When men think about sexual woes, they usually put erectile dysfunction at the top of the list. That's understandable, since an estimated 30 million American men suffer from the inability to attain and maintain erections that are rigid enough for intercourse. Women, too, focus on their partner's erection as the key to sexual satisfaction. But there is more to a good sex life than an erection. In fact, success begins with sexual desire or libido and ends with ejaculation and orgasm. Doctors have made great progress in treating erectile dysfunction.
Everything You Should Know About Premature Ejaculation
Delayed ejaculation - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic
Delayed ejaculation — sometimes called impaired ejaculation — is a condition in which it takes an extended period of sexual stimulation for men to reach sexual climax and release semen from the penis ejaculate. Some men with delayed ejaculation are unable to ejaculate at all. Delayed ejaculation can be temporary or a lifelong problem. Possible causes of delayed ejaculation include certain chronic health conditions, surgeries and medications. Treatment for delayed ejaculation depends on the underlying cause. It's normal for men to have delayed ejaculation from time to time.
It usually happens before, or within about one minute of, vaginal penetration. But just thinking about something sexually stimulating can trigger ejaculation and sometimes it happens before any direct stimulation of the penis occurs. How common is it?
Ejaculation is the release of semen from the penis during an orgasm. PE is common. About one in three men between the ages of 18 and 59 experiences PE at some point. PE is considered a type of sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction refers to any of several types of problems that keep a couple from fully enjoying sexual activity.
