What Is Premature Ejaculation?

How Does Ejaculation Work?

Ejaculation is controlled by the central nervous system. When men are sexually stimulated, signals are sent to their spinal cord and brain. When men reach a certain level of excitement, signals are then sent from their brains to their reproductive organs. This causes semen to be released through the penis (ejaculation).

Ejaculation has 2 phases: emission and expulsion.

Phase 1: Emission

Emission is when sperm moves from the testicles to the prostate and mixes with seminal fluid to make semen. The vasa deferentia are tubes that help move the sperm from the testicles through the prostate to the base of the penis. (When you are talking about just 1 of these tubes, it is called a vas deferens.)

Phase 2: Expulsion

Expulsion is when the muscles at the base of the penis contract. This forces semen out of the penis. Usually, ejaculation and orgasm (climax) happen at the same time. Some men climax without ejaculating. In most cases, erections go away after this step.

Premature Ejaculation and Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Sometimes PE is a problem for men who have erection problems (erectile dysfunction or ED). This is when men are not able to get or keep an erection that’s firm enough for sex. Since an erection goes away after ejaculation, it can be difficult to know if the problem is PE or ED. ED should be treated first. Premature ejaculation may not be a problem once the ED is treated.

Symptoms of Premature Ejaculation

The key symptoms of premature ejaculation include:

• Ejaculation routinely occurs with little sexual stimulation and with little control
• Decreased sexual pleasure because of poor control over ejaculation
• Feelings of guilt, embarrassment or frustration

Causes of Premature Ejaculation

The exact causes of this condition are still unknown. Experts recognized that this condition, which is once thought to be just psychological, involves a complex interaction of both biological and psychological factors. These include relationship stress, sexual inexperience, too much stimulation, anxiety, depression, novelty of a relationship, and issues related to control and intimacy. Other factors include upbringing, traumatic sex experiences, and conditioning.

Aside from biological and psychological factors, premature ejaculation can also be the result of the following medical conditions: diabetes, prostate disease, multiple sclerosis, high blood pressure, and thyroid problems. It can also be because of illicit drug use and excessive alcohol consumption.

Diagnosis of Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is diagnosed based on typical symptoms. To understand your problem, your doctor will need to discuss your sexual history with you. Be frank and open. The more your doctor knows, the better he or she can help you.

If your sexual history fails to reveal significant mental or emotional factors that may contribute to premature ejaculation, your doctor may want to examine you. Your doctor may examine your prostate or do neurological tests (tests of your nervous system) to determine if there is a physical problem that could be causing premature ejaculation.
