What Causes Premature Ejaculation?

The majority of men will experience at least one bout of premature ejaculation in their lifetime. Finishing too quickly is an embarrassing problem and will certainly hurt your pride, but it may also cause a strain on relationships and make being intimate a far more stressful experience than it ever should be.

Primary sufferers have had ejaculation problems for their entire sexual lifetimes. Having a fear of getting caught which leads to speed prioritization may have developed from early sexual experience which was thought of as negative.

Those who experience secondary premature ejaculation have acquired the syndrome at a later point in life. There is the more complex issue. Some potential causes are abnormal hormone levels or the neurotransmitter serotonin, thyroid problems, nervous system damage, inflamed prostate or urethra, or the use of prescription, over the counter or illegal drugs.

Premature ejaculation, if there are no other underlying conditions, is a combination of physical problems and mental barriers that cause sufferers to be unable to control their climax. Many men can not recognize the sensation that signals that they are beyond the "point of no return". This means that they are unable to halt or alter the sensation before the urgency becomes too much.

Psychogenic factors also play their part. Mental and emotional conflicts, especially anxiety can lead to over-stimulation and an early end to the passion. It's common to be stressed about the sexual act, especially early in a relationship. Issues such as contraception, eagerness to please, worries about appearance and performance will all have an effect on your mental state.

The other major cause is inexperience. You may be unable to recognize your feelings because you haven't felt them before. The only cure for this is to have more sex, until you are more confident about the sensations you undergo.

Unfortunately one bad experience can lead into a feedback loop. A lack of confidence, guilt, apprehension and negative feelings will make your performance worse. Conversely, if you can have a good time, then you may gain a sense that you can handle what is going on and the threat will recede.

A few men will have more serious or chronic complaints associated with clinical depression, prostate issues or heart or vascular problems. These need to be treated by health professionals.

Now that you know what you need to do to last longer during intercourse, you can take steps to prevent it. Generally more practice will help along with some relaxation practices and sexual techniques.
