Premature Ejaculation?

Premature Ejaculation (PE) is ejaculation that occurs in a man and subsequent loss of erection before both partners would like in a sexual encounter. This then leads to worry, stress, or concern and in the extreme, anger and resentment. For some men, premature ejaculation may materialize in all manner of sexual encounters, including masturbation. In other men, PE surfaces only during sexual encounters with a partner or only with certain sexual partners.
