Premature ejaculation Definition
Premature ejaculation is one of the most common ejaculation problem. It’s where the male ejaculates too quickly during sexual intercourse. Dukes Pharmacy in Muswell Hill offers online Doctor service for Premature ejaculation treatment in Muswell Hill area.
Ejaculation is usually considered to be premature if it occurs within the first 2 minutes of sex. However, it’s up to each couple to decide if they’re happy with the time taken – there’s no definition of how long sex should last.
In the blog post we look at what Premature ejaculation is, causes of Premature ejaculation and the various treatment options.
Premature ejaculation causes
A variety of psychological and physical factors can cause a man to suddenly experience premature ejaculation.
Physical causes can include:
Psychological causes may include:
- depression
- stress
- relationship problems
- anxiety about sexual performance (particularly at the start of a new relationship, or when a man has had previous problems with sexual performance)
It’s possible for some men to have always experienced premature ejaculation since becoming sexually active. A number of possible causes for this can be:
- Conditioning – it’s possible that early sexual experiences can influence future sexual behaviour. For example, if a teenager conditions himself to ejaculate quickly to avoid being caught masturbating, it may later be difficult to break the habit.
- A traumatic sexual experience from childhood – this can range from being caught masturbating to sexual abuse.
- A strict upbringing and beliefs about sex.
- Biological reasons – some men may find their penis is extra sensitive.

Priligy tablets

How effective is Priligy
Priligy was originally developed by Janssen, and is specifically indicated for the on-demand premature ejaculation treatment. Over 15,000 men have received Priligy in pre-marketing and post-marketing clinical studies, where it was well tolerated and demonstrated to have a favourable safety profile. This is the largest and most comprehensive clinical trial program to date for a drug therapy to treat premature ejaculation. Read more on Priligy.
Measures you can try yourself
It can sometimes help to:
- masturbate an hour or two before having sex
- use a thick condom to help decrease sensation
- take a deep breath to briefly shut down the ejaculatory reflex (an automatic reflex of the body during which ejaculation occurs)
- have sex with your partner on top (to allow them to pull away when you are close to ejaculating)
- take breaks during sex and think about something boring
Couples therapy
If you’re in a long-term relationship, you may benefit from having couples therapy. During these sessions, the therapist will:
- encourage couples to explore any relationship issues they have, and give them advice about resolving them
- show the couple techniques that can help you “unlearn” the habit of premature ejaculation (the two most popular techniques are the “squeeze” and “stop-go” techniques)
Stop and start: You or your partner stimulate your penis until your feel like you’re going to have an orgasm. Stop the arousal for about 30 seconds or until the feeling passes. Start the stimulation again and repeat three or four more times before you actually ejaculate.
The Squeeze: It works the same way as the start and stop method. But, when you feel like you’re reaching orgasm, you or your partner squeezes the head of your penis until you lose the erection. Repeat this a few times before ejaculating.
Topical anaesthetics and condoms
The use of topical anaesthetics such as lidocaine or prilocaine can help but may be transferred and absorbed to the vagina, causing decreased sensation. Condoms can also be used and are effective, particularly when combined with local anaesthesia.
