I’m not sure if guys should be encouraged or distressed by this week’s news that premature ejaculation is most likely in the genes . On one hand, if the condition is biological than drug companies will be clamoring to “cure” it, and we know that when it comes (no pun intended) to solving to penis problems, Big Pharma has a high rate of success. On the other, advice on how to deal with premature ejaculation has long reflected the belief that relaxation and practice help a man surmount the problem, which was previously assumed to be psychological. Have PE-afflicted men been doing all that deep breathing and pre-sex jerking off for nothing?
Either way, the most amusing aspect of this article is the female partners’ use of a stopwatch to calculate the length of intercourse. What man wouldn’t have performance issues in that circumstance?

The idea of it being either biological versus psychological is a false dichotomy. The links between psychology and biology are pretty well-established, but we still like to draw battle-lines, because it’s easier to digest. For any sort of issue from PE to mental illness to physical injury, a combination of all methods of treatment seems to be the best option. Lots of people like to say that chemistry doesn’t work. Lots of people like to say that chemistry is the only thing that works. They are both right and they are both wrong.
