When most people think about problems with sexual performance such as early ejaculation, they often approach it as something that only affects their sex life. While it’s true this problematic and common condition does affect a person’s sexual happiness, it can also affect many other areas of his life. The fact of the matter is that anything that affects your sex life often does have a way of branching out and delivering some surprising problems.

At Home

Most guys dealing with early ejaculation are reluctant to address the issue directly with their partner. Even though sexual performance issues are not the kind of thing you can really hide from your partner, most guys just pretend as though the issue doesn’t exist. Their wife or girlfriend will, nine times out of ten, go along with that approach since, really, who wants to bring that kind of thing up.

But ignoring the issue does not help at all and that particular approach can even make the problem much worse. When people pretend something that is very clearly going on isn’t happening at all, it causes a rift between them. It becomes an unspoken problem that drives a wedge between the two people. Over time, this ridge gets wider and wider as the woman wonders why the man isn’t doing anything to solve the problem, even if he is doing everything he can think of. She has the impression he just doesn’t care because she does not realize how much work and effort he is putting into finding a solution. The end result is a fractured – and sometimes entire broken – relationship.

With Friends

While most guys don’t normally discuss sexual performance in any great detail with friends, problems in the bedroom can definitely cause problems in platonic relationships as well. When a guy has something bothering him and weighing him down, it means he can’t engage fully with his friends and just kick back and relax. When your mind is somewhere else, relaxing simply isn’t as easy as it should be. The end result is a man who feels isolated and cut off, even from his closest friends. This is one of the most ironic problems early ejaculation can cause. Truth be told, early ejaculation is the single most common form of sexual performance problem in the world so the truth is that if guys would open up to their friends, they would be able to find help, advice, and support.

At Work

Work relationships, like platonic relationships, aren’t usually a factor in a man’s sexual happiness but when his head isn’t in the game, that distraction definitely has a potential for problems at the office. Distractions at home mean that you can’t focus and buckle down and get to business when you need to. Worse yet, stress from the job can contribute to making early ejaculation even worse or potentially causing it to snowball into a more serious problem like erectile dysfunction or a loss of libido.

Understanding how problems in the bedroom can affect other areas of your life is the first step in dealing with the issue one and for all. Reach out to medical professionals in order to get the active help you need and don’t be afraid to reach out for personal help as well. Talk to your partner so she understands what is happening and so that she does not blame herself for it. She will also be able to help you once you settle on a treatment approach and she can be a part of some forms of sexual treatment which you can use to get a handle on the condition while getting your sex life back on track.
