Seminal plasma magnesium and premature ejaculation: A case-control study. Premature ejaculation (PE) is a male sexual dysfunction that occurs when a male expels semen (and most likely experiences orgasm) soon after beginning sexual activity, and with minimal penile stimulation. [1] It has also been called early ejaculation, rapid ejaculation, rapid climax, premature climax and (historically) ejaculatio praecox. There is no uniform cut-off defining "premature", but a consensus of experts at the International Society for Sexual Medicine endorsed a definition of around one minute after penetration. [2] The International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) applies a cut-off of 15 seconds from the beginning of sexual intercourse. Premature ejaculation is treated with behavioral techniques, medications, and rarely surgery. Although men with premature ejaculation describe feeling that they have less control over ejaculating, it is not clear if that is true, and many or most average men also report that they wish they could last longer. In males, typical intravaginal ejaculation latency time is approximately 4–8 minutes. [3] The opposite condition is delayed ejaculation. Men with PE often report emotional and relationship distress, and some avoid pursuing sexual relationships because of PE-related embarrassment. [5] Compared with males, females consider PE less of a problem,[6] but several studies show that the condition also causes female partners distress. The causes of premature ejaculation are unclear. Many theories have been suggested, including that PE was the result of masturbating quickly during adolescence to avoid being caught, performance anxiety, passive-aggressive behavior or having too little sex; but there is little evidence to support any of these theories. Several physiological mechanisms have been hypothesized to contribute to causing premature ejaculation, including serotonin receptors, a genetic predisposition, elevated penile sensitivity and nerve conduction atypicalities. [9] Scientists have long suspected a genetic link to certain forms of premature ejaculation.

Pills may work by desensitizing penile nerves temporarily.
Certain antidepressants are used off-label for PE.
Not all pills are suitable for every age or health condition.
Effectiveness varies among individuals; patience is necessary.
Some formulations combine multiple ingredients for synergy.

However, studies have been inconclusive in isolating the gene responsible for lifelong PE. The nucleus paragigantocellularis of the brain has been identified as having involvement in ejaculatory control. [10] PE may be caused by prostatitis[11] or as a medication side effect. PE has been classified into four subtypes - lifelong, acquired, variable and subjective PE. Acquired PE may occur due to psychological problems - such as sexual performance anxiety, and psychological or relationship problems - and/or co-morbidity, including erectile dysfunction, prostatitis and hyperthyroidism.
