What Is Delayed Ejaculation?
While premature ejaculation gets most attention, some men face the opposite: taking an unusually long time to reach climax, or being unable to ejaculate at
all (anejaculation) despite normal desire and erection.
It can frustrate both partners and affect fertility.
Common Causes
Physical: diabetes-related nerve damage, certain medications (especially some antidepressants), hormonal issues, prostate surgery, alcohol Psychological: anxiety, guilt, fear of pregnancy, relationship issues
Behavioural: habituation to a specific masturbation
style or grip that intercourse cannot replicate — an increasingly recognized cause in younger men
How It Is Treated
At Care and Cure Sexologist, Hyderabad, treatment starts by identifying the cause:
- Medication review – adjusting drugs known to delay ejaculation (with your treating doctor)
2. Managing diabetes or hormone issues
- Behavioural retraining – gradually reconditioning arousal patterns
- Counselling – individually or with your partner
Where fertility is the concern, additional medical options exist even when ejaculation cannot be restored quickly.
FAQs
Q: How long is “too long”?

evaluation.
Q: Can pornography habits cause this?
Yes — conditioning to specific stimulation patterns is a common and reversible cause in young men.
Q: Is it curable?
Most cases improve significantly once the specific cause is identified and treated.
