You still need a full work up from a doctor to determine what is causing the erectile dysfunction and specifically the premature ejaculation.  If it's not physical then you may need to see a therapist to reveal what psychological issues may be complicating your physical problems.

Hi Cvsales,

 

 

Online sites are great resources for information to be able to ask all the right questions when it's time to see your doctor, but they can not take the place of your doctor's sound medical advice.

 

You can read about premature ejaculation here. There are some listed symptoms and causes. There is also a section here about prevention and treatment. Although there is no real prevention for premature ejaculation, there are some suggestions here.

 

Dr Owens at Sexualhealth.com also had this to say about premature ejaculation, "Meanwhile you can masturbate, if you want to. This is a very good way of improving your erections, and there are several exercises you can do in order to lengthen the time before you ejaculate. You can read about these exercises on our page dedicated to rapid ejaculation or in the chapter called "Developing Ejaculatory Control" in the book, The New Male Sexuality by Bernie Zilbergeld. I can highly recommend this book to you. You can read the rest of the article here.

 

Hope this helps! Take care and stay in touch. Let us know how you are doing!

CV- Just want to make sure that you have not been misinformed and were lead to believe that ED drugs are somehow a cure or treatment for premature ejaculation. Although there has been some research that suggests the possibility of such a benefit, it is inconclusive. So if you are having problems with PE talk to your doctor and see a therapist who is familiar with treating sexual problems.

The basic idea of the treatment is to teach the two partners about sexual stimulation and response in order to help them understand their own needs. Instead of using willpower to force the mind, the partners should focus on their ability to create an intimate setting that would provide ideal stimulation and so solve the problem.

Men can certainly use this approach on their own, although the risk of failure is significant. There are little tricks everybody can use to bring sex closer to an ideal situation. Relaxation always helps, which means that candle-lit rooms, romantic dinners, a bit of alcohol and perhaps some porn could prove very helpful, if both partners agree on this approach. Avoid delicate issues in conversation and focus on having fun in a relaxed way. Hug and caress instead of rushing to the sex part and be sure to take your time.

Another thing that might help is to train your pubococcygeus muscle and bring it under your control. Being able to relax and tense that muscle at will is likely to help in some cases.
