What Causes Of Premature Ejaculation?

There are many possible causes of premature ejaculation, both psychological and environmental. Knowing what causes premature ejaculation in your particular case can greatly increase your chances of overcoming it.

Psychological Factors

Psychological factors such as stress, fear, or guilt can cause premature ejaculation. Examples of psychological factors include guilt that the sexual activity is wrong or sinful, fear of getting caught, or stress from problems at work or home or anxiety due to previous episodes of premature ejaculation. Performance anxiety can also cause premature ejaculation.

Impotence You may be at increased risk of premature ejaculation if you occasionally or consistently experience impotence. Fear of losing your erection may cause you to rush through sexual encounters. Health problems If you have a medical concern that causes you to feel anxious during sex, such as a heart problem, you may have an increased likelihood of hurrying to ejaculate.

Stress

Emotional or mental strain in any area of your life can cause or exacerbate premature ejaculation, often limiting your ability to relax and focus during sexual encounters.

Certain medications

Rarely, drugs that influence the action of chemical messengers in the brain (psychotropics) may cause premature ejaculation.

Genes

A study conducted in the Netherlands linked premature ejaculation to a gene for serotonin regulation in a group of two hundred men. A more recent study from Finland independently show a genetic link to premature ejaculation in a much larger group, and rule out environmental factors. So your genes can cause premature ejaculation.
