But actually, how many minutes of sex is enough or how many minutes are too less?

You will be shocked to know that doctors in most cases have to struggle hard to explain to men that they aren’t ejaculating early.

Real-life vs Movies

In porn films, the length of an erected penis is 20 cm – 40 cm and the intercourse lasts for 30 to 60 minutes on average.

But that’s only in the movies as the last scene may be shot first so that the man can ejaculate without worrying.

After the last shot, the rest sequence goes on and the man does not need to worry about ejaculating.

Moreover, the movies are shot for hours to days and obviously, the editing goes without saying. Plus, most porn stars take medicines. So, it is never a valid comparison.

Millennials are trying hard to increase the duration of their intercourse but do they really need to?

Are you ejaculating too early? To know the answers what we need to know first is how soon it is to ejaculate early.

Average ejaculation time according to study

The average ejaculation time is solely dependent on an individual. According to Sexual Health Centre, premature ejaculation is when you last for less than a minute.

Sometimes the pressure to last longer makes you come early during the session. And even watching porn at an early age teaches you to ejaculate early.

When to see a doctor

There are ways by which you can cure PE without taking oral drugs. Some methods can be tweaking your diet, limiting the number of times you masturbate and not be anxious about your performance.

Trying this all would be a good idea before you go to the doctor. Sex is mental and so your thoughts can impact your performance directly if you are stressed.

The explanation for this was that during ejaculation, the body is able to get rid of toxins and any other unwanted substances that may contribute to one developing prostate cancer.

In as much as these 21 ejaculations may offer protection from prostate cancer, it is also not advisable to indulge in sexual promiscuity lest one contracts a sexually transmitted disease.

There is no known cause of prostate cancer. However, research is still ongoing to pinpoint a particular cause.

In the course of the discussion, other important utterances were also made with regard to risk factors of prostate cancer. This includes old age ( 65 years and above) and eating food that contains low levels of Vitamin D. Low levels of Vitamin D has been linked to aggressive prostate cancer.

Furthermore, being African American or belonging to the black race also poses a risk of prostate cancer because of the low levels of Vitamin D in these individuals. 1 in 4 black males are prone to developing prostate cancer.

Also, if there is a family history of breast cancer, one is more likely to develop prostate cancer due to the fact that the genes involved in causing these two diseases are similar.

It is normal for the prostate to enlarge above the age of 45. Enlargement  of the prostate may cause obstruction of urine. Symptoms of urinary obstruction include frequency and urgency of urination. However, frequency and urgency of urination is not specific to prostate cancer but may be an indication of bladder problems as well.

The Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test is used to assess the function of the prostate. PSA is a substance produced by the prostate gland; high levels may indicate an overactive gland. This may or may not be an indication of prostate cancer.  The PSA test has been abolished in some countries but it is still used in Ghana (due to the fact that it can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment).

The prostate gland is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum. A digital rectal examination can be used to assess whether there is prostate gland enlargement or not.This can be done in a hospital by a qualified health professional passing his or her finger through the rectum. If the gland is enlarged, it would be felt by the finger.

Hibiscus (Sobolo) is known to help in improving prostate health. So cheers to the lovers of ‘Sobolo’.

It is important to visit the doctor at least once in a year to assess the function of the prostate gland.
