Premature Ejaculation Explained

What is Premature (Early) Ejaculation?

What is premature ejaculation and what does it mean to you and your partner? From losing your self-confidence to your partner's desire to connect sexually, early ejaculation often leads to a sexless marriage and the demise of many relationships. I believe in sharing knowledge that truly empowers people, so in this post I address the most frequently asked questions about premature (early) ejaculation. This includes what you need to do to stop premature ejaculation from happening so you can time your ejaculation, connect with confidence, and satisfy your partner in bed.

The definition of premature ejaculation (PE) is ejaculating before you or your partner are ready during intercourse. Ejaculating within 3 minutes of intercourse is generally considered to be premature (early) ejaculation. But the reality is that whether it is 3 minutes or 20 minutes, premature ejaculation is not lasting long enough for you and your partner to feel fulfilled sexually.

When does premature ejaculation happen?

Studies indicate that up to 80% of men suffer from sexual dysfunction problems including premature ejaculation. This is why “premature ejaculation quora” is such a popular search term on Google. Premature ejaculation can happen before foreplay, while giving foreplay, receiving foreplay, applying a condom, during penetration, during intercourse and when changing sexual position. Premature ejaculation also happens for many men during masturbation.

What's most important in an intimate relationship is a fulfilling emotional connection where both partners are able to express themselves and enjoy their sexual time together with the end result of feeling engaged and fulfilled sexually. This is why it’s so crucial to upgrade your knowledge base as well as your sexual technique so you can fix premature ejaculation for good.

The desire to reach an ultimate level of connection is why most men want premature ejaculation explained - so they know how to naturally last longer and achieve mutual satisfaction.

How long should I last before I ejaculate?

This is a question many men ask Google. While lasting for five minutes is considered to be "average" for men during intercourse that is not at all optimal because most women take 15-20 minutes to reach an orgasm!

One of the reasons many women are unable to orgasm during intercourse is because their man doesn't have the ability to in control without ejaculating. In addition to this, most women don't know how to focus their attention correctly to complete the orgasm program in their brain.

What premature ejaculation means

Ultimately, what premature ejaculation means is that a male has little or no control over his sexual experience. It's not his fault, it simply means that he is missing some important knowledge. He is NOT broken, he just needs premature ejaculation explained so he can advance his sex education, naturally last longer, and achieve sex mastery.

Premature ejaculation and anxiety explained

The desire to reach an ultimate level of connection is why most men want premature ejaculation and anxiety explained - so they can naturally last longer and achieve mutual satisfaction. Most males and females have not been taught a sex education relative to engaging sexually so there is much confusion and guesswork involved!

Not knowing how to focus your attention sexually - and what to switch your attention between - can cause premature ejaculation anxiety. By updating your knowledge base and applying the correct sexual technique, thoughts around ejaculating prematurely will significantly be reduced and with practice you can eliminate PE (and the related anxiety) completely.

What are the main causes of early ejaculation?

So what are the main causes of early ejaculation? Confusing your brain with the wrong sexual focus before foreplay, during foreplay, leading up to penetration, applying a condom, during penetration, during intercourse, and also during changes of sexual position, results in heightening your awareness of sensation in your penis.

Wrong sexual focus includes too much attention on your own experience (aka thinking about the problem) as well as too much focus on how arousing your partner is.

Accurately correcting your focus in the moment ensures that your brain receives the right amount of arousing signals to stay in a hard and in control mode of operation.

Premature ejaculation timing explained

The following are the common focus imbalances experienced during sexual activity which cause premature ejaculation:

1. Ejaculating before foreplay

When you ejaculate before foreplay, chances are that you have been overly focused on yourself. Whether you are worrying about your penis (or trying not to worry about it), how aroused you are feeling, or overindulging in images of sexual fantasies and the sensations in your penis, any of these focal points can overwhelm your senses to the point where you ejaculate far too early.

2. Ejaculating during foreplay

Ejaculating during foreplay indicates you are overly focusing on how arousing your partner is and how aroused you are feeling, trying not to think about ejaculating and worrying about ejaculating. This indulgence in your own experience overstimulates your brain sexually.

3. Ejaculating when putting a condom on or applying lubrication

Ejaculating when putting a condom on or when applying lubrication, tends to be caused by overly focusing on how aroused you are feeling, how overstimulated you are and trying not to think about ejaculating. See how there's a common thread of self-focus going on here?

4. Ejaculating at the start of penetration

Ejaculating at the start of penetration indicates you have focused too much on yourself during foreplay, or how arousing your partner is - and trying not to think about ejaculating as you penetrate! A dry entry increases friction and increases the likelihood of over stimulating your brain sexually at penetration time.

5. Ejaculating while changing position

When you ejaculate while changing position, you are either focusing too much on how arousing your partner is, how aroused you are feeling, worrying about ejaculating, and trying not to think about ejaculating early. You cannot try not to think about a black car without thinking about a black car, and the same is true regarding arousal of your penis.

6. Ejaculating during intercourse

When you ejaculate during intercourse, you are switching back too frequently to thoughts about your penis - either worrying about ejaculating, trying not to think about ejaculating, or trying not to focus on the sensations in your penis and how arousing your partner and/or intercourse are for you.

7. Ejaculating early during foreplay, putting a condom on, at the start of penetration and during intercourse

Ejaculating early during all sexual activity, indicates that you are way too focused on your own experience! Worrying about ejaculating and trying not to think about ejaculating both send your brain clear signals that ejaculation is the program you want your brain to initiate. 

8. Premature ejaculation with erectile dysfunction

Feeling over stimulated during foreplay, then losing your erection at the start of penetration indicates you are focusing too much on how aroused you are feeling during foreplay, then trying not to feel over aroused during foreplay, then overcompensating your change of focus to the point of losing your hard erection! Worrying about losing your erection before you penetrate can also cause this problem. In addition to this, when the muscles which support a strong erection become weak, it can take longer to restore a hard erection after ejaculating early.

9. Premature ejaculation and ED during intercourse

Feeling over stimulated during foreplay, putting a condom on and at the start of penetration and then losing erection hardness during intercourse results from focusing too much on how aroused you are feeling during foreplay, worrying about ejaculating (and trying not to think about ejaculating at the start of penetration), then trying not to feel overstimulated during intercourse and worrying about losing your erection during intercourse. Too much focus either way will cause PE or ED.

10. Premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction explained

Premature ejaculation is predominantly caused by a male being overly focused on himself, thinking about how aroused he is feeling or how arousing his partner is, worrying about ejaculating early and trying not to think about ejaculating early.

The problem here is that most men haven't received a sex education relevant to completing a sexual act. Therefore, when a man finds himself starting to feel like he's losing control he doesn't know what to switch his focus from, and to. This can lead to an erectile dysfunction (weak erection) issue as he wildly catapults himself from one end of the sexual arousal scale to the other with no fun in between.

As you know, this kind of sex is not fulfilling for either partner. Sex can become an embarrassing and labor intensive process as a man desperately tries to control the awareness of feeling in his penis so he can focus on completing the job.

How to prevent premature ejaculation without medication

It's important to understand that wrong sexual focus causes premature ejaculation and many other forms of sexual dysfunction including erectile dysfunction and being unable to ejaculate or reach orgasm. Therefore, to prevent premature ejaculation without medication a male needs to upgrade his knowledge and skill base so he can correctly balance his sexual focus between himself, his partner and the actions of sex. This gives him the control he seeks.

Many clients have told me it is extremely satisfying to prevent premature ejaculation without medication!

How to cure premature ejaculation and last longer in bed

Premature ejaculation and women

Lasting long enough can be challenging, especially if his partner has difficulty reaching an orgasm. The 80% of women who have problems reaching an orgasm during intercourse will usually rely on an extended amount of foreplay time to feel sexually fulfilled.

Staying hard and in control for your woman

How many times do you find yourself panicking when your partner starts making happy noises? Not only can this make you feel excessively turned on, it indicates that the request for penetration will soon be forthcoming! This can lead to a great deal of performance anxiety for a man who is already concerned about his ability to last long enough and can intensify the pressure he is feeling.

During foreplay a woman's male partner needs to stay hard and in control for the required duration. It may be 10, 20, 30 or more minutes before she is ready for penetrative intercourse, however when she is ready she expects her partner to be ready too! 

Correctly balancing your sexual focus during foreplay makes penetration easy and when penetration is easy, you naturally experience less performance anxiety which then enables you to stay hard and in control so you can last longer during intercourse. 

The best cure for premature ejaculation

The best cure for premature ejaculation is to focus on the actions of fulfilling your partner. This enables you to maintain and enjoy a fulfilling emotional connection while you naturally stay in control of when you ejaculate.  

There is a fine balance here however, because too much focus on your partner can cause you to lose your hard erection! In addition to this, if your mind wanders during sex you can lose your erection or lose control, depending on how you try to compensate when you realize you have lost focus.

Accidental ejaculation happens when your brain receives the incorrect ratio of sexually arousing signals or it is receiving signals in the wrong order (or the signals are unrelated to the sexual act you are performing). Balancing your sexual focus requires slight adjustments throughout foreplay, penetration, and intercourse to ensure you stay hard and in control.

Just like when you are learning to drive a car, focusing on the wrong thing at the wrong time can cause accidents. To cure premature ejaculation you need to know how to smoothly move through the gears in the right order with the right timing. This enables an enjoyable and satisfying experience for you and your partner.
