Fact or Fiction: The Truths About Adult Premature Ejaculation

What Every Man Should Know About Adult Premature Ejaculation & What You Can Do About It

Premature ejaculation (PE) is when ejaculation occurs sooner than desired, often within sixty seconds of penetration. PE is both frustrating and distressing for men and women in relationships. As such, this can cause an avoidance of intimacy as well as anxiety, depression, and embarrassment.

 

There are two types of PE: lifelong PE and acquired PE. Lifelong PE is present from a male’s first sexual experience, while acquired PE develops later in life.

Myth-Busting Adult Premature Ejaculation Misconceptions

Many facts and myths about PE exist. Here at Atlantic Men’s Clinic, we aim to reveal the truths and clear up the falsehoods about this condition.

 

“Adult Premature Ejaculation Is Rare.”

 

False. PE is one of the most common sexual dysfunctions in men, affecting up to 1 in 3 adult males at some point. To put this in perspective, a baseball team has nine players. This means one-third of the team experiences premature ejaculation. That doesn’t seem so rare now, does it?

 

“Adult Premature Ejaculation Has More Than One Cause”

 

True. PE can be caused by a combination of factors, including anxiety, depression, injuries, medication side effects, hormonal imbalances, or hypersensitivity.

 

“Alcohol Can Cause Premature Ejaculation”

 

Mixed. While some men experience delayed ejaculation or difficulty reaching climax after drinking, a lot of men experiencing sexual dysfunction can have their symptoms exacerbated by alcohol.

 

“Adult Premature Ejaculation Isn’t Linked To Any Underlying Medical Condition”

 

False. Researchers have linked adult premature ejaculation to erectile dysfunction (ED), prostatitis, or hyperthyroidism.

 

”Premature Ejaculation Can Happen At Any Age”

 

True. This is not a young man’s affliction. While PE has been known to subside as a man has more sexual experiences, it has been determined that there is an uptick in PE cases as men reach the age of 50.

 

“There’s Nothing You Can Do To Help Adult Premature Ejaculation”

 

Very false! Several different treatments actually help adult PE. These include:

 

  • Pelvic floor exercises (also known as Kegels)
  • Desensitizing creams or sprays
  • Medications (PDE5 inhibitors)
  • The “Start & Stop” Method (reducing stimulation to help delay ejaculation)
  • The Squeeze Technique (squeezing the end of the penis where the head meets the shaft until the urge to ejaculate passes)
