What Is Premature Ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation occurs when a man ejaculates within one minute of starting sexual activities. If this happens occasionally, it is not typically something to worry about. However, if it happens often, it may be something worth addressing.
What Causes Premature Ejaculation?
Several factors can contribute to premature ejaculation. These include:
- Having a physical disorder
- Experiencing mental health problems
- Stress or depression
In addition, this can occur as a symptom of another health problem, such as erectile dysfunction, thyroid disease, or prostatitis.
What Can Help?
If you experience premature ejaculation, there are a few things that you can do to try to overcome the issue.
Stop-Start Method
As the name suggests, this method involves starting and stopping sexual intercourse during the act. Although this requires some practice, it can help you learn to pay better attention to your sexual reactions and eventually gain control over when you ejaculate.
Pelvic Floor Training
Training the pelvic floor muscles can help you establish better bodily control. This can help you perform longer before ejaculating.
Using Condoms
Condoms have the ability to reduce the sensitivity of the penis during sexual intercourse. Some men find that using condoms helps to delay ejaculation during sex for this reason.
Trying a Second Time
For some men, trying for a second round of sexual intercourse can help them last longer.
