Causes and Symptoms
Causes of Premature ejaculation
Premature ejaculation can be caused by several factors. All too often, the problem is caused by a combination of physiological and mental triggers. Premature ejaculation may be purely caused by weakened PC muscles, strength enhancing exercises can easily fix the issue. In contrast, there is research that indicates in many cases, it is a combination of the non-physical and physical factors (in particular stress), more time than not the weak muscles are the cause (as often as 73% of the time).
Symptoms of PE
There are those who have attempted to figure out what qualifies as premature ejaculation. The two well known guidelines are:
- Master and Johnson suggest that a man suffers from PE if he ejaculates before his spouse orgasms more than 50% of the time.
- Researchers has pointed out that a man suffered from PE if he ejaculates in under 2 minutes after penetration. A survey by Alfred Kinsey in the 1950s showed that as much as 70% of men could not last even 2 minutes.
The current idea of PE is more subjective and seems to depend on the individual‘s idea of how much he can satisfy his wife.
