Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction are two different conditions, both of which can have devastating effects on your sex life and sense of self. Erectile dysfunction involves the ability to get and maintain and erection. It may be caused by a number of contributing factors, some of which could be serious health concerns. Premature ejaculation does not affect your ability to get or maintain an erection. The issue here is that you climax too quickly, usually less than two minutes after beginning sexual intercourse.

We understand that it can feel unnerving, intimidating, or downright embarrassing to talk to anyone about premature ejaculation. Keep in mind, however, that avoiding the consultation that needs to take place only prolongs the frustrating problem of poor sexual performance. Premature ejaculation, though it may involve orgasm for you, may have negative effects on your intimate relationships. While the best course of action is to talk to a healthcare provider who specializes in men's health, particularly men's sexual health, there are strategies that you can try to see if your performance improves.

When considering home remedies for premature ejaculation, it is imperative that you understand not all work, nor are all strategies safe. Some may come with risks that aren't worth the effort. Some of the ways that men have tried to manage this condition include:

• Topical desensitizing products. This strategy may be useful if premature ejaculation is caused by an overly-sensitive penis. The topical product may be applied as a pre-soaked wipe, a cream, or a spray. At the core of this method is an agent like benzocaine. Though this mild analgesic (numbing cream) may offer some prolonged sensations, there is a risk of tissue irritation and also diminished libido.
• Condoms. Because condoms create a barrier to the nerves that are involved in sexual stimulation, wearing a condom at all may help prolong erection and sexual intercourse. Depending on the degree of sensitivity, you may wear a thicker condom or a special condom that contains a numbing agent. Again, here, you may need to consider the risk of irritation.
• Supplements for premature ejaculation. You may come across various supplements online that claim to correct premature ejaculation. Some may be healthy when used as directed. Zinc, for example, can be good for your health when used appropriately. More is not better; and, even with consistent use, Zinc is not guaranteed to work. It's merit is that it may help with low testosterone. However, most cases of premature ejaculation are not related to hormonal imbalance.

Several studies have found that weak pelvic floor muscles could contribute to premature ejaculation. The pelvic floor muscles are involved in controlling the amount of blood flow to the penis during arousal, thereby naturally controlling how quickly ejaculation occurs. If your pelvic floor muscles are weak, your ability to delay ejaculation may be diminished. This isn't nearly as uncommon as it may seem. Unlike women, men are not taught the importance of pelvic floor strengthening. Even with education, it's quite difficult to identify which muscles to isolate and how to squeeze and release in the right way to achieve the intended result.
