Premature ejaculation is a common sexual problem in men where sexual climax occurs ‘too early. This means the man is unable to delay his ejaculation until a point that is mutually desirable for both partners. There are two different types of premature ejaculation.
Primary: The term primary premature ejaculation is used if you have always had difficulty controlling your orgasms. The causes of primary premature ejaculation are often psychological and may stem from a traumatic early sexual experience. Primary premature ejaculation is sometimes referred to as lifelong premature ejaculation.
Secondary: This type of premature ejaculation, sometimes referred to as acquired premature ejaculation, develops later on, where there was no problem previously. Psychological factors, such as ‘performance anxiety, perhaps with a new partner, or physical factors, such as drinking too much alcohol, may be to blame for secondary premature ejaculation.
Premature ejaculation can affect men of all ages, however, men over 40 years old seem to suffer with it more regularly than those who are younger. It is estimated that approximately 30% – 40% of men have a problem with premature ejaculation at some point in their life. Primary premature ejaculation affects around 1 in 50 men in England.
However, when diagnosing premature ejaculation, it’s important to remember that the length of time you can last before ejaculating is not the issue. The issue is whether you are satisfied with the length of time taken for sexual intercourse.
Luckily there are several different treatments which can successfully treat the problem of premature ejaculation.
