What is premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation is defined as persistent or repeated ejaculation with slight stimulation prior to or shortly after intercourse. Recent data indicates that premature ejaculation is the most common form of sexual dysfunction affecting tens of millions of men of America. Ejaculatory disorders can have devastating effects on relationships and can contribute to lack of self-confidence, embarrassment and trauma. The American Psychiatric Association defines premature ejaculation as "persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation before, during, or shortly after penetration and before the person wishes it." The reoccurring question remains. What is considered to be shortly after penetration? Alfred Kinsey state that 75% of men tested ejaculate within two minutes after vaginal entry. Does this mean that 75% of the men tested are premature ejaculators? Premature Ejaculation cannot be determined in time frame or by a partners dissatisfaction, considering that 75% of all women are unable to climax during sexual intercourse without direct clitoral stimulation, leaving only 25% capable of climaxing strictly from direct penile penetration. Premature ejaculation is an act of rapid, involuntary climax. Some cases of premature ejaculation are more severe, bringing the man to orgasm as soon as his penis makes vaginal contact. In less severe cases the man is able to make vaginal entry and stroke, but unable to maintain control in high levels of arousal. The voluntary ejaculator can sustain sexual intercourse in the "plateau" stage of arousal, maximizing sexual stimulation as the penis is at its most erect state before climax. In example (a) the male sexual response is rapid and constantly escalating with no distinguished "plateau" stage due to high levels of excitement resulting in involuntary ejaculation prior to vaginal entry. (severe premature ejaculation)
In example (b) the male sexual response is strong and controlled in the "plateau" stage prior to intercourse but escalates to climax soon after vaginal entry. (normal case of premature ejaculation) In example (c) the male sexual response with good ejaculatory control is able to sustain intercourse for a considerable amount of time at the "plateau stage before peaking to climax.(good ejaculatory control) Graphs (a and b) indicate rapid rate of excitement nearly skipping the "plateau" stage immediately after vaginal entry, leading the male to ejaculate against his will. With good ejaculatory control the male is able to sustain coitus until he or his partner decide to climax. What causes premature ejaculation? Current research suggests that premature ejaculation is a medical disorder with a psychological as well as a physical basis. Psychological explanations often look to early sexual experiences that conditioned rapid responsiveness. A second theory asserts that anxiety, for some men, is heightened in sexual situations. The pressure to perform under heightened anxiety may be another cause for premature ejaculation. This performance anxiety may lead to a vicious cycle that is repeated in new relationships. Contrary to popular opinion, another theory argues that premature ejaculation is related to a low sex drive. Sexual relationships proceed through three levels: Desire, Arousal, and Orgasm. The real problem for some men may be that they miss the first step. Lack of full arousal may result in less rather than more control over ejaculations. Other researchers have noted that men who suffer from premature ejaculation have a neurological problem of hypersensitivity in the penis and/or hyperspasticity of the pelvic muscles. A recent study disputes this assertion. Eighteen patients with a life long history of premature ejaculation were tested under laboratory conditions. The study concluded that penile hypersensitivity does not appear to be a major factor in premature ejaculation. FREE Sex Tips:
