Men's Sexual Health

Delayed Ejaculation

A frustrating but treatable condition. Evidence-based therapy can restore normal ejaculatory function and sexual satisfaction for you and your partner.

What Is Delayed Ejaculation?

Delayed ejaculation (DE) is a condition in which a man requires prolonged sexual stimulation -- often 30 minutes or more -- to reach orgasm and ejaculate, or is unable to ejaculate at all. It is the least common of the male ejaculatory disorders but one of the most distressing for both the man and his partner.

2 types

Lifelong (primary) or acquired (secondary) forms

DE can be situational -- occurring only during partnered sex but not during masturbation -- or generalised, occurring in all contexts. This distinction is critical for diagnosis and guides the treatment approach.

What Causes Delayed Ejaculation?

Psychological Factors

Performance anxiety, relationship conflict, restrictive upbringing about sex, fear of impregnation, or unconscious inhibition can all block the ejaculatory reflex.

Medication Side Effects

SSRIs, SNRIs, antipsychotics, and certain blood-pressure medications are well-known causes. Even after discontinuation, effects can persist.

Idiosyncratic Masturbation

A pattern of high-pressure, high-speed, or unusual-position masturbation can condition the body to a stimulus that partnered sex cannot replicate.

Medical & Neurological

Diabetes, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, low testosterone, prostate surgery, and age-related nerve changes can all impair ejaculatory function.

Our Treatment Approach

Behavioral Techniques

Graduated masturbation retraining, sensate focus exercises, and bridging techniques help recondition the ejaculatory response to partnered stimulation.

Medication Review

If medications are contributing, we work with your prescribing doctor to adjust dosages or switch to alternatives with fewer sexual side effects.

Sensate Focus Therapy

A structured, step-by-step programme that reduces performance pressure and rebuilds the connection between arousal, pleasure, and orgasm.

Psychotherapy

Addressing anxiety, guilt, relationship dynamics, or past experiences that may be creating psychological barriers to ejaculation.

Couples Involvement

When appropriate, involving the partner in therapy improves communication, reduces frustration, and accelerates progress.
