Causes and Symptoms
Causes of PE
Premature ejaculation can be caused by several factors. In a majority of cases, it can be caused by mental and physiological triggers. Premature ejaculation is often caused by PC muscles that are weak, strengthening can easily fix the issue. However, research indicates that often, the trigger is a combination of the non-physical and physical factors (in particular stress), most often weak muscles are the cause (in about 73% of the cases).
Symptoms of Premature Ejaculation
Many have tried to define what qualifies as premature ejaculation and what doesn’t. There are two guidelines that are well known:
- Master and Johnson define it as a man suffers PE if his wife orgasms before he ejaculates more than 50% of the time.
- Researchers have said that a male suffers from PE if he orgasms before two minutes after penetration. A survey done by Alfred Kinsey in the 1950s showed that as much as 70% of men do not last 2 minutes.
Today the idea of PE is more subjective and depends almost entirely on each individual’s own perceptions of the satisfaction he can bring his wife.
