Problems with Premature Ejaculation

Premature Ejaculation (PE)
Other terms: Rapid ejaculation

Premature Ejaculation is ejaculation that occurs sooner than a man wishes, or too quickly during intercourse to satisfy his partner. Premature ejaculation is considered the most common male sexual complaint. It is estimated that about 1/3 of the males in the United States experience this problem.

Premature Ejaculation is almost always due to the lack of knowledge and awareness of the sensual or sensory mechanisms of the body. These men simply have not learned to focus their attention on the pleasurable sensations that accompany their rising excitement. Most premature ejaculators do not have major psychological problems -- they just have poor control and lack awareness of their sensory cues.

In cases where psychological issues are involved, they may be related to early negative experiences, (such as masturbating quickly to avoid getting caught or discovered, visiting prostitutes, etc.), performance anxiety, guilt or shame (believing that sex is sinful or dirty).

In therapy, special homework assignments are given for learning to focus on the sensations of arousal and tension leading to ejaculation, and for learning new skills and behaviors that will prevent or delay ejaculation.

PE is highly treatable and a trained sex therapist is very successful resolving it. Studies show that 80 to 90 percent of the men who take advantage of sex therapy for PE achieve better control.
