Sexual relationship are often heard of as a phenomenon that affects people with penises, but people with vaginas can also experience it. Some studies have documented that women often or always end up having sex before they feel like it. So why haven’t we heard more about this issue? And what can people who have problems with sexual relations do about it? *Btw: Not all people with vaginas identify as women, and not all people with penises identify as men, but most scientific studies focus on cis men and women.
What exactly is premature ejaculation?
It may sound self-evident that sexual relationship is about more than just premature orgasms. Not only can you not control your orgasms, but physical discomfort and psychological stress often put a stop to sexual intercourse. Because the clitoris becomes very sensitive after orgasm, continuing sex can feel very intense and even painful. Sexual intimacy can occur with little or no genital stimulation. However, it is important to note that, although orgasms can be premature or non-genital, sexual intimacy and non-genital intimacy is not the same thing. Non-genital orgasms are much more common in people with vaginas than in people with penises, so it can be difficult to distinguish between the two. Sexual relationship intimacy is also different from persistent genital arousal disorder, with which it is sometimes mistakenly associated. Persistent genital arousal disorder is a rare condition that occurs in people with vaginas and is characterized by spontaneous, persistent, unwanted, and uncontrollable genital arousal or orgasm without sexual stimulation or desire. Not all orgasms are the same, and anyone may experience sexual contact from time to time. After all, sexual contact should not be defined by the time it takes to reach orgasm, but rather by its continuity and emotional impact. If you experience sexual contact too frequently and it is causing you distress and affecting your sexual satisfaction or relationships, it may be a problem for you.
