Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation is when a man reaches orgasm before he desires, which is a common problem but may not necessarily be an issue if it does not occur frequently.
By definition, premature ejaculation occurs when a man reaches orgasm within 1-3 minutes after starting sexual intercourse, and he cannot control it almost every time, which can lead to anxiety and relationship problems.
These issues can improve with appropriate treatment from a medical professional, leading to better sexual experiences and relationships.
