What Causes Premature Ejaculation?

By: Steve Armstrong

Premature Ejaculation is a common yet rather embarrassing complaint that has been affecting men for many generations. As yet, there is no certainty to what exactly causes it.

There was a time when the so-called experts strongly believed that premature ejaculation was the result of some deep-seated psychological problems lurking in the minds of men and affecting their sexual performance. That idea has since been junked. Today, the prevailing belief is that premature ejaculation is caused by both biological and psychological factors.

The problem is, medicine has not yet reached that state where they can identify with precision what exactly causes premature ejaculation for a specific individual. As a result, treatments for premature ejaculation have adapted a shotgun approach that addresses both biological and psychological factors.

Added to that there is the belief that erectile dysfunction plays a part in many mens problems.

But there's good news as well -- today, no man has to suffer from premature ejaculation. Quite a handful of successful treatments have been developed to address this malady. They include a host of medications, psychological counseling and sexual techniques and exercises that can delay or provide greater control over one's orgasm. For most men, combining two or more of these treatments is their best bet.

Here is an explanation of the signs, causes, symptoms and risks that can combine to cause the problem in men. You can use this to assess and judge your own current problems, or determine if you have any future potential risk.

Signs and symptoms No one knows for sure how long a man's ejaculation should take. Hence, there is no generally accepted notion of what is normal and what is premature as far as ejaculations are concerned. Instead, most of the experts agree that premature ejaculation refers to the following -- when a man reaches ejaculation before he and his partner want it in majority of their sexual encounters, that's premature ejaculation. It can take place during masturbation and all other sexual situations, although it may also be limited only to sexual encounters with another person. The experts have identified two general types of premature ejaculation:

1.Primary Premature Ejaculation -- If you have always suffered from premature ejaculation ever since you have been sexually active.

2.Secondary Premature Ejaculation -- If you have been suffering from premature ejaculation only after you enjoyed previously satisfying sexual encounters without such problems.

Causes While the experts have ruled out psychological factors as the sole reason for premature ejaculation, they have not yet reached the point where they can diagnose a specific cause for each individual. Despite this, there have been significant degrees of success achieved in addressing both the biological and psychological factors that cause premature ejaculation.There are four basic psychological causes that can bring about premature ejaculation. These are:

1. Instances where climax has been rushed due to the fear of being caught in the act.

2. Where a man has rushed his sexual encounters due to strong feelings of guilt.

3. Men who suffer from erectile dysfunction and worry too much about whether they can stay hard throughout the sexual encounter. This may also establish a pattern where a man rushes to ejaculate while he still has an erection.

4. Men who get anxious , particularly about their sexual performance or other matters.

In addition, there are also six basic biological causes that can lead to premature ejaculation. These are:

1.Abnormal hormone

2.Abnormal levels of neurotransmitters (brain chemicals)

3.Abnormal reflex activity of the ejaculatory system

4.Certain thyroid problems

5.Inflammation and infection of the prostate or urethra

6.Inherited traits

Some doctors believe that lifelong Primary Premature Ejaculation is usually a result of biological causes.

Also, some additional rare causes of premature ejaculation can include the following:

1.Damage caused to the nervous system by trauma or surgery

2.Withdrawal from drugs such as narcotics or trifluoperazine, a treatment for anxiety and other mental disorders.

Risk Factors Finally, the risk of premature ejaculation can be increased due to some factors. These include:

1.Impotence -- Having erection problems often leads to premature ejaculation. Some estimates are that one of three men suffering from premature ejaculation also have impotence problems.

2.Health problems -- Medical conditions that make men feel anxious about sex, such as heart disorders, often compel men to rush through sex.

3.Stress -- Being stressed about other areas of your life can hinder your ability to relax and result in premature ejaculation.

4.Medications -- There are certain drugs that can naturally cause premature ejaculation.
