Who does delayed ejaculation affect?

Delayed ejaculation can affect anyone. It affects some individuals their entire lifetime. For others, it happens once in a while or begins to be a problem as they get older.

Factors that can make delayed ejaculation more likely include:

• Having diabetes, mostly type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, a stroke or spinal cord injury.
• Getting older.
• Having had surgery on your bladder or prostate.
• Taking certain medications, including some drugs that treat depression, psychosis, high blood pressure and pain.
• Mental health or relationship issues.

Delayed ejaculation can happen when you’re masturbating or when you’re having sex with a partner. It could be something that has just started or something that has happened throughout your lifetime. If it only happens in certain situations, like when you’re with someone, delayed ejaculation could have a psychological cause.
