Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation is described as an inability to delay ejaculation to a point that is mutually desirable for both partners. It is one of the most common sexual problems among men. The timeframe for what is considered "premature" varies widely as it is subjective and depends largely on individual satisfaction with the duration of intercourse.
