Premature ejaculation (PE) is uncontrolled Ejaculation, either before or shortly after sexual penetration, with minimal sexual stimulation and before it is desired. PE may result in an unsatisfactory sexual experience for both partners. This can increase anxiety, which in turn can contribute to the problem. Premature ejaculation is one of the most common forms of male sexual dysfunction, and has probably affected every man at some point in his life. ¹

In common terms, PE is defined as:

• The inability of a man to control his ejaculation.
• Ejaculating before he is ready to or has satisfied his partner.
• Ejaculating before, on or shortly after penetration.
• Ejaculating before the person wishes it

HOW COMMON IS PE?
Premature ejaculation is very common. Recent studies show that up to 1 in 3 sexually active men are affected by this problem²
