not be farther from the truth. No matter what kind of problem you are experiencing or what the root cause may be, there is always something you can do. It may be actions you can take on your own to improve your diet, physical fitness or other issues that can improve your performance. It might also mean seeking out professional advice and help from doctors or other healthcare providers. But no matter what – you should never feel as though there’s nothing you can do. The first step is always resolving that you will take control of the situation and then it is just a question of finding the best way to move forward.
