Etymology
The term "delayed ejaculation" is derived from the Latin words "de" meaning "down" and "lacere" meaning "to lure", and the Greek word "ejaculatio" meaning "to throw out".
Definition
Delayed ejaculation is characterized by a man's inability or persistent difficulty in achieving orgasm and ejaculating semen, despite sexual stimulation and the desire to achieve orgasm. This condition can occur in all sexual situations, including masturbation.
Causes
Delayed ejaculation can be caused by a variety of factors, including psychological issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as physical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and neurological disorders. Certain medications, such as antidepressants, can also cause delayed ejaculation.
Treatment
Treatment for delayed ejaculation depends on the underlying cause. It may involve psychological counseling, medication changes, or treating any underlying medical conditions. In some cases, sex therapy or behavioral therapy may be recommended.
