Premature ejaculation is a male medical condition where the male ejaculates the semen or sperms shortly after the beginning of sexual activity, often before penetration or before his partner has reached climax thus accounting for an unsatisfying sexual experience to his partner.

This condition is also known as precocious or rapid ejaculation and is a very common sexual ailment in males of all ages with an higher incidence in males older than 40 years.

The severity of the premature ejaculation disorder (or PE as it is commonly known) does vary from very severe (in males since beginning of their puberty) to mild cases(acquired) and can also vary in its duration from sporadic episodes to a chronic condition that can last the whole adult sexual life.

It has been observed that this condition can lead to males suffering from impotence and or being concerned about being able to maintaining their erection during sexual affair.

Premature ejaculation can be a major cause of depression and distress amongst males and a source of frustration for their sexual partners as their needs are not being satisfied.

Due to the nature of this ailment it is often very difficult or nearly impossible for a woman to fall pregnant as the ejaculation often occurs before the penetration.

Premature ejaculation is a male disorder which can strike the sufferer at any stage of the adult's sexual life.

According to various medical studies it has been found that PE is a disease that affects between 30 and 70 % of all males and it can strike at any stage of their active sexual life.
