Premature ejaculation occurs when a man ejaculates sooner during sexual intercourse than he or his partner would like. Premature ejaculation is a common sexual complaint.
Estimates are as many as 1 out of 3 men say they experience this problem at some time. As long as it happens infrequently, it's not cause forconcern.
However, you may meet the diagnostic criteria for premature ejaculation if you:
Always or nearly always ejaculate within one
minute of penetration.Are unable to delay ejaculation during intercourse all or nearly all of the time. Feel distressed and frustrated, and tend to avoid sexual intimacy as a result. Both psychological and biological factors can play a role in premature ejaculation.
Although many men feel embarrassed to talk about it, premature ejaculation is a common and treatable condition. Medications, counseling and sexual techniques that delay ejaculation — or a combination of these— can help improve sex for you and your partner.
The primary symptom of premature ejaculation is the inability to delay ejaculation for more than one minute after penetration. However, the problem may occur in all sexual situations, even during masturbation. The exact cause of premature ejaculation isn't known. While it was once thought to be only psychological, doctors now know premature ejaculation is more complicated and involves a complex interaction of psychological and biological factors. Psychological causes Some doctors believe that early sexual experiences may establish a pattern that can be difficult to change later in life, such as:
Situations in which you may have hurried to reach climax in order to avoid being cought.
Guilty feelings that increase your tendency to rush through sexual encounters.
Other factors that can play a role in causing
premature ejaculation include:
Erectile dysfunction. Men who are anxious about obtaining or maintaining an erection during sexual intercourse may form a pattern of rushing to ejaculate, which can be difficult to change.
Anxiety. Many men with premature ejaculation also have problems with anxiety — either specifically about sexual performance or related to other issues.
Relationship problems. If you have had satisfying sexual relationships with other partners in which premature ejaculation happened infrequently or not at all, it's possible that interpersonal issues between you and your current partner are contributing to the problem.

Biological causes
A number of biological factors may contribute to premature ejaculation, including:
Abnormal hormone levels.
Abnormal levels of brain chemicals called
neurotransmitters. Abnormal reflex activity of the ejaculatory system.
Certain thyroid problems.
Inflammation and infection of the prostate or urethra.
Inherited traits.
Nerve damage from surgery or trauma (rare)
