Suffering from quick release of sperm while masturbation or having sex with your partner and wondering why you have acquired this condition? Quick release of sperms or semen is called Premature Ejaculation. Premature Ejaculation is defined as the inability to stop ejaculation (unless it’s too late) or ejaculating in less than a minute during sexual intercourse. Occasional premature ejaculation issue is very common and there is nothing to worry about this condition. But, if the quick release of sperm keeps happening every time you masturbate or have sex, then you need to get the problem fixed. In order to treat premature ejaculation problem, you and your doctor should understand what causes the quick release of sperm.
Types of premature ejaculation
There are two types of premature ejaculation. Lifelong (primary) and acquired (secondary) premature ejaculation.
Lifelong premature ejaculation is considered to be the case if you have been ejaculating in less than a minute after sexual intercourse of even before actual penetration and if this has been happening ever since you started masturbating.
Acquired premature ejaculation is considered if you never had quick ejaculation problem before but started seeing the issue recently or been facing it continuously for the past several times.
As said, occasionally ejaculating too soon isn’t an issue at all. This can happen when you have a longer gap from previous ejaculation or when you are too excited with your partner.
Causes of premature ejaculation
The causes of premature ejaculation are classified into two categories:
1. Psychological causes

Stress, anxiety and depression
Thinking too much about premature ejaculation issue and ‘what if’ you are not able to make your partner happy with your performance. (Performance anxiety)
Feeling of guilt (in fact any negative feeling that arises in your brain for any reason during sex can cause erection problems or premature ejaculation).
