The Latest Breakthrough for Pharmaceutical Help with Premature Ejaculation

Pills

Doctors and clinicians all over the world have worked to find an effective treatment for one of the most common conditions worldwide: premature ejaculation. While this condition affects almost every man at some point, how it works and what can cause it continues to be a medical mystery. While diet, exercise and both emotional and mental health play a role in how often the condition strikes, it’s difficult for patients and their medical team to pinpoint and deal with the cause quickly. The longer the conditions goes on, the more stress and anxiety it can cause making the condition itself worse and hampering attempts to treat it effectively. One team, however, thinks they’ve finally made a breakthrough with a medication that could be a real game changer.

Blocking Those Feel Good Chemicals

When people have sex, there are a number of physiological responses that happen within the body. One of the most prominent is the creation of oxytocin which then binds with cells and helps to trigger ejaculation as well as that after-sex glow that leaves partners feeling contented, loved and bonded. The drug, which is being developed by a team in the United Kingdom and remains unnamed, targets this process and prevents the binding of oxytocin with cells as a way to postpone orgasm.

By blocking the binding of these chemicals with cells in the body, researchers feel they can help men last longer and delay their orgasm until they’re ready to climax. On the other hand, critics wonder how long the delay will last and whether or not blocking this process could also block the emotional connection oxytocin gives to both partners as a part of the sexual act. The drug, however, is still in the testing phase so this pivotal question has yet to be answered. Even if it does affect the emotional connection between partners, many still think the medication will be well received.

Worth the Risk?

While most people know that premature ejaculation is common, few understand just how devastating the condition can be. It goes beyond simply climaxing before a man or his partner is ready, it affects the relationship on a deeper level, often making each person feel isolated from the other, unable to open up and discuss the issue in a healthy way.

This is because of the incredibly intimate nature of the condition and the implied message it sends about a man’s overall virility. After all, a man who can’t last long enough to please his partner is often the punchline for jokes or the insult hurled in the heat of the moment. As a result, it’s a sore spot for many men, but especially for those who have to deal with it on a chronic basis.

For most men, treatment options for premature ejaculation include healthier lifestyle changes and better ways to deal with stress and these are the most common causes of the condition. Some medications have already been used off-label in order to prevent orgasm but these, too, carry with them a host of potential and unpleasant side effects including, ironically, a complete loss of libido. Still, men everywhere are happy to take the risk if it means they can last longer so it’s no surprise that many would also be willing to risk lessened emotional bonding in the name of better physical sex.

This latest breakthrough to treat premature ejaculation is being followed by men and the medical community all over the world. It holds plenty of promise for men who struggle with the condition and for whom other more natural treatments have proven ineffective. Still, the potential for diminished emotional connections brings with it a new concern over how couples will relate to one another if their oxytocin levels are being manipulated. While questions still remain, the drug offers hope for many as well as a new understanding of this complex condition.
