Premature ejaculation: The seven-minute rule

In a four-week study of 1,587 men, researchers report that men who suffer from premature ejaculation (PE) had an average intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) of 1.8 minutes, compared to 7.3 minutes in men who did not. Men with PE and their female partners also had higher ratings for personal distress, interpersonal difficulty with their partner, lack of ejaculation control, and dissatisfaction with sexual intercourse.

This scientific study, appearing in the May issue of The Journal of Sexual Medicine, is the first large epidemiologic study to define patient populations of those with (207) and without (1380) premature ejaculation by measuring average times to ejaculation with stopwatches. This average, or IELT, is defined as the time between the start of vaginal intromission and the start of intravaginal ejaculation.

This study is also one of the first data sets to address the concerns of female partners. Both members of the couples studied were asked to report on a variety of subjective factors. Significant overlap in IELT was observed between the groups who suffered from PE and those without. Thus, the study data suggest IELT may not be sufficient to diagnose PE, and that subjective factors, like lack of control, may also be valid indicators.

"Most people think uni-dimensionally about PE in terms of considering it a disorder of time," states Stanley E. Althof, Ph.D., corresponding author of the study. "This article demonstrates that subjective factors like sense of control, distress, and sexual satisfaction need to be considered when treating this highly prevalent disorder."

PE is the most common male sexual dysfunction affecting men and their partners. However, available data suggest that only 1-12% of males self-reporting receive treatment for their dysfunction. According to The Journal of Sexual Medicine editor Irwin Goldstein, most physicians do not inquire about the existence of premature ejaculation when the patient has other sexual complaints or when the partner has orgasmic dysfunction. As seen in this study, premature ejaculation adversely affects sexual satisfaction, and partner distress is a common motivation for afflicted men to seek treatment.

It also may be interesting

It also may be interesting to somebody.
(source: cureprematureejaculation.net)
Experts from 10 countries, including Australia, the United States, Germany and Egypt, say they have finally defined life-long premature ejaculation.

The definition was developed after lengthy critical evaluation of the evidence presented in more than 100 studies on the sexual problem published over the last 65 years. It was unanimously agreed by the experts that the definition of lifelong premature ejaculation should be a combination of three key factors:

-- Ejaculation that always or nearly always occurs prior to or within about one minute of vaginal penetration.

-- The inability to delay ejaculation on all or nearly all vaginal penetrations.

-- Negative personal consequences such as distress, bother, frustration and/or the avoidance of sexual intimacy.

Forget the drugs!

It really is a psychological thing. If you can't learn to control your body how will you ever gain your self confidence back? and that my friend is the real underlying issue. At least it was for me.

But now I am doing better than ever and my girlfriend thinks so to. If you want an all natural alternative I suggest you check this out.

Premature Ejaculation

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2008-04-07 07:46.

My boyfriend used to come within minutes. He was hesitant to go to a doctor. We then checked quite a few articles on the internet containing tips and advices about PE. We found one medicine from India worked and that was Himalayan Niagra. You can order it directly from their website at http://www.HimalayanNiagra.com

Good luck to all those who suffer from PE!!

Paroxetine for premature ejaculation

Submitted by Anonym (not verified) on Sun, 2008-01-13 15:41.

Paroxetine?
Did you mean Dapoxetine? If so, yes it's SSRI inhibitor.
SSRI are rather effective in fighting with premature ejaculation, but dapoxetine is still not approved because of big variety of side effects.
Hmm..
Just found info about this drug in Wikipedia.
"Double-blind studies indicated that it can also be used in the treatment of premature ejaculation. After receiving the preparation for several weeks, intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) of the study subjects increased 6-13-fold."

This is a true comment - one

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 2007-09-02 13:52.

This is a true comment - one I felt like writing for no reason other than I thought others may find it interesting to read upon haing just read the above article.

By definition my boyfriend often suffers from PE, ejaculating within 2minutes, although this time can be much longer if we then engage in further sexual intercourse soon after. I myself, find it quite flattering that he is turned on so much by me, and believe that we have a terrific sex life.

We are very communicative with each other, and often make light off the issue, making jokes about his speed.

Another point to mention is that, on times when he has lasted longer, I have found myself reaching a point where I myself am incapable of continuing, and he himself has to stop before reaching climax. I enjoy sex a great deal, whether it lasts 20seconds or 20minutes.
