Premature ejaculation is a common problem which affects nearly every man at one point or another. The condition is so common that Google reports nearly half a million searches conducted for it on a monthly basis and a wide variety of supplements and eating programs have been developed to help men who deal with it on a chronic basis. Spreading information about the condition and helping men with ways to treat it on their own is a step in the right direction but, ultimately, finding the root cause is the best way to develop a long term solution if the problem occurs often. Here we’ve rounded up five different Causes of Premature Ejaculation which might surprise you and how best to tackle each one.
Coitus Interrupts
Sexual maturity happens at a rather young age. When men reach late adolescence and their early 20s they often go through a phase where they simply can’t think of anything other than sex. During this period, sexual contact tends to be frantic, covert and can be interrupted at any time. The term Coitus Interruptus is a fancy (aka Latin) way of saying ‘You didn’t get to finish’. If this happens often enough, especially during this period of a man’s life, experts believe it may make him more likely to suffer with premature ejaculation later in life as his body has been trained to act quickly. Engage in extended foreplay and slow sex in order to show your body – and your psyche – that there’s no need to rush things. This method can take time and you may want to use numbing agents, cock rings or other devices which prevent your from climaxing too quickly.
Masturbation
Masturbation can be a part of a healthy sex life but relying on it too much can make it more difficult to perform with a partner. That doesn’t mean you have to adopt a Hands Off policy, but keeping your solo habits in check can go a long way to helping with performance. In fact, some forms of masturbation can be used as a therapeutic way to improve stamina. Controlled orgasm with masturbation, for example, is a well-known and widely used treatment for premature ejaculation.
Your Relationship
Stress within your romantic relationship can cause a problem all their own. Sometimes it’s left over tension from a sudden argument and other times it’s a build-up of chronic miscommunication or other interpersonal problems. Dealing with issues inside a relationship often means working with your partner either with a therapist or by going through therapeutic exercises on your own. Involving your partner in treatment options for early ejaculation can be awkward at first but, in the end, including her can actually give your treatment choices a great chance of success since you’re able to share the burden, and the stress of dealing with this common but troubling condition.
Low-T
Testosterone is the hormone which regulates a number of male characteristics. Commercials, articles and segments on television shows about “Low-T” discuss symptoms such as fatigue, irritability and mood swings but may not mention the sexual performance side effects associated with low testosterone levels. While this condition is more likely to occur in older men, it can affect men of any age or physical fitness level. If you’re concerned about your hormone levels, consult a doctor to schedule for a screening.
Your Job
Stress is the leading cause of many sexual performance issues, including premature ejaculation. In fact, stress from work tops the list as potential causes for this type of condition, particularly if it seems to come out of nowhere. Resolving stress at work is no small task but dealing with a difficult co-worker, addressing concerns with your boss or even changing careers entirely is a small price to pay when it comes to improving your sex life.
These common situations are often overlooked as potential causes for premature ejaculation since they are part of daily life. However, stress, anxiety and low-grade medical issues can pile up when left unchecked which can lead to more serious issues. Tackling the immediate symptoms and effects of sexual dysfunction will help to keep your sex life on track but finding and dealing with the root cause is your best bet for truly lasting relief.
