Introduction

In general, symptoms of premature ejaculation mainly include rapid ejaculation, poor control, accompanying anxiety, partner dissatisfaction, and decreased quality of sexual life. In daily life, it is recommended to maintain regular exercise, practice pelvic floor muscle contractions, wear loose-fitting underwear, reduce intake of spicy food and alcohol, try the stop-squeeze technique, communicate openly with your partner, jointly establish a comfortable rhythm, gradually extend duration, and rebuild confidence.

Generally, the symptoms of premature ejaculation mainly include rapid ejaculation, poor control, accompanying anxiety, partner dissatisfaction, and decreased quality of sexual life. The details are as follows:

1. Rapid ejaculation: Ejaculation occurs within one minute after penile vaginal penetration, or even before penetration, with this pattern persisting for more than six months and occurring in nearly every sexual encounter.

2. Poor control: Men are unable to voluntarily delay ejaculation. Even when attempting distraction techniques or adjusting rhythm, they still find it difficult to extend the latency period, often feeling frustrated.

3. Accompanying anxiety: Feelings of tension, worry, and embarrassment arise due to premature ejaculation. Anticipatory anxiety appears before sexual activity, creating a vicious cycle that further shortens the time to ejaculation.

4. Partner dissatisfaction: The sexual partner consistently fails to achieve satisfaction, leading to complaints, emotional detachment, or refusal of sex, resulting in reduced intimacy and potentially triggering relationship conflicts.

5. Decreased quality of sexual life: Overall satisfaction with sexual life declines. Men may avoid sexual contact, causing strain in marital or partner relationships, which can negatively affect daily interactions.

In daily life, it is recommended to maintain regular exercise, practice pelvic floor muscle contractions, wear loose-fitting underwear, reduce intake of spicy foods and alcohol, try the stop-squeeze technique, and communicate openly with one's partner to jointly establish a comfortable rhythm, gradually extend sexual duration, and rebuild confidence.
