Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

Masturbation is considered as a part of normal human sexual behaviour and it is very common among young males. It does not have any bad effects on health and does not lead to sexual problems.

Some people have many wrong ideas about masturbation - that it causes ill effects on health like nervous weakness, reduced energy, etc or sexual problems like early fall in the future. All this is not true and these are just myths and misconceptions, so stop worrying about it.

Premature ejaculation is a very common and treatable problem. Premature ejaculation is diagnosed when ejaculation time is less than 3 Min, or both partners are not satisfied with sex.


Premature ejaculation (PE) is common problem and depends on multiple factors like:
*Psychological factors: most common. The psychological factors may include stress, performance anxiety and depression

*Medical causes: Reflex activity of ejaculatory system, thyroid problems, diabetes, hypertension, excessive alcohol use and neurological causes.

Following steps will be helpful for treatment:

- Treatment of above conditions (if present) after examination by physician.
- Try distracting yourself when you feel you are about to ejaculate. Take a deep breath and stay relaxed during intercourse.
- Do not worry about performance and talk to your partner openly about any apprehensions if you have. Conversation with partner during sex also delay ejaculation.
- Stop-start or squeeze-pause technique- In stop start technique, near ejaculation stop all movements, relax and think about something else. Then wait for 1 minute before starting movements. According to number of stops, ejaculation time will come under your control.
- In many persons woman on top position increases ejaculation time, so try this position and experiment with other positions also.
- Condoms with desensitizing creams (marketed as Kohinoor extra time) help in increasing ejaculation time.
- Ejaculation time also increases with experience in sexual life.

Follow all these above methods regularly and your problem will solve in few weeks. If it do not resolved than medicines like Paroxetine is helpful, which can be taken after prescription from psychiatrist.
