<\/figure>\n\n\n\n1. Is premature ejaculation common?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Premature ejaculation is a very common sexual problem in men. PE happens to most men at some point in their lives. It is especially normal in men who are having sex for the first time or haven\u2019t had sex in a long time. PE is only ever a problem when it happens frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Does low testosterone cause premature ejaculation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It certainly does not. Experts believe that this myth is rooted in the belief that \u2018maleness\u2019 or \u2018masculinity\u2019 is related to \u2018going all night\u2019. To date, there has been no known link between testosterone levels and premature ejaculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. I ejaculate very quickly during sex because the head of my penis is too sensitive. Is there a treatment for premature ejaculation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The penis is packed with nerve-endings so sensitivity is normal. However, this isn\u2019t always a good thing and can cause some men to be overstimulated resulting in PE. This is called penile hypersensitivity. Using thicker condoms or condoms labelled \u2018extended pleasure\u2019 or \u2018delay\u2019 that come with numbing gel can help delay ejaculation during intercourse. There are also various oral and topical medications that can help PE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check out the prolong pill<\/a>, which enables you to enjoy sex longer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The average desirable duration for penetrative sex is said to be 7-13 minutes, but know that there are also people who prefer less. Nothing really \u2018happens\u2019 unless you and\/or your partner are dissatisfied. Talk to your partner so that expectations are clear and solutions can be found otherwise. Also, don\u2019t let other people\u2019s sex life and other popular ideas of sex like \u2018going all night’ make you feel bad about how you fare in bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a number of ways men can delay ejaculation. There is the practice of edging, pelvic floor exercises (a.k.a Kegel exercises)<\/a>, or even the squeeze technique. This involves squeezing the penis where the head meets the shaft and hold for several seconds. This will cause the urge to ejaculate to pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ED, otherwise known as impotence, isn\u2019t dangerous per se, but it can be an indicator of more serious health issues like heart conditions or diabetes. Regular checkups are important so that you can detect and treat impending illnesses and return to a healthier sex life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ED stems from a number of physical and psychological causes. Wearing tight underwear is not among the causes for ED. However, some research has shown that tight underwear causes lower sperm count (but not enough to cause infertility) because the temperature of the testes rises when the scrotum is pushed against the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The short answer is yes. We do not advocate any recreational drug use in the interests of your health. Prolonged use or abuse of substances like alcohol, nicotine, amphetamines, barbiturates, opiates, marijuana, cocaine, and methadone can all cause ED. These drugs, besides suppressing the central nervous system, also damage blood vessels that are imperative to maintaining a healthy erection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a few medications that you can take to treat ED. A familiar example is oral pills like Viagra and Cialis. Dosages, duration of efficacy, and side effects of these pills differ and it is advised that you consult a medical professional to decide which pill and dosage will work best for you. Other medications include self-injection, a urethral suppository, and testosterone replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s not as quick as you may think, but proactively improving your general health can help alleviate impotence over time. Frequent exercise, eating healthy, weight loss, and regular checkups with a medical professional can help keep ED at bay. Also try to cut down (or if possible, eliminate altogether) alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Men the world over experience both erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation at any given time. You don\u2019t have to feel ashamed as there are treatments for both conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Book an online consultation with our team of medical professionals to find ED and PE treatments<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <\/span> 4<\/span> minute read<\/span><\/span> PE and ED are two of the most common sexual health concerns men experience \u2013 which is why it needs to be discussed more openly.
