Przedwczesne wytryski
Etiologia i przyczyny

Przedwczesny wytrysk (PE) to najczęstsze zaburzenie seksualne u mężczyzn, dotykające 20-30% populacji, definiowane jako wytrysk występujący zwykle w ciągu minuty od rozpoczęcia penetracji (IELT <1 min). PE dzieli się na pierwotny (lifelong), wtórny (acquired), zmienny (variable) oraz subiektywny (subjective). Etiologia jest wieloczynnikowa, obejmująca czynniki psychologiczne (lęk, stres, depresja, niska samoocena, problemy relacyjne), biologiczne (zaburzenia neuroprzekaźników, zwłaszcza serotoniny, zaburzenia hormonalne takie jak hipertyreoza, nieprawidłowe poziomy testosteronu, prolaktyny i oksytocyny) oraz anatomiczne (przewlekłe zapalenie prostaty, zwiększona wrażliwość prącia, krótkie wędzidełko, żylaki powrózka nasiennego, zapalenie cewki moczowej). Występuje także współistnienie z innymi schorzeniami, takimi jak zaburzenia erekcji, cukrzyca, nadciśnienie tętnicze i zespół metaboliczny. Genetyczne predyspozycje, w tym polimorfizmy genetyczne i historia rodzinna, odgrywają istotną rolę zwłaszcza w PE pierwotnym.

Etiologia, przyczyny i patofizjologia przedwczesnych wytrysków

Przedwczesny wytrysk (PE) jest najczęstszym zaburzeniem seksualnym u mężczyzn, dotykającym około 20-30% populacji męskiej w różnych momentach życia. Jest definiowany jako wytrysk, który występuje wcześniej niż jest to pożądane, często w ciągu minuty od rozpoczęcia penetracji, powodując znaczny dystres zarówno u mężczyzny, jak i jego partnera/partnerki.12 Mimo że jest to powszechny problem, dokładna etiologia przedwczesnego wytrysku nie została w pełni poznana i obejmuje złożoną interakcję czynników psychologicznych, biologicznych i środowiskowych.3

Klasyfikacja przedwczesnych wytrysków

Przedwczesny wytrysk można sklasyfikować jako pierwotny (całożyciowy) lub wtórny (nabyty), co ma istotne znaczenie dla zrozumienia etiologii i opracowania odpowiedniego podejścia terapeutycznego.45

  • Pierwotny przedwczesny wytrysk (lifelong PE) – występuje od pierwszych doświadczeń seksualnych mężczyzny. Charakteryzuje się krótkim czasem od penetracji do wytrysku (IELT – intravaginal ejaculatory latency time), zwykle poniżej jednej minuty. Sugeruje to zaburzenie funkcjonalne, które może być związane z zaburzeniami w czasie erekcji, detumescencji i podniecenia.6 Ten typ PE może mieć podłoże genetyczne i wiąże się z występowaniem rodzinnym oraz możliwymi polimorfizmami genetycznymi.7
  • Wtórny przedwczesny wytrysk (acquired PE) – rozwija się w późniejszym okresie życia, po wcześniejszych prawidłowych doświadczeniach seksualnych. Przyczyną są często możliwe do zidentyfikowania czynniki medyczne, psychologiczne lub interpersonalne.8 Pacjenci z nabytym PE są zazwyczaj starsi, mają wyższy wskaźnik BMI i większą częstość chorób współistniejących, w tym nadciśnienia, zaburzeń pożądania seksualnego, cukrzycy, przewlekłego zapalenia prostaty i zaburzeń erekcji.9
  • Zmienny przedwczesny wytrysk (variable PE) – występuje nieregularnie i jest związany z konkretnymi sytuacjami, np. podczas stosunku z partnerem, a nie podczas masturbacji.10
  • Subiektywny przedwczesny wytrysk (subjective PE) – mężczyzna postrzega swój czas do wytrysku jako zbyt krótki, mimo że obiektywnie mieści się on w granicach normy.11

Czynniki psychologiczne w etiologii przedwczesnych wytrysków

Przez wiele lat uważano, że przedwczesny wytrysk ma wyłącznie podłoże psychologiczne. Obecnie wiemy, że czynniki psychologiczne odgrywają istotną, ale nie wyłączną rolę w etiologii tego zaburzenia.12

Lęk i stres jako kluczowe czynniki psychologiczne

Lęk, szczególnie lęk przed wykonaniem seksualnym (performance anxiety), jest powszechnie uważany za główny czynnik psychologiczny przyczyniający się do PE. Mężczyźni, którzy doświadczyli PE w przeszłości, mogą rozwinąć błędne koło lęku, które faktycznie zwiększa ryzyko przedwczesnego wytrysku.1314 Warto jednak zauważyć, że związek przyczynowy między lękiem a PE jest kwestionowany przez niektórych badaczy, którzy wskazują na brak empirycznych dowodów potwierdzających tę teorię.15

Stres ogólny, problemy zawodowe, finansowe czy relacyjne również mogą przyczyniać się do przedwczesnego wytrysku. Wysokie poziomy stresu mogą wpływać na funkcje seksualne i zmniejszać zdolność do kontrolowania wytrysku.1617

Inne czynniki psychologiczne

  • Wczesne doświadczenia seksualne – mogą kształtować wzorce reakcji seksualnych. Na przykład, jeśli pierwsze doświadczenia seksualne wymagały szybkiego zakończenia (np. z obawy przed przyłapaniem), wzorzec ten może utrwalić się w dorosłości.1819
  • Nadmierne podniecenie – szczególnie na początku nowego związku lub po długim okresie abstynencji seksualnej.20
  • Depresja – zaburzenia nastroju, w tym depresja, mogą wpływać na funkcje seksualne i przyczyniać się do PE.2122
  • Poczucie winy – związane z seksualnością, może prowadzić do pośpiechu podczas stosunku seksualnego.23
  • Niska samoocena i negatywny obraz ciała – mogą zwiększać lęk przed oceną i przyczyniać się do problemów z kontrolą wytrysku.24
  • Problemy w relacji – konflikty, brak intymności czy problemy komunikacyjne w związku mogą wpływać na funkcje seksualne.25
  • Nadmierne wymagania dotyczące wydajności seksualnej – presja na „bycie dobrym kochankiem” może zwiększać lęk i prowadzić do PE.26
  • Traumatyczne doświadczenia seksualne – w tym nadużycia seksualne, mogą wpływać na późniejsze funkcjonowanie seksualne.27

Warto zaznaczyć, że niektóre z tych czynników psychologicznych, takie jak stres czy depresja, mogą być zarówno przyczyną, jak i skutkiem przedwczesnego wytrysku, tworząc błędne koło, które trudno przerwać bez odpowiedniej terapii.28

Czynniki biologiczne w etiologii przedwczesnych wytrysków

Badania naukowe coraz częściej wskazują na istotną rolę czynników biologicznych w etiologii przedwczesnego wytrysku, szczególnie w przypadku PE pierwotnego (lifelong).29

Czynniki neurobiologiczne

Zaburzenia w układzie neuroprzekaźników, szczególnie serotoniny, odgrywają kluczową rolę w patofizjologii przedwczesnego wytrysku. Serotonina ma działanie hamujące na wytrysk, a niższe poziomy serotoniny lub zaburzenia w układzie serotoninergicznym mogą prowadzić do skrócenia czasu do wytrysku.3031

Wytrysk jest ostatecznie odruchem kontrolowanym przez układ nerwowy. U niektórych mężczyzn ten odruch może być nadwrażliwy, co oznacza, że jest wyzwalany zbyt wcześnie podczas stosunku. Odruch wytrysku jest wyzwalany przez sygnały z mózgu, które przechodzą przez rdzeń kręgowy do mięśni miednicy. W przypadkach PE ta droga odruchu jest często hiperaktywna, co oznacza, że sygnał do wytrysku jest wysyłany szybciej niż powinien.32

Jądro paragigantocellularis w mózgu zostało zidentyfikowane jako zaangażowane w kontrolę wytrysku.33

Czynniki hormonalne

Zaburzenia hormonalne mogą przyczyniać się do wystąpienia przedwczesnego wytrysku:34

  • Zaburzenia czynności tarczycynadczynność tarczycy (hipertyreoza) jest związana z przedwczesnym wytryskiem, podczas gdy niedoczynność (hipotyreoza) częściej prowadzi do opóźnionego wytrysku.3536
  • Zaburzenia poziomu testosteronu – niektórzy mężczyźni z przedwczesnym wytryskiem mają podwyższone poziomy testosteronu, podczas gdy niskie poziomy prolaktyny również były łączone z tym schorzeniem.3738
  • Zaburzenia poziomu oksytocyny – nieprawidłowe poziomy tego hormonu mogą wpływać na reakcje seksualne i kontrolę wytrysku.39

Hormony są niezbędne do regulacji funkcji seksualnych, a ich zaburzenia mogą prowadzić do przedwczesnego wytrysku. Testosteron jest zazwyczaj kojarzony z libido, ale wpływa również na czas wytrysku.40

Czynniki anatomiczne i zaburzenia układu moczowo-płciowego

Różne schorzenia i uwarunkowania anatomiczne mogą przyczyniać się do przedwczesnego wytrysku:41

  • Zapalenie prostaty i przewlekły ból miednicy – przewlekłe zapalenie gruczołu krokowego (prostaty) jest częstym znaleziskiem u mężczyzn zarówno z pierwotnym, jak i nabytym PE.42 Badania pokazują wyższą częstość występowania przewlekłego zapalenia prostaty wśród pacjentów z PE i odwrotnie.43
  • Zwiększona wrażliwość prącia – wielu mężczyzn z PE ma zwiększoną wrażliwość w okolicy genitalnej. Ta zwiększona wrażliwość może powodować szybszy wytrysk. Według badań opublikowanych w Journal of Andrology, u mężczyzn doświadczających przedwczesnego wytrysku stwierdzono większą wrażliwość prącia, co utrudnia opóźnienie wytrysku podczas aktywności seksualnej.44
  • Krótkie wędzidełko – jedno z badań wykazało, że krótkie wędzidełko występowało u 43% osób dotkniętych całożyciowym przedwczesnym wytryskiem.45
  • Żylaki powrózka nasiennego – obecność żylaków powrózka nasiennego wiąże się z wysokim poziomem stanu zapalnego w okolicy miednicy, co może wpływać na funkcje seksualne.46
  • Zapalenie cewki moczowej – zapalenie lub infekcja cewki moczowej mogą wpływać na funkcje seksualne i przyczyniać się do PE.47

Czynniki genetyczne

Coraz więcej dowodów wskazuje na to, że przedwczesny wytrysk może być uwarunkowany genetycznie. Badanie opublikowane w International Journal of Impotence Research wykazało, że mężczyźni z rodzinną historią PE są bardziej narażeni na wystąpienie tego schorzenia. Badacze uważają, że genetyka odgrywa rolę w tym, jak szybko mózg przetwarza sygnały prowadzące do wytrysku.48

Całożyciowy PE wiąże się również z występowaniem rodzinnym oraz możliwymi polimorfizmami genetycznymi, co sugeruje genetyczne predyspozycje do tego zaburzenia.4950

Choroby współistniejące

Różne schorzenia mogą przyczyniać się do rozwoju przedwczesnego wytrysku:51

  • Zaburzenia erekcji – PE i zaburzenia erekcji często współistnieją. Mężczyźni z zaburzeniami erekcji mogą próbować szybko osiągnąć wytrysk, zanim nastąpi utrata erekcji, co może prowadzić do wyuczonego wzorca przedwczesnego wytrysku.5253
  • Cukrzyca – może prowadzić do neuropatii i zaburzeń funkcji seksualnych, w tym PE.54
  • Choroby neurologiczne – takie jak stwardnienie rozsiane czy neuropatie obwodowe mogą wpływać na kontrolę wytrysku.55
  • Nadciśnienie tętnicze – zwiększony tonus współczulny związany z nadciśnieniem może wpływać na funkcje seksualne.56
  • Zespół metaboliczny – związany z nabytym PE.57

Czynniki związane ze stylem życia i środowiskowe

Różne aspekty stylu życia mogą wpływać na ryzyko występowania przedwczesnego wytrysku:58

Używki i substancje psychoaktywne

  • Alkohol – nadmierne spożycie alkoholu może wpływać na funkcje seksualne i przyczyniać się do PE.59
  • Narkotyki rekreacyjne – substancje takie jak kokaina, amfetamina i ecstasy mogą wpływać na funkcje seksualne i kontrolę wytrysku.6061
  • Leki – niektóre leki, szczególnie te wpływające na neuroprzekaźniki (adrenalina, epinefryna), mogą wpływać na wytrysk.62 Również odstawienie lub detoksykacja od leków przepisanych lub rekreacyjnych może czasami prowadzić do PE.63

Inne czynniki środowiskowe

  • Nieprawidłowe techniki masturbacji – szybka masturbacja może prowadzić do wyuczonego wzorca szybkiego osiągania wytrysku.64
  • Rzadka aktywność seksualna – może zwiększać wrażliwość na stymulację i prowadzić do szybszego wytrysku.65
  • Zaburzenia snu – niedobór snu lub niska jakość snu mogą wpływać na funkcje seksualne, w tym kontrolę wytrysku.66
  • Dieta – niezdrowa dieta może mieć wpływ na funkcje seksualne.67

Teoria ewolucyjna

Niektórzy badacze sugerują, że z perspektywy ewolucyjnej zdolność do szybkiego osiągania wytrysku mogła dawać korzyści reprodukcyjne. Z perspektywy ewolucyjnej, wydaje się logiczne, że mężczyźni, którzy są w stanie szybciej ejakulować, mogą mieć większe szanse na zapłodnienie kobiety niż ci, którzy wymagają długotrwałej stymulacji, aby osiągnąć wytrysk.68

Złożona etiologia przedwczesnych wytrysków

Etiologia przedwczesnego wytrysku jest złożona i wieloczynnikowa, obejmująca interakcję czynników psychologicznych, biologicznych i środowiskowych.69 W wielu przypadkach nie można wskazać jednej konkretnej przyczyny, a raczej kombinację różnych czynników, które przyczyniają się do wystąpienia tego zaburzenia.70

Zrozumienie różnorodnych przyczyn przedwczesnego wytrysku jest kluczowe dla opracowania skutecznych strategii terapeutycznych. W wielu przypadkach najlepsze efekty przynosi terapia kombinowana, łącząca farmakoterapię (np. selektywne inhibitory wychwytu zwrotnego serotoniny jak dapoksetyna) z psychoterapią i zmianami stylu życia.71

Ważne jest również, aby rozróżnić między pierwotnym a wtórnym przedwczesnym wytryskiem, ponieważ ich etiologia i podejście terapeutyczne mogą się różnić. W przypadku wtórnego PE kluczowe jest leczenie choroby podstawowej, jeśli taka istnieje, podczas gdy pierwotny PE może wymagać bardziej złożonego podejścia terapeutycznego.72

Warto podkreślić, że przedwczesny wytrysk, mimo że jest źródłem znacznego dyskomfortu i stresu, w większości przypadków może być skutecznie leczony przy odpowiednim podejściu diagnostycznym i terapeutycznym.73

    Premature ejaculation occurs when you ejaculate (cum) earlier than you or your partner would like during sex. Its a common problem, affecting 30% to 40% of people with a penis. Causes include physical problems, chemical imbalances and emotional/psychological factors. […] Many healthcare providers would define premature ejaculation as ejaculating within one minute of beginning intercourse. The exact timing for premature ejaculation varies and only your healthcare provider can make a diagnosis. […] Anxiety/psychological factors are most often the cause of premature ejaculation. Extra sensitive penile skin is also a common cause. […] Emotional or psychological causes include performance anxiety, stress, relationship problems, depressive thoughts, and poor self-esteem. […] Physical and chemical causes include erectile dysfunction, a hormonal problem involving oxytocin levels, low serotonin or dopamine levels, a penis that’s extra sensitive to stimulation, and an inflamed prostate.

    Premature ejaculation occurs in men when semen leave the body (ejaculate) sooner than wanted during sex. […] The exact cause of premature ejaculation isn’t known. It was once thought to be only psychological. But health care providers now know that premature ejaculation involves a complex interaction of psychological and biological factors. […] Psychological factors that might play a role include: Early sexual experiences, Sexual abuse, Poor body image, Depression, Worrying about premature ejaculation, Guilty feelings that can cause you to rush through sex. […] A number of biological factors might contribute to premature ejaculation. They may include: Irregular hormone levels, Irregular levels of brain chemicals, Swelling and infection of the prostate or urethra, Inherited traits.
  • #4 Premature Ejaculation: Aetiology and Treatment Strategies
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6915345/
    Premature ejaculation (PE) is a highly prevalent male sexual dysfunction that is often neglected, presenting a currently unmet therapeutic need. […] The classification of PE has historically been varied and at times ambiguous, contributing to inaccurate prevalence estimates. […] Patients with lifelong and acquired PE are most likely to benefit from combination therapy of pharmacological treatment in the form of selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor dapoxetine, psychosexual behavioural therapy and psychological therapy. […] Acquired PE however, refers to reduced ejaculatory latency that develops at some point in the patients life. […] Patients with acquired PE have experienced normal ejaculations in the past, and the dysfunction is usually due to an identifiable medical, psychological or interpersonal underlying cause.

    https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4471-4766-4_16
    The etiology of premature ejaculation is not well understood (International Society for Sexual Medicine 2008; Waldinger 2007). […] From an etiological and therapeutic viewpoint, it is useful to distinguish between primary (lifelong, from the onset of sexual functioning) and secondary premature ejaculation (acquired after a period of normal sexual functioning) (Sharlip 2006); the latter is not rarely associated with other sexual dysfunctions, such as erectile difficulties (Rosen 2000).
  • #6 Premature Ejaculation: Aetiology and Treatment Strategies
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6915345/
    Risk factors for acquired PE include psycho-relational, endocrine and urologic dysfunction. […] Other causes of acquired premature ejaculation have occasionally been reported, including prostatitis and hyperthyroidism. […] Lifelong PE is characterised by low IELT, usually less than one minute, from the first sexual experience, and on most, if not all, subsequent encounters. […] This form of PE is suggestive of a functional disturbance, and may be linked with disturbances in timing of erection, detumescence and arousal. […] Lifelong PE has also been linked to familial occurrence, as well as possible genetic polymorphisms. […] The underlying cause of premature ejaculation should be managed first, followed by secondary treatment of PE if the symptoms do not remediate after treating the primary causes.

    Premature ejaculation (PE) affects a large number of men worldwide, but many are left wondering why it happens. Understanding the root causes of PE is important to finding a solution. Premature ejaculation is when a man ejaculates sooner than he or his partner would like during intercourse, often within one minute of penetration. […] Research has shown that premature ejaculation is largely a neurobiological condition. The brain and nervous system play a crucial role in regulating ejaculation. Studies indicate that men who experience PE may have differences in their serotonin levels. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps control ejaculation. […] There is increasing evidence that premature ejaculation can be hereditary. A study published in the International Journal of Impotence Research found that men with a family history of PE are more likely to experience the condition themselves. Researchers believe that genetics play a role in how quickly the brain processes the signals that lead to ejaculation.

  • #9 The pathophysiology of acquired premature ejaculation – McMahon – Translational Andrology and Urology
    https://tau.amegroups.org/article/view/11133/html
    Acquired PE is commonly due to sexual performance anxiety, psychological or relationship problems, erectile dysfunction (ED), and occasionally prostatitis and hyperthyroidism, consistent with the predominant organic etiology of acquired PE, men with this complaint are usually older, have a higher mean BMI and a greater incidence of comorbid disease including hypertension, sexual desire disorder, diabetes mellitus, chronic prostatitis, and ED compared to lifelong, variable and subjective PE. […] Historically, attempts to explain the etiology of PE have included a diverse range of biological and psychological theories. Most of these proposed aetiologies are not evidence based and are speculative at best. […] Acquired PE is commonly due to sexual performance anxiety, psychological or relationship problems, erectile dysfunction (ED), and occasionally prostatitis, hyperthyroidism, or during withdrawal/detoxification from prescribed or recreational drugs.

    Premature ejaculation (PE) is a very common sexual disorder, affecting around 20-30% of men. […] Primary PE starts when first becoming sexually active and is often psychological, this is sometimes called 'life-long PE’. […] Secondary PE tends to occur later on in life and can be caused by both psychological and physical factors. […] Situational PE is when it only occurs in certain situations, e.g. during partnered sex, rather than solo masturbation. […] Early sexual experiences can have an impact on your future sex life. […] Being anxious because of inexperience when first having sex can contribute to PE. […] Being in the early stages of a relationship or with a new partner, particularly if it’s been a long time since you last ejaculated can contribute to PE. […] Childhood experiences can impact PE.
  • #11 Premature ejaculation – Wikipedia
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_ejaculation
    PE may be caused by prostatitis or as a medication side effect. […] PE has been classified into four subtypes – lifelong, acquired, variable and subjective PE. The pathophysiology of lifelong PE is mediated by a complex interplay of central and peripheral serotonergic, dopaminergic, oxytocinergic, endocrinological, genetic and epigenetic factors. Acquired PE may occur due to psychological problems – such as sexual performance anxiety, and psychological or relationship problems – and/or co-morbidity, including erectile dysfunction, prostatitis and hyperthyroidism.

    Premature ejaculation is a complex condition that can be influenced by a combination of psychological, physiological, and relational factors. Identifying these causes is the first step towards finding effective solutions. […] One of the most significant psychological causes of PE is performance anxiety. Men may fear that they will not satisfy their partner or worry excessively about their sexual performance, leading to heightened arousal and a lack of control over ejaculation. […] General life stress, relationship issues, and emotional distress can contribute to premature ejaculation. High stress levels can impact sexual function and reduce the ability to control ejaculation. […] Negative or traumatic sexual experiences in the past can create anxiety and fear around sexual activity, which can manifest as premature ejaculation.
  • #14 Premature Ejaculation: Symptoms, Causes, Treatment
    https://www.healthline.com/health/mens-health/premature-ejaculation
    Premature ejaculation can be caused by certain physical conditions and psychological or emotional factors. […] There are psychological or emotional components to PE, but there are also other factors that contribute to it. […] Some psychological components may be temporary. […] PE may be caused by underlying conditions or mental health concerns too, including: poor body image or poor self-esteem, depression, history of sexual abuse, either as the perpetrator, or as the victim or survivor. […] Other things that can lead to PE include: worrying about ejaculating too early, anxiety about limited sexual experience, problems or dissatisfaction in your current relationship, stress. […] Physical causes can also play a major role in PE. […] Abnormal levels of certain hormones, such as testosterone, or chemicals produced by nerve cells called neurotransmitters may contribute to PE. […] Inflammation of the prostate or urethra can also cause numerous symptoms, including PE and ED.

The manifold candidate aetiologies of A-PE are perhaps best regarded as a series of psychological, relational and organic risk factors for A-PE. […] Psychological problems such as sexual performance anxiety, psychological or relationship problems may cause acquired PE. […] Anxiety has been reported as a cause of PE by multiple authors and is entrenched in the folklore of sexual medicine as the most likely cause of PE despite scant empirical research evidence to support any causal role. […] The causal link between anxiety and PE has been largely regarded as speculative and not supported by any empirical evidence and is in fact contrary to empirical evidence from other researchers.

    Premature ejaculation is typically defined as reaching climax within one minute of penetration, and there are several psychosocial factors that can contribute to the condition many linked to anxiety. […] Money troubles, job stress and relationship problems can all contribute to premature ejaculation. To make matters worse, anxiety can be both a cause and an effect. […] A research article published recently in the Frontiers in Neuroscience states that premature ejaculation falls into two main categories. Primary premature ejaculation starts with your first sexual experience and is lifelong. Acquired premature ejaculation develops at some point after a period of normal ejaculation.

    Premature ejaculation happens when an individual has an orgasm sooner than they or their partner would like. Premature ejaculation can happen before or shortly after penetration. […] A number of emotional and physical factors can lead to premature ejaculation. It may happen when a person becomes too excited or stimulated, or if their penis is very sensitive. It may also happen if they’re nervous or uncomfortable with a new partner. Other common causes include the following: Anxiety about performance, Guilty feelings, Depression, Stress, Relationship problems, Erectile dysfunction. […] People who have a low amount of a special chemical called serotonin in their brain may have problems with premature ejaculation. […] Not in most cases. Rarely, the condition results from a serious health problem, such as nervous system damage from surgery or trauma.

    Ejaculation disorders are problems with how your penis releases semen (ejaculates). […] Anything that damages your nerves or interferes with the ejaculation process can lead to an ejaculation disorder. […] Premature ejaculation occurs when you ejaculate sooner than you or your partner prefers. […] Experts dont know the exact cause of premature ejaculation. It could have to do with your sensitivity levels or hormones. Sometimes its psychological. Several factors could influence the speed of your orgasm: […] Early sexual experiences: You may have had early experiences that required sex to finish quickly. Sometimes these habits continue into adulthood, resulting in rapid ejaculation. […] Performance anxiety: Some people pressure themselves to perform well in the bedroom. This pressure can develop into long-term anxiety about sex, which might lead to premature ejaculation.

    https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/435884-overview
    Premature ejaculation is the most common sexual disorder in men younger than 40 years, with 30-70% of males in the United States affected to some degree at one time or another. It has historically been considered a psychological disease with no identified organic cause. […] The cause of premature ejaculation is considered psychological, although this has not been definitively confirmed. […] One psychological explanation for premature ejaculation is that males are conditioned by societal pressures to reach climax quickly because of fear of discovery when masturbating as teenagers or during early sexual experiences with others. This pattern of rapid attainment of sexual release is difficult to change in marital or long-term relationships. […] It has been theorized that evolutionary factors are involved. From an evolutionary perspective, it seems logical that males who can ejaculate rapidly might be more likely to fertilize a female than those who require prolonged stimulation to reach climax.

    Ejaculation is ultimately a reflex controlled by the nervous system. For some men, this reflex may be hypersensitive, meaning it triggers too early during intercourse. The ejaculatory reflex is triggered by signals from the brain that travel through the spinal cord to the pelvic muscles. In cases of PE, this reflex pathway is often hyperactive, meaning the signal to ejaculate is sent faster than it should be. […] In some cases, men may have developed conditioned responses that lead to premature ejaculation. This often stems from early sexual experiences where quick ejaculation may have been a habit, such as in situations where there was a need to ejaculate quickly due to lack of privacy or anxiety. […] Studies have shown that testosterone and serotonin are particularly important in this process. Low testosterone levels have been linked to PE in some men. Testosterone not only drives libido but also plays a role in the body’s ability to delay ejaculation.

    Premature ejaculation is the most common sexual disorder in men younger than 40 years, with 30-70% of males in the United States affected to some degree at one time or another.
