Premature ejaculation is the recurrent or persistent ejaculation experienced by a man even with minimal sexual stimulation in either of three instances, namely, before, during or shortly after vaginal or anal penetration.
While there is not a single cause for premature ejaculation – each man will likely have a combination of several factors – unhealthy lifestyle habits are the common culprits.
Healthcare experts agree, nonetheless, that these factors are interrelated. As such, addressing each of these causes from medication to lifestyle habits is the key to the effective treatment of premature ejaculation.
For example, you should limit your consumption of alcoholic beverages so that you can enjoy a more restful sleep every night. Overconsumption of alcohol and insufficient sleep are two common lifestyle culprits of premature ejaculation.
#1 Abuse Of Alcoholic Beverages and Drugs
While substances like alcoholic beverages (e.g., beer, wine, and vodka) and drugs may decrease personal inhibitions and increase sexual pleasure, their effects are temporary particularly in minimum to moderate quantities.
When these substances are consumed in large quantities or in prolonged periods, the negative effects become evident.
Abuse of these substances will increase the risks not just for premature ejaculation but also for erectile dysfunction including the inability to achieve orgasm.
Other negative effects include reduced sexual desire, increased sexual aggression, and even infertility.
Tip: Limit the consumption of alcoholic beverages and avoid the consumption of illicit drugs to improve sexual health including the prevention of premature ejaculation. Ask your doctor about the possibility that your prescription medications are also interfering with your good sexual health.
#2 Lack Of Sleep
Sleep is an important aspect of maintaining good physical and mental health partly because it stimulates the production of serotonin, a chemical necessary for several bodily functions.
Basically, the lower the levels of serotonin, the higher the chances for premature ejaculation.
- Recover from sexual activity
Sleep allows the body to rest, thus, allowing it to be reenergized for subsequent sexual activity. - Create chemicals including serotonin necessary for good sexual health
Many of the chemicals necessary for ejaculation control are either produced or enhanced only during deep sleep. - Enhance sensations
Serotonin both transmits and receives sensory messages including pleasure and pain. With low serotonin levels partly due to insufficient sleep, the pleasurable sensations during sex are affected and, hence, the chance for premature ejaculation can increase. - Improve mood
Serotonin is known as the happy hormone because it stimulates feelings of well-being when in sufficient quantities. With low serotonin levels, feelings of aggression, irritability and anxiety will increase that will adversely affect sexual drive and performance.
The importance of getting sufficient hours of sleep cannot be overemphasized. Healthcare experts recommend 7-9 hours of restful sleep each night.
#3 Speedy Masturbation Habits
Most men use speedy masturbation techniques to achieve orgasm in as little time as possible; the common reasons include the fear of being caught and the desire to release physical tension fast.
This approach increases the chances for premature ejaculation during sex since the speedy masturbation techniques have become a learned behavior, which should be unlearned.
Tip: Avoid racing through your masturbation session. Focus on enjoying the pleasurable sensations instead so that you can prevent premature ejaculation. Stimulate both your penis and glans.
#4 Stress, Anxiety and Depression
Many sexual health issues including performance anxiety, premature ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction can be partly attributed to psychological factors.
These include stress, anxiety, and depression, which can also be linked to the use of recreational drugs, heavy consumption of alcohol, and insufficient sleep.
These can also be the result of personal and professional issues, such as problems at work and issues with familial relationships.
To add to the problem, premature ejaculation can also be worsened by the frustrations about the issue. For example, your anxiety about your premature ejaculation feeds on the problem and the cycle starts.
Tip: Address your stress, anxiety, or depression with a qualified healthcare expert, such as your doctor or therapist.

Hi Darrio !
I have several questions.
Does binge drinking have a permanent effect regarding premature ejaculation ?
I am 28, and I have used to do it for something like 14 years, like 7-8 times a month. Besides the drinking, I dont smoke and I am insanely active, going to the gym and sauna every day, I run 5 times a week. I get a lot of sleep, but I eat mainly processed food.
The last 6 months I have been under a lot of stress, but not anymore. I also did not get any sex in the last 6 months.
I got a new girlfriend now, and I have noticed issues, while I used to last about one hour in bed, now I last under 5 minutes. I have quit drinking 2 weeks ago. Needless to say, the premature ejaculation stresses me out a lot.
Are there any other ways, or products that can help me get rid of premature ejaculation ?
Can VigRX Plus help me ?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi Gabriel,
Thank you very much for your comment and sharing your story.
Yes, drinking will delay your ejaculation for some time, however it’s not a good option and it’s not beneficial for your health for sure.
I think the main reason why you are having such issues is because you haven’t had any sex for a long period of time (and you have a new girlfriend :))
Give it some time and i’m sure things should get to normal over time. If you would like to have more control over your ejaculation, try 3 exercises – jelquing, stretching and kegels. You can find more about such exercises on this blog.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Dario
p.s. Vigrx Plus is a size increase product and it won’t help
p.s.s. Yes, there are a few products out there that will have instant result (this one for example). However results will disappear almost instantly as well
