Resources and information for the condition of small penis

Small penis syndrome is affecting a growing number of men from all ages and backgrounds, more than 55% of men are dissatisfied with their penis size, however only 3% have a medically recognised small penis.

Premature ejaculation can be a physical or mental condition, physically, the penis sensitivity is too high and ejaculation is extremely hard to avoid, on the other side is the mental condition where the excitement alone or foreplay can trigger ejaculation.

Both can cause self-image problems, fear, anger, and other emotions and (PE) is a serious problem for many men and couples.

Premature ejaculation has not been proven to collate with penis size, however men with a small penis may already be in an agitated state during foreplay or intercourse and this may cause various problems from inability to maintain an erection to premature ejaculation.

There are various treatments to help with this condition ranging from medication, exercises, devices, and psychoanalyses or couple therapy.

Certain antidepressants and anesthetic creams are used to treat premature ejaculation. There are no peer reviewed clinical trials to find out just how effective they are. And you may need to try different medications before you and your doctor find a treatment that works for you.

A side effect from certain antidepressants is a slightly delayed orgasm. Doctors recommend that men who have premature ejaculation take antidepressants to benefit from this specific side effect, but a consultation with your Doctor is essential. Taking a very small dose before intercourse may help but it may also affect the libido or sexual desire.

Topical anesthetic creams, which contain lidocaine or prilocaine, dull the sensation on the end of the penis to help delay premature ejaculation. Usually applied a short time before intercourse is planned, these creams are removed when the penis has lost enough sensation to help you delay orgasm.

Some men using these anesthetic creams report reduced sexual pleasure because of reduced sensitivity. Although the cream is wiped off before intercourse, in some studies female partners reported that it also reduced their sensitivity. In rare cases they can cause an allergic reaction.

Your doctor might teach you and your partner the use of a method called the squeeze technique. This is an old and tested method:

. Begin foreplay as usual, including stimulation of the penis, until you feel you are almost ready to ejaculate.

. Instruct your partner to squeeze the end of your penis, at the point where the head joins the shaft, and maintain the pressure for several seconds, and the urge to ejaculate passes.

. After the pressure is released, wait for about 30 seconds, and then go back to foreplay or sex. You may notice that squeezing the penis causes it to become less firm, but when sexual stimulation is resumed this effect goes.

. If you feel you're about to ejaculate again, have your partner repeat the process.

Psychotherapy , also known as counseling, involves talking with a mental health care professional about your sexual relationships and past experiences.

These sessions can help you reduce performance anxiety or find effective ways of coping with stress and solving problems. But for many couples affected by premature ejaculation, talking with a therapist together may produce the best results.
