Premature ejaculation (also called rapid ejaculation/early ejaculation) is the most common of all sexual function disorders. It affects one out of three men. And even though it is incredibly common, there is not much discussion about it, there is a lot of shame surrounding it, and an enormous level of misunderstanding.
Let’s start with definitions. What is rapid ejaculation? The current medical definition is if the man ejaculates earlier than he would like, and this causes distress to him or his partner – that is rapid ejaculation. That seems like a pretty good definition. It leaves the definition firmly with the people involved in the ejaculation. If the man or his partner say it is a problem, then it is a problem.
The difference between the two definitions is important. The first one is focusing on how long a man is lasting before he ejaculates. The second definition is focusing on the man’s experience during sex. We are more concerned about the sexual experience and the feelings attached to it.
As you may have noticed, both definitions are highly subjective. There is no defined span of time which intercourse must last. The average intercourse in America lasts 3-5 minutes. But average does not mean normal – and less (or more) than average does not mean abnormal!
Most men’s idea of how long intercourse should last is usually based on porn! Porn is fake. Porn is not real sex. There is nothing normal about porn. Porn is a production company’s idea of how it can make money by filming sex scenes between actors. The length of intercourse we see in porn is not based on real life!
