Problems with sexual performance can happen to anyone, and premature ejaculation is one of the most common problems men face. Finding treatments may be easier than ever thanks to better access to medical and health information, but understanding the cause is not always something men bother to do. Taking the time to uncover the root cause of any sexual performance problem offers real insight into a person’s overall health as well as offering the best opportunity for clear and decisive treatment.

The Mind Body Connection

Human sexuality is a complex issue that involves both physical and mental stimulation and energy. As a result, treating any sort of sexual dysfunction often means looking at areas such as nutrition, physical fitness and both emotional and mental health. With today’s On-The-Go lifestyle, physical fitness and proper nutrition are often lacking in the majority of the population. Fast food lunches, convenience meal dinners and plenty of soda, coffee and sugary drinks saps your energy, lowers stamina and interferes with healthy circulation. Each of these contributes directly to sexual performance in one way or another.

For a physical issue such as nutrition and fitness, adopting healthier habits can provide quick results in more ways than one. Adopting a new way of eating, even for only a week or two, can facilitate huge improvements. Loading up on whole grain, fresh fruit, raw vegetables and other healthy choices will improve the overall health of your body which has an immediate impact on sexual performance.

Improving diet is only a part of the solution. Overall physical fitness must be addressed as well when the root cause of premature ejaculation is a physical one. Both strength training and aerobic exercise can help to improve stamina and can also improve flexibility This means men will be able to not only last longer between the sheets, but will have the strength and flexibility to perform new moves in and out of the bedroom. This alone can help to address sexual performance issues such as premature ejaculation while also putting the spark back into their sex life.

Many men work hard to keep their bodies in perfect shape and routinely hit the gym, exercise outdoors and fuel their body with healthy whole grains, fresh fruit and vegetables and regular nutritional supplements. Problems with performance often strikes these men completely by surprise and leaves them wondering how it could happen to them.

In these cases, a emotional or mental issue is the likely culprit. Once again, there are dozens of possibilities, some of which may require help from a trained professional. By and large, however, the most common culprit is stress. Stress has been listed as a contributing factor in nearly every chronic condition and is can often be at the root of conditions such as high blood pressure and even heart disease. Stress can originate from anywhere and common long term stressors include work and personal relationships.

In order to deal with stress effectively, you need to identify the cause and then deal with the problem. This process takes time, but steps can be taken to manage stress more effectively so that it doesn’t contribute to various conditions, including sexual performance problems. Effective ways to manage stress include:

• Yoga ad exercise
• Meditation / Deep Breathing
• Team sports
• Relaxation
• Organize your home / office
• Learn to prioritize
• Get enough sleep

These small steps can make big changes in terms of how much stress you’re carrying around and the effect it can have on conditions such as premature ejaculation and other sexual performance problems.

Like many other conditions, premature ejaculation can be caused by a number of factors. Sometimes the root cause isn’t a single cause at all, but instead a build-up of problems involving various aspects of your daily life. Taking the time to understand how the condition is caused and what steps can be taken to get it under control is the best way to find treatments that will work quickly while offering long-term solutions as well.
