REVEALED: 8 Reasons You May Be Having Premature £jaculation

According to statistics, 1 in every 3 adult male in the reproductive age group experiences premature £jaculation. This can be frustrating to both s£xual partners and it seldom lead to loss of self-esteem/confidence and marital/relationship disharmony. It is defined as when a man reaches s£xual orgasm by the £jaculation of semen shortly after penetration of the vagina. It is characterized by rapid £jaculation within few minutes of s£xual intercourse, frequent inability to delay £jaculation and both partners feel distressed and frustrated about such occurrence.

It is relatively a very common male s£xual disorder and nearly all men have experience such in their life-time. However, it shouldn’t be of concern if it occurs infrequently. For men who satisfy the criteria of premature £jaculation, appropriate and timely medical/s£xual care should be sought for. Commonly, both biological and psychological factors play significant roles in premature £jaculation. In this article, we will discuss 8 possible reasons why you may be having premature £jaculation.

1. Emotional and physical Stress

This is the commonest cause of premature £jaculation. Men with emotional stress and instability are more likely to develop premature £jaculation. Also, excessive physical activity, stress, and work can weaken a man’s desire for s£x, reduces liibido and indirectly leading to the release of neurotransmitters that modulate quick £jaculation.

2. Anxiety about s£xual performance/ low self-esteem

Anxiety about s£xual performance has a negative effect on s£xual function. Nothing destroys a great s£xual experience than the fear of disappointing one’s partner. S£xual activity is controlled by the nervous system which is divided into two distinct arms. The arm that controls erection is different from the arm that controls £jaculation. Anxiety stimulates the arm of the nervous system that control £jaculation hence one you get anxious during s£xual intercourse you are directly stimulating the brain to release neurotransmitters that stimulates £jaculation

3. Relationship disharmony

Occasionally, premature £jaculation occurs when love is lost between partners. Also, poor communication between partners, emotional dissatisfaction, and feeling of hurt or guilt can lead to premature £jaculation in men

4. Low level of male reproductive hormones

The male reproductive hormone known as testosterone is essentially for s£xual activity. Men with a reduced level of testosterone experience poor erection and premature £jaculation. Testosterone is produced by specialized cells in the testes by direct stimulation from the brain; hence disorders of the brain or the testes can lead to a low production of testosterone.

5. Diseases of the male genitalia including disorders of the urethra and prostate gland

Infection of the prostate gland and the urethra if poorly treated can increase the sensitivity of the glands. For men with symptoms suggestive of STDs, endeavor to get proper medical attention because of the risk associated with untreated genital tract infection

6. Medical conditions like thyroid disease, heart disease, kidney disease and disorders of the brain affecting the release of neurotransmitters

Studies have shown that men with medical conditions like thyroid, heart and kidney diseases are unable to achieve or sustain an erection. Even if they do, most experience premature £jaculation. These life-threatening medical conditions are severe life stressors impacting negatively on the psychology of the patient. Rarely, premature £jaculation may be the first symptom of an underlying medical condition.

7. Early masturbation and quick £jaculation reinforcement

Although premature £jaculation can occur later in life, men who began masturbating earlier in life with the fear of being caught in the act are more likely to develop premature £jaculation. This act of rapid masturbation and £jaculation gets reinforced in the brain and subconscious of the individual thus his inability to slow his £jaculation for a pleasurable s£xual experience. Men suffering from premature £jaculation from this reason are advised to stop masturbation or use the ‘stop and start’ technique which enables them delay £jaculation

8. Excessive alcohol/ tobacco consumption

If you indulge yourself in excess alcohol and tobacco consumption, then you stand a higher chance of developing premature £jaculation. Alcohol and tobacco causes premature £jaculation by inhibiting your voluntary control of the speed you climax destroy nerve cells that control erection and £jaculation, damages the liver, heart and kidneys, reduces the amount of circulating testosterone and inhibits the release of certain neurotransmitters in the brain.
