5 Potential Causes Of Premature Ejaculation

Nobody knows the real reason behind Premature ejaculation; it can occur due to any reason. It can be your little sex-drive or either stress causing it. We found the five potential causes of PE.

1. Nervousness

Not all premature ejaculation is caused by a physical problem. In most cases 'especially with men of the younger age group' premature ejaculation is caused by nervousness or anxiety.

According to a report from Hims & Hers Health, Inc., anxiety, especially sexual performance anxiety, has been identified as a potential factor in the onset of premature ejaculation (PE). In a study conducted in 2014, researchers discovered a clear association between anxiety, particularly related to sexual performance, and the occurrence of PE. This study emphasized the significant influence that anxiety can have on the development of this condition.

There can be many reasons as to why a young man can be experiencing total nervousness during sex that it disables him to partake normally in sex.

Some of the more common issues revolve around stress at work (or school), troubles in the relationship that are causing high drama and high tension, or even nervousness in front of someone new.

All of these things put the body in such a high state of stress that it won't work with you.

Whatever the issue may be, to resolve this kind of premature ejaculation, a man may need to work on his inner world first to try to figure out the source of his anxieties.

If he can understand the problem, he will be able to eliminate the root cause and not experience premature ejaculation again.

2. Hypersensitive skin

Some men may have extremely sensitive skin on his penis. The skin on the penis may be super sensitive that it becomes way too easily excited by any physical touch.

When such a thing is the case, the man may find it quite difficult to partake normally in sexual activity, because the sensations on the penis are too intense that he quickly ejaculates.

Although this situation may be frustrating, at least it is a good thing that this premature ejaculation issue has little to do with any chronic illnesses.

Men who have this condition on their penis skin is usually prescribed with some numbing cream to help decrease sensations on the penis.

Many men who have been saved by numbing creams that are easy to apply on the skin.

The numbing cream can be applied some 15 minutes before sex. It needs to be washed off before initiating sex though, to avoid numbing the partner's genital as well.

3. Psychological issues around sex

You may not be aware of this, but some men actually do have psychological issues around sex.

It's not just a girl's thing. Many boys may have gotten the wrong education about sex that they have grown up to have a negative or twisted notion about it.

As a result of that internal belief system, men like these may find it difficult to maintain an erection or control his ejaculation.

When it comes to men who have troubles in the bedroom due to a weird upbringing, what can help them is usually some kind of behavioral therapy?

This kind of coaching will direct the man to change his mindset about sex that it is healthy and absolutely normal to have sexual desires and help to eliminate old negative belief systems that are not serving his adult life.

It may take some time, but behavioral therapy with a professional coach will definitely pay off.

4. Tension in the relationship

Who says only girls go crazy when there is conflict in a relationship? Men also experience the same thing, but they just don't express their frustrations as much nor as freely as girls do.

But the bad news is, when a man represses too much of his own feelings about the conflict that is currently arising in the relationship, he may negatively affect his sexual performance.

You can't deny that men also have feelings.

It is possible that when he has a conflict or is fighting with his partner, he feels such a repulsion towards his partner that he becomes unable to stay long in an intimate connection because he subconsciously just wants to be left alone.

This kind of tension in a relationship will become toxic if not resolved immediately.

According to Mayo Clinic, it has been observed that relationship issues can be a contributing factor to the occurrence of premature ejaculation. This is particularly noteworthy if you have had previous sexual relationships where premature ejaculation was infrequent. In such cases, the presence of relationship difficulties may play a role in the development or exacerbation of premature ejaculation.

So, if you know that you?re having this kind of issue right now, pay attention to the communication issues before trying to fix it with sex.

5. Prostatitis

The prostate becomes very vulnerable to all kinds of diseases once a man gets near his midlife period.

One disease of the prostate that can become a potential cause of premature ejaculation is called prostatitis.

In layman's term, it is simply called prostate infection. The prostate infection itself is actually one of the most common male sexual dysfunctions that can affect men of any age group.

However, the chronic prostate infection can have a deeper effect that disturbs a man's ability to control his ejaculation.

Currently, experts still do not fully understand how prostatitis affects a man’s ejaculation to cause premature ejaculation, but the findings are convincing enough that there is a connection between the two.

Based on research conducted by the National Library of Medicine, a study involving 46 patients diagnosed with premature ejaculation revealed that a significant proportion of them exhibited prostatic inflammation. Specifically, 56.5% of the subjects were found to have prostatic inflammation, while chronic bacterial prostatitis was detected in 47.8% of individuals with premature ejaculation. These findings suggest a potential association between prostatic inflammation and the occurrence of premature ejaculation in the study population.

It has been observed that prostatitis can develop from when a man is still young and then continue to fester without any symptoms at all.

It may be a good idea to regularly have a check-up for this body part just to make sure your prostate is healthy.

6. Extreme fatigue

As already commonly discussed, premature ejaculation can often be caused by psychological issues.

With that said, some physical forms of fatigue can also indirectly cause the mind to be extremely exhausted.

Men who have a very demanding working schedule, tend to experience premature ejaculation more often than those who have a relatively relaxed job.

Jobs that demand everything out of you leave you feeling drained by the end of the day and this could indeed lend to a man’s occasional struggle with premature ejaculation.

So, this may be a bit of a relief to know you are simply tired and not particularly experiencing more severe medically. However, you should not take this issue lightly.

If you think your stressful job is affecting your health negatively, you need to try to adjust the way you work.

Also, if it helps, try to alter your diet so that your body will not suffer from fatigue even more because you’re eating unhealthy foods.

7. Genetic inheritance

Although many reasons for premature ejaculation are psychological, some studies have concluded that genetic also plays a role in making a man suffer from premature ejaculation.

The details are still relatively unknown at this time, but it does seem that some men may have inherited particular genes from their fathers that are typically found in men who struggle with premature ejaculation.

Currently, the findings are not fully comprehensible, but studies on twin brothers have concluded a good number to back up the claims.

With that said, knowing that premature ejaculation could be a genetic disorder, we may be able to find a better treatment that is more suitable to treat premature ejaculation from its root causes.

Be that as it may, we can’t simply throw out the window other possible treatments that include contemporary medication as well as psychological therapy. After all, these methods have proven quite useful, too.
