Imagine being famished and longing for something to eat at a great restaurant. The food finally comes and you salivate at the sight of the victuals in front of you. You ready your fork and knife and take that first bite into the delicious food. As you are about to take your second bite, you realize that you suddenly have lost your appetite though the food still looks amazingly appealing. You can only sit back and be disappointed; your meal has been prematurely cut short. While this scenario is a bit far fetched, imagine if this happens to you in the bedroom. You are in the middle of intercourse and everything is going perfectly. You are enjoying yourself, sharing in the pleasures of the physical world with your partner. What can go wrong?

What most men don't know is that premature ejaculation is the most common sexual dysfunction that men suffer from. It is hard to define premature ejaculation because it is such an extremely subjective problem. However, the most widely accepted definition of premature ejaculation is the inability to delay ejaculation to the point where it is mutually satisfying for both partners. It is up to the couple to decide when is too early. Some couples are completely satisfied with intercourse lasting only a few minutes while others prefer a session that spans over half an hour. Whatever your preferences are, if you feel unsatisfied with the length that it takes to reach orgasm and would like to prolong it, you are experiencing premature ejaculation.

PE can be a harrowing experience for a man to endure.

Janine, 26, recalls the first time she had sex with one of her boyfriends.

"We got into bed and undressed. Within a few minutes, I can barely remember because it happened so fast, he came. I was a little disappointed but I was more concerned for him. He looked so embarrassed and wouldn't go near me no matter how hard I tried. After that experience he seemed so distant and we eventually broke up."

Kate, 30, recently divorced her husband and began dating again. She remembers her first boyfriend since she left her husband and their sexual experiences.

"My boyfriend and I had sex a few times but we never had sex for longer than 5 minutes. I even watched the clock one time. He would always apologize to me. There was even one time when he ejaculated before we even started having sex. It was a weird experience. We didn't have much sex after a while. He would always be too nervous."

Most men will experience premature ejaculation at least once in their lives but when the problem becomes persistent and detrimental to a relationship, it should be examined and the man should seek treatment.
