Premature ejaculation

What is Premature Ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation (PE), also known as "bird that can't catch its prey" or "gulf collapse," refers to a condition in which a male partner is unable to control ejaculation long enough for the female partner to reach orgasm.

Premature ejaculation is a medical condition that has three characteristics that affect the individual who has it:

Ejaculation occurs before or during penetration, and is too short.

The individual cannot control ejaculation.

Lack of pleasure or problems in the relationship between partners.

1 in 3 men in the Asia-Pacific region experience premature ejaculation.

Treatment for Premature Ejaculation:

Behavioral techniques such as "stop-start" and "squeeze" techniques.
Consultation with a psychologist.
Reduction of sensitivity in the genital area through the use of thicker condoms and topical creams or sprays, which reduce sensitivity at the end of the penis and may cause the vagina to lose feeling.
Treatment with oral medication, which can be taken as needed, once per day, and is safe.

The impact of premature ejaculation:

Men's thoughts:

Men with premature ejaculation feel anxious about their relationships, sometimes to the point where they avoid close relationships altogether. Even married couples may feel that something is missing, which can affect their intimacy.

Women's thoughts:

Women whose partners experience premature ejaculation often feel dissatisfied with their sexual experiences and are worried about their relationship. Many women feel angry and resentful because premature ejaculation seems like a problem that the man should be able to control.
