Premature Ejaculation

We can consider premature ejaculation when the patient ejaculates very quickly after vaginal penetration or even before it occurs. The time considered is less than 1-2 minutes.
Premature ejaculation can be a lifelong condition or it can have started recently.
Many patients think they have premature ejaculation, but in fact they just lack knowledge of the normal time that elapses from the moment of penetration to ejaculation (TLEI - intravaginal ejaculatory latency time), which in normal men is 3-6 minutes.
It's interesting to note that there is a reduction in TLEI time as men get older. One study found that men aged 18-30 had an average TLEI time of 6.5 minutes, while those aged 51 had an average TLEI time of 4.3 minutes.
Circumcision or the use of condoms does not alter this time.
The incidence of the disease is 22.5% of the male population. Affected men tend to have a higher sexual frequency than those without the disorder.
