Premature Ejaculation

Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation (PE; also called early ejaculation, rapid ejaculation or ejaculation praecox) is a common male sexual problem where the man is unable to last as long during sexual intercourse as he or his partner would like. While PE directly impacts the man, it can also impact heavily on their partner's sexual life and on the general quality of life of couple18

PE was recently defined by experts as being made up of three main aspects2-4:

• a short time from penetration to ejaculation (or ejaculation before penetration);
• feeling unable to control ejaculation
• unhappiness or difficulties caused by PE.

What causes PE ?
In men with PE, the mechanism of ejaculation is the same as in men without PE, but it happens more quickly and with a lower feeling of control. Men with PE have likened their lack of control over ejaculation to a sneeze - they can feel that it's going to happen but they can't do anything to stop it. This is because, like a sneeze, ejaculation is a reflex action that is controlled by the brain and nervous system, and once triggered it can't be stopped. Ejaculation can be triggered by mental as well as physical sexual stimulation.
