Sexual performance issues can be a difficult problem to address. There’s a certain taboo about discussing this type of problem in public and many people feel shy or embarrassed even about discussing it with a doctor. For a problem like premature ejaculation, this can lead men to suffering in silence and simply hoping it will go away on its own. While some cases do dissipate over time, the condition usually requires some sort of proactive steps in order to address and resolve the condition. Here we’ll take a look at exactly what the condition entails, possible causes and what you can do about it.
How Quick is Too Quick?
Medically speaking, premature or early ejaculation is defined as occurring when ejaculation occurs less than one minute after penetration. It can also happen before you get anywhere near penetration and, for many men, it means never even getting out of the gate. Even for men who don’t meet this criteria, there’s a desire to last longer as most men know that’s what women want – stamina.
The Root Causes of Premature Ejaculation
The causes of this condition can vary from case to case. Typically, however, it is usually one of three potential causes:
- Stress / Anxiety
- Poor Diet
- Low Testosterone
These three major culprits lay the foundation for poor sexual performance in terms of ejaculating too early, lowering your libido and affecting your overall performance. There are a host of other potential causes as well, but tackling these three areas will let you rule them out as a potential problem which can make further treatment options easier to explore with a medical professional.
How to Tackle the Problem
Now that you have some idea where the problem is coming from, you can begin to take steps to resolve it. Each potential cause has its own set of suggested steps so take each one in turn in order to see what helps, what doesn’t and what has the biggest effect on your performance.
If you think your problem with premature ejaculation stems from excessive stress or anxiety, there are a few different approaches you can take. Stress and anxiety often go hand in hand and feed off of each other. Finding the real root of either can be difficult at first as they are often the result of complex emotional issues which can stem from your family, employment, financial concerns or just about anything else. One on one counselling can help you untangle the web and get to the root cause, and you can also try one of these proven stress busting approaches.
- Exercise – Exercise is, without a doubt, the most effective way to get rid of stress and lower your anxiety. This is especially true if you can get that workout in while being out in the sun. Sunlight promotes the production of Vitamin D which can help alleviate anxiety, tension and even depression.
- Mediation – Meditation is simply the act of sitting quietly and allowing your body and your mind to relax for a certain amount of time. Experts recommend meditating for 15 to 30 minutes a day for best results.
- Cleansing – Dump the burgers, quit smoking and swear off drinking for awhile. Even a two week cleans will help reset your body t its more natural settings and can have an amazing impact on your sexual health.
The cleansing approach to tackling stress and anxiety also helps to tackle the other major contributor to premature ejaculation – a poor diet. Cleaning up your diet will do more than just enhance your love life. Getting into a routine that involves plenty of leafy greens, vibrantly colored vegetables and fresh fruit will also detox your entire system.
Lowered testosterone levels must be checked by a medical professional and are often the cause of sexual dysfunctions in men over the age of 35. Having this check done is easy and painless and the results can shed light on other problems you might be having. This can also be the perfect opportunity to broach the subject of premature ejaculation with your doctor.
This natural approach to dealing with premature ejaculation can help rule out some of the more common causes and get you in better shape in terms of overall health. Many men find that a simple change in their every day routine is all it takes to improve the condition. For others, ruling these causes out makes it easier to discuss the issue with their doctor and explore their options for successful treatment.
