Millions of adult men all over the world experience premature ejaculation (PE) and that puts great strain on their lives; many wonder what the most effectual treatment is and how they can control ejaculation.

Some define premature ejaculation as ejaculating just before or soon after penetration, while others offer broader definition and describe it as ejaculating right before the man's partner has achieved an orgasm; another researchers put a time frame on it and define premature ejaculation as one that occurs within two minutes of penetration.

Can PE be cured?

As a rule premature ejaculation can be successfully treated – if the case of ЗУ is mild and a man simply wants to last longer in bed, he can try a few techniques on his own or with the help of his partner, and a visit to the doctor's office is not necessary.

The most popular self-applied techniques are the squeeze technique, the start and stop technique and the use of simple mental distraction. The first two techniques can be practiced by both partners and simply aim at teaching the men to control the ejaculation, and the mental distraction is a technique when a man forces himself to think of something distracting when having sex in order to dull the excitement. Kegel exercises are also recommended because they help gain control of the PC muscles what gives control over the ejaculation.

In case you ejaculate very quickly you should pay your doctor a visit – there is nothing embarrassing as this condition is more common than most men think. The treatment that the physician might recommend also depends on the particular circumstances – as a rule the use of "long-love" condoms or desensitizing gels is all that is needed – but keep in mind that sometimes they can cause irritation to the partner.

In more severe cases certain medications are prescribed – in the past years the most common drugs that are given to men suffering from premature ejaculation are the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors – they have been clinically proven to help control ejaculation. Unfortunately, as with almost all chemical medications, side effects are possible – while the SSRIs delay the ejaculation while they are administered, when the treatment ceases the case of premature ejaculation might even worsen.

Certain natural treatments can also be used to treat premature ejaculation - Griffonia Seed Extract, Passion Flower Extract, Kava Kava and a few others are sold under different brands and many men swear by them. All these products have 100% herbal ingredients, do not contain any man-made chemicals and have absolutely no long or short-term side effects.

And last, but not least, it should be noted that the change of the diet and the lifestyle might help great – if a man adds more raw food and fruits to his diet, cuts down on the use of alcohol and eats more fish and lean meat, there is a chance that he will last longer in bed as well. Exercise also plays a great role in the overall person's health, and that in turn will inevitably contribute to a better sex life.
