Premature ejaculation is a problem that many men face, characterized by the inability to control ejaculation during sexual intercourse.

Symptoms and signs include:

• Ejaculation that occurs within a minute after penetration.
• Feelings of frustration or shame.
• Difficulty concentrating during sex.

Data from a study published in 2024 in the Journal of Sexual Medicine shows that about 30% of men report episodes of premature ejaculation. Additionally, the research indicates that 60% of men with premature ejaculation also exhibit elevated levels of anxiety.

Anxiety

Anxiety is a common factor contributing to premature ejaculation. The fear of failure can lead to a vicious cycle of stress and unsatisfactory performance.

Did you know that a pelvic therapist can help you understand what’s happening? Working on your breathing can assist in the control process of premature ejaculation. Pelvic muscle exercises are also great allies.
