"Jumping to conclusions is like premature ejaculation, only satisfying to the guy doing it, and eventually he stops getting chances to do it."
Premature Ejaculation: Definition and Causes
The definition of Premature Ejaculation is — ejaculation during the early stages of sexual excitement or soon after the insertion of the penis into the vagina.
Premature ejaculation really boils down to one thing, cumming before it is desired. In a purely biological sense, this is desirable. In animals and early man, spending to long having sex was dangerous; a male specimen that ejaculated sooner wasn't exposed for as long. Another biological advantage to ejaculating sooner rather than later was (and still is in the animal world) that a male who does ejaculate quickly would have more time to mate with other females.
In this day and age, however, ejaculating too quickly is not desired at all. While in the animal world sex is performed almost entirely to keep the species alive, in humans sex is, more often than not, just for pleasure. A man who doesn't last long in bed isn't generally acceptable. This is for a myriad of reasons, but the foremost being that a man who can't last long won't be able to perform for long enough to bring his partner to orgasm.
There are many causes for premature ejaculation, including but not limited to: stress, anxiety, chemical imbalance, and abnormal penile sensitivity. Let's delve deeper into each of these causes.
Stress in general can cause a man to experience premature ejaculation. This happens because a man is at times incapable of compartmentalizing his life, and has trouble keeping the stress of day to day life separate from the pleasure and/or love with his partner. As such, the focus to "control" ejaculation is decreased due to a man thinking about problems. Even worse are problems in the bedroom which can compound stress issues. High amounts of stress can increase anxiety, the second cause of premature ejaculation.
Anxiety can cause many problems in and of itself, and can grow exponentially with increased stress. Most people deal with small amounts of anxiety on a daily basis, but in those that have trouble dealing with anxiety and stress it can often lead to a plethora of problems. These problems can include: sexual dysfunction, decreased immune system, dietary problems, and any number of mental conditions. These conditions are almost entirely caused by temporary or permanent chemical imbalances, our third cause.
Chemical imbalances in the brain require treatment by a trained professional. There are several neurotransmitters that directly affect sexual function and even very tiny changes in these chemicals can change everything from libido to physical sexual ability — by affecting nerve sensitivity and the ability to orgasm at all. These neurotransmitters are too numerous to list in this article, as doing so would take several pages to explain the functions of each.
In the next section, we'll look at methods of controlling and potentially curing premature ejaculation.
