Premature ejaculation? Men, it’s not your fault!

Premature ejaculation ​​is determined by every man’s genes. And before you say  “yes, they said the same about infidelity, that it’s in our DNA”, you should know that this a serious study conducted by great minds at the Utrecht University and then published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

Research participants were Dutch men who suffer from some form of primary premature ejaculation – in other words always had this problem. And there was also a separate group called the control group.

For a month, gentlemen partners used a special clock to calculate minutes – or seconds – until ejaculation for each sexual act. Then doctors had to interpret all these numbers.

The explanation lies in the serotonin

For men suffering from premature ejaculation, serotonin is less active between the nerves in that section of the brain that controls ejaculation. Among other things, this substance is related to sexual activity and appetite.

Serotonin is what transfer signals from one neuron to another. Just because it has a low activity in the area that tells you the signal is not transmitted properly in men with primary form of premature ejaculation (attention, we’re only talking about them, not those who never had this problem since they started their sexual life and found having problems on the way).

So  ladies, you have your answer. Increase the serotonin levels for your partners and they will be able to perform better.

Have any of you had such problems with their spouse, boyfriend, husband, and overcame them?
