In most cases, ejaculation problems are of psychological origin and are not related to any physical deficiency. A man can be ‘sexually inappropriate’ with one partner, while behaving quite normally with the other. The two main problems that describe ejaculation problems come from opposite sides of the spectrum: premature ejaculation and the complete inability to ejaculate.

Premature ejaculation is a very common phenomenon, especially in inexperienced young men. As a rule, it is a sign of performance anxiety. It takes place at the beginning of intercourse or shortly after. In extreme cases, it can even occur before any physical contact is made.

The inability to ejaculate is not as common as premature ejaculation caused by anxiety. It can be caused by excessive use of alcohol or drugs, other excesses, or simply insufficient stimulation of the penis. It is sometimes seen in older people, due to loss of feeling in the penis.

To combat ejaculation problems, a person needs to maintain a stress-free and relaxing regimen, while supplementing his diet with more relaxing and calming foods and herbs.

Recent studies have linked some cases of premature ejaculation to magnesium deficiency, which appears to be fairly common in the US An adult male needs to take 400 mg of magnesium per day.
