Understanding the Causes

Physical & Psychological Factors

Performance Anxiety

It could come from nervousness related to sexual performance, and this reduces control over timing.

Stress

Stress could be coming from work, other relationships, life changes or other events in your life.

Relationship Factors

Poor communication, unresolved conflict or discomfort with a partner can influence sexual response.

Increased Sensitivity

A penis that is highly sensitive to stimulation is one of the most common physical causes.

1 in 5

Men aged 18 to 59

Report premature ejaculation at some point. It is the most common sexual concern in men.

Brain Chemical Levels

Serotonin and dopamine help regulate sexual excitement and timing. Low levels of these chemicals can shorten the time to ejaculation.

Erectile Dysfunction

Difficulty maintaining an erection can lead to rushing. Where both conditions are present, erectile dysfunction is treated first.

Hormonal & Prostate Factors

Thyroid problems, other hormonal imbalances and inflammation of the prostate or urethra can each contribute in some cases.
