Though premature ejaculation is a commonly experienced sexual dysfunction, many men find it very difficult to deal with or to discuss with their partners and doctors.
Those who are willing to discuss the condition find that treatments are much more effective.
Communication is key in finding the right treatment for your specific condition.
Many men may not fully understand the scope of PE, what causes it and what specific treatment options are available.
In order to effectively treat the condition you will need to learn more about what constitutes a diagnosis of premature ejaculation.
Studies have shown that the average length of time from insertion until ejaculation is around 3 minutes.
Any time less than this could be considered premature.
Most men who experience the symptoms of PE last only a few seconds from arousal until orgasm.
Medically, premature ejaculation is defined as ejaculating or having an orgasm before you are mentally ready to do so.
Prematurely ejaculating can lead to the loss of an erection and the inability to satisfy your partner.
Even though PE is normally defined in length of time until ejaculation, it is difficult to really know just how long a man should be able to last until orgasm.
The real issue deals with controlling the ejaculation and releasing only when you are ready to do so.
Dealing with premature ejaculation may mean learning new ways of doing things that you have done for years.
Teaching your body to hold off orgasm is essential.
PE is completely curable as long as you are willing to seek the help that you need and invest a bit of time in retraining your body to react to certain sexual stimulation.
The first step is to become completely familiar with yourself and your body.
You should learn what specific sensations may lead up to climax.
You need to learn how to predict when you will ejaculate so that you will have better control of the situation.
Exercises and other techniques can help you to learn better control over your climax.
The Stop and Start Method as well as Kegal exercises are both very commonly used treatment for dealing with premature ejaculation.
Both of these teach you to better control your orgasm and strengthen the PC muscles.
Communication with your partner is very important when using any time technique.
You will need to inform your partner that you will be stopping and starting intercourse until you are actually ready to release.
While understanding treatment of premature ejaculation is important, understanding the causes of the condition is also important.
There are a number of things that can cause PE including stress and anxiety, certain medications, genetic factors and several other underlying conditions.
Fear and/or discomfort with your partner can also cause PE.
If you are not terribly familiar with each other or not completely comfortable with one another then you could experience premature climax.
This is quite common and normally goes away on its own once you have become more familiar with your new partner.
Besides the exercises and treatment techniques there are medications and desensitizing creams that you can also try.
Your doctor will need to perform a routine examination before prescribing any medications for your condition and if you are considering taking herbal supplements you should discuss this with your doctor as well, particularly if you are taking regular medication for another medical condition.
Desensitizing creams and even condoms can give you more lasting power as they tend to dull the sexual sensations during arousal.
Dealing with premature ejaculation may seem impossible but there are a number of techniques that you can try.
You can also speak with your doctor and your partner about potential treatments and other things that will help you to prolong ejaculation.
Overcoming both the physical and mental aspects of PE is important in effective treatment and will be much more successful if you involve your partner.
