During sexual performance, the duration you can you hold your ejaculation will often decide the satisfaction level of your partner. Particularly in vaginal intercourse, if you ejaculate within 1 to 2 minutes then the pleasure will be very short for your partner.

However, if it prolongs for more than 30 minutes then too it can get boring and often your female partner may complain about vaginal pain after sex. Sex duration for 7 – 13 minutes will be considered as pleasurable and your partner will never complain.

Premature ejaculation is one of the very common problems that many men may suffer at any age. Though, there is no perfect set time that any man should ejaculate while doing sexual intercourse. Ejaculating too soon will result in losing your erection too and your partner will not enjoy sex as she had expected.

Often discussing in public about your normal ejaculation time can be embarrassing, but as per statistics available 30% to 40% men have suffered from this syndrome at some point of time in their sex life. So, you need not take it too seriously and start worrying about it as it can occasionally happen to almost everyone.

What are the reasons for premature ejaculation?

Actual cause of this problem is still not known fully, but the brain chemistry can be one reason. If any men have too low serotonin level in their brain, then they may hold their ejaculation for a short time. Few other emotional factors like following can also play a role:

  • Anxiety
  • Concern about your sexual performance
  • Depression
  • Guilt
  • Lack of confidence
  • Negative feelings towards sex
  • Poor body image
  • Relationship problems
  • Stress
  • Unusual hormone levels

Few other reasons are:

  • Genetic traits that you may inherit from parents
  • Inflammation/infection in the prostate/urethra
  • Irregular neurotransmitters levels

There can also be few other biological reasons why men cannot hold their ejaculation for a longer time like:

1. Your age

As you grow old, the important hormone called testosterone may tend to reduce and as a result, you may observe the following during sex act.

  • You may need much longer time or extra amount of stimulation to get sexually aroused.
  • You may also find that it is hard to achieve, and also maintain your erection for a longer time.
  • Even hormonal changes of your partner results in things like dryness of vagina and decreased libido.

2. Shape of genitals can also be another factor

Medical researchers have done a study in 2003 and found that the shape of your penis, particularly the ridge around its head must have evolved that is more competitive.

Your ridge can displace semen that is already preexisting in your partner’s vagina. With Deeper and vigorous thrusting, it may result in more amount of semen displacement.

This can allow the ejaculating partner making room for semen of their own and enhance their possibility of reproduction.

Keeping in view of the competitive evolution, this may explain why few people find it painful to maintain thrusting after ejaculation. By continuing to thrust can displace your semen and also decrease your possibility of reproduction.
