Early symptoms of any condition can help people take back control and reign in the problem before it gets out of hand. This approach works to pro-actively treat everything from Seasonal Affective Disorder to Type 2 Diabetes. But when it comes to problems with sexual performance, most people never think to deal with the problem until it’s full-blown. This is especially true when it comes to premature ejaculation.
The 4 Signs of Premature Ejaculation Most Men Miss
Most men think the time to treat premature ejaculation is when they begin to have a problem with stamina. While this is often the first sign men notice, it’s usually not the first symptom of the condition. Earlier symptoms, however, can be difficult to identify at first and are often thought to be attributed to some other condition. Being able to pick up on these early cues, however, can help many men nip the problem in the bud and develop a treatment plan that prevents bigger problems with performance.
- Diminished Stamina – At first, this may seem a bit obvious since early ejaculation is all about finishing too soon. But many men don’t notice the initial decrease in stamina until it becomes more pronounced. Every sexual interaction is different, of course, and men can’t be expected to perform the same each time, but any decrease in stamina or inability to prevent ejaculation is worth noting.
- Increased Sensitivity – Many men report an increase in penile sensitivity, even when they are not engaged in any sort of sexual activity. This could mean becoming aroused at the sight of sexy advertising or even after a sharp wind or shift in position. In some cases, the increased arousal happens on its own but involuntary emission is also likely to occur.
- Increased Levels of Anxiety and/or Stress – Stress and anxiety are both common causes of premature ejaculation and an increase in their levels should be dealt with as soon as possible. This could manifest as increased responsibility at work, a loss of income or a change in personal circumstances, for better or worse. Getting married, for example, is a joyous occasion, but one that carries the same amount of stress as losing your job or getting injured, according to the Holmes and Rahe stress scale.
- Inability to Focus / Racing Thoughts – This early symptom is often tied to an increase in stress or anxiety, but it can also happen independently. When engaging in sex, men and women should be able to quiet their minds and focus on what’s happening. But for men experiencing the early signs of early ejaculation, focusing on sex is difficult and their minds wander.
Taking the time to think about whether or not these early warning signs have been cropping up with regularity is a way for men to give themselves a quick sexual health check-up. If one or more symptoms occur on a regular basis, there are a few simple proactive steps men can take to deal with the issue immediately.
- A Diet Makeover – Nutrition plays a pivotal role in health, sexual or otherwise. Cut back on or eliminate completely processed foods and focus instead on whole grain, raw fruit and fresh vegetables. Even engaging in this sort of diet makeover for as little as two weeks can have a profound effect on health.
- Deal with the Stress – It’s impossible to eliminate stress completely, but it is important to find healthy ways to deal with it. Physical activity is by far the best way to relieve stress and an increase in exercise can also help improve circulation which, in turn, boosts sexual performance.
- Change Techniques – When increased sensitivity and reduced stamina occur, changing technique can help to alleviate the problem immediately. Changing positions or stopping penetrative sex in favour of oral sex or some extended foreplay can easily help me to regain control of their orgasm.
