Q. Please let me know what treatments are available for premature ejaculation. For years, I have solved this problem by drinking alcohol. Now that I no longer drink alcohol, I would like to know if there are treatments available to prevent severe premature ejaculation. A. Premature ejaculation occurs when a man ejaculates before he wants to. Now we just say that premature ejaculation is when a man persistently ejaculates before he wants to.
Most men are able to exert some control over when they ejaculate.
Premature ejaculators, however, have not learned to do this, and whenever they reach a high degree of arousal, they ejaculate whether they want to or not. It is very sad that some men have suffered with this condition as long as they have and have tried to remedy it with alcohol and other ineffective means. This is particularly sad when it becomes known to the patient that treatments take only from six to 14 weeks to resolve the problem. There are several sexual therapy methods that are effective in helping a man with premature ejaculation. They all involve using a combination of sexual therapy exercises that the patient or the couple do at home.
