Opóźniona ejakulacja
Leczenie

Opóźniona ejakulacja (DE) to zaburzenie seksualne charakteryzujące się znacznym opóźnieniem lub niemożnością osiągnięcia wytrysku pomimo odpowiedniej stymulacji i pożądania, dotykające około 4% aktywnych seksualnie mężczyzn. Etiologia DE jest wieloczynnikowa, obejmując podłoże psychologiczne (stres, lęk, depresja, problemy relacyjne) oraz organiczne (cukrzyca typu 1, urazy rdzenia kręgowego, neuropatie nerwu sromowego, zaburzenia hormonalne, starzenie się). Leki, zwłaszcza SSRI, beta-blokery i leki przeciwpsychotyczne, również mogą indukować DE. Diagnostyka opiera się na szczegółowym wywiadzie seksualnym, w tym analizie technik masturbacji, które często różnią się od stymulacji podczas stosunku, co może utrudniać ejakulację. Model Seksualnego Punktu Zwrotnego (STP) podkreśla rolę niewystarczającej stymulacji (tarcie i fantazje) w patogenezie DE.

Definicja i diagnostyka opóźnionej ejakulacji

Opóźniona ejakulacja (ang. Delayed Ejaculation, DE) to zaburzenie seksualne charakteryzujące się znacznym opóźnieniem lub niemożnością osiągnięcia wytrysku i orgazmu pomimo odpowiedniej stymulacji seksualnej i pożądania. Według Międzynarodowej Klasyfikacji Chorób (ICD-11), opóźniona ejakulacja definiowana jest jako niezdolność do osiągnięcia wytrysku lub nadmierne czy zwiększone opóźnienie ejakulacji, mimo odpowiedniej stymulacji seksualnej i chęci ejakulacji1. Zaburzenie to może być klasyfikowane jako pierwotne (występujące od początku aktywności seksualnej) lub nabyte (pojawiające się po okresie normalnego funkcjonowania seksualnego)23.

Opóźniona ejakulacja dotyka około 4% aktywnych seksualnie mężczyzn, w porównaniu do 20-30% dla przedwczesnego wytrysku4. Jest to stosunkowo rzadkie, ale bardzo uciążliwe zaburzenie, które może powodować znaczny stres i wpływać negatywnie na jakość życia seksualnego oraz relacje partnerskie5.

Diagnoza opóźnionej ejakulacji wymaga dokładnego wywiadu medycznego i seksualnego oraz ukierunkowanego badania fizykalnego6. Kluczowym narzędziem diagnostycznym jest szczegółowy wywiad seksualny, który powinien uwzględniać analizę technik masturbacyjnych7. Należy zwrócić uwagę na różnice między doświadczeniami seksualnymi w parze a samodzielną stymulacją, co może dostarczyć istotnych wskazówek diagnostycznych8.

Przyczyny opóźnionej ejakulacji

Opóźniona ejakulacja może mieć zarówno podłoże psychologiczne, jak i organiczne9. Zrozumienie przyczyn jest kluczowe dla skutecznego leczenia.

Przyczyny psychologiczne

Czynniki psychologiczne często leżące u podłoża opóźnionej ejakulacji obejmują:

  • Stres i lęk związany z wydajnością seksualną10
  • Depresja i inne zaburzenia psychiczne11
  • Problemy w relacji partnerskiej12
  • Silna potrzeba kontrolowania doświadczeń seksualnych13
  • Trudność w „oddaniu się” przyjemności seksualnej14
  • Wcześniejsze negatywne doświadczenia seksualne15

Przyczyny organiczne

Fizyczne przyczyny opóźnionej ejakulacji obejmują:

  • Choroby przewlekłe, takie jak cukrzyca (szczególnie typu 1)1617
  • Urazy rdzenia kręgowego1819
  • Stwardnienie rozsiane2021
  • Zabiegi chirurgiczne w obrębie pęcherza moczowego lub gruczołu krokowego2223
  • Neuropatia nerwu sromowego, często spowodowana urazem krocza, np. podczas jazdy na rowerze z wąskim siodełkiem24
  • Zaburzenia hormonalne, w tym niski poziom testosteronu lub hiperprolaktynemia25
  • Proces starzenia się2627

Przyczyny polekowe

Wiele leków może powodować opóźnioną ejakulację, w tym:

Idiosynkratyczne techniki masturbacji

Istotnym czynnikiem w rozwoju opóźnionej ejakulacji są często specyficzne techniki masturbacji. Wielu mężczyzn z DE stosuje idiosynkratyczny styl masturbacji, definiowany jako technika masturbacji trudna do odtworzenia przez ręce, usta lub pochwę partnera35. Ta rozbieżność między stymulacją podczas masturbacji a stymulacją podczas stosunku partnerskiego może prowadzić do trudności z osiągnięciem orgazmu36.

Podejścia terapeutyczne w leczeniu opóźnionej ejakulacji

Leczenie opóźnionej ejakulacji powinno być dostosowane do przyczyny zaburzenia37. Skuteczne leczenie często wymaga podejścia wielomodalnego, łączącego różne metody terapeutyczne38.

Terapia psychoseksualna

Terapia psychoseksualna jest jednym z głównych podejść w leczeniu opóźnionej ejakulacji, szczególnie gdy przyczyny mają podłoże psychologiczne39. Terapia ta wykorzystuje kombinację psychoterapii i strukturalnych zmian w życiu seksualnym40.

Kluczowe elementy terapii psychoseksualnej obejmują:

  • Edukację seksualną w celu rozwiania nieporozumień dotyczących seksualności i zmniejszenia poczucia nieadekwatności lub nieodpowiedniego poczucia winy41
  • Techniki poznawczo-behawioralne do zmniejszenia lęku, w tym kierowaną wyobraźnię i koncentrację na doznaniach42
  • Identyfikację zachowań zwiększających immersję w podnieceniu i minimalizujących hamujące myśli4344
  • Pracę nad relacją partnerską i poprawą komunikacji, gdy problemy w związku przyczyniają się do zaburzenia45

Terapia najczęściej obejmuje serię „zadań domowych”. W prywatności własnego domu pacjent i jego partner angażują się w aktywności seksualne, które zmniejszają presję związaną z wydajnością i koncentrują się na przyjemności4647.

Techniki behawioralne

Tradycyjna behawioralna terapia seksualna opóźnionej ejakulacji obejmuje następujące elementy48:

  • Pacjent zaczyna od masturbacji, a następnie rozpoczyna stosunek, gdy jest prawie gotowy do ejakulacji
  • Procedura jest kontynuowana, przy czym mężczyzna rozpoczyna stosunek coraz wcześniej
  • Czasowe zaprzestanie masturbacji lub zmiana jej stylu (np. zmiana ręki) w celu przerwania utrwalonych nawyków49
  • Zachęcanie mężczyzny do fantazjowania o doświadczeniu seksualnym z partnerem podczas masturbacji50
  • Zmiana stylu masturbacji w celu przybliżenia stymulacji, jakiej prawdopodobnie doświadczy z partnerem51

Model Punktu Zwrotnego (STP)

Model Seksualnego Punktu Zwrotnego (Sexual Tipping Point, STP) jest zintegrowanym podejściem do etiologii, diagnozy i leczenia mężczyzn z opóźnioną ejakulacją5253. Model ten podkreśla, że DE jest wynikiem niewystarczającej stymulacji: nieadekwatnej kombinacji tarcia i fantazji54.

Kluczowe elementy terapii według modelu STP obejmują:

  • Tymczasowe powstrzymanie się od ejakulacji podczas masturbacji55
  • Jeśli pacjent nie chce całkowicie zrezygnować z masturbacji, negocjacja zmniejszenia częstotliwości ejakulacji podczas masturbacji, z minimalnym zobowiązaniem do braku orgazmu w ciągu 72 godzin przed następnym doświadczeniem z partnerem56
  • Nauka ruchów ciała i fantazji, które przybliżają myśli i doznania doświadczane podczas masturbacji57

Model STP podkreśla znaczenie biopsychospołeczno-kulturowej perspektywy w połączeniu ze szczególną uwagą na narrację pacjenta58. Leczenie jest skoncentrowane na pacjencie, holistyczne i integruje różne terapie według potrzeb59.

Terapia z udziałem partnera

Leczenie często jest bardziej skuteczne, gdy pary pracują razem jako zespół60. Zaleca się, aby w miarę możliwości angażować partnera w leczenie i sesje doradcze61. Wspólna terapia może pomóc w rozwiązaniu problemów, które oboje mogą mieć w związku z opóźnioną ejakulacją62.

Terapia par koncentruje się na poprawie komunikacji i zrozumienia między partnerami oraz rozwijaniu strategii zwiększających intymność6364.

Leczenie farmakologiczne opóźnionej ejakulacji

Obecnie nie ma leków zatwierdzonych przez Amerykańską Agencję ds. Żywności i Leków (FDA) do leczenia opóźnionej ejakulacji6566. Jednak niektórzy lekarze przepisują leki poza wskazaniami (off-label) z pewnym powodzeniem67.

Najczęściej stosowane leki

Istnieje szereg leków stosowanych w leczeniu pacjentów z opóźnioną ejakulacją, w tym6869:

  • Testosteron – stosowany w przypadkach niedoboru testosteronu7071
  • Kabergolina (Dostinex) – agonista dopaminy7273
  • Bupropion – antydepresant7475
  • Amantadyna – lek stosowany w chorobie Parkinsona76
  • Cyproheptadyna (Periactin) – lek przeciwalergiczny77
  • Midodryna – agonista alfa-1-adrenergiczny78
  • Imipramina – trójpierścieniowy lek przeciwdepresyjny79
  • Efedryna i pseudoefedryna – sympatykomimetyki8081
  • Johimbina – antagonista receptorów alfa-2-adrenergicznych8283
  • Buspiron – lek przeciwlękowy84
  • Oksytocyna – hormon85
  • Betanechol – agonista receptorów muskarynowych86

W przypadku mężczyzn z osłabioną twardością penisa, mogą oni reagować na doustne leki na impotencję, takie jak sildenafil (Viagra) lub tadalafil (Cialis), aby zwiększyć przekrwienie prącia i wrażliwość87.

Leczenie farmakologiczne w szczególnych przypadkach

W przypadku opóźnionej ejakulacji wywołanej lekami, szczególnie selektywnymi inhibitorami wychwytu zwrotnego serotoniny (SSRI), można rozważyć następujące strategie88:

  • Zmiana na bupropion, mirtazapinę, nefazodon lub wilazodon, które mają mniej działań niepożądanych związanych z funkcjami seksualnymi niż SSRI89
  • Rozważenie terapii uzupełniającej, np. sympatykomimetykami alfa (takimi jak efedryna lub kombinacja maleinianu chlorfeniraminy i chlorowodorku fenylpropanolaminy)90
  • Stosowanie sildenafilu lub imipraminy, które wydają się być skuteczne w zaburzeniach orgazmu wywołanych lekami psychotropowymi91

W przypadku opóźnionej ejakulacji wynikającej z operacji w łańcuchu nerwów współczulnych, badania wykazały, że podawanie leków adrenalinopochodnych może ułatwić ejakulację92.

Skuteczność leczenia farmakologicznego

Chociaż istnieje wiele opcji leczenia farmakologicznego, dowody są nadal ograniczone do małych badań klinicznych, serii przypadków lub raportów przypadków9394. Skuteczne leczenie farmakologiczne opóźnionej ejakulacji jest wciąż w początkowej fazie rozwoju9596.

W niedawnym badaniu oceniającym obecną opinię i kliniczne postępowanie w przypadku DE przez członków Towarzystwa Medycyny Seksualnej Ameryki Północnej (SMSNA), kabergolina i bupropion były najczęściej wybieranymi lekami pierwszego rzutu w leczeniu DE9798.

Inne metody leczenia

Stymulacja wibracyjna

W przypadku mężczyzn z uszkodzeniami nerwów, czasami reagują oni na medyczne wibratory umieszczone na czubku penisa, aby ponownie nauczyć nerwy szybszego przewodzenia bodźców99. Stymulacja wibracyjna prącia (penile vibratory stimulation, PVS) może być przydatna dla niektórych mężczyzn z opóźnioną ejakulacją100.

Ćwiczenia mięśni dna miednicy

Ćwiczenia Kegla pomagają wzmocnić mięśnie dna miednicy. Wzmocnienie mięśni dna miednicy może zapewnić większą kontrolę nad momentem ejakulacji101.

Terapia podciśnieniowa

Terapia podciśnieniowa prącia (vacuum erection device, VED) i techniki trakcji prącia mogą przynieść pewne korzyści w leczeniu102103.

Terapia falami uderzeniowymi

Terapia falami uderzeniowymi (shockwave therapy) jest nowatorską metodą leczenia opóźnionej ejakulacji, koncentrującą się na poprawie erekcji i wrażliwości prącia104105.

Terapia iniekcyjna

W niektórych klinikach oferowana jest terapia iniekcyjna jako jedna z opcji leczenia opóźnionej ejakulacji106107.

Kompleksowe podejście do leczenia

Najskuteczniejsze leczenie opóźnionej ejakulacji często wymaga podejścia wielodyscyplinarnego, angażującego urologów, lekarzy podstawowej opieki zdrowotnej i specjalistów w dziedzinie zdrowia psychicznego, aby odpowiednio zająć się czynnikami biopsychospołecznymi108.

Zintegrowane podejście terapeutyczne

Terapia zintegrowana łączy różne podejścia w leczeniu opóźnionej ejakulacji109:

  • Edukacja seksualna
  • Terapia poznawczo-behawioralna
  • Mindfulness (uważność)
  • Psychodynamiczna eksploracja leżących u podstaw konfliktów
  • Terapia par

W ogromnej większości przypadków najskuteczniejszym podejściem terapeutycznym do zaburzeń ejakulacji jest połączenie terapii biologicznej i psychologicznej110.

Indywidualizacja leczenia

Wybór opcji leczenia powinien być dostosowany do czynnika etiologicznego, charakterystyki choroby (DE lub anejaculacji), preferencji pacjenta i komfortu lekarza wobec różnych metod111.

Klinicyści muszą być świadomi patogenezy DE i farmakologicznych podstaw stosowania różnych leków, aby zapewnić lepszą opiekę pacjentom112113.

Wskazania do leczenia

Leczenie jest ważne, ponieważ opóźniona ejakulacja może powodować114115:

  • Zmniejszenie przyjemności seksualnej dla pacjenta i jego partnera
  • Stres lub lęk związany z wydajnością seksualną
  • Problemy małżeńskie lub związkowe wynikające z niesatysfakcjonującego życia seksualnego
  • Niemożność zapłodnienia partnerki (niepłodność męska)

Skuteczność leczenia i rokowania

Sukces terapii psychoseksualnych w leczeniu opóźnionej ejakulacji powinien być traktowany jako eksploracyjny116. Niemniej jednak, terapia seksualna może zapewnić dobre wyniki.

Wskaźniki powodzenia dla leczenia przekraczają 75%. Około 20% mężczyzn doświadcza ejakulacji dopochwowej w ciągu mniej niż 6 tygodni stosowania opisanych technik117.

Leczenie zwykle wymaga około 12-18 sesji. Średni wskaźnik powodzenia wynosi 70-80%118119120.

Należy jednak pamiętać, że dokładne wskaźniki powodzenia są trudne do określenia na podstawie istniejącej literatury ze względu na zmienność metod terapii i brak badań na dużą skalę121.

Czynniki wpływające na skuteczność leczenia

Skuteczność leczenia opóźnionej ejakulacji zależy od przyczyny i rodzaju leczenia122. Każda osoba będzie miała różne potrzeby i wyniki123.

Jeśli przyczyną opóźnionej ejakulacji są leki, zmniejszenie dawki lub zmiana leku może rozwiązać problem124125. W takich przypadkach możliwa jest pełna poprawa126127.

W przypadku opóźnionej ejakulacji o podłożu psychogennym, terapia seksualna tradycyjnie ma znacznie wyższy wskaźnik powodzenia niż leczenie przyczyn niepsychogennych128.

Rekomendacje dla pacjentów

Ważne jest, aby pacjenci z opóźnioną ejakulacją129130:

  • Skonsultowali się z lekarzem tak szybko, jak tylko pojawią się problemy z ejakulacją
  • W przypadku trudności z ejakulacją z partnerem, rozmowa z terapeutą może pomóc
  • Mieli zdrowe podejście do swojej seksualności i narządów płciowych, co pomaga zapobiegać opóźnionej ejakulacji
  • Zmniejszyli presję, koncentrując się na przyjemności chwili

Podsumowanie i perspektywy

Opóźniona ejakulacja jest trudnym do leczenia zaburzeniem, które wymaga kompleksowego podejścia diagnostycznego i terapeutycznego131. Leczenie powinno być ukierunkowane na przyczynę i może obejmować terapię psychoseksualną pacjenta i jego partnera, farmakoterapię lub leczenie zintegrowane132133.

Chociaż obecnie nie ma leków zatwierdzonych przez FDA do leczenia opóźnionej ejakulacji, dostępnych jest wiele opcji farmakologicznych, których skuteczność nadal wymaga potwierdzenia w dużych badaniach klinicznych134135.

Istotnym aspektem pozostaje odpowiednia komunikacja między partnerami oraz zaangażowanie zarówno pacjenta, jak i specjalistów w proces leczenia136. Sukces w dużej mierze zależy od zaangażowania mężczyzny z opóźnioną ejakulacją oraz zespołu specjalistów potrzebnych do pomocy (urolog, psycholog, fizjoterapeuta)137.

Nie ulega wątpliwości, że leczenie farmakologiczne dla mężczyzn z ciężką postacią DE byłoby korzystne (niezależnie od stopnia komplikacji psychospołeczno-behawioralnych i kulturowych), chociaż pacjenci odnieśliby jeszcze większe korzyści z leczenia medycznego wzbogaconego o poradnictwo138.

Skuteczne leczenie farmakologiczne opóźnionej ejakulacji jest nadal w fazie początkowej139. Klinicyści muszą być świadomi patogenezy DE i farmakologicznych podstaw stosowania różnych leków, aby zapewnić lepszą opiekę pacjentom. Różne leki są dostępne do rozwiązania tego problemu, jednak dowody ich skuteczności są nadal ograniczone, a ich wybór musi być zindywidualizowany dla każdego konkretnego przypadku140.

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41443-023-00692-7
    The International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-11 defines DE as an inability to achieve ejaculation or an excessive or increased latency of ejaculation, despite adequate sexual stimulation and the desire to ejaculate. […] Treatment plans are often multidisciplinary, involving urologists, primary care providers and mental health professionals to adequately address biopsychosocial factors. […] Testosterone replacement is indicated for men with testosterone deficiency in accordance with available guidelines. […] Psychosocial evaluation with a sex therapist is recommended for all patients. […] Exact rates of success are difficult to determine based on existing literature due to variability of therapy methods and lack of large-scale studies. […] Though there are no drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at this time due to the absence of conclusive data, several pharmacological therapies show promise in treatment of DO including cabergoline, bupropion, oxytocin, and recently amphetamine/dextroamphetamine (AdderallTM). […] The existing literature provides insufficient evidence to recommend the use of these drugs in treatment of DO at this time.

    Delayed ejaculation is when ejaculation is retarded beyond a reasonable period after sexual stimulation. This happens from time to time with many men as a normal occurrence but can be problematic if it occurs over a long period or frustrates either sex partner. […] Delayed ejaculation can be a permanent problem present from the beginning of sexual activity. Or it can be an acquired problem occurring after a history of normal ejaculation. It may be general or situational, in which it may occur only with certain partners or situations. […] Treatment for delayed ejaculation includes psychotherapy to deal with underlying mental health and psychological issues. Some mental health counselors are specially trained to deal with sexual issues. Counseling can involve just the male or he and his partner. […] A few medications are also used to treat delayed ejaculation. These are not specifically approved for treatment of delayed ejaculation but are approved for treatment of other conditions. This is referred to as off-label use.

    Ejaculatory disorders are probably the most common men’s health issues following erectile dysfunction. They fall primarily into two categories: premature ejaculation and delayed ejaculation. […] At this point you may be thinking, what is the problem, wouldn’t a man be lucky to have delayed ejaculation? The truth of the matter is, it is a legitimate issue and many men who struggle with this condition often feel ashamed and embarrassed. It can also result in significant mental and emotional stress to both partners in a relationship. […] Delayed ejaculation, also known as impaired ejaculation, is a condition in which a man has persistent difficulty or inability to achieve an orgasm and ejaculate, despite having sexual desire and stimulation. Delayed ejaculation affects approximately 4% of sexually active men, as compared to 20-30% for premature ejaculation.
  • #5 The drug treatment of delayed ejaculation
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5001980/
    Delayed ejaculation (DE) is an uncommon and a challenging disorder to treat. It is often quite concerning to patients and it can affect psychosocial well-being. Here we reviewed how DE is treated pharmacologically. […] There are a number of drugs to treat patients with DE including: testosterone, cabergoline, bupropion, amantadine, cyproheptadine, midodrine, imipramine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, yohimbine, buspirone, oxytocin, and bethanechol. […] Although there are many pharmacological treatment options, the evidence is still limited to small trials, case series or case reports. […] It is concluded that successful drug treatment of DE is still in its infancy. The clinicians need to be aware of the pathogenesis of DE and the pharmacological basis underlying the use of different drugs to extend better care for these patients. Various drugs are available to address such problem, however their evidence of efficacy is still limited and their choice needs to be individualized to each specific case.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5001992/
    The Sexual Tipping Point (STP) model is an integrated approach to the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of men with delayed ejaculation (DE), including all subtypes manifesting ejaculatory delay or absence. […] Regardless of the degree of organic etiology present, DE is exacerbated by insufficient stimulation: an inadequate combination of friction and fantasy. […] Assessment requires a thorough sexual history including inquiry into masturbatory methods. […] The clinicians most valuable diagnostic tool is a focused sex history (sex status). […] Identify important DE causes by juxtaposing an awareness of his cognitions and the sexual stimulation experienced during masturbation, versus a partnered experience. […] Assist the man in identifying behaviors that enhance immersion in excitation and minimize inhibiting thoughts, in order to reach ejaculation in his preferred manner.
  • #8 Delayed Ejaculation: Informed Diagnosis and Treatment | Psychology Today
    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sexual-tipping-point/201812/delayed-ejaculation-informed-diagnosis-and-treatment
    Men with DE find it difficult or impossible to ejaculate and/or experience orgasm. DE is a failure to ejaculate during masturbation and/or partner manual, oral, coital, or anal stimulation. […] Many physicians, for better and sometimes for worse, will begin treatment by first prescribing pharmaceuticals, lubricants, and devices (e.g. vibrators). Unfortunately, there are no FDA approved treatment for DE and the drugs that doctors typically use have only anecdotal (here and there reports) of success. […] The most important tool available to any healthcare professional for diagnosing any sexual disorder is a sex status exam. […] The difference between what a man experiences in coupled sex, versus self-stimulation, must be explored. […] Sex therapists have reported good success rates using cognitive-behavioral techniques.
  • #9 Delayed ejaculation: MedlinePlus Medical EncyclopediaLock
    https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001954.htm
    Delayed ejaculation is a medical condition in which a male cannot ejaculate easily or at all. […] Delayed ejaculation can have psychological or physical causes. […] If you have never ejaculated through any form of stimulation, see your health care provider to determine if the problem has a physical cause. […] See a therapist who specializes in ejaculation problems if you are unable to ejaculate in an acceptable amount of time. […] Therapy often involves a series of „homework” assignments. […] In cases where there is a problem with the relationship or a lack of sexual desire, you may need therapy to improve your relationship and emotional intimacy. […] Sometimes, hypnosis may be a helpful addition to therapy. […] Treatment commonly requires about 12 to 18 sessions. […] If medicines are causing the problem, your provider may recommend switching or stopping the medicine, if possible. […] Having a healthy attitude about your sexuality and genitals helps prevent delayed ejaculation. […] To reduce the pressure, focus on the pleasure of the moment.

    Delayed ejaculation (male orgasmic disorder) is classed as either: […] You may have delayed ejaculation if you’re unable to ejaculate more than half the times you have sex. […] Like premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation can be caused by psychological and physical factors. […] Possible psychological causes of delayed ejaculation are similar to those of premature ejaculation for example, relationship problems, stress or depression. […] Physical causes of delayed ejaculation include: diabetes, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, surgery to the bladder or prostate gland, increasing age.

    There is scarce literature on the psychological aspects relating to DE, as well as on empirical evidence regarding psychological treatment efficacy. Studies on psychological aspects have revealed that men with DE show a strong need to control their sexual experiences. Delayed ejaculation is associated with difficulties surrendering to sexual pleasure during sex – i.e., the sense of letting go – which denotes an underlying psychological mechanism influencing the reaching of orgasm.

    Treatment of any underlying cause can in many cases resolve the delayed ejaculation. Any potential medications that can contribute to delayed ejaculation should be stopped or changed. There are certain medications which are supposedly able to help with delayed ejaculation, but they can be unreliable and have little effect, if any. As such, the mainstays of treatment are psychotherapy and sex counselling. […] Psychotherapy involves analysing past and current factors that can directly result in delayed ejaculation, including previous unpleasant sexual experiences, underlying psychological issues, performance anxiety, etc. […] Sex counselling is done either alone or with both partners, and involves sex education and goal-oriented tasks and exercises intended to help a man achieve orgasms earlier during sexual intercourse.

    In many cases, the man himself may tend to delay treatment or to minimize the distress of the situation. […] In spite of the lack of information regarding delayed ejaculation, the most successful approach, for sex therapists, is to engage both members of the couple into addressing the problem. […] Ejaculation problems may also contribute to a low libido and lack of interest in sexual activity. […] For some men, there may be additional psychological issues that underlie an ejaculatory dysfunction. […] Traditional behavioral sex therapy for delayed ejaculation is as follows: the man begins by masturbating, then starts intercourse when he is almost ready to ejaculate; the procedure continues with the man beginning intercourse earlier and earlier. […] Delayed ejaculation carries with it issues of inability to achieve orgasm and infertility. […] A common cause is pudendal neuropathy, caused by a crush to the perineum such as from bike riding with a narrow saddle. […] If the delayed ejaculation is situational is is probably psychologic; if it is generalized the problem is probably biologic.

[…] The opposite of premature or rapid ejaculation is delayed ejaculation. This can be as, if not more, frustrating than its opposite. Delayed ejaculation is the inability of a man to achieve climax within a reasonable amount of time. […] Treatment for delayed ejaculation depends on its cause. For men with nerve injuries, sometimes they respond to medical vibrators placed at the tip of the penis to retrain the nerves to fire more rapidly. […] For men with hormone imbalances, the doctor needs to run some laboratory tests, specifically testosterone and prolactin levels to see if there’s an imbalance.

    The Sexual Tipping Point (STP) model is an integrated approach to the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of men with delayed ejaculation (DE), including all subtypes manifesting ejaculatory delay or absence. Assessment requires a thorough sexual history including inquiry into masturbatory methods. Many men with DE engage in an idiosyncratic masturbatory style, defined as a masturbation technique not easily duplicated by the partner’s hand, mouth, or vagina. Coaching tips are offered on how to ensure adherence to this suspension, manage resistance and facilitate success. Drug treatment would benefit men particularly with severe DE, regardless of concomitant psychosocial-behavioral and cultural complications. This approach emphasizes the utility of a biopsychosocial-cultural perspective combined with special attention to the patient’s narrative. Treatment is patient-centered, holistic and integrates a variety of therapies as needed.
