Causes and Symptoms
Causes of Premature ejaculation
Premature ejaculation has many causes. A lot of times, it can be caused by a plethora of physiological and mental triggers. Premature ejaculation might simply be caused by weakened PC muscles, which strengthening can easily remedy the issue. In contrast, there is research that indicates in many cases, the trigger is a combination of the physical and non-physical factors (for example stress), more time than not the weak muscles are the cause (in as much as 73% of the cases).
PE Symptoms
Many have tried to define what qualifies as premature ejaculation and what does not. Currently there are two guidelines:
- Master and Johnson define it as a man suffers from PE if he ejaculates before his spouse orgasms more than half the time.
- Researchers have said that a man suffered from PE if he ejaculates in under two minutes of penetration. Alfred Kinsey took a survey in the 19050s that showed that nearly 70% of men could not last even 2 minutes.
The current idea of PE is more subjective and it is more dependent on the individual’s perspective of how satisfactory he is to his wife.
