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.
There's no medical standard for how long it should
take a man to ejaculate. The primary sign of premature ejaculation is
ejaculation that occurs before both partners wish in the majority of sexual
encounters, causing distress for one or both partners. The problem can
occur in all sexual situations, including masturbation, or may only occur
during sexual encounters with another person. Doctors often classify premature
ejaculation as either primary or secondary:
* Primary premature ejaculation. You have primary premature ejaculation
if you've experienced the problem for as long as you've been sexually
active.
* Secondary premature ejaculation. You have secondary premature ejaculation
if you developed the condition after having had previous, satisfying sexual
relationships without ejaculatory problems.
