00:00Does taking a long time to ejaculate mean you have a health problem?
00:03Not necessarily.
00:04Taking longer than usual on one occasion does not mean you have a sexual dysfunction.
00:08The response may vary due to factors such as tiredness, stress, distractions,
00:13alcohol consumption or changes in stimulation.
00:16The difference lies in the fact that the difficulty is recurring and difficult to manage.
00:21and affects well-being or sexual satisfaction.
00:23There is no exact number of minutes that allows for diagnosis.
00:27According to Dr. Paulo André Rodríguez Camargo, director of the master's program in sexual and reproductive health at El University
00:33Forest,
00:34Some clinical references mention times greater than 25 or 30 minutes as a guideline.
00:40However, that fact should not become a rule.
00:43Exceeding that time does not automatically mean you have a problem.
00:46And a person may need care even if they don't reach that threshold.
00:50The important thing is to determine if there is a marked delay or if the person is unable to ejaculate.
00:55despite receiving sufficient sexual stimulation and wanting to do it.
00:59How do you know if it's a problem?
01:00According to the specialist, to determine if this difficulty exists,
01:04Factors such as the frequency with which it occurs are evaluated,
01:06from when does it happen and when does it affect the person's well-being?
01:10The specialists also check if the difficulty appears in all encounters
01:14or only in certain situations.
01:16For example, a person can ejaculate during masturbation,
01:19but have difficulties during sexual relations with a partner.
01:22The causes can be physical or emotional.
01:25or be related to medications and substance use.
01:28That's why a medical evaluation is important to identify what's happening.
01:33Can a man take a long time to ejaculate without it meaning
01:36who has a health problem?
01:38Yes, there are wide variations in sexual response times.
01:42A man may need more stimulation to enjoy a satisfying sex life
01:46without this representing a disorder.
01:48If that has been their usual response, it doesn't bother them and the meetings are comfortable.
01:53and agreed upon, prolonged time alone does not constitute a diagnosis.
01:57However, if a clear change appears compared to its previous operation,
02:01It's worth checking what might be happening.
02:03Can delayed ejaculation occur throughout a person's sexual life?
02:07Or does it appear after a period without difficulties?
02:10It can happen either way.
02:12It is called primary or lifelong when it is present
02:15from the first sexual experiences and secondary or acquired
02:19when it appears after a period in which the person ejaculated without difficulty.
02:23It can also be generalized, when it occurs in different contexts
02:27and forms of stimulation.
02:28Or situational, when it appears only under certain circumstances.
02:33This does not in itself demonstrate a lack of attraction towards the partner
02:36nor does it allow us to conclude that the cause is exclusively psychological.
02:40When difficulty arises after a period without problems,
02:43It is important to review the possible influence of medications,
02:46illnesses, substance use, and emotional or relational factors.
02:49What is the difference between delayed ejaculation, anejaculation, and delayed orgasm?
02:55Orgasm is the experience of sexual climax,
02:57while ejaculation corresponds to the processes that allow the emission
03:01and expulsion of semen.
03:03In delayed ejaculation there is a marked delay
03:05or a persistent difficulty ejaculating.
03:07Anejaculation refers to the absence of ejaculation.
03:11and it can occur with or without a sensation of orgasm.
03:14Delayed orgasm, on the other hand, describes the difficulty in reaching climax.
03:18or the need for prolonged stimulation to achieve it.
03:21If orgasm is not achieved, we speak of anorgasmia.
03:25According to the specialist, it is important to clarify,
03:28that not observing semen is not enough to diagnose anejaculation.
03:31For example, retrograde ejaculation may occur,
03:34in which the semen is directed towards the bladder
03:36or absence of semen after certain surgeries.
03:39Therefore, the assessment investigates each aspect separately.
03:42whether there was a sensation of orgasm and whether there was semen emission.
03:45Is there a treatment?
03:47Yes, the treatment depends on each person.
03:49and the factors that are influencing the difficulty.
03:52Depending on the case, it may include a medication review,
03:55the treatment of associated diseases or sexual therapy.
03:58If the difficulty is repeated, it generates frustration.
04:00or a persistent change in usual sexual response occurs,
04:04It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional.
04:06to identify the possible causes
04:08and evaluate management options.
04:10Remember that sexual health is not measured with a stopwatch.
04:13Satisfaction and comfort also matter.
04:16and the possibility of living the experience
04:18without pressure or discomfort.
