Psychological impact of PE and benefits of psychotherapy
Published 09/19/2011 | 
Premature ejaculation is the rapid ejaculation prior to the wishes of both sexual partners. The causes of PE are not fully understood and explained still there is a great range of explanations from the purely biological to the purely psychological. Recent researches show that it is a more complex correlation involved between physiology and psychology. Psychological impact of PE makes the situation with ejaculation even worse so the treatment is usually complex consisting of medications and psychological therapies.
Inability to satisfy a partner especially if it happens frequently can decrease men’s self-confidence, cause stress, anxiety and depression. A man usually deals with problems in the existing relationships because of fear to fail and misunderstanding of the partner. Very often males with PE are reluctant to start new relationships.
Different psychological methods are available for PE treatment. And it is considered by most doctors that psychotherapy alone is best for men or for both partners where the problem is clearly psychological, for example, PE is caused by depression or performance anxiety.
An individual psychotherapy may help single men who want to start new relationships and overcome their fears.
Psychotherapy may reveal some facts from the past from childhood which may be the causes of the existing condition.
Individual or combined psychotherapy may help partners if they are both moved to solve the problem.
