Premature Ejaculation

Premature Ejaculation or PE is the phenomenon which occurs when a man, after experiencing orgasm, expels semen immediately after his sexual activity with least penile stimulation. PE is also termed as rapid ejaculation, early ejaculation, rapid climax and premature climax.

The most significant risk factors associated with PE are psychological as well as relationship distress, avoidance towards pursuing sexual relationships and even improper medication.

Management

A number of men often distract them and divert their attention from sexual stimulation in their attempt to treat themselves for PE.

However, according to Freudians, psychoanalysis is good for curing premature ejaculation.

Some other management tips include Kegel exercise (to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor) , "stop-start technique" (to desensitize the man's responses) and "squeeze technique" (to reduce excessive arousal).

There are certain drugs which increase serotonin signalling in the human brain; these are the ones that can slow down the process of ejaculation and hence have been used to treat PE successfully.
