Treatment of premature ejaculation in old men

Premature ejaculation is one of the most common problems in men of all ages. This is a case of inability to control and postpone ejaculation in the first moments of sexual intercourse. Although there is no clear definition which period of time can be considered to be premature, many experts consider ejaculation that occurs in less than 120 seconds to be premature.

The truth is that it can happen at any age and it occurs in acute or chronic form. During their active sexual life, the vast majority of men experience this problem. Although this problem is more frequent in young men, there is a huge number of senior citizens who have to deal with this issue too. Now let’s see how we have a treatment for premature ejaculation.

Redirecting thoughts
This is one of the most interesting and most popular treatments used in cases of premature ejaculation. Many men practice this method unconsciously and it has proven to be very efficient in cases of increased state of excitement and in men who occasionally deal with this problem. It is crucial to recognize the moment before ejaculation happens. Once you identify this moment, try to think about something else, something that is boring and uninteresting or anything that is not related to sexual excitement. You can think about things that can actually turn you off. Of course, you should avoid thinking about this for a long period of time because you might lose erection.

Squeezing
This is a method that you can perform alone or with the help of your partner. The method is based on adding pressure on the top of the penis (glans penis). The pressure needs to be carried out for a period of 20 seconds right before the ejaculation kicks in. You should avoid stimulation for about half a minute. The short-term loss of erection is not unusual. This method can be performed as many times as you want.

Viagra
This drug used by many senior citizens is primarily used to achieve stronger erection. But, the fact is that it can help people in cases of premature ejaculation too. There are many men who claim that they can postpone their ejaculation and keep their erection once they ejaculate for the first time. Viagra can help you achieve second erection faster.

Learn more about your body
Knowing your own body is the key to success. With the help of masturbation you will learn more about your body and feelings. In this way you will also learn how to control ejaculation and gain the necessary self-confidence. Masturbation before the sexual intercourse begins will decrease the level of excitement and increase the level of self-control.

Extend the foreplay
Instead of focusing on your own body, focus on your partner during foreplay and take her to a level of high sexual arousal before you penetrate. In this way, your time to reach ejaculation will become closer to the time needed for your partner to reach an intense orgasm.

A Few Common Sexual Problems

Small or big problem can occur in all marital and non-marital relationships from time to time, but these problems are especially sensitive when they are related to sex. This is a short list of common sexual problems and how to solve them.

What causes sexual problems in women?
As we all know, certain physiological processes affect the sex life of every man, but women don’t have such problems. The most common cause for sexual dysfunction in women is based on the lack of desire, lack of arousal or painful sex. In addition, some women cannot achieve intense orgasm because of this pain.

Despite the poor relationship and stress which usually lead to sexual dysfunction in women, some women experience decrease in the level of estrogen especially during menopause. Furthermore, some diseases like depression or thyroid problems can also affect woman’s libido.

What type of medicines can result in sexual problems in men and women?
The best-known medicines that lead to these problems are tranquilizers or antidepressants. They can significantly lower the desire for sex in both women and men. In addition, women can experience low sex drive if they take certain contraceptive pills or medicines used for relieving menopause symptoms. Finally, high blood pressure medicines, antihistamines, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, drugs for cholesterol, Parkinson’s disease and few other drugs can also have negative effects.

What is the most common cause of sexual problems in women and men?
Sexual problems come in many forms, but in most cases they are defined as emotional or physical problems that prevent partners to achieve mutually satisfying intimate relationship. Some of the most common causes in men include diabetes, heart disease, prostate issues, damaged nerves in the spinal cord, lack of testosterone etc.

A common issue in women is lack of libido due to lack of estrogen or thyroid problems (which can also affect men) or painful intercourse due to vaginal dryness. There are also some couples that experience problems because they use substances that affect the sexual function. These substances include nicotine, alcohol, narcotic drugs, drugs for high blood pressure, antidepressants and antihistamines.

Frequent sexual problems in men
Numerous scientific surveys and studies have confirmed that the most common problem among men is premature ejaculation. About 75% of men who have sexual problems belong to this category. Premature ejaculation is defined as a type of ejaculation that occurs before or short after the sexual intercourse begins. Although almost each man can experience such thing from time to time, this problem has a chronic nature in some men. In such cases, the cause might be found in the sensitivity or light stimulation of the nervous system, lack of control over the body’s ability to respond to excitement or obsessive compulsive disorder. Chronic premature ejaculation can be treated with antidepressant medications which need to be taken 12 hours before the sexual intercourse.

There is another cause that is frequently overlooked – prostate gland infection also known as prostatitis. In cases like this, men are advised to follow antibiotic therapy. Things like medications and stress can also lead to temporary sexual problems.
