Premature Ejaculation
Some people think premature ejaculation (PE) is a disease or a problem that cannot be fixed. Others may think certain men are born with better control than others. These ideas are simply not true.

Overview
PE is when a man climaxes and ejaculates (releases semen) sooner than he would like during sex. It is a common sexual issue. In the United States, about 1 in 3 men aged 18 to 59 years old have problems with PE.PE can be primary or acquired, and accrues over time.
Many men feel stressed if they experience PE for any period of time. Men with PE and their partners can feel unhappy or embarrassed about their sexual relations. Treatment is available and these feelings can change.
