Hello Doctor!
I recently had an intimate experience with my girlfriend that left me feeling concerned. During some preliminary actions, we both became excited, but I found myself reaching ejaculation very quickly. Additionally, when we attempted penetration with a condom, I ejaculated almost immediately upon contact.
This has made me worried about my ability to maintain control during intimate moments. Is this type of experience normal? Are there medical concerns I should be aware of, and what steps can I take to improve my control in these situations?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It’s common to feel concerned about experiencing premature ejaculation (PE) during intimate moments, especially in new relationships. PE occurs when ejaculation happens sooner than desired, and it can be triggered by several factors:
Anxiety and Nervousness: Performance anxiety can heighten arousal, making you more likely to ejaculate quickly.
Excitement: The thrill of intimacy can overwhelm your body's natural responses, leading to premature ejaculation.
Lack of Experience: New sexual experiences can create unexpected reactions in your body, contributing to quicker ejaculation.
If you find that these issues persist, it may be helpful to consult a healthcare professional specializing in sexual health. They can evaluate your situation and provide tailored advice or treatment options.
Thanks
