Premature ejaculation is when a man has an orgasm within a few minutes of sexual intercourse. It is ejaculated sooner than your partner would like to. There is no fixed time when a man should ejaculate during sex, but if you ejaculate sooner than one minute, both you and your partner may not feel pleasure or enjoy the sexual activity.

Premature ejaculation is a common sexual complaint. Around 1 out of 3 men experience this problem at some point in their life.

If premature ejaculation happens infrequently, it is not a cause of concern. However, you may be witnessing premature ejaculation, if you:

• Most often ejaculate within one minute of penetration
• Are unable to delay ejaculation during intercourse on most times
• Feel stressed and tend to avoid sexual activities because of not being able to satisfy your partner
