Scientists Discover: Men With These Traits Can Last Longer in Bed

Men who exhibit less impulsivity may have a greater ability to prolong sexual intercourse, according to new research from Turkish scientists.

The study indicates that traits such as good planning, patience, and a calm approach to situations are associated with a reduced likelihood of experiencing premature ejaculation. Conversely, men who tend to act impulsively often demonstrate less endurance in intimate moments.

The research involved 80 men aged 18 to 45, divided into four groups based on their sexual and psychological health, and the timing of their ejaculation. Men who experienced the shortest time to ejaculation scored highest on impulsivity scales, particularly in categories related to urgency and impulsive action. They also showed a tendency toward sensation-seeking behavior and less commitment to tasks.

Scientists concluded there might be a link between low self-control and premature ejaculation. Men struggling with impulse regulation may react without forethought and be less capable of delaying sexual gratification. Conditions like anxiety and depression were also found to be more prevalent among men with this issue.

While mood disorders linked to erectile dysfunction are often treated with antidepressants, researchers suggest that therapies enhancing self-regulation, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, could help men improve their endurance during intercourse. The study also noted that psychological and emotional factors play a role, alongside physical techniques like Kegel exercises, which have been shown to potentially extend the duration of sexual activity.
