The Management
of Premature
Ejaculation:
A Patient’s Guide
How does ejaculation occur?
Ejaculation, controlled by the central nervous system,
happens when friction on the genitalia and other forms of
sexual stimulation provide impulses that are sent up the
spinal cord and into the brain. Ejaculation has two phases:
Phase I: Emission
The vas deferens (the tubes that store and transport
sperm from the testes) contract to squeeze the sperm
toward the base of the penis through the prostate
gland and into the urethra. The seminal vesicles release
secretions that combine with the sperm to make semen.
The ejaculation is unstoppable at this stage.
Phase II: Ejaculation
The muscles at the base of the penis and urethra contract,
forcing semen out of the penis (ejaculation and orgasm)
while the bladder neck contracts. Orgasm can occur
without the delivery of semen (ejaculation) from the penis;
this causes a “dry” orgasm. Normally, erections decline
following ejaculation.
What is premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation is ejaculation that occurs earlier
than desired, causing distress to either one or both
partners. It is one of the most common male sexual
disorders, affecting about 20-30% of men of all ages.
Premature ejaculation is a frustrating problem that
can reduce the enjoyment of sex, harm relationships
and impair quality of life. The occurrence of premature
ejaculation is not in itself harmful or a sign of other health
problems. If premature ejaculation is not a problem for a
man and his partner, treatment is not needed. However,
when the problem occurs frequently and/or causes distress
to the man or his partner, treatment is available and is
often helpful.
Can premature ejaculation
develop later in life?
Premature ejaculation can occur at any age. Surprisingly,
aging appears not to be a cause of premature ejaculation.
However, the aging process typically causes changes in
erectile function and ejaculation. Erections may not be as
firm or as large. Erections may be maintained for a shorter
period before ejaculating. The feeling that an ejaculation is
about to happen may be shorter. These factors can result
in an older man having an ejaculation earlier than when he
was younger.
Can both premature ejaculation
and erectile dysfunction affect
a man at the same time?
Sometimes premature ejaculation may be a problem in
men who have erectile dysfunction; erectile dysfunction
is the inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection
sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. In
fact, premature ejaculation may be caused by erectile
the management of
premature ejaculation
dysfunction especially in a man who needs continual
penile stimulation to maintain his erection.
Some men do not understand that the loss of erection
normally occurs after ejaculation. They may wrongly
complain to their doctors that they have erectile
dysfunction when the actual problem is premature
ejaculation. It is recommended that the erectile
dysfunction be treated first if you experience both
ED and premature ejaculation, since the premature
ejaculation may resolve on its own once the ED has
been adequately treated.
What causes premature
ejaculation?
Although the exact cause of premature ejaculation
is not known, new studies suggest that serotonin, a
natural substance produced by nerves, is important.
A breakdown of the actions of serotonin in the brain
may be a cause. Studies have found that high amounts
of serotonin in the brain slow the time to ejaculation
while low amounts of serotonin can produce a
condition like premature ejaculation.

Myths surrounding
premature ejaculation
Myth: Premature ejaculation is a problem that is
entirely in one’s mind.
Fact: New studies have shown that a low level of
serotonin, a natural substance that is produced by
nerves, may be a possible cause.
Myth: Alcohol is a good method for controlling
premature ejaculation.
Fact: Although alcohol can delay orgasm, it is not an
effective treatment for premature ejaculation.
When should a doctor be seen?
When premature ejaculation happens so frequently
that it interferes with your sexual pleasure, it becomes
a medical problem requiring the care of a doctor.
To understand the problem, the doctor will need to
ask questions about your sexual history such as the
following:
•	How often does the premature ejaculation occur?
•	How long have you had this problem?
•	Is the problem specific to one partner? Or does it
happen with every partner?
•	Does premature ejaculation occur with all or just
some attempts at sexual relations?
•	How much stimulation results in premature
ejaculation?
•	What type of sexual activity (i.e., foreplay,
masturbation, intercourse, use of visual clues, etc.)
is engaged in and how often?
•	How has premature ejaculation affected sexual
activity?
•	What is the quality of your personal relationships?
•	How does premature ejaculation affect your quality
of life?
•	Are there any factors that make premature
ejaculation worse or better (i.e. drugs, alcohol, etc.)?
Usually, laboratory testing is not necessary unless the
history and a physical examination reveal something
more complicated.
How to talk to your partner
about premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation affects not only you but also
your partner and your sexual relationship. In an
episode of premature ejaculation, the intimacy shared
with a partner suddenly comes to a quick end. You
might feel angry, ashamed, and frustrated, and turn
away from your partner. At the same time, your
partner may be upset with the rapid emotional change,
or the outcome of the sexual encounter.
Communication is not only important to successful
diagnosis and treatment, but can also help a
partner understand the feelings of the individual.
Sometimes couple counseling or sex therapy may be
useful. Together a couple might develop techniques
(for example, the squeeze technique discussed in
the management of
premature ejaculation

behavioral therapy section) that may prolong an
erection. Most importantly, the couple should try to
relax. Anxiety (especially performance anxiety) only
makes this condition worse.
What treatments are available?
There are several treatment choices for premature
ejaculation: psychological therapy, behavioral therapy,
and medications. Be sure to discuss these treatments
with your doctor and together decide which of the
following options is best for you:
•	Psychological therapy addresses feelings a man may
have about sexuality and sexual relationships.
•	Behavioral therapy makes use of exercises to help
a man develop tolerance to stimulation and, as a
result, delay ejaculation.
•	Medical therapy includes oral medications that can
cause a delay in the time it takes from the beginning
of sexual stimulation until ejaculation occurs. These
oral medications are the same medications that are
commonly used to treat depression. But in men with
premature ejaculation, they are used to improve
the problem of premature ejaculation, not to treat
depression. In addition, topical anesthetic creams
may be used to increase the time it takes from the
beginning of sexual stimulation until ejaculation
occurs.
Psychological therapies
Psychological therapy can be used as the only
treatment or can be used together with medical
therapy or behavioral therapy. The focus of
psychological therapy is to help you to identify
psychological difficulties that may contribute to the
premature ejaculation and/or to solve problems in
your relationships that may have added to the cause
of premature ejaculation. This therapy can also
help couples to talk about problems with intimacy
that occurred after premature ejaculation began.
Psychological therapy can also help a man learn to be
less anxious about his sexual performance and have
greater sexual confidence. Typically, a man will receive
specific advice on how to enhance his and his partner’s
sexual satisfaction.
Behavioral therapies
Behavioral therapy can play a key part in the usual
treatment of premature ejaculation. Certain sexual
maneuvers can be effective; however, they may not
always provide a lasting solution to the problem. Also,
they rely heavily on the cooperation of the partner,
which in some cases, may be a problem.
With the squeeze method, an exercise developed by
Masters and Johnson, the partner stimulates the man’s
penis until he is close to ejaculation. At the point when
he is about to ejaculate, the partner squeezes the penis
hard enough to make him partially lose his erection.
The goal of this technique is to teach the man to
become aware of the sensations leading up to orgasm,
the management of
premature ejaculation

and then begin to control and delay his orgasm on his
own.
With the stop-start method, the partner stimulates
the man’s penis until just before ejaculation. The
partner should then stop all stimulation until the urge
to ejaculate subsides. As the man regains control, he
instructs the partner to begin stimulating his penis
again. This procedure is repeated three times before
allowing the man to ejaculate on the fourth time. The
couple repeats this exercise three times a week, until
the man has gained good control.
Medical therapies
Although not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for this purpose, pills used for
depression and anesthetic creams have been shown to
delay ejaculation in men with premature ejaculation.
Medications are a relatively new form of treatment for
premature ejaculation. Doctors first noticed that men
and women who were taking drugs for the treatment
of depression (antidepressants) also had delayed
orgasms. Doctors then began to use these drugs “off-
label” (this implies using a medication for a different
illness than what it was originally manufactured for) to
treat premature ejaculation. These medications include
antidepressants that affect serotonin such as fluoxetine
(Prozac®, Sarafem®), paroxetine (Paxil®), sertraline
(Zoloft®), and clomipramine (Anafranil®).
If one medication fails to work, a second one is usually
recommended. If the second one fails, trying a third
medication is not likely to be beneficial. An alternative
is to combine medication with behavioral therapy and/
or creams.
For use in premature ejaculation, the doses of
antidepressants are usually lower than those
recommended for the treatment of depression.
Though side effects are not inevitable, when they do
occur, the most common side effects of antidepressants
include nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness, erectile
dysfunction and reduced desire for sexual activity.
These drugs can be taken either every day or
only taken before sexual activity. Your doctor will
decide how you should take the medication based
on the frequency of intercourse and the effect that
they produce for you. The best time for taking the
antidepressant medications before sexual activity
has not been established, but most doctors will
recommend from two to six hours depending on the
medication. Because premature ejaculation can recur
when the medication is not taken, you most likely will
need to take it on a continuing basis.
Local anesthetic creams can be used to treat
premature ejaculation. These creams are applied to
the head of the penis about 20 to 30 minutes before
intercourse to lessen the sensitivity. Prior to sexual
intercourse, a condom (if used) may be removed and
the penis washed clean of any remaining cream. A
loss of erection can occur if the anesthetic cream
is left on the penis for a longer period of time than
recommended. Also, the anesthetic cream should not
be left on the exposed penis during vaginal intercourse
since it may cause vaginal numbness.

Glossary
anesthetic creams: Creams that contain a small
amount of a numbing chemical, most often lidocaine
and/or prilocaine.
anxiety: a feeling of apprehension, often characterized
by feelings of stress.
antidepressants: medications used to treat
depression and other related conditions.
counseling: the providing of advice and guidance to a
patient by a health professional.
depression: a disorder characterized by feelings of
extreme sadness, guilt, helplessness and hopelessness,
and thoughts of death.
diagnosis: the process by which a doctor determines
what disease a patient has by studying the patient’s
symptoms and medical history, and analyzing any tests
performed (blood tests, urine tests, brain scans, etc.)
ejaculate: the fluid that is expelled from a man’s
penis during sexual climax (orgasm).
ejaculation: when sperm and other fluids come from
the penis during sexual climax (orgasm).
emission: the delivery of sperm and seminal vesicle
secretions into the urethra through the prostate.
erectile dysfunction: the inability to develop or
sustain an erection satisfactory for sexual intercourse.
erection: a state in which the penis fills with blood
and becomes rigid.
12
foreplay: fondling of the sex partner to produce
mutual sexual arousal and pleasure prior to intercourse.
orgasm: a state of physical and emotional excitement
that occurs at the climax of sexual intercourse. In the
male, it is accompanied by the ejaculation of semen.
masturbation: self-stimulation of genitals or other
parts of the body causing sexual excitement, usually to
orgasm.
premature ejaculation: ejaculation that occurs
sooner than a man wishes, usually before or soon after
penetration.
prostate gland: the prostate gland is a walnut-sized
structure that is located below the urinary bladder in
front of the rectum. The prostate gland contributes
additional fluid to the ejaculate.
seminal vesicles: the sac-like pouches that attach to
the vas deferens near the base of the urinary bladder.
The seminal vesicles produce a sugar-rich fluid called
fructose that provides sperm with a source of energy
that helps sperm move. The fluid of the seminal vesicles
makes up most of the volume of a man’s ejaculatory
fluid, or ejaculate.
semen: the fluid containing sperm (the male
reproductive cells) that is expelled (ejaculated) through
the end of the penis when the man reaches sexual
climax (orgasm).
serotonin: a small molecule (also known as
neurotransmitter) that helps the brain cells
communicate with each other.

13
sex therapy: counseling for sexual disorders.
side effects: an action or effect of a drug other than
that desired. Commonly it is an undesirable effect such
as nausea, headache, insomnia, acute toxic reaction, or
drug interaction.

Pe management of premature ejaculation

  • 2. How does ejaculation occur? Ejaculation, controlled by the central nervous system, happens when friction on the genitalia and other forms of sexual stimulation provide impulses that are sent up the spinal cord and into the brain. Ejaculation has two phases: Phase I: Emission The vas deferens (the tubes that store and transport sperm from the testes) contract to squeeze the sperm toward the base of the penis through the prostate gland and into the urethra. The seminal vesicles release secretions that combine with the sperm to make semen. The ejaculation is unstoppable at this stage. Phase II: Ejaculation The muscles at the base of the penis and urethra contract, forcing semen out of the penis (ejaculation and orgasm) while the bladder neck contracts. Orgasm can occur without the delivery of semen (ejaculation) from the penis; this causes a “dry” orgasm. Normally, erections decline following ejaculation. What is premature ejaculation? Premature ejaculation is ejaculation that occurs earlier than desired, causing distress to either one or both partners. It is one of the most common male sexual disorders, affecting about 20-30% of men of all ages. Premature ejaculation is a frustrating problem that can reduce the enjoyment of sex, harm relationships
  • 3. and impair quality of life. The occurrence of premature ejaculation is not in itself harmful or a sign of other health problems. If premature ejaculation is not a problem for a man and his partner, treatment is not needed. However, when the problem occurs frequently and/or causes distress to the man or his partner, treatment is available and is often helpful. Can premature ejaculation develop later in life? Premature ejaculation can occur at any age. Surprisingly, aging appears not to be a cause of premature ejaculation. However, the aging process typically causes changes in erectile function and ejaculation. Erections may not be as firm or as large. Erections may be maintained for a shorter period before ejaculating. The feeling that an ejaculation is about to happen may be shorter. These factors can result in an older man having an ejaculation earlier than when he was younger. Can both premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction affect a man at the same time? Sometimes premature ejaculation may be a problem in men who have erectile dysfunction; erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. In fact, premature ejaculation may be caused by erectile the management of premature ejaculation
  • 4. dysfunction especially in a man who needs continual penile stimulation to maintain his erection. Some men do not understand that the loss of erection normally occurs after ejaculation. They may wrongly complain to their doctors that they have erectile dysfunction when the actual problem is premature ejaculation. It is recommended that the erectile dysfunction be treated first if you experience both ED and premature ejaculation, since the premature ejaculation may resolve on its own once the ED has been adequately treated. What causes premature ejaculation? Although the exact cause of premature ejaculation is not known, new studies suggest that serotonin, a natural substance produced by nerves, is important. A breakdown of the actions of serotonin in the brain may be a cause. Studies have found that high amounts of serotonin in the brain slow the time to ejaculation while low amounts of serotonin can produce a condition like premature ejaculation.
  • 5. the management of premature ejaculation Myths surrounding premature ejaculation Myth: Premature ejaculation is a problem that is entirely in one’s mind. Fact: New studies have shown that a low level of serotonin, a natural substance that is produced by nerves, may be a possible cause. Myth: Alcohol is a good method for controlling premature ejaculation. Fact: Although alcohol can delay orgasm, it is not an effective treatment for premature ejaculation. When should a doctor be seen? When premature ejaculation happens so frequently that it interferes with your sexual pleasure, it becomes a medical problem requiring the care of a doctor. To understand the problem, the doctor will need to ask questions about your sexual history such as the following: • How often does the premature ejaculation occur? • How long have you had this problem? • Is the problem specific to one partner? Or does it happen with every partner? • Does premature ejaculation occur with all or just some attempts at sexual relations? • How much stimulation results in premature ejaculation? • What type of sexual activity (i.e., foreplay,
  • 6. masturbation, intercourse, use of visual clues, etc.) is engaged in and how often? • How has premature ejaculation affected sexual activity? • What is the quality of your personal relationships? • How does premature ejaculation affect your quality of life? • Are there any factors that make premature ejaculation worse or better (i.e. drugs, alcohol, etc.)? Usually, laboratory testing is not necessary unless the history and a physical examination reveal something more complicated. How to talk to your partner about premature ejaculation? Premature ejaculation affects not only you but also your partner and your sexual relationship. In an episode of premature ejaculation, the intimacy shared with a partner suddenly comes to a quick end. You might feel angry, ashamed, and frustrated, and turn away from your partner. At the same time, your partner may be upset with the rapid emotional change, or the outcome of the sexual encounter. Communication is not only important to successful diagnosis and treatment, but can also help a partner understand the feelings of the individual. Sometimes couple counseling or sex therapy may be useful. Together a couple might develop techniques (for example, the squeeze technique discussed in
  • 7. the management of premature ejaculation behavioral therapy section) that may prolong an erection. Most importantly, the couple should try to relax. Anxiety (especially performance anxiety) only makes this condition worse. What treatments are available? There are several treatment choices for premature ejaculation: psychological therapy, behavioral therapy, and medications. Be sure to discuss these treatments with your doctor and together decide which of the following options is best for you: • Psychological therapy addresses feelings a man may have about sexuality and sexual relationships. • Behavioral therapy makes use of exercises to help a man develop tolerance to stimulation and, as a result, delay ejaculation. • Medical therapy includes oral medications that can cause a delay in the time it takes from the beginning of sexual stimulation until ejaculation occurs. These oral medications are the same medications that are commonly used to treat depression. But in men with premature ejaculation, they are used to improve the problem of premature ejaculation, not to treat depression. In addition, topical anesthetic creams may be used to increase the time it takes from the beginning of sexual stimulation until ejaculation occurs.
  • 8. Psychological therapies Psychological therapy can be used as the only treatment or can be used together with medical therapy or behavioral therapy. The focus of psychological therapy is to help you to identify psychological difficulties that may contribute to the premature ejaculation and/or to solve problems in your relationships that may have added to the cause of premature ejaculation. This therapy can also help couples to talk about problems with intimacy that occurred after premature ejaculation began. Psychological therapy can also help a man learn to be less anxious about his sexual performance and have greater sexual confidence. Typically, a man will receive specific advice on how to enhance his and his partner’s sexual satisfaction. Behavioral therapies Behavioral therapy can play a key part in the usual treatment of premature ejaculation. Certain sexual maneuvers can be effective; however, they may not always provide a lasting solution to the problem. Also, they rely heavily on the cooperation of the partner, which in some cases, may be a problem. With the squeeze method, an exercise developed by Masters and Johnson, the partner stimulates the man’s penis until he is close to ejaculation. At the point when he is about to ejaculate, the partner squeezes the penis hard enough to make him partially lose his erection. The goal of this technique is to teach the man to become aware of the sensations leading up to orgasm,
  • 9. the management of premature ejaculation and then begin to control and delay his orgasm on his own. With the stop-start method, the partner stimulates the man’s penis until just before ejaculation. The partner should then stop all stimulation until the urge to ejaculate subsides. As the man regains control, he instructs the partner to begin stimulating his penis again. This procedure is repeated three times before allowing the man to ejaculate on the fourth time. The couple repeats this exercise three times a week, until the man has gained good control. Medical therapies Although not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this purpose, pills used for depression and anesthetic creams have been shown to delay ejaculation in men with premature ejaculation. Medications are a relatively new form of treatment for premature ejaculation. Doctors first noticed that men and women who were taking drugs for the treatment of depression (antidepressants) also had delayed orgasms. Doctors then began to use these drugs “off- label” (this implies using a medication for a different illness than what it was originally manufactured for) to treat premature ejaculation. These medications include antidepressants that affect serotonin such as fluoxetine (Prozac®, Sarafem®), paroxetine (Paxil®), sertraline (Zoloft®), and clomipramine (Anafranil®). If one medication fails to work, a second one is usually recommended. If the second one fails, trying a third medication is not likely to be beneficial. An alternative
  • 10. is to combine medication with behavioral therapy and/ or creams. For use in premature ejaculation, the doses of antidepressants are usually lower than those recommended for the treatment of depression. Though side effects are not inevitable, when they do occur, the most common side effects of antidepressants include nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness, erectile dysfunction and reduced desire for sexual activity. These drugs can be taken either every day or only taken before sexual activity. Your doctor will decide how you should take the medication based on the frequency of intercourse and the effect that they produce for you. The best time for taking the antidepressant medications before sexual activity has not been established, but most doctors will recommend from two to six hours depending on the medication. Because premature ejaculation can recur when the medication is not taken, you most likely will need to take it on a continuing basis. Local anesthetic creams can be used to treat premature ejaculation. These creams are applied to the head of the penis about 20 to 30 minutes before intercourse to lessen the sensitivity. Prior to sexual intercourse, a condom (if used) may be removed and the penis washed clean of any remaining cream. A loss of erection can occur if the anesthetic cream is left on the penis for a longer period of time than recommended. Also, the anesthetic cream should not be left on the exposed penis during vaginal intercourse since it may cause vaginal numbness.
