Persistent premature ejaculation can be resolved by the start-stop technique (stopping before reaching orgasm then starting allover again), or the squeeze technique. Both techniques are prescribed by a sex therapist. Several medications may be prescribed by a physician for resistant cases. I am enclosing some medical information that might interest you. PREMATURE EJACULATION DEFINITION Ejaculation occurring before the patient wishes it, because of recurrent and persistent absence of reasonable control over ejaculation and orgasm during sexual activity. INCIDENCE Premature ejaculation affects 40-60% third of all males. It is usually primary. If secondary it suggests significant marital tensions. ETIOLOGY The hypersensitive ejaculatory reflex is almost always psychogenic due to performance anxiety; over concern with pleasing the partner or unresolved marital problems. Rarely it is encountered during initiation of antidepressants, narcotic withdrawal, multiple sclerosis or spinal cord tumor. TREATMENT Start stop & squeeze techniques. Success rate is around 95%. Best wishes, Hussein Ghanem MD
