Premature ejaculation (PE) affects up to 31% of Australian men, making it one of the most common forms of male sexual dysfunction. Because it’s an uncomfortable topic, the true number of men who experience early ejaculation could actually be much higher. The good news is that PE is treatable with a variety of options that can help you last longer in bed. We’ll go over what premature ejaculation is, your treatment options and how premature ejaculation pills work to delay orgasming too early. The good news? Premature ejaculation pills have been shown to help men with PE.
First let’s start with the basics. Premature ejaculation describes when a man finishes too quickly, oftentimes within a few minutes of penetration. If it’s happening every time or almost every time, you might consider seeking treatment. However, it’s important to understand the underlying causes of PE and what type of PE you have in order to identify the best course of action for you.
There are two types of PE: lifelong and acquired. Lifelong premature ejaculation begins with the first sexual encounter and early ejaculation happens every time or almost every time. Acquired premature ejaculation develops over time, when previous sexual experiences didn’t have any ejaculatory problems.
Both psychological and physiological factors can cause premature ejaculation in men of all ages. If your PE is being caused by psychological reasons, such as anxiety, stress, depression, negative sexual experiences or poor self esteem, addressing these issues through counselling or therapy can be an appropriate treatment plan.
Certain physiological factors can cause PE as well, including chemical imbalances in the brain that control ejaculation, hormonal imbalances like thyroid disease or high blood pressure and urological conditions related to the prostate or urethra. It’s important to share as many details as possible with your doctor to help them diagnose you and identify the best premature ejaculation treatment plan for you.
Premature ejaculation is often confused with erectile dysfunction, another form of male sexual dysfunction in which a man has difficulty attaining or maintaining an erection that is firm enough for sex. It’s possible to have both at the same time, but don’t worry - both have treatment options available. You can learn more about what causes erectile dysfunction and what you can do about it in our guide.
Depending on what’s causing the early ejaculation, you may consider therapy or counselling to address the underlying psychological issues. There are also behavioural techniques you can try before trying prescription medication, such as the stop-start technique and kegel pelvic floor exercises.
You can also find sprays, creams and wipes that have numbing agents in them to help reduce sensation and delay orgasm. These are available over the counter in Australia. For example, Lidocaine-Prilocaine is a topical cream that is applied directly to the tip of your penis to make it less sensitive and potentially help delay orgasm.
If behavioural techniques and over-the-counter options aren’t working, there are prescription premature ejaculation tablets that can be taken to help you last longer in bed. People looking to take PE pills should consult a doctor to help ensure that their health conditions or existing medications will not conflict with PE treatments.
A 2005 study showed that a man’s average ejaculation time during sexual activity is 5.5 minutes. Another study in 2008 suggests that the normal climax time for men should be about 3 to 13 minutes after penetration. While those studies give you results with actual figures, they are only meant to be a guide as sex and relationships vary.
In Australia, premature ejaculation pills belong to a class of drugs called SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors). Although SSRIs are classified as antidepressants, they have been shown to help with premature ejaculation when prescribed in smaller doses. In the management of PE, these doses are prescribed specifically for the symptom of PE.
SSRIs work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin plays a key role in the ejaculation control systems. When you take a SSRI, the drugs inhibit the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT receptors) and thus leads to delayed ejaculation.
