Premature Ejaculation
Premature Ejaculation describes the experience of reaching orgasm either before or shortly after the beginning of sexual contact with a partner.
Premature ejaculation can occur with vaginal or anal penetration, oral sex and, for some men, with manual stimulation by their partners.
Typically, premature ejaculation is considered to be an involuntary or uncontrolled experience of ejaculation, which may or may not be accompanied by orgasm (ejaculation can occur without experiencing heightened sexual arousal).
It can occur with either a soft or stronger erection.
While the causes of premature ejaculation vary, most men who experience it report high levels of stress, anxiety about their sexual performance or high conflict relationships with their partners.
For others, infrequent ejaculations or experiencing unusually long periods of time in between sexual activity is associated with premature ejaculation.

Time for Change
With treatment, you can develop a better understanding of why you might experience premature ejaculation. You can also develop strategies, both cognitive and behavioural, to develop the ability to better control when you experience ejaculation.
Change is possible.
It can be a difficult decision to seek treatment for sexual difficulties and it is important to seek treatment from an experienced, skilled and compassionate therapist. I welcome any questions you may have to support you to achieve better control.
