Rapid ejaculation.
Rapid ejaculation, or premature ejaculatory dysfunction, is the most frequently encountered sexual complaint of men and couples. It is most common in adolescents, young adults, and other sexually naive males. Increased risk is associated with lack of sexual experience, lack of knowledge regarding normal male and female sexual responses, and with those individuals who highly associate psychological factors (such as fear, guilt, and anxiety) with sexual activity. This article provides a basic review of the pathophysiology of ejaculatory dysfunction and discusses the current treatment options for rapid ejaculation.
