Delayed Ejaculation Treatment

Delayed ejaculation or “lasting too long”, is the difficulty or inability to achieve climax or ejaculation during sexual intercourse, despite normal sexual desire, arousal, and stimulation.

A number of factors, singly or in combination, may contribute to delayed ejaculation. These include physiological factors that affect the ability of the penis to experience sensation, including trauma, stroke, or damage to the penis or nerves leading to the penis, or as a result of chronic disease such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or alcohol or substance abuse.

 
Certain medications can also impact the sensory capacity of the penis to respond to sexual stimulation, including anti-depressants and blood pressure medication.
 

Emotional and psychological factors may also delay orgasm in men. These include dissociation, history of sexual abuse, or stress or worry that distract from being present in the sexual connection.

Delayed ejaculation may, on the surface, appear to be a positive trait, yet, it can lead to sexual avoidance if it results in pain, resentment and recrimination. This may reinforce emotional and psychological distress in the form of performance anxiety, fear, and reduced intimacy.
