Since time immemorial, man has wondered: Is there such a thing as having too much sex? The very concept of “too much sex” would sound like a good problem to have to most men, but there are plenty of men who experience this very problem. Whether it’s due to a partner with a higher sex drive, or a tendency to perpetually look for new sexual partners, there are men having more sex than they actually feel comfortable having. And, odd as it might sound, this issue of “too much of a good thing” could actually lead to premature ejaculation.

How the brain interprets sex ultimately depends on how a man approaches sex. If a man sees sex as a passionate act of lovemaking and stimulation that should take several hours, the brain can assist the body in lasting longer in bed. But if a man approaches sex as a means to an end for achieving an orgasm, as is often the case for men having “too much sex,” this can cause the brain to interpret sex as a race for pleasure, making it harder for a man to lat between the sheets.

As the brain and body are conditioned to interpret sex as a means of achieving satisfaction, orgasms will come easier, but lasting long during sex will become difficult.

But that’s not to say that having “too much sex” will put a man on a fast track to developing premature ejaculation. Everyone has different sex drives, so what qualifies as “too much sex” varies from person to person. But if you are finding that your constant sexual conquests are making it difficult for you to last in bed, cut down on the sex, work to recondition your body and brain for lasting pleasure instead of a quick orgasm fix, and you should be able to fix your sex life.
