How Is Premature Ejaculation Treated?

Premature ejaculation is when a man cannot control the timing of his ejaculation. This condition can leave both partners feeling unsatisfied sexually, and can cause problems in a relationship. In some cases the problem occurs infrequently, and will go away on its own. If you continue to have difficulty controlling the timing of your ejaculation there are several different treatment options available.

How is premature ejaculation treated?

 There are several different methods that your health care provider may have you try, and 95 percent of men who suffer from premature ejaculation find relief with behavior therapies. These natural methods can be used to treat both primary and secondary premature ejaculation without the risk of developing any harmful side effects. Some of the different behavior therapies can include;

1. The start and stop method
   This behavior method will help you to regain control over the timing of your ejaculation, and also teach you self control. Either you or your partner will stimulate your penis, stopping when you are on the verge of having an orgasm. Once the urge to ejaculate has passed, begin stimulating yourself again. It is recommended that you repeat the procedure three to four times in a row, before allowing yourself to finally achieve sexual gratification.
   
2. The squeeze method
   This behavior modifying treatment is similar to the start and stop method, in that it should be repeated several times before you are allowed to have an orgasm. As soon as you feel yourself coming close to climaxing, either you or your partner should squeeze the head of your penis. Once it has begun to loose some of its stiffness, relax the hold and resume sexual activity. This will not only help you last longer during intercourse, both of these methods can also teach you how to recognize when you are close to an orgasm and how to control it.

Some men have also found that distracting themselves during intercourse can help them last longer, but this should only be done after discussing the therapy with your partner. When you become distracted or disinterested during sex, your partner may feel like you are losing interest in them. Talking to your significant other can not only help you with your treatment for premature ejaculation, it can also prevent problems from occurring in the relationship.

Psychological Therapy

 Especially with men who have suffered from problems controlling their ejaculations all of their lives, it might be necessary to consider seeking treatment from a mental health expert. Physical and emotional traumas during childhood can be effecting your ability to control your ejaculation, and these issues should be treated by a mental health expert. Problems with stress, anxiety, and other emotional problems can also contribute to your inability to control ejaculation, and benefit from psychological therapy.

Other Treatments

 Some other forms of treatment include medications that treat depression. While these medications can improve your mood, and relieve anxiety there are also several harmful side effects associated with this form of treatment. Several antidepressants can cause an erectile dysfunction to develop, along with the risk of developing serious medical conditions. Some of the medical problems can also lead to other sexual problems. If your health care provider does decide that this is the right treatment for you, make sure you understand your risk of developing any side effects. In some cases the side effects were worse than the condition that was originally being treated.

 One of the most common forms of treatment for premature ejaculation is using a desensitizing cream on the penis. This will lessen the amount of stimulation that you feel, and many men find that it resolves their problem. These lotions are generally safe and natural, and can be easily purchased in many stores. The easiest and safest way to desensitize your penis is to simply wear protection. A condom will not only reduce the amount of friction that you feel, it will also protect you from all of the different sexual diseases.

Conclusion

 There are several different treatment options available for men who are having trouble controlling the timing of their ejaculations. While behavior therapies and certain medications can help, the easiest and safest method is to wear a condom. Not only are you practicing sex safe habits, you are also reducing the amount of feeling in your penis. Simply reducing the level of friction has helped many men last longer in bed.
