Free From Fear About Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is sexual disorder in which ejaculation occurs early before reaching adequate sexual satisfaction in men and in female while engaging in sexual intercourse. Therefore, the duration in which a person is classified as having premature ejaculation would vary from person to person. For instance, a person might complaint of premature ejaculation within 1 or 2 minutes where another person might complaint of the same even after lasting for almost 20 minutes. But, the fact of the matter is, the problem bothers the person and this can have a damaging consequence for the person as well as his relationships.

There are many methods that are being used in order to treat or prevent a person from getting premature ejaculation, but, none of these measures proves to be 100% effective in each and every person. Additionally, these methods would need motivation and adherence by both the affected person as well as his partner and in certain instances lifestyle modifications would also be useful.

Let us now discuss some of these measures that are useful in avoiding premature ejaculation.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

Alteration of the thinking and actions has proven to be effective in many instances and probably be one of the oldest methods used in treating this condition. But, the procedure needs to be practiced for a certain period of time and it should be a gradual buildup rather than an abrupt implementation.

One of the methods used in CBT is the ‘start-stop technique’. In this method, the person is asked to reach climax by means of masturbation or else at the time of having sexual intercourse and as soon as he reaches this point to re-focus the attention to a totally different thought and stop the masturbation process.  If the person was engaging in intercourse, it should be stopped and withdrawn. Thus, with such ‘stop’ action, the person will be able to suppress having an orgasm. The process is to be practiced several times a day or else at his convenience at regular intervals. With time, it will be possible to prolong the duration and thus the time a person enjoys his sexual interaction.

Medications

There are several medical treatment options available for the use of premature ejaculation and some of these methods include giving anti-depressant medications, applying local anesthetic agents in the form of a gel or else as an impregnated condom…etc.

Although these methods have proven to be effective in certain instances, the side effects of its use needs to be discussed with the healthcare provider and it should be started only after measuring the risks and benefits.

Apart from the above mentioned options, there are certain procedures and devices which are being introduced in order to delay the ejaculation time and these methods need to be suggested and implemented with the advice from your healthcare provider
