IS Premature Ejaculation (PE) A PROBLEM?

Premature ejaculation (PE) means coming too quickly, and it's one of the commonest of all sexual problems in men. It’s almost impossible to get an accurate definition of premature ejaculation.what some couples consider a satisfactory length of intercourse would be very inadequate for others.

It is commoner in younger men; there is a distinct tendency for it to improve with age. Men generally get better controls as they grow older.Good treatments are available. On the average, most men may take 7-10minutes before ejaculation. The average lasting time of men with premature ejaculation (PE) was 2minutes.
From our own clinical experience, there are plenty of couples who would regard intercourse that lasts under 20 minutes as less than satisfactory, and would feel that any ejaculation in less than 10 minutes is premature. As a working definition, if either you or your partner feels that orgasm is happening too soon, then there probably is some degree of premature ejaculation (PE).

RESULTS OF PREMATURE EJACULATION

In most cases premature ejaculation does matter, because it makes people unhappy and frustrated. And in severe cases Premature ejaculation (PE) can threaten or even ruin a marriage - simply because it spoils the sex lives of both partners.
Sometimes, the condition is so bad the man can't have sex because he ejaculates before he can get into the vagina. This can be devastating for a man's self-confidence. And it can be hugely frustrating and annoying for his partner – especially if she wants to get pregnant.

TREATMENT
MILD CASES – for instance, you can last five minutes but would like to last 10, there's probably no point in going to a doctor.the treatments options are listed below

• Distraction Technique…you should be able to improve matters by simple distraction techniques.This means turning your mind to something else when you sense that climax is near. For example, you can think about something totally unconcerned with sex or pinch yourself.
• Local anaesthetic gel..this no longer recommended because it causes numbness, irritations and soreness in the vagina of the partner.
• Long love condoms…this is a special type of condom,It's called the 'longlove condom’ and it contains a local anaesthetic (benzocaine) inside it.

SEVERE CASES……If Premature ejaculation (PE) is causing you significant problems, it is best to consult an expert for treatment. These are the treatment options

• The Masters-Johnson method
  This method cures the vast majority of men, provided that both partners are keen to co-operate (which isn't always the case). It is based on a special 'penis grip' developed by the American therapists Masters and Johnson.
  he finger-grip abolishes the desire to climax, so if, under careful instruction, the couple use it over a period of weeks, they can usually re-train the man so he can last much longer.

• Antidepressant drugs
  In recent years, it has also proved possible to treat PE with antidepressant drugs taken a few hours before intercourse. delaying male climax is a well-known side-effect of certain antidepressants. For most men, that side-effect is unwanted. But for young men with premature ejaculation, it's desirable.
• Cognitive behaviour treatment (stop-start technique)
  The CBT method also aims to alter the man’s behaviour: he is encouraged to masturbate using the stop-start technique to gain more control over his responses and his urge to ejaculate quickly.
