Premature Ejaculation

There are several medical descriptions used, but no one standard has yet evolved. Masters & Johnson noted a man has premature ejaculation is he climaxes before the partner reaches orgasm. Others added, at least half the time. Some studies chose a time less than a minute, two, seven, or 10 minutes, others by the number of thrusts---some say as low as eight others as 15. Drs. Barry McCarthy and Michael Mertz define it as when the man does not have voluntary, conscious control, or the ability to choose in most encounters when to ejaculate.

Breakthrough Book For Couples Suffering Premature Ejaculation

Written by Barry McCarthy, PhD; Michael Mertz, PhD
What is premature ejaculation (PE)? You might expect that this is an easy question to answer, but it depends on whom you ask. Masters and Johnson (1970), the founders of modern sex therapy, stated that a man has PE if he ejaculates before the woman reaches orgasm in 50 percent or more of their sexual encounters. PE is sometimes defined as a problem accomplishing a "normal" length of time between insertion and ejaculation. Studies have even defined PE by a specific amount of intercourse time: less than one minute, two, three, four, five, seven, or 10 minutes, each amount based on a different reason. Still others have proposed to define PE by the number of intravaginal thrusts: eight thrusts, 15 thrusts.

It's not what most would think or guess. Erectile dysfunction (the inability to obtain an erection and sustain it to have penetrating intercourse, many estimate, makes up less than 10 percent of all cases of male dysfunction issues. The answer: Premature Ejaculation (PE). or as Hisandherhealth.com medical director, Dr. Myron Murdock describes it, Heightened Sexual Sensitivity (HSS.) That reportedly accounts for some 80 percent of male sexual dysfunction. There is no specific time for HSS, but penetration is considered a key element and insufficient time (of up to 120 seconds) for both the partners. Here are two abstracts from papers on this topic that were presented at the 2003 American Urological Association annual meeting.
