Premature ejaculation is a common sexual dysfunction in men. It occurs when the man ejaculates quickly and uncontrollably during sexual intercourse.
Causes
The causes of premature ejaculation can be both physiological and emotional. In the physiological field, hormonal imbalances or problems in the nervous system can contribute. Altered serotonin levels, for example, affect ejaculation control.
On the emotional side, anxiety, stress, and performance concerns are major influences. Performance anxiety is one of the main causes, generating a cycle of fear and haste during sex. The treatment involves, in many cases, behavioral therapy. In this approach, man learns control and relaxation techniques.
Exercises
To premature ejaculation, exercises such as the “start-stop” and “squeeze” help to extend the time before ejaculation. In addition, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy helps change automatic thoughts that cause anxiety. Therapy teaches how to deal with psychological pressure and improve sexual self-esteem. Therefore, the combination of behavioral techniques and the identification of emotional issues is critical to the successful treatment of premature ejaculation. A Pelvic Therapist can also help you.
