Opóźniona ejakulacja
Objawy
Opóźniona ejakulacja (DE) to zaburzenie charakteryzujące się znacznym wydłużeniem czasu do osiągnięcia orgazmu i ejakulacji, często powyżej 30 minut ciągłej stymulacji, lub całkowitym brakiem ejakulacji (anejakulacja) pomimo prawidłowej erekcji i stymulacji. Zgodnie z DSM-5, DE diagnozuje się przy występowaniu objawów w 75-100% aktywności seksualnej przez minimum 6 miesięcy, powodujących istotny dyskomfort psychiczny. Wyróżnia się typy pierwotne i nabyte, uogólnione i sytuacyjne, a także różne stopnie nasilenia od łagodnego do całkowitej anejakulacji. Etiologia jest wieloczynnikowa, obejmująca przyczyny neurologiczne (np. neuropatia cukrzycowa, urazy rdzenia), hormonalne (niedobór testosteronu, niedoczynność tarczycy), farmakologiczne (szczególnie SSRI, leki przeciwpsychotyczne, beta-blokery) oraz psychologiczne (depresja, lęk, stres, problemy w relacjach). Wiek i specyficzne nawyki masturbacyjne również odgrywają rolę w patogenezie. DE może manifestować się różnicami w zdolności do ejakulacji podczas masturbacji versus stosunku, co wskazuje na podłoże psychogenne.
Definicja i charakterystyka opóźnionej ejakulacji
Opóźniona ejakulacja (DE – delayed ejaculation) to schorzenie, w którym mężczyźnie zajmuje znacznie dłuższy czas na osiągnięcie orgazmu i wytrysku nasienia podczas aktywności seksualnej, pomimo prawidłowej stymulacji i erekcji. W niektórych przypadkach ejaculacja może nie występować wcale (anejakulacja). 12 Schorzenie to może mieć charakter krótkotrwały lub występować przez całe życie, powodując znaczny stres i frustrację zarówno u pacjenta, jak i jego partnera/partnerki.3
Nie istnieje ściśle określony przedział czasowy, który jednoznacznie definiowałby opóźnioną ejakulację. Mężczyźni z tym zaburzeniem mogą potrzebować 30 minut lub więcej ciągłej stymulacji seksualnej, aby osiągnąć orgazm i ejakulację. U niektórych pacjentów wytrysk nie następuje w ogóle, co określa się mianem anejakulacji.45
Według Podręcznika Diagnostycznego i Statystycznego Zaburzeń Psychicznych, wydanie 5 (DSM-5), opóźniona ejakulacja jest definiowana jako znaczne opóźnienie, rzadkie występowanie lub brak ejakulacji w 75-100% przypadków aktywności seksualnej z partnerem, występujące przez co najmniej 6 miesięcy i powodujące znaczny dyskomfort psychiczny.67 Co istotne, opóźnienie to musi powodować dyskomfort i nie może być wynikiem świadomej decyzji o opóźnianiu wytrysku.8
Rodzaje opóźnionej ejakulacji
Opóźniona ejakulacja dzieli się na kilka typów w zależności od czasu wystąpienia i okoliczności:910
- Pierwotna (lifelong) vs. nabyta (acquired):
- Pierwotna opóźniona ejakulacja – problem występuje od momentu osiągnięcia dojrzałości seksualnej
- Nabyta opóźniona ejakulacja – problem pojawia się po okresie prawidłowego funkcjonowania seksualnego
- Uogólniona (generalized) vs. sytuacyjna (situational):
- Uogólniona opóźniona ejakulacja – nie jest ograniczona do określonych partnerów seksualnych lub rodzajów pobudzenia
- Sytuacyjna opóźniona ejakulacja – występuje tylko w określonych warunkach, np. podczas stosunku, ale nie podczas masturbacji lub odwrotnie
Opóźniona ejakulacja może również różnić się stopniem nasilenia, od łagodnej (mężczyźni, którzy nadal doświadczają orgazmu podczas stosunku, ale tylko w określonych warunkach), przez umiarkowaną (nie mogą ejakulować podczas stosunku, ale mogą podczas masturbacji lub stymulacji manualnej), po ciężką (mogą ejakulować tylko w samotności) i najcięższą (nie mogą ejakulować wcale).1314
Objawy opóźnionej ejakulacji
Głównym objawem opóźnionej ejakulacji jest znaczne wydłużenie czasu potrzebnego do osiągnięcia orgazmu i ejakulacji podczas aktywności seksualnej, mimo odpowiedniej stymulacji i prawidłowej erekcji.15 Objawy mogą obejmować:
- Potrzebę 30 minut lub więcej nieprzerwanej stymulacji seksualnej, aby osiągnąć wytrysk16
- Całkowitą niemożność osiągnięcia ejakulacji (anejakulacja)17
- Możliwość osiągnięcia orgazmu tylko podczas masturbacji, ale nie podczas stosunku z partnerem18
- Konieczność przerywania stosunku z powodu zmęczenia, podrażnienia fizycznego, utraty erekcji lub na prośbę partnera19
- Obniżoną intensywność doznań podczas orgazmu20
- Uczucie, że jest się na krawędzi orgazmu, ale niemożność osiągnięcia punktu kulminacyjnego21
Opóźniona ejakulacja może występować w różnych kontekstach. Niektórzy mężczyźni doświadczają tego problemu we wszystkich sytuacjach seksualnych, podczas gdy inni tylko w określonych okolicznościach, np. tylko podczas stosunku pochwowego, ale nie podczas innych form aktywności seksualnej.22 Jest to istotna wskazówka diagnostyczna, ponieważ gdy mężczyzna może bez problemu osiągnąć orgazm podczas masturbacji, ale nie podczas stosunku z partnerem, sugeruje to psychologiczne podłoże problemu.23
Progresja opóźnionej ejakulacji
Opóźniona ejakulacja może mieć różny przebieg w zależności od jej przyczyny i indywidualnych czynników. W przypadku opóźnionej ejakulacji związanej z wiekiem, stan ten ma tendencję do stopniowego pogarszania się wraz z upływem czasu.24 Badania pokazują, że częstość występowania zaburzeń ejakulacji wzrasta z 3% u mężczyzn w wieku 50-54 lat do 35% u mężczyzn w wieku 70-78 lat.25
W przypadku opóźnionej ejakulacji związanej z neuropatią autonomiczną (np. w cukrzycy), dysfunkcja ejakulacji może wykazywać powolny, postępujący spadek od opóźnionej ejakulacji do anejakulacji, w zależności od stopnia uszkodzenia nerwów współczulnych.26
W niektórych przypadkach, opóźniona ejakulacja może być jednym z pierwszych sygnałów postępującego schorzenia zdrowotnego, takiego jak choroba serca lub cukrzyca, dlatego ważna jest wczesna diagnostyka.2728
Wpływ na jakość życia i relacje
Opóźniona ejakulacja może mieć znaczący wpływ na jakość życia i relacje międzyludzkie. Problem ten często prowadzi do:2930
- Zmniejszonej satysfakcji seksualnej zarówno dla mężczyzny, jak i jego partnera/ki31
- Stresu i lęku związanego z aktywnością seksualną32
- Problemów w związku wynikających z niesatysfakcjonującego życia seksualnego33
- Obniżonej samooceny i poczucia własnej wartości34
- Unikania intymności z obawy przed niepowodzeniem35
- Depresji i lęku36
- Problemów z płodnością, gdy ejakulacja jest niezbędna do zapłodnienia37
Psychologiczne konsekwencje opóźnionej ejakulacji mogą tworzyć błędne koło, w którym niepokój związany z wydajnością seksualną prowadzi do jeszcze większych trudności z osiągnięciem orgazmu. Problemy z ejakulacją mogą również prowadzić do niskiego libido i braku zainteresowania aktywnością seksualną.38
Badania wykazały, że opóźniona ejakulacja wiąże się ze znacznym obniżeniem jakości życia związanej ze zdrowiem, obniżoną samooceną, zwiększonym poziomem lęku i depresji, a także zmniejszoną satysfakcją seksualną i niezadowoleniem w związku.39
Obraz kliniczny opóźnionej ejakulacji
Obraz kliniczny opóźnionej ejakulacji może się różnić w zależności od nasilenia, czasu trwania i okoliczności występowania zaburzenia. Mężczyźni z opóźnioną ejakulacją zgłaszają znacznie dłuższy szacowany średni i minimalny czas latencji ejakulacji podczas stosunku płciowego w porównaniu z mężczyznami bez tego zaburzenia.40
W badaniach klinicznych zaobserwowano, że mężczyźni z opóźnioną ejakulacją raportują:4142
- Znacząco niższy odsetek epizodów seksualnych kończących się orgazmem w porównaniu z mężczyznami bez opóźnionej ejakulacji
- Mniejszą przyjemność/satysfakcję z orgazmu podczas stosunku z partnerem
- Większy dyskomfort i stres związany z aktywnością seksualną z partnerem
Wielu mężczyzn z opóźnioną ejakulacją (około 85%) jest w stanie osiągnąć orgazm poprzez masturbację, co sugeruje, że problem ma często podłoże behawioralne lub psychologiczne.43 Niektórzy mężczyźni z tym schorzeniem potrzebują specyficznej, idiosynkratycznej formy autostymulacji, aby osiągnąć orgazm, takiej jak pocieranie penisa o pościel lub masturbacja z naciskiem na konkretny punkt podczas oglądania materiałów erotycznych.44
Opóźniona ejakulacja może również wykazywać związek z innymi zaburzeniami, takimi jak depresja, lęk czy problemy z erekcją. W zaawansowanych przypadkach, gdy lęk staje się uogólniony, mogą pojawić się zachowania, w których mężczyzna unika stosunków seksualnych ze swoim partnerem lub zbliżenia do osób, które mogą wykazywać zainteresowanie seksualne.45
Różnice między typami opóźnionej ejakulacji
Różne typy opóźnionej ejakulacji charakteryzują się odmiennym obrazem klinicznym:4647
- Pierwotna opóźniona ejakulacja – występuje od początku aktywności seksualnej i może wynikać z podstawowych problemów neurologicznych lub być związana z wrodzonymi cechami mężczyzny
- Nabyta opóźniona ejakulacja – pojawia się po okresie normalnego funkcjonowania seksualnego i może być spowodowana stresem, problemami w związku lub czynnikami organicznymi
- Uogólniona opóźniona ejakulacja – problem występuje we wszystkich sytuacjach seksualnych, niezależnie od partnera czy rodzaju stymulacji, co sugeruje silniejszy komponent fizjologiczny
- Sytuacyjna opóźniona ejakulacja – gdy problem występuje tylko w określonych okolicznościach (np. podczas stosunku, ale nie podczas masturbacji), zwykle ma podłoże psychologiczne
Według DSM-5, opóźniona ejakulacja związana jest z bardzo częstą masturbacją, stosowaniem technik masturbacji, których partner nie jest w stanie łatwo odtworzyć, oraz wyraźnymi różnicami między fantazjami seksualnymi podczas masturbacji a rzeczywistością seksu z partnerem.48
Cechy charakterystyczne mężczyzn z opóźnioną ejakulacją
Badania wykazują pewne cechy charakterystyczne dla mężczyzn z opóźnioną ejakulacją:4950
- Mogą mieć zmniejszoną zdolność odczuwania wrażeń penisowych, co objawia się mniejszym pobudzeniem seksualnym niż u mężczyzn bez tego zaburzenia
- Często stosują idiosynkratyczny styl masturbacji, który znacznie różni się od fizycznej stymulacji podczas penetracji pochwowej
- Mogą doświadczać trudności ze zdolnością do fantazjowania i pobudzenia seksualnego w obecności partnera
- Częściej mają wyższy poziom lęku związanego z wydajnością seksualną
- Mogą mieć trudności z koncentracją na doznaniach fizycznych podczas stosunku seksualnego
Opóźniona ejakulacja częściej występuje u starszych mężczyzn, co może wynikać z utraty receptorów penisowych i aksonów czuciowych (nerwów reagujących na bodźce seksualne), które zmniejszają wrażliwość.51 Badania pokazują, że czynniki związane z wiekiem, takie jak obniżenie poziomu testosteronu i zmniejszenie wrażliwości narządów płciowych, przyczyniają się do wydłużenia czasu ejakulacji.52
Czynniki wpływające na rozwój opóźnionej ejakulacji
Opóźniona ejakulacja jest często wynikiem połączenia czynników fizycznych i psychologicznych. Rozpoznanie przyczyny jest kluczowe dla skutecznego leczenia.53
Czynniki fizyczne
Do fizycznych przyczyn opóźnionej ejakulacji należą:545556
- Schorzenia neurologiczne:
- Cukrzyca i neuropatia cukrzycowa
- Urazy rdzenia kręgowego
- Stwardnienie rozsiane
- Udar mózgu
- Neuropatia splotów miednicznych (np. po urazie krocza, jak przy jeździe na wąskim siodełku rowerowym)
- Interwencje chirurgiczne:
- Operacje pęcherza moczowego
- Operacje prostaty (w tym prostatektomia)
- Zabiegi na układzie moczowo-płciowym
- Zaburzenia hormonalne:
- Niski poziom testosteronu
- Niedoczynność tarczycy
- Zaburzenia przysadki mózgowej
- Starzenie się – proces starzenia wiąże się ze zmniejszoną wrażliwością penisa i zmianami hormonalnymi
- Wrodzone wady rozwojowe układu moczowo-płciowego
- Ejakulacja wsteczna – stan, w którym nasienie cofa się do pęcherza moczowego zamiast wydostawać się przez penis
Czynniki farmakologiczne
Liczne leki mogą powodować opóźnioną ejakulację jako efekt uboczny:575859
- Leki przeciwdepresyjne:
- Leki przeciwpsychotyczne
- Leki na nadciśnienie:
- Beta-blokery
- Diuretyki
- Blokery alfa-1
- Leki przeciwdrgawkowe
- Inhibitory 5-alfa reduktazy (stosowane w leczeniu przerostu prostaty)
- Silne leki przeciwbólowe (opiaty)
- Leki zwiotczające mięśnie
Szczególnie dobrze udokumentowany jest wpływ leków przeciwdepresyjnych z grupy SSRI na opóźnienie ejakulacji. Efekt ten jest na tyle istotny, że czasami wykorzystuje się go w leczeniu przedwczesnego wytrysku.60
Czynniki psychologiczne
Psychologiczne przyczyny opóźnionej ejakulacji obejmują:616263
- Zaburzenia psychiczne:
- Depresja
- Zaburzenia lękowe
- Stres
- Problemy w relacjach:
- Konflikty w związku
- Brak komunikacji
- Utrata pociągu do partnera
- Brak intymności emocjonalnej
- Lęk przed wydajnością seksualną
- Negatywny obraz własnego ciała
- Przeszłe traumatyczne doświadczenia seksualne
- Tabu kulturowe lub religijne dotyczące seksualności
- Strach przed zapłodnieniem lub poczęciem dziecka
- Różnice między fantazjami seksualnymi a rzeczywistością
Czynniki behawioralne i stylu życia
Styl życia i zachowania seksualne mogą przyczyniać się do opóźnionej ejakulacji:646566
- Nadużywanie substancji:
- Nadmierne spożycie alkoholu
- Używanie narkotyków rekreacyjnych
- Specyficzne nawyki masturbacyjne:
- Bardzo częsta masturbacja
- Intensywne i nietypowe techniki masturbacji, trudne do odtworzenia podczas stosunku
- Nadmierna ekspozycja na pornografię – może prowadzić do desensytyzacji i wymagania zwiększonej stymulacji
- Niewystarczający sen
- Brak aktywności fizycznej
- Niezdrowe nawyki żywieniowe
Istnieje coraz więcej dowodów sugerujących, że nadmierna ekspozycja na pornografię może zmniejszyć pożądanie seksualne, osłabić pobudzenie i prowadzić do dysfunkcji seksualnych poprzez proces desensytyzacji i nadmiernej ekspozycji na bodźce. Prowadzi to do rozwoju tolerancji na bodźce seksualne, wymagając zwiększonej stymulacji do osiągnięcia pobudzenia, czego rzeczywisty partner może nie być w stanie zapewnić.67
Epidemiologia opóźnionej ejakulacji nie jest dokładnie poznana ze względu na brak jednolitej definicji i różnice w metodologii badań. Ogólnie panuje zgoda, że częstość występowania jest niska i waha się od 1% (pierwotna opóźniona ejakulacja) do 4% (nabyta opóźniona ejakulacja) u aktywnych seksualnie mężczyzn.68 Jednak ostatnie badania populacyjne i obserwacje przekrojowe sugerują, że podobnie jak zaburzenia erekcji i przedwczesny wytrysk, opóźniona ejakulacja i inne dysfunkcje ejakulacji są powszechnymi formami męskiej dysfunkcji seksualnej.69
Zgodnie z DSM-5, 75% mężczyzn zgłasza zawsze osiąganie orgazmu podczas stosunku. Opóźniona ejakulacja jest najmniej powszechną skargą seksualną u mężczyzn, choć niektóre źródła sugerują, że częstość występowania może być wyższa niż zgłaszana.70 Może to wynikać z postrzegania opóźnienia orgazmu jako pożądanej cechy i oznaki dojrzałości seksualnej oraz samokontroli, co prowadzi do niedostatecznego zgłaszania problemu.71
Następstwa i powikłania opóźnionej ejakulacji
Opóźniona ejakulacja może prowadzić do szeregu powikłań i negatywnych konsekwencji, które znacząco wpływają na jakość życia pacjenta i jego partnera.7273
Konsekwencje psychospołeczne
Długotrwałe problemy z opóźnioną ejakulacją mogą prowadzić do:747576
- Obniżonej samooceny i pewności siebie – trudności z osiągnięciem orgazmu mogą podważać poczucie męskości i sprawności seksualnej
- Lęku i depresji – frustracja seksualna może przyczyniać się do rozwoju lub nasilenia problemów ze zdrowiem psychicznym
- Unikania bliskości i intymności – z obawy przed kolejnym niepowodzeniem seksualnym
- Zmniejszonego zainteresowania aktywnością seksualną (obniżenie libido)
- Poczucia winy i wstydu związanego z niemożnością zaspokojenia partnera
Wpływ na związek
Opóźniona ejakulacja może poważnie wpłynąć na relacje intymne:777879
- Napięcia i konflikty w związku – wynikające z frustracji seksualnej i niespełnionych oczekiwań
- Nieporozumienia między partnerami – partner może interpretować trudności z ejakulacją jako brak atrakcyjności lub utratę zainteresowania
- Zmniejszona satysfakcja seksualna obu partnerów – przedłużający się stosunek może prowadzić do zmęczenia, dyskomfortu lub utraty lubrykacji u partnera
- Stres w relacji – ciągła presja na osiągnięcie orgazmu może stać się centralnym punktem aktywności seksualnej
Podczas gdy dla niektórych par zwiększona wytrzymałość seksualna może być początkowo postrzegana jako zaleta, staje się problematyczna, gdy aktywność seksualna zamienia się w ćwiczenie frustracji zamiast przyjemnego doświadczenia.80
Problemy z płodnością
Jednym z najbardziej znaczących powikłań opóźnionej ejakulacji, szczególnie w przypadku anejakulacji, są problemy z płodnością:818283
- Niemożność zapłodnienia partnerki (niepłodność męska) – szczególnie istotna, gdy para stara się o dziecko
- Konieczność stosowania technik wspomaganego rozrodu – w przypadkach całkowitej anejakulacji może być konieczne pobranie nasienia bezpośrednio z jąder do sztucznego zapłodnienia
- Stres związany z planowaniem rodziny – trudności z ejakulacją mogą komplikować naturalne próby poczęcia
Jeśli opóźniona ejakulacja wpływa na zdolność posiadania biologicznego dziecka, lekarz może zasugerować procedury pozyskiwania plemników z jąder, które można wykorzystać do inseminacji.84
Komplikacje zdrowotne
W rzadkich przypadkach, opóźniona ejakulacja może wskazywać na lub prowadzić do innych problemów zdrowotnych:8586
- Może być wczesnym sygnałem pogarszającej się choroby – takiej jak cukrzyca, choroba serca czy schorzenia neurologiczne
- Tymczasowy problem z ejakulacją może prowadzić do lęku i depresji, co może powodować nawroty, nawet gdy podstawowa przyczyna fizyczna została rozwiązana
- Przewlekły dyskomfort fizyczny – wynikający z przedłużonej aktywności seksualnej bez rozładowania
Warto zauważyć, że opóźniona ejakulacja zazwyczaj nie powoduje bezpośrednich fizycznych uszkodzeń narządów płciowych, chociaż przedłużona aktywność seksualna może prowadzić do dyskomfortu, podrażnienia lub utraty erekcji.87
Podsumowanie objawów i progresji
Opóźniona ejakulacja jest złożonym zaburzeniem seksualnym charakteryzującym się znacznym opóźnieniem w osiąganiu orgazmu i ejakulacji, pomimo odpowiedniej stymulacji seksualnej. Objawy mogą się różnić w zależności od pacjenta i mogą obejmować całkowitą niemożność ejakulacji (anejakulację), zdolność do ejakulacji tylko w określonych warunkach lub znaczne wydłużenie czasu potrzebnego do osiągnięcia orgazmu.8889
Opóźniona ejakulacja może mieć różną progresję. W przypadku opóźnionej ejakulacji związanej z wiekiem, problem zwykle pogarsza się wraz z upływem czasu. W przypadku opóźnionej ejakulacji spowodowanej lekami, objawy mogą ustąpić po odstawieniu lub zmianie leku. Przy podłożu psychologicznym, progresja zależy od skuteczności leczenia i zdolności pacjenta do przezwyciężenia leżących u podstaw problemów psychologicznych.9091
Nieleczona opóźniona ejakulacja może prowadzić do poważnych konsekwencji, w tym problemów związkowych, obniżonej samooceny, lęku, depresji i problemów z płodnością. Dlatego ważne jest, aby mężczyźni z tym zaburzeniem szukali profesjonalnej pomocy, gdy tylko zauważą niezdolność do ejakulacji, szczególnie jeśli jest to frustrujące lub niepokojące dla nich lub ich partnera.9293
Opóźniona ejakulacja jest stanem, który można skutecznie leczyć, ale ponieważ jest to złożony problem, trudno przewidzieć, jak długo może trwać leczenie i jak skuteczne ono będzie. Współpraca z partnerem i otwarta komunikacja są kluczowe dla skutecznego zarządzania tym stanem.9495

Delayed ejaculation is a condition in which it takes a long period of sexual arousal to reach climax and release semen from the penis, called ejaculate. Some people with delayed ejaculation can’t ejaculate at all. […] Delayed ejaculation can be a brief or lifelong problem. Possible causes of delayed ejaculation include certain ongoing health conditions, surgeries and medicines. Treatment for delayed ejaculation depends on the cause. […] There’s no set time that means a diagnosis of delayed ejaculation. Some people with delayed ejaculation need many minutes of sexual stimulation to have an orgasm and ejaculate. Others might not be able to ejaculate at all, called anejaculation. […] In delayed ejaculation, the delay causes upset. Also delayed ejaculation might mean stopping sex due to tiredness, physical irritation, loss of erection or because the partner wants to stop.
- #2 Delayed ejaculation: MedlinePlus Medical EncyclopediaLockhttps://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001954.htm
Delayed ejaculation is a medical condition in which a male cannot ejaculate easily or at all. It may occur either during intercourse or by manual stimulation with or without a partner. Ejaculation is when semen is released from the penis. […] Most men can ejaculate within a few minutes of starting to thrust during intercourse. Men with delayed ejaculation may be unable to ejaculate or may only be able to ejaculate with great effort after having intercourse for a long time (for example, 30 to 45 minutes). […] 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. […] Treatment commonly requires about 12 to 18 sessions. The average success rate is 70% to 80%.

Delayed ejaculation is diagnosed if you take a long time to reach orgasm or do not reach orgasm at all, even though you want to and are trying, and you are upset or having relationship problems because of it. […] Delayed ejaculation can make you depressed or anxious and can have negative effects on your relationship with your partner. […] Delayed ejaculation can be successfully treated but, because its such a complex problem, its difficult to know how long it might take and exactly how successful your treatment will be.

- #6 Delayed Ejaculation DSM-5 302.74 (N53.11)https://www.theravive.com/therapedia/delayed-ejaculation-dsm–5-302.74-(n53.11)
According to the DSM-5, delayed ejaculation is defined by four symptoms with a choice of seven specifiers. 1. an inability to climax during sex with a partner about 75-100% of the time, with either a delay in ejaculation or infrequent or absent ejaculation. 2. The symptoms described above have persisted for at least six months, 3. the symptoms produce marked distress in the individual, and 4. The delayed ejaculation is not better accounted for by another mental disorder, use of a medication known for causing ejaculatory delay or failure, or due to stressors within or external to the relationship. […] The DSM-5 notes that normal age related changes in men include loss of genital sensitivity and decline of testosterone, which can be causal in delayed ejaculation. Most men, and their partners will find that increased sexual endurance is a desirable quality. It becomes problematic when it is personally distressing, and sexual activity becomes an exercise in frustration rather than an enjoyable process. For other men, it occurs in their youth, at the onset of sexual activity, or is acquired after a period of normal sexual function.
- #7 Characteristics of Men Who Report Delayed Ejaculation Symptoms – ISSMhttps://www.issm.info/sexual-health-headlines/characteristics-of-men-who-report-delayed-ejaculation-symptoms
Delayed ejaculation (DE) is a sexual health condition in which a man takes a long time to ejaculate or is unable to ejaculate, particularly during partnered sex. It can also refer to a significant increase in the time it takes a man to ejaculate during sex compared to his previous normal. Often, ejaculation latency time is discussed with regard to DE, which is the time it takes a person to ejaculate during penetrative sex. […] The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), defines DE as a marked delay, infrequency, or absence of ejaculation in ejaculation present in 75% or more of partnered sexual encounters and persistent over at least the last 6 months that causes clinically significant distress. […] Similarly, the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11), defines DE as the inability to achieve ejaculation or an excessive or increased latency of ejaculation, despite adequate sexual stimulation and the desire to ejaculate which has occurred episodically or persistently over at least several months, and is associated with clinically significant distress.

Often, there’s trouble reaching orgasm during sexual intercourse or other sexual activities with a partner. Some people can ejaculate only when masturbating. But others may not be able to ejaculate by masturbating. […] Delayed ejaculation is divided into the following types based on symptoms: Lifelong versus acquired. With lifelong delayed ejaculation, the problem is present from the time of sexual maturity. Acquired delayed ejaculation happens after a period of typical sexual functioning. Generalized versus situational. Generalized delayed ejaculation isn’t limited to certain sex partners or certain kinds of arousal. Situational delayed ejaculation happens only under certain conditions. […] Some medicines, certain ongoing health conditions and surgeries can cause delayed ejaculation. Other causes include substance misuse or a mental health concern, such as depression, anxiety or stress. Often, it’s due to a mix of physical and psychological concerns. […] Complications of delayed ejaculation can include: Less sexual pleasure for you and your partner. Stress or anxiety about having sex. Marital or relationship problems due to a poor sex life. Not being able to get your partner pregnant, called infertility.
