If you experience Premature Ejaculation, it may reassure you that this is a fairly common problem that many men experience but may not talk about. For most men, this is something that may happen occasionally but for others it may happen most of the time. For some people, premature ejaculation can negatively affect confidence and mood.
It is suggested that if you ejaculate within two minutes of penetrative sex consistently then it is classed as premature ejaculation. However, in reality as all experiences of sex are different and subjective, there is not a set threshold for what is the ‘correct’ amount of time a man should last before he ejaculates. If you are satisfied with your sex life then there is no need for medical treatment.
On the other hand, if you feel you have no control over ejaculation or you are climaxing too quickly most of the time during sexual intercourse then you may wish to consider medication to treat premature ejaculation.
Unfortunately, we don’t fully understand the exact cause of premature ejaculation. Our current understanding is that premature ejaculation is caused by a mix of physical and psychological factors. There is also some evidence to suggest that early sexual experiences may also contribute to sexual dysfunction in adulthood.
Currently, our understanding of premature ejaculation suggests that the causes are multifactorial (i.e physical and psychological).

This depends on what the premature ejaculation is attributed to. If it is primarily linked to another condition such as a hormonal imbalance then the first step should be to treat that condition before starting medication for premature ejaculation.
If there are strong psychological factors contributing to premature ejaculation, you may wish to consult a psychologist or psychotherapist to help you work through your attitudes, thought patterns, or past experiences with sex. This has shown positive outcomes for some people. The evidence base for the effectiveness of psychological treatment for premature ejaculation is mixed; more often, therapy is combined with medication.
Medication can exist as pills, creams, or sprays; some require prescriptions but there is also an over the counter premature ejaculation pill. However, as with many medications there are some side effects such as dizziness so it is best to consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting medical treatment.
There are many treatment options from talking therapy to meds for premature ejaculation.
We have provided a brief outline of treatment options in the table below:
Treatment option | Function |
Talking therapies: Psychotherapy or psychological treatment | This may consist of some sessions with a therapist to explore psychological factors contributing to the sexual dysfunction such as past sexual experiences, anxiety, or relationship issues.
It may help you gain a better understanding of yourself and how to communicate your sexual needs and worries. |
Dapoxetine (Priligy) | This is a type of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI). It increases your brain’s serotonin levels to delay ejaculation.
You take this around one to three hours before sex and it works very quickly. |
Anaesthetic creams or sprays (e.g EMLA cream) | You can also opt for an anaesthetic cream or spray to apply to the penis. These treat premature ejaculation by making your penis less sensitive to delay ejaculation. They usually contain medication called prilocaine or lidocaine.
You apply this to your penis around 20 minutes before sex and wash it off when your penis feels numb. |
Other Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors | Sometimes, antidepressant SSRIs (e.g sertraline or citalopram) are used to treat premature ejaculation.
You take these daily for a few weeks. |
The different premature ejaculation meds are associated with different side effects. Though they are often not common, it is important to be aware of them and seek medical attention if they get worse or start to impact your quality of life. We have summarised side effects for key treatment options below:
Treatment | Possible side effects |
Anaesthetic creams (EMLA) | Skin reactions such as:
|
Dapoxetine (Priligy) |
|
SSRIs |

Premature ejaculation occurs when a man ejaculates earlier than desired during sexual intercourse. There isn’t a set timeframe that defines it, Instead, it depends on what a man and his partner view as satisfactory.
The time it takes for men to ejaculate and the number of men concerned about premature ejaculation differ significantly. For example, a man who ejaculates in 2 minutes might not see it as an issue, while another who takes 5 minutes might find it problematic. Consequently, doctors typically focus on the emotional and psychological impacts on the man, rather than solely on the physical duration
A premature Ejaculation spray like STUD 100 is a spray designed to help men last longer during sexual activity by reducing sensitivity. Its main component, Lidocaine, is a local anaesthetic that temporarily numbs the skin, specifically on the penis. By decreasing touch sensitivity, it can delay ejaculation, offering a solution for men who struggle with premature or rapid ejaculation.
Yes, you can find Priligy available on our Men’s Health page, along with a variety of other products aimed at supporting men’s wellness. Whether you’re looking for supplements, treatments for specific conditions, or general health products, we offer a wide range of options designed to promote well-being and address common men’s health concerns.
While Viagra and Priligy are both safe and effective medications, they should not be used simultaneously. Each of these drugs has the potential to lower blood pressure, and when taken together, the combined effect could result in an excessive drop, leading to side effects like dizziness, light-headedness, or even fainting. Therefore, it is important to use them separately and follow medical guidance to avoid these risks.
