You're not alone

We all can do it all night long, right guys? While it's very appealing to our ego, and tempting to lie about, it is far away from the truth.

The lead author of a comprehensive U.S. sex study, sociologist Edward Laumann from University of Chicago, reported in his study that 31 of women suffer from some form of sexual dysfunction.

I always believed in science, but this shameless attack on machoism is nothing but pure blasphemy. Burn him, burn him! Ah, good old Middle Ages, all problems could be solved so easily. Nowadays we put so much money in scientific research and all we get in return is more problems. :D

Premature ejaculation (PE)

Many studies show slightly to very different percentage of how common is each sexual dysfunction. Nonetheless almost all of them agree that premature ejaculation is by far the most common sexual dysfunction in men (should we add in women as well :D).

A pioneer and a giant in the field of human sexuality, Dr. Alfred Kinsey in his, at that time, controversial report 'Sexual Behavior In Human Male' (1948), based on several thousand interviews he conducted, demonstrated that 75% of men ejaculate within 2 minutes of vaginal penetration in more that half of their sexual encounters.

Less of a men

As you already know, being premature ejaculator is not fun at all. If you ever experienced it you probably know what it means to feel like less of a man. It is unbearably embarrassing. It is more than just embarrassing, it's awfully humiliating.

You've done it all right, flirting, dinner with candles and wine, God knows maybe even went through the 9 circles of hell of meeting her parents, and when the time comes to shamelessly enjoy in the fruits of your effort, you ...

Those 3 dots hopefully don't represent the number of strokes you manage to make before you finish. Heck, even if they represent the number of minutes, it's just too fast.

Is there a solution?

There are many tips and tricks that can help you to last longer during sex, but you need to be careful with them. I wrote several times about this trying to warn people that some exercises can damage their penis.

Doctors usually prescribe anti depressants, and they do work but as soon as you stop taking them PE will return. Other thing you need to have in mind when you're taking antidepressants is that they may cause drowsiness and because of that fact you should avoid driving or any other activity that requires concentration and alertness.

Another common option are anesthetic creams. They will delay ejaculation by desensitizing your penis. This might work but is there any sense in taking away all the pleasure from the act of making love?

The closest thing to real deal that I found is herbal medicine. They usually don't require prescription and some of them you can order online. However be advised, if you have any serious medical condition, consult your doctor before taking any drugs.
