What is "premature ejaculation"?
Premature ejaculation is a condition where the man has an orgasm before he wants to, or before pleasing his partner. In terms of absolute time, it could be anywhere from under five minutes to specifically under one to two minutes, and it can be distressing to both the male and female partners when this condition occurs.
What causes premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation can be caused by a variety of things. It could be a psychological issue, it could be a sensitivity issue. There are probably a variety of reasons that cause it that we don't even know about yet.
How can premature ejaculation be treated?
There are several
techniques to treat premature ejaculation. For some men it's decreasing
the sensativity, so it's, perhaps, wearing a condom may delay
ejaculation. For other men it's using a numbing jelly like lidocaine
cream that can decrease sensation of the glans and prolong ejaculation.
For other men it's using what's called the sqeeze technique, when they
feel like they're about to ejaculate, they pull out and they squeeze
and that can delay ejaculation. But, right now, the main stay of
premature ejaculation therapy is really using medications. There are a
number of medications that belong to the class of drugs known as
anti-depressants that can delay or retard ejaculation and thereby it
may actually prolong or double the time that someone who ejaculates
prematurely can maintain an erection for intercourse.
