Brief Answer:
It has nothing to do with early ejaculation
Detailed Answer:
Hi, XXXXXXX thanks for your query.
Your triglyceride level is borderline high and you need not to worry. It can be controlled by proper dieting and exercise.
High triglyceride and obesity usually do not interfere with sexual performance.
I have few questions for you: Give answers in the same order they have been asked:
1. Do you have high blood pressure or any other chronic medical illness?
2. Are you taking any medications for your sexual problem?
3. For how long have you been facing this problem?
4. Do you repeatedly think about past failures in the bed? Do you have problem with erection also?
5. Does your wife complaints about your early ejaculation? does she remain dissatisfied?
6. Do you feel embarrassment about this?
7. Do you have habit of masturbating and ejaculating early? If yes then for how long have you been masturbating?
Early ejaculation at this age is mostly because of psychological issues.
I am waiting for your reply.

Brief Answer:
It is psychological and easily treated
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing again.
Sorry, I thought you may be married.
The erectile dysfunction ans premature ejaculation at this age are mostly due to psychological problems like anxiety related to sexual performance in the bed and partner's satisfaction, regret for past experiences.
It can be because of conflict between the partners. Continuous house hold stress or job related stress can cause these problems. sex with prostitute when they are rapid climax can be the reason and sex in hurry like at places where chances of being caught are high. All these are psychological problems.
Anxiety during sex distracts your mind and you lose the erection.
Some of the tips are as follows:
1. While sex you must spend more time in foreplay before going for penetration and during penetration also foreplay should continue.
2. Both the partners must be knowing about the sensitive part of each other and what his/her partner likes the most.
3. There should be knowledge about sexual organs.
4. both should be properly seduced before penetration.
5. Masturbation should be done at frequency not more than twice in a week.
6. To avoid premature ejaculation you should chose the position in which you feel least stimulation. That depend upon your past experience.
7. Condoms available with anesthetic agent which delays ejaculation.
8. There are behavioral techniques to be performed during the sex like squeeze technique, stop-start technique and other interruption methods. You can read about them from the internet. they are easy to understand apply. the effects will appear rapidly and last longer. Your partner can help you applying this techniques.
Apart from these techniques drugs are also available which delays ejaculation. These are SSRI antidepressant drugs which should be taken on daily basis. Effects will appear after 15 to 20 days. [paroxetine, srtraline, fluoxetine etc.]
Another strategy is to take drug before half an hour of sex like dapoxetine.
For erectile dysfunction, you should reduce your anxiety by relaxation exercise, meditation and yoga. I sometime prescribe low dose anxiolytic medication for these purpose. Do not go for viagra, it has side effects and you will become dependent on it.
For more information and guidance visit a sexologist or psychiatrist. Follow the advice an get married soon.
Go for low fat diet and regular exercise.
I hope this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health.
