Premature Ejaculation: Causes, Symptoms and Treatments

In recent years, the medical world has improved its recognition and understanding of male sexual dysfunction, including the problems men can experience when engaging in sexual intercourse. Premature ejaculation is one form of sexual dysfunction that can adversely affect the quality of a man's sex life.
Reaching climax and ejaculating semen during penetrative sex is the typical route by which babies are conceived, but premature ejaculation does not just complicate reproduction, it can also adversely affect sexual satisfaction, both for men and their partners. The information here aims to demystify premature ejaculation and outline active treatment options for those cases where it is desired.

Fast facts about premature ejaculation
Here are some key points about premature ejaculation. More detail and supporting information is in the body of this article.

• In medical terms, premature ejaculation is a form of sexual dysfunction where a man has always, or consistently climaxes and ejaculates before or very soon after sexual penetration, causing distress. Under strict criteria, premature ejaculation is relatively rare.
• Cases of premature ejaculation that do not meet the strict medical criteria for the sexual disorder are more common and are defined simply as a man climaxing and ejaculating sooner than he or his partner desire. Often, a man's partner is less concerned than the man himself.
• In the majority of cases, an inability to control ejaculation is rarely due to a medical condition, although doctors will need to rule this out, including checking for erectile dysfunction
• Most cases of premature ejaculation have psychological causes - ranging from common anxieties about sex and relationships resulting in a temporary problem, to more serious psychological factors contributing to a persistent problem.
• Premature ejaculation can lead to secondary symptoms such as distress, embarrassment, relationship stress, anxiety and depression.
• Treatment options range from reassurance from a doctor that the problem can go away in time, through home methods of "training" the timing of ejaculation (alone or with the help of a trusted partner), to talking therapies and couples counselling.
• Drug options are available, there are currently no medicines approved for use in treating premature ejaculation.
• Doctors may consider offering "off-label" prescription of a certain type of antidepressant to help with premature ejaculation, but such medication can have side-effects. Additionally, some men find it helpful to apply a local anaesthetic cream to their penis to delay ejaculation by decreasing sensation.

What is premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is a form of male sexual dysfunction. From the point of view of the man and his sexual partner, premature ejaculation means the man having an orgasm or "climaxing" sooner than wanted.¹
Estimates of the number of men affected by premature ejaculation vary depending on how the problem is defined. A high proportion of men report being affected by premature ejaculation, whereas a very small proportion of men actually meet the medical criteria for the most persistent form.²

Medically, the most persistent form of premature ejaculation (primary or lifelong premature ejaculation) is defined by the presence of the following three problems from the point at which a man becomes sexually active:^2-4

• Ejaculation always, or nearly always, happening before sexual penetration has been achieved, or within about a minute of penetration
• The man finding an inability to delay his ejaculation every time, or nearly every time, he does achieve penetration
• Negative personal consequences, such as distress and frustration, or avoidance of sexual intimacy.

Premature ejaculation was once known, in Latin as ejaculatio praecox (the translation being "precocious ejaculation").² It is also called rapid or early ejaculation.
An internet search will also reveal a lot of slang or colloquial phrases for premature ejaculation, although these often have little bearing on the reality of lived experience and may instead reinforce false ideas that are harmful to men's mental health. For example, such slang terms can lead men to feel they are to blame, have failed, are alone in their problem, or cannot be treated, while the opposite is usually the case. Premature ejaculation can cause a lot of embarrassment in boys and men, with a significant degree of stigma often attached to male sexual performance.⁵

How many men experience premature ejaculation?

Information obtained through surveys puts the "self-reported" prevalence of premature ejaculation in men as somewhere between 15% and 30%.^2,6
However, the prevalence of medically diagnosed and diagnosable premature ejaculation is much lower.^2,6 This statistical disparity does not in any way diminish the suffering experienced by men who do not meet the strict criteria for diagnosis.^2,6
In one analysis of nearly 5000 men in nine Asia-Pacific countries, 16% of men met the criteria for a diagnosis of premature ejaculation (PE) on the five-question Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT).¹⁹ Probably PE was found in 15% of respondents, while 13% of men self-reported PE.

Interestingly, less than half (just 40%) of the men with PEDT-diagnosed PE self-reported the condition, and just 19% of those with probable PE self-reported having the condition. A large number of men (some 6% of respondents) had a negative PE diagnosis on the PEDT but reported PE.¹⁹
Primary or lifelong PE is the most persistent problem in men and describes a condition where men have rarely experienced sex without prematurely ejaculating. This is the least common form of the condition and is thought to affect around 2% of men.⁷
However, more loosely defined premature ejaculation remains the most common form of male sexual dysfunction - more common than erectile dysfunction.^6,7

Causes of premature ejaculation

Let's discuss the causes of premature ejaculation, from psychological factors to medical causes and erectile dysfunction.

Psychological factors

Most cases of premature ejaculation are not related to any disease and are instead due to psychological factors.
Examples of psychological causes of premature ejaculation include:^8,9

• Sexual inexperience
• Novelty of a relationship
• Overexcitement or too much stimulation
• Relationship stress
• Anxiety
• Guilty feelings
• Depression
• Issues related to control and intimacy.

These common psychological factors can affect men who have previously had normal ejaculation; such cases are often referred to as secondary or acquired premature ejaculation.⁷
Most cases of the rarer, more persistent form - primary or lifelong premature ejaculation - are also believed to be caused by psychological problems. The cause(s) of primary or lifelong PE can often be traced back to early trauma, such as:⁷

• Strict sexual teaching and upbringing - affecting young men who have been brought up under strict ideas that sex should be prohibited until marriage, for example, making enjoyment of sex more difficult because of a feeling that it is wrong or a sin
• Traumatic experiences of sex - anxiety and premature ejaculation can result from problems ranging from a loss of privacy when masturbating ("being caught" masturbating), to sexual abuse
• Conditioning - it is thought that early sexual behaviors can feed into later experiences of sex. One example is a teenager learning to ejaculate quickly to avoid being found masturbating. 

Medical causes of premature ejaculation

Biological causes of premature ejaculation are much less common than psychological ones. In rare cases, the cause can be more serious, such as nervous system damage as a result of surgery or physical trauma.¹⁰
The following are also possible medical causes of PE⁷ (doctors will focus on diagnosis and management of the underlying condition first and monitor for improvement in sexual function⁸):

Erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is a condition that doctors will want to rule out or treat first when working with a patient concerned about premature ejaculation.^6,7
Some men may confuse erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, believing themselves to have the former when they actually have the latter. This is because the penis normally loses its firmness after ejaculation.⁶
In some cases of erectile dysfunction, heightened sensitivity caused by changes to the normal pattern of nerve signals means that much less stimulation is needed to cause ejaculation.⁷
Finally, some studies have found an association between levels of serotonin - a natural neurotransmitter chemical involved in mood and depression - and ejaculation problems. Men with low brain levels of serotonin may have problems with premature ejaculation.¹⁰ However, the role of such factors remains largely theoretical, especially given that scientists still have a fairly poor understanding of the normal physiological processes that produce ejaculation.²

5 Natural Impotence Remedies

Straightforward steps to stimulate your sagging love life 

"Impotence - that's what it must be!" He had a gentle Irish brogue and had well and truly labelled himself as "sexually dysfunctional". Philip had tried Viagra, but all it had done was produce a headache "like Nagasaki!"
"The thing is," he told me, "I need a natural remedy for impotence. Can you help me?"
What did I do to help Philip with impotence? Well, you can read about some of the approaches in my article "Male Sexual Enhancement Techniques" - such as how to maximize your psychological attitude to sex, as well as some exercises you can do to strengthen erections (here's a hint: they don't involve gym membership). But here are some other tips and techniques to help rectify the 'collapse of stout party' and get you relaxed and hard during lovemaking.

Impotence - the natural 'curse'

Failing to achieve an erection that is strong enough or sustained enough to allow for normal lovemaking is known as impotence. It can happen once or many times and the majority of men (regardless of what they may tell one another) experience it at some time. As I pointed out to Philip, actually all men are meant to be impotent for much of the time. When we are in meetings at work, doing sports, reading a weather report, or wearing Speedos on the beach, not having an erection is a good thing.
When we're under attack or feel threatened, sexual arousal is meant to switch off fast. It's a myth that men are - and always should be - capable of instant sexual arousal (regardless of, say, problems in a relationship). But repeated failure to achieve erection during foreplay can start to feel like a real problem for many men; especially if it's a problem that spans different relationships.
So what causes impotence? Well, impotence can be caused by physical or psychological factors or, of course, a combination of both. It's good to know what's been causing it.

1) Check whether there are physical causes for the impotence

Do you regularly wake up with an erection? If so, then it's unlikely the cause of impotence is physical, as all seems to be working from a 'mechanical' point of view. Illnesses such as diabetes or conditions such as high blood pressure can cause impotence, as can injury or rapidly declining hormone levels. The blood needs to circulate well in order for erections to occur, so any condition which restricts circulation, such as smoking, may prevent erections. Additionally, overindulgence in alcohol may cause 'brewers droop' by interfering with testosterone levels.
Impotence can also result as a side effect from some medications, such as antidepressants, so if you suspect there may be some medical cause for impotence, consult your doctor. Also take a look at your lifestyle. Are you drinking too much? Not exercising? Getting too little rest? Smoking like a steam train? Sexual health is a by-product of living well.

2) Don't think yourself into impotence

Robin Williams once reputedly said: "God gave men both a penis and a brain, but unfortunately not enough blood supply to run both at the same time."
After laughing at this quote, I thought about it. (Don't you just hate it when people think about something before laughing at it?) On the face of it, this remark seems disparaging toward men. And it's often said that men give pet names to their penises because they "like to know who's dictating their behaviour". But actually women are led by their sex drives just as much as men sometimes and can also make "mistakes", ending up in bed with "the wrong man". We are all, to some extent, led by our desires.
I reckon the usefulness of Williams's remark (apart from the humour : ) ) is to highlight that over-analysis of sex can spoil it completely. "Will I/won't I achieve an erection?" is just too much pressure. The fact is that when enjoying sex, we really don't need to be thinking too much. When you focus on physical closeness and the enjoyment of being together naked, an erection becomes a by-product of the experience, not the end in itself. Stop trying to get an erection and focus on physical closeness - if an erection happens, it happens. But this is easier said than done, so...

3) Use self-hypnosis to relax about your sexual performance

It's easy for me to say: "Don't worry about whether you get hard or not!" But, of course, much impotence is caused by worrying, and stress switches desire off pretty rapidly. Self-hypnosis is a wonderful way to help you change your mindset and help you experience sex beyond concern with penile mechanics. In ancient China, the eunuchs reputedly made the best lovers because (without the use of a penis) they used much more imagination during lovemaking. To get a feel for self–hypnosis, listen to this short and free hypnosis audio.

4) Remember: impotence happens in context

If you've been experiencing impotence, it may be that you are bored in your relationship or with your lover and need to spice things up a bit. As the old joke has it: "Please don't come to bed yet; I haven't had a chance to think of anyone!"
Perhaps there are resentments in your relationship or your lover pressures you. Lovemaking isn't something you do to your partner, but with them. Give yourself a break sometimes - it would be amazing if a man didn't experience impotence in some contexts. It's not a reflection on you as a man, but perhaps rather your relationship or lifestyle.

5) Improve your circulation

Smoking is a very effective way of spoiling efficient blood circulation, which is why heavy smokers experience fewer erections than non-smokers. Any way you can improve blood circulation will strengthen your erections (as well as providing you with other obvious overall health benefits). Exercise, diet, and relaxation will all improve the flow of blood around your body. As will certain foods. For example, taking Ginkgo biloba for several months seems to have a hugely beneficial effect for many men (1). Eating garlic regularly may well have a similar effect (although taking it in tablet form may enable you to actually get close enough to use your erection!).

Breast Anatomy

The breast lies directly above the chest (pectoralis) muscle.

It is however important to understand that the amount of fat determines the size and shape of the breast.

Common problems of large breast include

• Back ache

If you are serious about reducing the size of your boobs, it is important to do without birth control pills cos the major constituent of most of these combined pills is oestrogen. Apart from that, the pills tend to mess with your hormonal levels thereby causing hormonal fluctuations.

In addition, estrogen-like compounds (otherwise called ‘xeno-oestrogens’) from plastic packaging (which include plastic bottles) and industrial residues are also known to contaminate food and drinks.
As a result, It is recommended to drink mineral water from glass bottles whenever possible, and avoid processed foods packaged in plastic.
Meat and possibly some dairy products tend to contain oestrogen and should also be taken moderately.
Oestrogen is broken down in the liver, so anything you do to improve liver function might help.
Eating a diet based on whole-foods, fruits and vegetables (preferably organic) with plenty of water and very little alcohol should help to maximise your liver function and minimise the impact of oestrogen in your body.
Since the breast is composed of fatty tissue, it is important to maintain healthy weight and get rid of excess fat from the body by eating healthy and balanced diet.
Here are some healthy eating tips to lose weight and reduce breast size.

• Eat less fat and few calories
• Eat more vegetables especially cruciferous vegetables e.g, kale, broccoli etc..

9 Home Remedies To Increase Female Libido

Female libido is a fluctuating pendulum on which many women hang with uncertainty. Many researchers suggest that the ever fluctuating hormones in a woman’s body finally take a toll during her middle age and lead to varying degrees of sexual problems.

It is mostly men who use pills, drugs and medications for increasing sexual libido. However, there are quite a few natural ways by which a woman’s libido too can be made to increase. If you are in your middle age and have a lack of sexual libido, here are some natural ways to try.

9 Home Remedies To Increase Female Libido

Avocados

Known as a natural aphrodisiac, taking avocados can help attain a heightened sexual energy that was hitherto absent in your sexual life. Avocados are rich in potassium, vitamin B6, folic acid etc. which have a great role to play in increasing female libido. Potassium helps in increasing thyroid function which will again increase female sexual urge. Vitamin B6 encourages the production of male hormones and folic acid is essential for metabolizing proteins in the body.

Bananas

Again, a pleasant fruit that is rich in potassium and vitamin B, which are nutrients that are required for optimum sexual satisfaction and production of testosterone, bananas produce energy for the person and this help to increase sexual libido of men as well as women. Bananas can be included in your daily diet to attain maximum benefit.

Oysters

Oysters are rich in zinc which is essential for male sexual health. Zinc helps in production of testosterone and production of sperms in the body. Raw oysters can be cleaned thoroughly and can be taken after freezing it.

Asparagus

Asparagus helps in producing sex hormones in the body. They are high in vitamin E and are good for increasing the sexual libido of men and women. As they are easily available, asparagus can be taken on a daily basis.
Rich in vitamin B6 and B5 that is necessary for reducing stress levels in the body, eggs not only help in increasing sexual libido, but also balance the hormone levels in the body which too impact sexual libido a great deal.

Celery

Celery is a great vegetable that can be added to your soups and salads. Androsterone, a hormone that is released through the perspiration of men is a hormone that is similar to pheromones that help in attracting females in animals.
Androsterone is supposed to help in increasing the sexual desire of women. As celery is a healthy vegetable and has as pleasant taste, it is something which can be taken by everyone.

Figs

Figs contain amino acids that are helpful in increasing female libido. Taking figs every day will also enhance your sexual libido.

Licorice Root

Licorice is helpful for women who have vaginal dryness due to estrogen fluctuation in the body. Licorice root can be taken in 2-3 ml quantities 2-3 times a day or as directed by the physician. They are also very beneficial in improving female libido.

Ginseng

Ginseng is a herb that is widely popular for sexual problems. It has a chemical that aids in the production of sex hormones in both men and women. Ginseng also increases blood circulation and provides energy to the body which too is good for overall sexual health.

Home Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction and Impotence...

Erectile dysfunction or impotence is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient enough for sexual intercourse. It can occur at any age but is most common in men over the age of 50. Now you may not realize this but erectile dysfunction is actually a very common problem. In fact, according to the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, 50% of the male population suffer from impotence! So if this is you then this statistic should make you feel better straight away because it shows that you’re definitely not alone… not by a long shot! 5

The biggest problem with this condition is most men don’t like to talk about it or even admit that they have trouble getting and maintaining an erection - so instead - they usually keep it to themselves and “suffer in silence”. As a man myself though I do get this. I mean, I couldn’t imagine sitting down with a mate and telling him I’m unable to get good wood. I know for women it’s very different and many females are happy to talk about their bedroom problems with their close friends. But as men we just don’t like to do this! (Yes I’ll start beating my chest like a baboon in a minute). Even talking about it with our partner or a therapist would be hard (pardon the pun) for most of us guys because as “men” our sexual performance is considered an indication of our virility and masculinity (well, according to us fellas anyway!)

Yes, I’m having a bit of a joke here but that’s really how many of us males (especially the non-SNAG’s) are. And the truth is, as men we want to be able to please and perform for our partners all of the time. Maybe that goes back to our caveman days, I don’t know, but if we’re unable to do this then it IS upsetting and it DOES affect us a great deal, no matter how understanding and comforting you ladies are. That’s why most guys get angry and suffer from anxiety when they have an impotence problem (which of course just makes things worse). Fortunately, the natural remedies we're about to discuss can treat and fix erectile dysfunction quite easily.

Is your penis normal?

Who's to blame for the modern man's obsession with the shape, size and colour of the penis?

This seems to be one of the biggest questions haunting the modern man. For some reason, he has become extremely worried about his penis. Perhaps it’s the media to blame which keeps on telling men that to be a good lover they must have a big organ, something that resembles a third leg. The problem has even been given a name ‘penile dysmorphic disorder’ which is a form of body dysmorphic disorder – a kind of mental illness where a person can’t stop thinking about a flaw in their appearance, which is imagined most of the time. A survey we did found the average size is 5.54 inches (14.07 cm) in length and 3.11 inches (7.9 cm) in girth.  (Revealed – the average Indian penis size)

The truth is that penises come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours and a lack of sex education means we get our information from wrong sources like porn, movies, magazines, etc. which gives us a twisted sense of reality. According to men’s health physician, Dr Hashmi, the problem lies more with the lack of sex education than something like porn.

He said: ‘The main culprit here is the lack of knowledge and awareness about sexuality. If we have to blame something, it would be the lack of sex education more than porn.  One of the contributing/risk factors for body dysmorphic disorder is the society/culture which sends a message that ‘certain’ images of body are desirable and others are not. So, yes when a person takes the norm from viewing porn then it can lead to problems. Accessing porn is much easier and free than accessing scientific information and or finding a specialist doctor to deal these sorts of problems. So, over a period of time, the wrong information (obtained through porn) gets reinforced and becomes to be TRUE for that person.’ (Penis enlargement methods – do they work?)

The truth is that the size of the penis doesn’t really add to sexual pleasure. There’s far more to sex than vaginal penetration. Dr Hashmi: ‘. It is vital to understand that the main sex organ in the body is your brain and not your genitals.’  (Penis size – should you really worry about it?)
