March 10th, 2010

Who is the most at risk of premature ejaculation? Are some men more likely to develop premature ejaculation problems than other men? Is their a certain age group or a group of men that are at higher risk of having problems with premature ejaculation? Most doctors agree that every man will experience premature ejaculation at some point in his life, so what men are the most at risk for developing long term problems with premature ejaculation?

The research isn’t definitive. Some researchers say that particular groups of men are more likely to develop premature ejaculation problems than other groups. It does appear that teenage boys and younger men are the most at risk of having problems with premature ejaculation just to due to the fact that they haven’t learned regular ejaculatory control.

Some men might not realize that ejaculatory control is a skill they can learn and they might think that they will always be victims of premature ejaculation. Other men, particularly older men or men who have health problems, might find that they develop a problem with premature ejaculation that is caused by their health conditions or the medications they take for those health conditions.

Some men who are involved in stressful careers or have family stress might develop short term problems with premature ejaculation as a result of stress. If the problem is just because of stress then it will usually go away once the stress in your life starts to lessen. If it doesn’t go away even after the stress in your life subsides then you should talk to your partner and consider seeing a doctor who can help you overcome premature ejaculation.

Men who suffer from some psychological disorders like depression might also find that they are having problems with premature ejaculation. Depression and other psychological problems can cause premature ejaculation. The medications commonly used to treat depression and some other disorders like ADD or ADHD can also cause premature ejaculation in some men. If you are taking medication for Depression or a psychological disorder you should talk to your doctor to find out if premature ejaculation could be a side effect of the medication.

Men who suffer from performance anxiety or are overly concerned about their sexual performance may also suffer from premature ejaculation as a consequence of their anxiety. If your performance anxiety is becoming overwhelming you should talk to your partner about your fears and if necessary consult a psychologist who can help you deal with your performance anxiety.

Are you repressed? Men who are very sexually repressed often suffer from premature ejaculation because they feel guilty about enjoying sex and just want to achieve climax as quickly as possible. Sexual repression usually requires psychological treatment to overcome but it can be overcome. If you were raised in a very strict household or a very religious household where you were taught to associate a lot of guilt and shame with sex then you may develop a problem with premature ejaculation. Psychological counseling can be a very effective tool in dealing with sexual repression and premature ejaculation.
