4 Myths About Premature Ejaculation
Although there has been a recent surge in coverage about male sexual health, there are still plenty of myths about what men can expect and how they should handle these problems. Perhaps one of the most common sexual problems that is surrounded by misconceptions and a general lack of understanding is premature ejaculation. Although it is a condition that affects millions of men
across the world, it’s still seen as such a taboo subject that many men continue to suffer in silence. Here we will address the top 5 most common – and most dangerous – myths about premature ejaculation.
Myth #1: Ejaculation is a natural reaction and there’s just nothing you can do about it.
This myth has persisted so long because it is based in truth. Ejaculation is, in fact, a completely normal and somewhat automatic physical reaction. But that isn’t the only thing that controls how quickly a man orgasms. Various psychological factors – including a man’s sexual history – and their diet and level of physical activity all play significant roles in a man’s ability to maintain erections and control his ejaculations. This myth has been persistent and is one of the biggest reasons why so many men don’t seek out the help they need.
Myth #2: Excessive masturbation leads to problems with ejaculation.
Masturbation has been blamed for everything from blindness to insanity. Over the course of history hundreds – if not thousands – of diseases have been blamed directly or indirectly on the masturbatory habits of the patient. In fact, masturbation is scientifically linked to exactly zero diseases or conditions and is actually linked to lowering the chance of prostate cancer, increased immunity and help with alleviating symptoms of depression. Masturbation is even used as one of the natural techniques men can use to help combat problem like premature ejaculation.
This is also a common misconception and one that adds stress to many men. Sexual problems including early ejaculation and trouble with maintaining an erection are common as men get older, but they are not the exclusive domain of octogenarians. In fact, more and more young, fit men are experiencing these problems due to higher stress levels in the younger generation. This has resulted in more men than ever struggling with various sexual performance issues and, yet, many men still think that if they’re under 60 and struggling with their performance it means they’re all alone.
Myth #4: A ‘Real Man’ fixes his own sexual dysfunction problems.
This myth was borne out of the equally dangerous myth that ‘Real Men’ don’t go to see the doctor. Some say this whole concept is the result of men wanting to appear simply impervious to disease. Quite frankly, it is one of the more ridiculous myths that continue to float around and one which, happily, seems to be starting to fade away. Today’s men realize that getting the healthcare you need is as important as maintaining your own health. While it’s true that many problems can be solved through various self-help measures, it’s vital that you seek out professional help when needed.
These 4 myths have done a lot of damage over the years. Men who hear and believe them often then turn around and present them as truth to friends. This perpetuates the problem and keeps men from seeking help to improve their sexual performance. Shattering these myths once and for all is the first step to helping men – and their partners – a better sex life.
