Premature Ejaculation Therapy in Tyler, TX
What is Premature Ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation (PE) is the release of semen during orgasm in men before he desires to do so. It is extremely common and can be quite stressful on the man and his partner. It has been reported to occur in 1 out of 3 men aged 18-59. Unfortunately, this can lead to embarrassment, depression, frustration, and overall dissatisfaction with sexual relations. Surprisingly, this is the most common type of sexual dysfunction in men, not erectile dysfunction. According to the American Urology Association guidelines 2020 (AUA), a new and simpler definition was established, stating that PE was a poor ejaculatory control and ejaculation within approximately 2 minutes after the start of penetrative sex. However, the majority of men appear to have ejaculation within 30-60 seconds. This can be categorized as “recently acquired” when previously was normal. Or it could be a “life-long” issue due to a hydroxytryptamine peripheral nerve hypersensitivity. But the exact cause is unknown.

What are the Treatment Options?
Psychological Therapy
Seeking the guidance of a mental health provider allows for discussions on relationships and experiences, aiding in the reduction of performance anxiety and effective stress coping.
Combining counseling with drug therapy is often the most beneficial approach. For those facing premature ejaculation, it can strain the emotional closeness with a partner, leading to feelings of anger, shame, and withdrawal.
Open communication and seeking help through relationship counseling or sex therapy can be crucial in addressing and resolving these challenges.
Behavioral Therapy
The Start-Stop Method
You and your partner stimulate your penis close to the point of orgasm then stop stimulation for about 30 seconds until you regain control of your response. Repeat this “start and stop” approach 3-4x before allowing yourself to orgasm. Continue to practice this method until you gain control.
The Squeeze Method
You and your partner stimulate your penis to the point of orgasm then gently squeeze the head of your penis for 20-30 seconds so that your erection begins to fade. Repeat this a few times before having an orgasm; continue to practice this until you gain control in delaying your orgasm.
Edging
This is the practice of purposeful stimulation to the point of Ejaculation before stopping and starting again. Usually this is performed with the aim to extend and intensify sexual enjoyment; however, this can help with premature ejaculation as well.
