Premature ejaculation
- Definitions -
1) What is premature ejaculation ?
Premature ejaculation is one of the most common sexual problems. The condition is most often described as being an inability to delay ejaculation to a point when it is mutually desirable for both partners.
The definition of when ejaculation is premature is subjective. While some men have trouble controlling their orgasm upon entry, others consider 5-10 minutes of copulation too little time. How long a man is able to last is not the important factor in diagnosing premature ejaculation. The crucial issue is if a man is satisfied with the length of coitus.
2) What is premature ejaculation ?
Premature ejaculation is considered the most commonly experienced male sexual dysfunction, affecting tens of millions of American men. But, it is difficult to define!
According to the American Psychiatric Association's "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual", premature ejaculation is "the persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation, or, before, upon, or shortly after penetration and before the person wishes it."
But there are some problems with this definition. What is minimal sexual stimulation? (most men are not premature with stimulation other than intercourse) What does "shortly after" mean? (according to Kinsey data, 75% of men ejaculate with two minutes of intromission). And what if a person "wishes" it to last 3 days but in actuality is able to last "only" 30 minutes?
That said, however, many men are still troubled by their ejaculatory pattern, and this difficultly can have a destructive effect on him, his partner and their relationship!
Single men with this problem often give-up dating due to a history of lost relationships, lack of self-confidence, and trauma and embarrassment associated with premature ejaculation.
3) What is premature ejaculation ?
Ejaculation that occurs prior to when a man wishes, or too quickly during intercourse to satisfy the partner. When most males ejaculate they tend to quickly lose a usable erection for the simple reason that their discharge has temporarily released a state of elevated sexual tension.
