How to Differentiate Between Premature Ejaculation and Low Stamina

Difference Between Premature Ejaculation and Low Stamina

People talk about premature ejaculation so much that one has to wonder, how long is premature? Is only lasting 10 to 15 minutes considered too quickly? We can read everywhere just how common that problem is, and how damaging it can be to a relationship. What if we suffer from that condition without actually realizing it? Not so fast.

When You Have Premature Ejaculation, You Know It

Premature ejaculation is similar to an orgasm not only because it is actually one, but also because when you have it, you tend to know it. Having an orgasm at the end of a 10 to 15-minute sexual encounter is probably not premature ejaculation. But how can we tell the difference?

Your Sexual History

There are no rules written in stone when it comes to premature ejaculation, nor there are charts that would tell you what is considered “too quick”. For someone three minutes could be alarming, for others it could be a great accomplishment. It comes down to your personal sexual history. How you performed in the past, compared to your current and future performances can help you determine if your problem is a more serious issue, or maybe just a temporary setback.

The truth is that most men tend to lie about this stuff, so it’s really not beneficial to listen and compare yourself to them based on their stories. Chances are they are lying through their teeth. It is entirely possible to go all night or longer periods of time, but not in a way some people would want you to believe. These encounters are more boxing matches than they are marathons, with a lot of resting periods.

Studies Already Figured This Out

Studies have actually shown us that the average sexual encounter with actual penetration lasts – on average – less than five minutes. The rest consists of changing positions, talking, or enjoying the foreplay, which can last from minutes to hours, depending on one’s personal preference and their partner’s intentions. The average length of sex counting non-penetrative moments is about 20 minutes on average, perfectly demonstrating that most people prefer a quicker – though not too quick -, and preferably more passionate escapade.

When to Worry

If your performance is in line with your sexual history, or there are only minor differences, you likely have nothing to worry about. It is when the two aspects don’t match you should start being more proactive, and deal with the problem before into turns into something more serious. If you are not satisfied with the quality and length of your sexual endeavors and you feel that you are likely the source of the problem, it is time to get into action.

The Usual Tricks Tend to Work

A visit to the doctor always worth the effort, even if you don’t suffer from premature ejaculation. It is best to start with that, and gradually do more for your health and sexual performance while following doctor’s orders. Even if you eat healthy, there are probably aspects you can change, like tweaking your carb intake or drinking more fluids. No one follows a perfect diet so mix it up a little, and you should see the benefits pretty shortly.

Even if you don’t do anything else but reduce your sugar and fat intake that can go a long way. The other change that can offer you plenty of benefits on the stamina front is exercising. Once you are able to increase your activity levels, your body starts to react. Your muscle mass increases, your circulatory system improves, and depending on your caloric intake, you may start to lose the excess weight. Each of these benefits can have an impact individually, so when you can combine them, you may look forward to a rapid improvement in your stamina levels. That alone can make you less susceptible to premature ejaculation. Make these changes today, and get rewarded for your efforts.
