Is pre-mature ejaculation genetic? -

Is pre-mature ejaculation genetic? -

Maybe.

Scientists have long suspected a genetic link to certain forms of premature ejaculation. In one study, ninety-one percent of men who suffered from lifelong premature ejaculation also had a first-relative with lifelong premature ejaculation. Other researchers have noted that men who suffer from premature ejaculation have a faster neurological response in the pelvic muscles. Simple exercises commonly suggested by sex therapists can significantly improve ejaculatory control for men with premature ejaculation caused by neurological factors. Often, these men may benefit from anti-anxiety medication or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as sertraline or paroxetine. Some men prefer using anaesthetic creams; however, these creams may also deaden sensations in the man-s partner, and are not generally recommended by sex therapists.

Most men experience premature ejaculation at least once in their lives. Often adolescents and young men experience -premature- ejaculation during their first sexual encounters, but eventually learn ejaculatory control. Adolescents tend to experience ejaculation more rapidly with older partners than they do if their partners are their own age or younger. Because there is great variability in both how long it takes men to ejaculate and how long both partners want sex to last, researchers have begun to form a quantitative definition of premature ejaculation. Current evidence supports an average ejaculation latency time (IELT) of seven to ten minutes. If the disorder is defined as an IELT percentile below 2.5, then premature ejaculation could be suggested by an IELT of less than about one and a half minutes. Nevertheless, it is well accepted that men with IELTs below 1.5 minutes could be -happy- with their performance and do not report a lack of control and therefore do not suffer from PE. On the other hand, a man with 2 minutes IELT could present with perception of poor control over his ejaculation, distressed about his condition, has interpersonal difficulties and therfore be diagnosed with PE.

Psychological factors also commonly contribute to premature ejaculation. While men sometimes underestimate the relationship between sexual performance and emotional well-being, premature ejaculation can be caused by temporary depression, stress over financial matters, unrealistic expectations about performance, a history of sexual repression, or an overall lack of confidence. Interpersonal dynamics strongly contribute to sexual function, and premature ejaculation can be caused by a lack of communication between partners, hurt feelings, or unresolved conflicts that interfere with the ability to achieve emotional intimacy. Neurological premature ejaculation can also lead to other forms of sexual dysfunction, or intensify the existing problem, by creating performance anxiety. In a less pathological context, premature ejaculation could also be simply caused by extreme arousal.

Some physical illnesses, such as a prostate infection, are also known to induce premature ejaculation. In other instances, premature ejaculation is caused by a physical injury that affects the nervous system. Certain medications, such as cold medications containing pseudoephedrine, also cause premature ejaculation. Sexual dysfunction is a common symptom of psychiatric afflictions ranging from bipolar disorder to post-traumatic stress disorder. In these cases, it is best to discuss the issues openly with a physician.

Today it is believed that the neurotransmitor serotonin (5HT) has a central role in modulating ejaculation. Several animal studies have demostrated its inhibitory effect on ejaculation modulated through the PGI system in the brain. Therfore, it is perceived that low level of serotonin in the synaptic cleft in these specific areas in the brain could cause premature ejaculation. This theory is further supported by the proven effectiveness of SSRIs, which increase serotonin level in the synapse, in treating PE.

Studies show that one in three men could have fixed their PE problem just by simply drinking less coffee every day, since caffeine has been proven to cause the male to ejaculate much sooner from the added energy.

This condition can be successfully treated. See links below.

Good Luck.

P.S. Richard Pryor once said about his wife, -My wife said to me, -Honey, you come too quick, and I said,-No Honey, you come too slow!-


no, your sexual glands are very sensitive.
no.
no not really its the game of mind
no...

it-s all in your brain -coz if you-re easily
stimulated by the feeling of doing your stuff
you-ll easily release it as well..
the faster the stimulation the faster it gets out..
If it really was genetic, then how could you ever pass on the gene?
Just joking...
ask your parents if they have that problem, then your grandparents! lol im kidding, sorry:(
