However it is important to break this silence and recognize that premature ejaculation deserves attention and support. Men should gain a better understanding of the condition so they can learn about the various strategies for managing it.

Premature Ejaculation is a common sexual dysfunction marked by an inability to delay ejaculation during sexual intercourse, resulting in an orgasm that occurs sooner than desired by either partner. The exact cause is not fully understood but it is believed to involve psychological and biological factors. Psychological factors like anxiety, stress or past sexual experiences and biological factors like hormonal imbalances can contribute to Premature Ejaculation.
