Timing can be everything in the bedroom. If you come to a climax sooner than for you and your partner, sex might not be satisfying. It is known as premature ejaculation. It can be embarrassing and also frustrating,which can hurt your relationship too. You don’t need to live with it. Certain things can be done to last longer in bed.
What is premature ejaculation?
There’s no time when a man should ejaculate during sex. But no doubt it will be too soon if you get the orgasm before intercourse or less than a minute before you even have started. It is an issue because when you ejaculate, you lose the erection and can’t continue to have sex. You both might feel that there’s not much time to enjoy it.
It is a common issue for most men. About 40%-50% have it at some time in their life. Therefore, keep in mind that it is not something to worry about as it happens only sometimes.
The reason behind this is not known,but your chemistry could be at least partly to be blamed. Men suffering from low levels of the chemical serotonin in their minds tend to take less time to ejaculate.
Emotional factors can play a role in premature ejaculation like:
- Depression
- Stress
- Guilt
- Performance anxiety
Relationship issues
Sometimes it can also be a problem for men with ED. This is when the penis does not remain firm enough to have sex. Treating ED might make the PE go away.Medications can help to maintain the erection.
When to see a doctor?
Make an appointment id premature ejaculation is bothering you or your partner. The doctor might ask if you have always had the problems or it’s new. You might get a physical examination too. Make sure to talk in detail.
