Premature Ejaculation (PE) – The Simple Facts
Premature ejaculation is when a guy cums too fast during sex – usually in less than 3 minutes after penetration. It’s actually one of the most common sexual problems guys have. The good news? There are ways to fix it.
Why It Happens:
Nervousness or stress about sex
Your penis being extra sensitive
Body chemistry (like serotonin levels in brain)
Rushing through masturbation when younger
Sometimes health issues
How to Know If You Have It:
You almost always cum within 1-3 minutes
You feel like you can’t control when you cum
It’s causing problems in your relationship
Easy Ways to Last Longer:
Use thicker condoms – reduces feeling
Try the “squeeze method” – gently squeeze below the head when you’re close
Slow down your breathing – helps relax
Take breaks during sex – switch positions
Long-Term Solutions:
Practice lasting longer when masturbating
Do kegel exercises (tighten the muscles you use to stop peeing)
Talk to a doctor about medication options
See a therapist if it’s stress-related
When to Get Help:
If it’s making you avoid sex
If you also have trouble getting hard
If it started suddenly
Remember:
Almost all guys deal with this at some point
It doesn’t mean anything’s wrong with you
Most cases can be improved with simple techniques
Don’t be embarrassed – doctors hear about this all the time. If it’s bothering you, there are solutions that work.
