Causes

There are many causes of premature ejaculation. In many cases, the cause is a mix of triggers, both physiological and mental. Premature ejaculation is many times triggered by PC muscles that are weak.  On the other hand, research has shown in many cases, the trigger is a combination of the non-physical and physical factors (like stress), more time than not the weak muscles are the cause (as often as 73% of the time).

Premature Ejaculation Symptoms

There are those who have attempted to define what actually qualifies as premature ejaculation and what does not qualify. There are two guidelines that are well known:

  • Master and Johnson define it as a male suffers PE if his wife orgasms before he ejaculates more than 50% of the time.
  • Researchers have said that a man suffers from premature ejaculation if he ejaculates in under two minutes of penetration. A survey done by Alfred Kinsey in the 1950s revealed nearly 70% of men do not last 2 minutes.

Currently it seems the idea of PE is subjective and often depends on an individual’s perception of how happy he cam make his wife.
