Question: Hi I have problem that when I start intercource with my wife I ejaculate in 1-2 min and which made me depressed.please help.
Brief Answer:
need some more details.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
Before suggesting a treatment, I would like to tell you some facts about normal male sexuality:
-First there is excitement phase in which the person is aroused and there is erection. Heightened excitement lasts from 30 seconds to several minutes.
-Then there is orgasm phase which consists of a peaking of sexual pleasure, with the release of sexual tension in form of ejaculation. Orgasm lasts from 3 to 25 seconds.
-Then there is resolution which lasts for 30mins to 1 hour.
Premature ejaculation is labelled when there is persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation before, on, or shortly after penetration and before the person wishes it.
Does your partner also feels that you ejaculate early?
Do you take any medicines for any health conditions?
Alcohol or any drug abuse?
I know this is a bit more detail then you asked for. But these facts will help you to understand your problem well. We must know what is normal before labeling it a disorder.
Kindly revert back with the answer to queries above as follow-up.
This will help me to guide you better.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Wait for refractory period to pass.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the follow-up query.
I would like to tell you that after orgasm, men have a refractory period that may last from several minutes to many hours; in that period they cannot be stimulated to further orgasm.
Women do not have a refractory period and are capable of multiple and successive orgasms.
So you should not get frustrated and keep yourself calm and satisfied. The frustration can generate desperation and thus problems in intercourse.
Both of you can discuss these facts to create a better understanding between you.
However, I understand that problem of early ejaculation is making you feel depressed. For this, drugs like paroxetine and dapoxetine are safe and work very well. But these are prescription drugs. I would suggest you to visit your nearest psychiatrist to get suitable prescription and doses for you.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Kindly close the discussion if you have no more queires and give your valuable feedback.
Thanks.
