Delayed ejaculation: what causes and how to fix it

That is a common belief that a man is good at sex when he lasts long in bed to allow his partner to experience an orgasm first.

But in some cases, intimacy time is extended due to the fact that the man simply can not reach the final phase of sexual response. According to statistics, about 82% of men who have symptoms of delayed ejaculation can reach orgasm during sexual intercourse but that is only can be possibly done with masturbation or oral sex in play. The remaining 18% are not able to achieve ejaculation, even if both sexual partners are all in.

What is delayed ejaculation and how do you know that this problem has affected you?

Delayed ejaculation is a condition that is characterized by extended period of sexual stimulation for men to reach orgasm due to the fact that the body suppresses the ejaculation reflex. This pathology can be brought up when sex lasts 20-30 minutes or more and ejaculation does not occur.

Ejaculation is a fairly complex process. It involves the work of the central nervous system and pelvic floor muscles. The central nervous system sends a signal to the muscles through the spinal cord when it is time to release sperm. But if there are certain problems with transmission, the signal may not reach the muscles.

Here are the main reasons for impaired ejaculation:

1. Psychological

Stress, anxiety, everyday problems, troubles at work, lack of faith in yourself and your abilities.

2. Physiological

Pathologies of the genitourinary system, hormonal disorders, vascular diseases, infections, disorders of the spinal cord.

3. Medications

Diuretics, antidepressants, alcohol-containing medications, blood pressure-lowering medications.

4. The use of prolonger lubricants

Reduce the sensitivity of the head.

Many will think that the inability to reach sexual climax can extol the sexual capabilities of a man in the eyes of his partner. But so even if that happens, that will be only at the first stages of the relationship. When the partner understands that every single sex does not end with ejaculation, they begin to feel undesirable. This leads to misunderstandings and confusion in relationships and self–doubt, especially for the men.

As you can see, delayed ejaculation can cause a lot of problems. If this happens rarely, there is no reason to worry. But if inability to achieve orgasm again and again is the case, and you understand that there are no reasons accompanying that or you have eliminated those reasons, it is worth seeking professional medical help. Also, you shouldn't self-medicate. Only a specialist can make right diagnosis and prescribe treatment.
