Whether it\u2019s something that only happens under stress or a chronic<!--more--> issue, not being able to last long enough can hurt a man\u2019s sex life and even his relationship. While guys understand the effect this condition can have on their sex life, few stop to consider the far reaching effects it can have in other areas of their life.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>It Erodes Your Self Confidence<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Even when a guy thinks his self-confidence is completely independent from his sex life, the truth is that a man\u2019s sexuality plays a big role, even if only on a subconscious level. Human sexuality is complex issue and one which even researchers still struggle to understand, so it\u2019s no surprise that when a guy has problems in the bedroom, it can start to play on his mind and chip away at his own feelings of self-worth. Early ejaculation is especially difficult to come to terms with as it is often the butt of jokes and is featured regularly in music, television and movies as a sign of man who simply doesn\u2019t have what it takes.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> It Hurts Your Relationship<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Sexual performance problems aren\u2019t exactly easy to hide from your wife or girlfriend. At the same time, they\u2019re also not easy to discuss openly for either partner so usually each person pretends it isn\u2019t happening or avoids the issue altogether by cutting back on sex and intimacy. This, in turn can have a negative effect on the quality of the relationship itself, driving partners further away instead of bringing them closer together. This is the biggest challenge to overcome for some couples as coming together and discussing the problem openly is the first step in developing an effective treatment program.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> It Throws You Off Your Game at Work<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Problems in the bedroom have a way of making people preoccupied when they should be doing something else \u2013 specifically while they are at work. Men struggling with chronic premature ejaculation often find they are more easily distracted at work and can\u2019t focus in the same way they could before it became such as issue. The end result? Poor work results, falling behind on projects and perhaps even being seen as someone who doesn\u2019t have what it takes to succeed in your field anymore.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> It Isolates You From Others<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Because premature ejaculation is such a sensitive and personal issue, men don\u2019t feel comfortable talking about it openly. At the same time, they often are made to feel as though they are the only ones struggling with the common and vexing condition. This couldn\u2019t be farther from the truth. Early ejaculation affects pretty much every man in the world at one point or another and it is estimated that about one-third of men are dealing with it on a chronic level at any given time. Still, it\u2019s not something that is often discussed and so men are left feeling isolated and alone. Thankfully, there are a number of websites, forums, message boards and support groups for men struggling with the condition. Reaching out to this community can be difficult at first, but the support and advice they offer help thousands of men to finally get help.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> It Can Exacerbate Other Medical Conditions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>One of the biggest contributors to premature ejaculation is stress. Stress is also caused by the condition so it\u2019s easy to see how a vicious cycle can be set into motion quite quickly. Not addressing the condition directly adds to stress and anxiety which, in turn, can make other medical conditions even worse. Diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, fibromyalgia and depression can all be worsened as a result of added stress and anxiety which is why it is vital that men get help and begin treatment as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to problems with performance, premature ejaculation is the most common complaint for men.
