Ejaculation Problems: Too fast and too slow

from The Psychology of It All · host Dr. Raymond Zakhari, NP

Premature ejaculation occurs when a man ejaculates (cum) too soon. It can be as early as the thought of sex or if it occurs in less than 2 minutes after your penis enters your partner. Premature ejaculation is a common sexual complaint of both men and women. Up to one-third of men can experience this sexual dysfunction at one time or another for various reasons. As long as it is not the pattern of usual performance it is generally not a cause for concern. The diagnosis of premature ejaculation requires the man to feel distressed and if you can answer yes to the following questions: Do you always or nearly always ejaculate within one minute of penetration/ stimulation? Are unable to delay ejaculation during sexual stimulation or intercourse all or nearly all of the time? Is it different when you are masturbating? Do you tend to avoid sexual intimacy as a result of premature ejaculation? Is premature ejaculation a problem or a feature? That depends on how the condition is affecting you. This is treatable and more common than you think. Delayed Ejaculation Delayed ejaculation — formerly known as retarded ejaculation — is a condition in which it seems like an extended period of sexual stimulation is required orgasm (climax) and ejaculate. Treating delayed ejaculation depends on the underlying cause (chronic health conditions, surgeries and medications). Delayed ejaculation is only a problem if it is distressing to you or your partner. It is most common for delayed ejaculation to be a temporary problem. It is common for men to feel anxious or depressed regarding any sexual dysfunction such as delayed ejaculation. For some men, a minor physical problem that causes a delay in ejaculation might cause anxiety about ejaculating during a sexual encounter. The resulting anxiety might worsen delayed ejaculation.
