Response from Men's Sexual Health:

Premature Ejaculation is a very common condition, with reports of well over 50% of men being affected at some time in their lives, for some men, it is a temporary problem, and for others it can be a longer term problem. There are many factors that can cause this ranging from depression through to a highly sensitive Glans (Head of the Penis). However, in most cases, the cause can be treated very easily. There are various different ways of helping to overcome this condition, and it will depend on the cause, in some cases it may be about how you are having sexual intercourse, and in some cases it may be that some medication is needed. We would suggest making an appointment to see your own GP, it is appreciated that you may feel quite embarrassed to discuss this, but please be assured that this is one condition your GP deals with very frequently. Remember this is one of those conditions that men rarely talk about, so not only can you feel embarrassed to talk to your GP about it, but you rarely hear of it simple because men don’t tell others about it Once the GP has seen you, they will be best able to recommend what will work with you, thus alleviating this problem.
