Human sexuality is affected by and directly impacts nearly every other part of our lives. Just as a night burning up the sheets can put a bounce in your step the following day, dealing with any sort of sexual performance problem can be a drain on your energy and elevate stress levels. This means that a problem you thought you could confine to the bedroom can actually have a huge impact in the boardroom.Premature ejaculation is often cited as the most common sexual dysfunction in men across all cultures, social standings and economic levels. Most men have the occasional problem with it but it resolves itself quickly. For others, the problem becomes chronic and begins to affect their lives in ways they never imagined. Here we’ll take a look at some common problems it can cause and how getting treatment can help.

Sex and Your Job

Chances are, sex isn’t directly tied to your annual performance review or taken into consideration when you’re applying for a promotion. The quality of your sex life can, however, affect your performance at work as well as how others perceive you. Dealing with long term premature ejaculation can have an obvious effect on a man’s sense of self-esteem. If the condition goes on for too long, a self-esteem problem that begins in the bedroom can become a real issue in the work place. As men struggle internally with different treatment methods, advice and the wealth of information available on the topic, it can leave them distracted, irritable and difficult to work with in a professional setting.

While treatment for premature ejaculation can take time to work, taking decisive action to address the issue is a positive step in the right direction. Part of the way the condition affects work performance is by occupying the mind with what “should be done” or the variety of options men learn about online. Sitting down and making a plan for self-help options or speaking to a medical professional about the best course of action to take helps to resolve the issue mentally, helping you to focus and work more effectively.

Family, Friends and Lovers – How Your Sex Life Affects Relationships

The affect premature ejaculation has on your romantic and intimate relationships is pretty obvious, but it can also impact other relationships. Dealing with a sexual issue is, by its very nature, somewhat isolating. Although society has a more open and healthy regard for sex, discussing the details of your own sex life with family and friends is generally not acceptable behaviour. Your brain, on the other hand, can often think of nothing else and as a result men find they feel as though they can’t be open and relaxed around even their closest friends or family members. They feel as though they need to be on guard at all times to ensure they don’t slip up and let their secret out.

Dealing with the issue head on alongside your wife or girlfriend helps you to address the problem effectively and share the burden. Successful treatment of any sexual dysfunction relies heavily on a treatment that works and a support system to help along the way. Many times, men think they can handle sexual performance issues on their own but when it comes to chronic conditions, having someone to confide in or even just vent to can go a long way in improving your chance of success with treatment. What’s more, working together to overcome premature ejaculation can actually strengthen a relationship, forging an emotional bond between you and your partner.

Any type of sexual performance problem is going to negatively impact your love life – it’s a simple fact of life. But many of us don’t stop to think how these problems can affect our professional and personal lives on a multitude of levels. Finding a treatment plan that works and developing a support system can help to improve your love life and get yourself back on track.
