When a man is suffering from premature ejaculation, he may feel embarrassed about it, despite the fact that this is quite a common penis health problem. Nevertheless, many men with premature ejaculation feel too embarrassed to talk about it with a doctor and so they turn to that ubiquitous source, the internet, for information that might be of use. But is the information online about premature ejaculation accurate and useful? A new study helps to answer that question.

The study

The internet has a reputation for giving out both good and bad information. When dealing with a health issue, such as premature ejaculation, it’s crucial that the information one receives is accurate. Recently, two researchers reviewed the content listed on a popular video platform as being about premature ejaculation in order to determine if the information presented was accurate or not.

They started by searching for any videos that came up under searches for “cure premature ejaculation,” “end premature ejaculation,” “stop premature ejaculation” or “premature ejaculation treatment.” The search returned 800 options, but 389 were eliminated because they were duplicates. Of the remaining, a further 49 were not relevant, 284 were not in English, and 51 did not include audio, leaving 132 relevant videos.

The scientists studied these 132 videos and deemed them either reliable or unreliable. Those that were reliable contained scientifically correct information; unreliable videos contained scientifically unproven information. (If a video contained both reliable and unreliable information, it was classified as unreliable.)

And the results?

Perhaps surprisingly, the majority (70%) of videos about premature ejaculation which were viewed were consider reliable. Conversely, 30% were included in the unreliable category.

Not surprisingly, when the scientists studied the origins of the videos, they found that the reliable videos tended to come from such sources as universities, professional organizations and non-profit medical organizations. And unreliable videos were more often from a for-profit commercial company or from an advertisement for a medical product or service.

Be cautious

Men who seek information about treating premature ejaculation from this popular online video platform need to take the time to determine just who it is they are getting information from so that they can determine whether the information is likely to be accurate and true. Sometimes the information in an unreliable video may not only be inaccurate but potentially dangerous. For example, if a video suggests some DIY, homemade premature ejaculation treatments, they may suggest using products which have ingredients that may be harmful to penis skin. Many non-prescription treatments are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration and so may not even list all of the ingredients included in the product, leaving the patient with a considerable lack of information.

Although it may cause embarrassment to some men, it is strongly advised that they speak to their physicians if they are experiencing issues involving premature ejaculation rather than rely solely on online sources. However, if they are going to stick to online help, they should take pains to insure that the source of the information is reliable.

Men seek online help for penis health issues other than premature ejaculation, of course. Fortunately, by regularly applying a first class penis health oil (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) . they can help to maintain that valuable penis health. For the best results, they should seek out an oil that contains both a high end emollient (such as shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E). Together, these ingredients help to “lock in” moisture and keep penis skin smooth and healthy looking. The bets oil will also contain vitamin C, a key component of collagen, which gives skin its tone and elasticity. Vitamin C also encourages proper blood flow, which is essential for maintaining erectile function.
