Why Premature Ejaculation is not just Men’s Problem?

Men younger than 40 years' experience a very common type sexual dysfunctional known as rapid ejaculation or Premature Ejaculation (PE). According to doctors, this condition of ejaculation occurs prior to wishes of any of the sexual partners. Herein, there is no precise duration and thus ejaculation can occur before reaching to the climax that is variable and depends upon the specific individuals. However, occasional premature ejaculation is not the matter of concern but if the problem is persistent up to 50% of attempted sexual relation, then a dysfunctional treatment is appropriate.

Premature Ejaculation versus Delayed Orgasm in Women

In an instance, where a male partner reaches climax after 9 minutes of sexual intercourse, and the other partner reaches climax within 6 minutes then the case is not deemed as Premature Ejaculation. Also, a male can might delay the ejaculation maximally up to 20 minutes, thus even if his partner needs 35 minutes of stimulation then also, he cannot reach the climax together, which is also not the case of Premature Ejaculation. In most cases, females are not able to reach to the climax with vaginal intercourse, even after the prolonged sessions. As a result, the case is not premature ejaculation in men rather than of delayed orgasm in women.

Premature Ejaculation is not just one man’s misfortune!

However, problem can be either or of both. For a thorough investigation, sexual history of both the partners is required. As per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, text revision (DSM-IV-TR) is as follows:

(1) Persistent and recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation before, on, or shortly after penetration before the person wishes it;

(2) Marked distress or interpersonal difficulty; and

(3) Not exclusively due to direct effects. In any of these, the sexual response of humans are basically divided into three phases in which PE can takes place i.e. desire (libido), excitement (arousal), and orgasm. The case can be segregated in four sections inclusively primary, general medication condition, cause of the matter, not otherwise specified.

Classification of Premature Ejaculation

Premature Ejaculation can be classified in two sections namely; Pathophysiology and Epidemiology. Under the former one, PE case is termed as a psychological problem as it does not has any specified organic disease. The emotional dissatisfaction among the partners can also be the cause of it. When taken the case under Epidemiology, PE has no specific medical treatment, although it can be treated through immense psychological support. Its side-effects also lead to depression and marital dysfunction. A man should consult his doctor without seemingly worrying about the embarrassment.

Best 4 Ways to Overcome Premature Ejaculation

1. Use a desensitizing condom can significantly delay your ejaculation. This condom has numbing agent such as lidocaine or benzocaine that holds your semen for some more time by decreasing sensation in the penis. Don’t use the condom if you have a sensitive skin.

2. Stimulate your penis during masturbation until the peak of climax and then squeeze your glans (head) of penis and wait till things are getting calmer. Try this technique twice and try to hold your ejaculation as much as possible.

3. Please check with your doctor before taking antidepressant, but SSRI antidepressant works well with premature ejaculation with several minutes.

4. Sexual intimacy is not just about intercourse but it is expansive. Women find it difficult in vaginal intercourse and orgasm is often demanding for them. Foreplay takes an important part to satisfy your partner, and even gentle talks about physical intimacy and stimulation in their body parts can bring more satisfaction.
