Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Whenever I am thinking about sex or masturbating, I easily get a boner and it takes me a while to ejaculate, but when I am actually having sex it takes forever to get a boner. Then I ejaculate immediately. I do not know what it is or how to fix it.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The sexual act is mediated by mind. It has many phases like desire, excitement (erection), ejaculation and resolution. It can get affected due to various reasons like fear or phobia in the brain. If you have conflicts with your partner, if there is some performance stress or any other stress, sometimes conditions occur like you develop a fear associated with certain things. This fear work as an inhibitory factor. I would recommend you to have some therapy sessions in order to find out the cause in your case, after that, an intervention can be started.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
