General Information

What is premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is defined as persistent or repeated ejaculation with slight stimulation prior to or shortly after intercourse. Recent data indicates that premature ejaculation is the most common form of sexual dysfunction affecting tens of millions of men. Ejaculatory disorders can have devastating effects on relationships and can contribute to lack of self-confidence, embarrassment and trauma.

What causes premature ejaculation?

Current research suggests that premature ejaculation is a medical disorder with a psychological as well as a physical basis. Psychological explanations often look to early sexual experiences that conditioned rapid responsiveness. A second theory asserts that anxiety, for some men, is heightened in sexual situations. The pressure to perform under heightened anxiety may be another cause for premature ejaculation. This performance anxiety may lead to a vicious cycle that is repeated in new relationships. Contrary to popular opinion, another theory argues that premature ejaculation is related to a low sex drive. Sexual relationships proceed through three levels: Desire, Arousal, and Orgasm. The real problem for some men may be that they miss the first step. Lack of full arousal may result in less rather than more control over ejaculations. Other researchers have noted that men who suffer from premature ejaculation have a neurological problem of hypersensitivity in the penis and/or hyperspasticity of the pelvic muscles. A recent study disputes this assertion. Eighteen patients with a life long history of premature ejaculation were tested under laboratory conditions. The study concluded that penile hypersensitivity does not appear to be a major factor in premature ejaculation.

Treatments for Premature Ejaculation

Diversionary techniques, like concentrating on something other than sex to delay an orgasm usually do not work, nor does getting drunk, using more than one condom or using creams to numb the penis. These practices are not only ineffective they also deny a man the full pleasure that nature intended. There are some legitimate methods that have proven to be effective:

The squeeze method originated by Masters and Johnson consists of squeezing the penis hard enough to partially lose an erection prior to ejaculation. The goal of the technique is to become aware of the sensations leading to an orgasm.

The start-stop method consists of the partner starting and stopping stimulation prior to ejaculation. The series of exercises progresses to intercourse and over a period of weeks to gradually increasing ejaculatory control. The goal of either technique is mutual satisfaction for both partners. While exercise methods may be effective, they rely on the cooperation of the man's partner which in some cases may be a problem.

Pharmacological treatment of premature ejaculation is now receiving increased attention from physicians and the pharmaceutical industry. The use of low dose antidepressants including Anfronil, Clomipramine, Prozac and Zoloft have been reported to be successful in delaying ejaculation for many men. The adverse side effects from such prescription medications is a deterrent for many men seeking a safe and effective means for overcoming premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation has historically been considered a psychosexual disorder, however, there is a growing body of scientific data that suggests that it has an organic basis related to serotonin levels in the brain. Scientific evidence indicates that increasing the amount of serotonin to the central nervous system through the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI's) appears to increase the latency or period of time from penetration to ejaculation. MD Healthline's Climatrol formula provides natural herbal serotonin precursors and nutrients to speed up the chemical reaction in the brain allowing more serotonin to be formed and available for use by the body while simultaneously delivering safe and effective herbal antidepressants.
