Definition of Premature Ejaculation

Just What Is Premature Ejaculation, Anyway?


Premature Ejaculation Defined

Would it surprise you to learn that many men who think they have premature ejaculation last just about as long during sex as men who are happy with their lovemaking skills?

The German University at Koln researched this and found that the average time between vaginal insertion and ejaculation for men complaining about their premature ejaculation was 2 minutes and 32 seconds. 

Remember that in the 1950's, Alfred Kinsey discovered that most men ejaculated within two minutes of entering their partner's vagina. Clearly we haven't improved much since!

In men who said they were were happy with their lovemaking skills (and presumably who also had partners who were happy), the average time between vaginal penetration and ejaculation was 3 minutes 1 second. This isn't a big difference, so the inevitable conclusion is that men who think they have a problem with premature ejaculation can actually last just about as long as men who don't think they have a problem. The two groups just see it differently!

These were all married men, so it isn't a matter of sexual  inexperience. But what the study didn't research was how the women involved felt about sex that lasted two or three minutes - maybe the men who complained did so because their wives were dissatisfied.

If so, their dissatisfaction may be because the women believed that they could reach orgasm (come) from vaginal intercourse if it lasted long enough, and felt annoyed that they were being deprived of pleasure. The other group of satisfied men may have had wives who were happy to reach orgasm through clitoral stimulation or masturbation before or after sexual intercourse. 

The point to take away from this is that premature ejaculation is only a problem if the couple in question are unhappy about it all. In other words, premature ejaculation is defined by whether a man and woman are satisfied with his time between penetration and orgasm.

Prevalence of premature ejaculation

Estimates about the prevalence of PE vary considerably. Something like 30% of men between 18 and 59 believe that they reach orgasm too soon. (In his pioneering studies in the 1950's, Alfred Kinsey found that 75% of men ejaculated within 2 minutes of penetration.) Since the definition of premature ejaculation is so subjective, it's hard to get a clear picture of the true frequency of PE, but estimates range from 4% to over 30%. Based on my own work with men with sexual issue sover the last 12 years, I think it's much more like 50 - 75%. So you're not alone.

You might like to know that 20 mg of the antidepressant drug Paxil, taken 1 hour before lovemaking, can delay ejaculation to more than 8 minutes. But even this may not be long enough to bring a woman to orgasm through intercourse. The only way to ensure your female partner reaches the level of stimulation needed to orgasm through intercourse is to train your body to react differently to the intense excitement of having your penis inside her vagina and get in control of your ejaculatory response.
