What causes Premature Ejaculation?

For decades, sex experts said that premature ejaculation is caused by early conditioning.

In other words, the man's first, rushed sexual experiences had to be quick so as to avoid detection. The idea is that this conditions him to climax as quickly as possible.

However, newer surveys have found that many men with PE did not have rushed early sexual experiences - though others say they did.

It's interesting to know that from an evolutionary point of view, it's probable that males who reached a quick climax were more likely to have children. In other words, if you were a caveman who came very fast, you'd stand more chance of impregnating your woman and enlarging your tribe.

Some men seem to be highly triggered right from their first sexual experiences and we have encountered instances where their fathers were much the same. Therefore, we feel that the tendency to come quickly may often be inherited rather than learned.

Finally, there's no question that anxiety or 'nerves' has a role in PE.
If you're nervous, you're likely to come too quickly.

This is why many males have discovered that a couple of drinks eases their nerves and makes them last longer.
But we wouldn't recommend alcohol as a cure for premature ejaculation.
