Are you a Premature Ejaculator?

If you ejaculate sooner than your or your partner desires, you may be a premature ejaculator. It's a common sexual complaint and according to research at least one in three men have this problem. There are different ways to help delay ejaculation so that you can have a better sex life. However, before taking any drastic measures it's best to be sure you actually are a premature ejaculator and are not just being hard on yourself.

The Signs of Premature Ejaculation

You are a premature ejaculator if you ejaculator before intercourse begins or soon after you begin. To better define it, you are a premature ejaculator if:

* Ejaculation happens within two minutes or less of penetration
* You are unable to delay the ejaculation
* Ejaculation after minimal stimulation

There are two types of premature ejaculations - lifelong or acquired. Lifelong premature ejaculation usually leads to a lot of distress, frustration and the avoidance of any sort of sexual intimacy. While acquired premature ejaculation also leads to personal distress, the major difference is that it develops after you've already had previously satisfying sexual relationships with no problems.

While sexual intercourse is usually where premature ejaculation is identified as a problem, you can also note it as a problem in other sexual activities like masturbation.

Your Doctor Can Help …

Premature ejaculation isn't necessarily a problem. As long as it isn't a consistent or persistent problem, it's really nothing for you to worry about. You should speak to a specialist doctor if both you and your significant other are dissatisfied after most moments of sexual intimacy. Medication, counseling and learning various sexual techniques can help delay ejaculation. These are things a specialist doctor can introduce you to so that you can begin improving your sex life. Also, the doctor might simply reassure you that nothing is wrong with when you ejaculate and that you have nothing to worry about.
