Premature ejaculation (PE) also known as rapid ejaculation, rapid climax, premature climax, or early ejaculation affects 25-40 % of men in the US.
A man suffers from premature ejaculation if he ejaculates before his sex partner achieves orgasm in more than fifty percent of their sexual encounters.
Other sex researchers have defined premature ejaculation as occurring if the man ejaculates within two minutes of penetration; however, a survey demonstrated that three quarters of men ejaculate within two minutes of penetration in over half of their sexual encounters.
reported surveys say up to 75% of men ejaculate within 10 minutes of penetration. Today, most sex therapists understand premature ejaculation as occurring when a lack of ejaculatory control interferes with sexual or emotional well-being in one or both partners.
Most men experience premature ejaculation at least once in their lives. Because there is great variability in both how long it takes men to ejaculate and how long both partners want sex to last.
Current evidence supports an average intravaginal ejaculation latency time of six and a half minutes in 18-30 year olds.
On the other hand, a man with 2 minutes of sexual endyrance may have the perception of poor control over his ejaculation, distressed about his condition, has interpersonal difficulties and therefore be diagnosed with premature ejaculation (PE).
