Abstract
Early ejaculation during sex affects sexual need of both the partner. Thereby we discuss a very common sexual disorder called early ejaculation in this article.
The definition or explanation about premature ejaculation is a little bit complex. In simple term, it is a condition in which one sexual partner achieves orgasm earlier than the other. There is no standard time period to define premature ejaculation.
For example, a male may climax in 10 minutes but the female usually climaxes around five to six minutes approximately. If both are satisfied then it is not considered as premature ejaculation. If the male prolongs ejaculation up to 15 to 20 minutes but the female usually requires 30-35 minutes including foreplay for orgasm then in this case male can be considered for premature ejaculation. This may be premature or normal for the male. As such arbitrary definition exists in this matter.
