Premature ejaculation is defined as an orgasm that occurs sooner than normal. What is considered normal varies widely among men however, so it is important to your partner about the issue. Occasional instances are common, however if you find this is a recurring issue prescription medication can help.
Premature ejaculation can happen occasionally and is not always something to worry about, it can affect men of any age, but sometimes lifestyle factors can play a role. There is often a psychological issue such as anxiety that can cause premature ejaculation.
As well as medication reducing the sensation felt by using condoms or numbing cream can help to assist with premature ejaculation. Other methods such as the ‘stop and start’ method or masturbating before intercourse have been reported to help. Sometimes counselling and therapy can also help to address the underlying cause of premature ejaculation.
