Do you have concerns about the amount of time that you need to climax? Or maybe you find yourself incapable of ejaculating in the end of sexual activity with a partner? If so, you could be experiencing a problem known as delayed ejaculation.
The following section will acquaint you with some of the most common questions about the condition.
What Are The Types of Delayed Ejaculation?
Delayed ejaculation is defined as a man’s inability to climax through a reasonable amount of sexual stimulation. It is divided in two varieties: lifelong and acquired.
- Lifelong delayed ejaculation: the problem has been present since sexual maturity took place. The delayed ejaculation could be situational (a man incapable of climaxing in certain situations) and generalized – a man incapable of climaxing in any way, even through masturbation.
- Acquired delayed ejaculation: after a period of normal sexual functioning, a man suddenly begins experiencing delayed ejaculation. The infidelity of a partner, for example, is one of the problems that could be leading to acquired delayed ejaculation.
Is Delayed Ejaculation A Common Problem?
Delayed ejaculation is a much less common problem than other male sexual issues like premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. Statistics about the condition show that:
- Less than 10 percent of men suffer from delayed ejaculation.
- In a survey, eight percent of men reported that they had experienced anorgasmia continuing for at least two months in their lifetime.
- The majority of men are capable of climaxing within five minutes of intercourse. Men that suffer from delayed ejaculation can continue for 15 minutes or longer without ejaculating.
What Are The Most Common Symptoms?
Delayed ejaculation is a condition characterized by a range of very easy to recognize symptoms. The most obvious one is the inability to climax, regardless of the intensity of sexual stimulation.
Some men that suffer from delayed ejaculation will be capable of climaxing solely through masturbation. Others will need a highly specific type of stimulation, in order to climax with a partner.
In all instances, the problem will result in unsatisfactory intimacy and relationship problems. Many think that a man’s ability to have sex for a very long period of time is a good thing but the issue will be connected to a lot of frustration and embarrassment.

When Should I look For Treatment?
Do you believe that you suffer from delayed ejaculation? If so, you have several possible courses of action.
Seek professional assistance if you believe that delayed ejaculation is affecting your love life. Many men that suffer from delayed ejaculation have to end relationships because of this issue. Instead of waiting for your current romantic involvement to come to an end, seek professional assistance now.
Overcoming delayed ejaculation is also essential if you plan to have children. Trying to conceive and to deal with such a problem will put you under a lot of stress that will possibly make the condition even worse.
Is Treatment Effective?
Various treatment options are available (more about that here) for men suffering from delayed ejaculation but you have to be patient and willing to open up about the issue. Many individuals refrain from seeking any kind of treatment because of embarrassment.
Delayed ejaculation is most often caused by psychological factors. A therapist can help you identify the cause of the problem and develop the right treatment plan that will gradually result in normal sexual function.
The treatment plan will involve a range of exercises and homework assignments that you will have to do together with a partner. These assignments are designed to help you explore your sexuality and overcome the inhibitions that are preventing you from climaxing.
