1. What Is Delayed Ejaculation?
This condition makes it hard to climax during sex, even with enough arousal. It may happen only with a partner but not alone.
Types include:
- Superficial: Caused by a lack of physical stimulation
- Deep: Linked to numbness or tension inside the body
- Provoked: Happens only in specific situations (e.g., during sex)
It’s more common than many people think—and there are ways to manage it.
Why It Happens
Emotional causes:
- Stress, anxiety, or shame
- Past trauma or guilt
- Lack of emotional connection
Physical causes:
- Low testosterone or hormone imbalance
- Nerve damage, surgery, or infection
- Medication side effects (especially antidepressants)
Often, both mental and physical factors play a role.
Real Examples and Triggers
Examples:
- Someone who only climaxes when alone, not with a partner
- A man recovering from an infection who struggles with arousal
- A person who tenses up due to past trauma
To identify your triggers:
- Keep a journal of your mood, stimulation type, and timing
- Notice when mental distractions or stress arise
- Try different positions, lubricants, or tools
Who It Affects
Though more common in men, delayed ejaculation can affect anyone.
Impact includes:
- Feeling embarrassed or “broken”
- Partners feeling confused or rejected
- Less intimacy and more frustration in relationships
Talking openly can help rebuild trust and connection.
