Root Causes

Causes of Delayed Ejaculation

Delayed ejaculation can result from a complex interplay of physical, psychological, and relationship factors.

Physical Causes

Hormonal Imbalances

Low testosterone or thyroid hormone abnormalities can affect sexual function and ejaculation timing.

Aging-related sensory changes

As men age, they may experience reduced sensitivity in the penis, which can make it harder to reach orgasm.

Medication Side Effects

Certain medications, especially antidepressants (SSRIs), blood pressure medications, and some antipsychotics can delay ejaculation.

Psychological Factors

Performance Anxiety

Fear of failure or worry about sexual performance can create a mental block that makes it difficult to reach orgasm.

Depression and Stress

Psychological conditions like depression or chronic stress can significantly impact sexual function and delay ejaculation.

Relationship Problems

Poor communication or unresolved conflicts with a partner can create emotional barriers that interfere with sexual response and ejaculation.

Lifestyle Factors

Alcohol and Substance Use

Regular alcohol consumption and recreational drugs can impair sexual function and significantly delay ejaculation.

Specific Masturbation Patterns

Frequent masturbation with firm grip or specific techniques that can't be replicated during partnered sex.

Fatigue and Stress

Exhaustion from work or daily responsibilities can make it more difficult to focus on sexual pleasure and reach orgasm.
