At times, men blame that excitement is the main culprit behind premature ejaculation. In spite of coming really early and losing control over their sexual functions, most men are unable to accept the fact that they suffer from premature ejaculation. Ejaculation within two minutes or less than two minutes of penetration can be termed as premature ejaculation. There are various causes of premature ejaculation. Let us have a look at them.
- Learned patterns: Most men learn to masturbate during their teens. They masturbate when they are alone or when no one is watching them. This makes them want to finish the act soon so that they are not caught. Soon enough, they learn to fast without thinking about the effects of their sexual act in their future life. At times, it becomes very difficult for such individuals to unlearn their habits.
- Stress and anxiety: When you are stressed or highly anxious, you lose control of your arousal and ejaculation, which can lead to premature ejaculation. If you have an endorphin rush on a regular basis, your brain conditions itself to send a message for ejaculation as soon as you are stressed. This can worsen the problem.
- Issues related to control: A man who has only thought about his penis as an organ to have fun does not learn to control his ejaculation. He gets used to the idea of shaking it and letting things go smoothly and never thinks about his partner satisfaction. This behaviour needs to be corrected.
- Unreliable erections: When a man does not perform as per his expectations, he often loses the rest of the game too. It means that when he cannot hold his erection long enough, he can lose control even for a short while.
- Ageing issues: Generally, older men have low libido, lower penile sensitivity and very less opportunities to have sex. This can make things difficult for them.
Although these are the major causes of premature ejaculation, this is not a complete list of causes. Let us now have a look at some effective solutions for premature ejaculation.
- Stop and go technique: This exercise involves the pubococcygeus muscles. These are the muscles that you use when you are urinating. Try and stop urine when you urinate and the muscles that you use are pubococcygeus muscles. Whenever you are peeing, try stopping yourself halfway, count to five and start again. This gives you more control over your pubococcygeus muscles.
- Desensitization: You can desensitize your penis by wearing two condoms (although it is not recommended for sexual intercourse with strangers as it increases the risk of condom tear). You can also use various desensitizing gels, desensitizing condoms, cock rings, sprays and creams for lasting longer.
- Use of medications: Some medications such as Priligy are known to help men last longer. You need to take Priligy 30 minutes before sexual intercourse and its effects can last for up to 3-4 hours. It is known to increase sexual performance of men by up to 300%.
Always consult a doctor if you think you are suffering from premature ejaculation. Consulting a doctor will help you tackle the problem with greater effectiveness.
