5 Reasons Why Premature Ejaculation Is Rising Among Young Men
Premature ejaculation (PE) is increasingly affecting men under 35 globally, and Singapore is no exception. From lifestyle shifts to psychological pressures, here are five key factors driving this trend—and how to address them.
早泄在35岁以下男性中愈发常见，新加坡也不例外。从生活方式转变到心理压力，以下是五大关键原因及应对建议。
1. Pornography Overconsumption & Unrealistic Expectations 色情内容过度消费与不切实际的期望
Young men exposed to frequent pornographic content may develop performance anxiety or conditioned reflexes to ejaculate quickly. Studies show porn-induced arousal patterns can shorten ejaculation latency.
频繁接触色情内容的男性易产生表现焦虑或快速射精的条件反射。研究显示，色情内容引发的兴奋模式可能缩短射精时间。
Singapore context: A 2022 survey by NUS found that 68% of local men aged 18-30 watch porn weekly, correlating with higher PE self-reports.
本地数据：新加坡国立大学2022年调研显示，68%的18-30岁男性每周观看色情内容，其中自述早泄比例更高。
2. Chronic Sleep Deprivation 长期睡眠不足
Poor sleep disrupts testosterone production and impairs nerve signaling, both critical for sexual control. Singapore’s fast-paced work culture exacerbates this issue.
睡眠不足会降低睾酮水平并损害神经信号传导，二者均影响射精控制。新加坡快节奏的工作环境加剧了这一现象。
Solution: Aim for 7-8 hours nightly. Avoid screens 1 hour before bed to improve sleep quality.
建议：保证每日7-8小时睡眠，睡前1小时远离电子设备。
3. Excessive Masturbation Habits 过度自慰习惯
Frequent masturbation with a focus on speed (to avoid being caught) trains the body to climax rapidly. This “habitual rush” often carries over into partnered sex.
为求快速释放而频繁自慰，可能让身体形成“速战速决”模式，并在性行为中延续这一习惯。
Tip: Practice edging techniques during solo sessions to build control.
改善方法：自慰时尝试“边缘控制法”以提升调控力。
4. Sedentary Lifestyles & Obesity 久坐与肥胖问题
Lack of exercise weakens pelvic floor muscles and reduces blood flow, while obesity raises estrogen levels—both linked to PE. Singapore’s National Steps Challenge promotes activity, yet 40% of adults remain inactive.
缺乏运动削弱盆底肌并影响血流，肥胖则提高雌激素水平，均与早泄相关。新加坡“全国健步大挑战”收效有限，40%成年人运动不足。
Action: Incorporate 30-minute walks or Kegel exercises daily.
行动建议：每日健走30分钟或做凯格尔运动。
5. Mental Health Struggles 心理健康问题
Anxiety and depression—common among youth due to academic/career stress—directly impact sexual performance. Fear of judgment prevents many from seeking help.
学业或职场压力导致的焦虑和抑郁直接影响性表现，但多数人因羞耻感回避就医。
Local support: Singapore’s Institute of Mental Health (IMH) offers subsidized counseling. Telehealth platforms like Doctor Anywhere provide discreet consultations.
本地资源：新加坡心理卫生学院提供补助心理咨询，Doctor Anywhere等平台支持线上隐私问诊。
Conclusion 总结
Understanding these triggers empowers young men to take proactive steps. Combining lifestyle adjustments, open dialogue with partners, and professional guidance can restore confidence and sexual well-being.
认识诱因是改善早泄的第一步。调整生活方式、与伴侣坦诚沟通及寻求专业帮助，能有效恢复信心与性健康。
