THE ESSENTIAL
- Premature ejaculation is ejaculation that occurs too soon, usually before or shortly following penetration.
- The best known causes are anxiety and a particular sensitivity of the penis.
Man Suffering From Premature Ejaculation Has Dramatically Increased Sex Duration With New Treatment, Says a new study published in the Asian Journal of Urology.
Stimulation of the dorsal nerve of the penis
The subject is still extremely taboo, but many men suffer from premature ejaculation: regarding 40% have this kind of experience at least once in their life. Few treatments exist. Dapoxetine, for example, is currently one of only two drugs capable of remedying the situation, but it comes with significant side effects. Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) can also help, but without a total guarantee of success.
In an attempt to find new solutions, Mohamad Moussa’s team decided to turn… to electricity! Concretely, the researchers stimulated the dorsal nerve of the penis of a man suffering from premature ejaculation with two electrodes. The sessions lasted 30 minutes, and were repeated several times a week for 6 months.
4 minutes without ejaculating
The report doesn’t say if it was painful, but the results were spectacular. The patient, who only lasted 60 seconds at the beginning of the experiment, managed at the end of the treatment to delay his ejaculation by almost 4 minutes. A figure still quite modest, but which will still have been multiplied by 4.
Other additional research is needed to validate this new treatment, in particular to verify that its effect is not just a placebo and to test it on other men.
