Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1212 Joined: 9 Dec 2007    | Semi-psychological, I'd say: The unconscious mind is used to - well - doing things quickly when adrenaline is high, so it approaches sex in the same way, assuming its the same sort of situation. We may not necessarily intend to finish early, but the brain says so. Does this mean people who keep crashing on racing games can't get it up? |

Important part is bolded. Heck, the thread in gaming discussion with a linked article had the number at 200. Really, 181 people? *That's* their survey group? I'm sorry, but a number has to be at least in the quadruple digits before it starts being even noticeable. A very low triple digit number of surveyed people is pathetic. Poor job BBC, poor job.
Wonderful, it's not as if our society was popping enough pills to bloody begin with. |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 452 Joined: 17 Oct 2007    | I believe it, us gamers want nothing more than to blast someone with our boomstick *COUGH* so we kinda rush into it. What I think this study should also point out though is how few hardcore gamers (ones with fastest reflexs) have alot of sexual experiance? |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1678 Joined: 2 Jan 2008     | Based on these results, I could just as easily reach the conclusion that being Dutch causes premature ejaculation. |

Muckraker  Posts: 340 Joined: 1 Nov 2007  | Speed runs for the win. It makes sense though, we strive to beat things faster...oh, wow, totally didn't mean to say that. In all seriousness though, I don't think this study is conclusive at all. Though I would love to twist it around and tell people that brag about their gamerscore that they'll never please a woman in bed, science says so. |

Lol. Yeah, I guess in retrospect that was technically rhetorical... |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1685 Joined: 10 Oct 2008    | I can personally say that does not apply to me and most likely does not apply to millions of mean around the world. I am sick at WipeOut HD at any mode or league. UnReal? Heads shots all around. What ever. I can last an hour or more if I want to. Causation does not mean correlation. End of story.... |

Like you need an actual reason to be called one. As for the article itself, not enough research was done to really prove anything. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 3399 Joined: 6 Sep 2008 |
I think the "as short a time as I choose" part is what makes you a God- because that means you can do it on command. Some pyschics bend spoons... Khell? He soils trousers. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1361 Joined: 7 Feb 2008 | Upon re-reading the OP I just get this horrible image of some quick-shot gunslinger in bed with a lass. And yah, I really don't think this study is remotely true. There are way more other factors that could lead to pre-mature ejaculation. |

Beware Gamers: Fast Reflexes Means Short Sex
Men who have quick reaction speed, like gamers or athletes, may be genetically predisposed to premature ejaculation.
When you're racing in F-Zero, you have to act fast. If you're manning a turret in a first-person shooter, you need to shoot first and not bother asking questions.
Be wary about taking these same skills into the sack. A study of 181 Dutch men found that those who prematurely ejaculated, about one-third of men, were genetically likely to frost their cake before it was done baking. The hormone serotonin controls the male love juices and is not as active in men with sharper reflexes.
The study compared 89 men with a track record of early releasing against 92 men with no such history. Previous theories about trigger-happy men believed the problem to be psychological.
Paula Hall, a sexual psychotherapist for Relate, said, "Premature ejaculation is definitely not purely psychological. But there can be a psychological element. The acid test is how much control they have on their own. If the problem only occurs with their partner then it is more likely to be psychological."
She described the main victims of this quick sex problem: "These men have very quick reflexes. They may be excellent at playing tennis or computer games, for example."
There may be hope yet for gaming guys; the issue is treatable with anti-depressants and other drugs that delay ejaculation.
