Contrary to what most people think, erectile dysfunction (the inability to achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse) only accounts for 10% of most male dysfunction cases. Eighty percent of the reported male sexual dysfunction cases are more related to premature ejaculation, a condition where the male loses ejaculatory control and releases sperm even before his partner achieves orgasm.

Considered as a universal problem,Is Premature Ejaculation a Medical Condition? Shocking Fact About Quick Ejaculation Articles and one that plagues men regardless of race and age, premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most common male sexual dysfunctions.  Premature or rapid ejaculation happens when a man ejaculates sperm even before a satisfactory level of sexual experience is reached by him and/or his partner. 

According to the American Urological Association, one out of four Americans will experience premature ejaculation at one point in his life. Although it is often thought that premature ejaculation usually happens to younger men due to anxiety caused by sexual inexperience, the truth is it can happen at any point in a man’s life.

There are two types of premature ejaculation:
       
1.Primary (lifelong) Premature Ejaculation refers to a condition is when a man has had poor sexual ejaculatory control from the time he started being sexually active (usually during puberty).  If left untreated, the condition will remain with him the rest of his life.

2.Secondary (acquired) Premature Ejaculation refers to a condition where a man’s poor ejaculatory control has happened just recently, prior to which he has had previous successful control.  This condition is usually triggered by external factors such as fear of pregnancy, stress over financial matters and performance anxiety with a new partner.


It is important to note though that lack of ejaculatory control is considered a medical condition only if it becomes consistent and disrupts an individual and his partner’s way of life. If, for example, a couple’s unsatisfactory sexual life due to the male’s rapid ejaculation complicates their everyday interactions with each other, or if their desire to get pregnant is hindered because of the male’s lack of control, then there is cause for alarm.  Intermittent episodes of ejaculating before one desires may not necessarily call for medical intervention.   However, if the problem happens repeatedly for about 50% of attempted sexual encounters, then medical diagnosis and treatment may be necessary.
