Until recently, the definition of premature ejaculation is only restricted to the problem of too rapid release of sperm in men during intercourse. The absence of restrictions on “how long” a reasonable time be used as a benchmark men experience premature ejaculation can obviously cause problems in determining the diagnosis.
When having sex, time is not going to be a problem if the wife achieve orgasm within 10 seconds and you ejaculate in 15 seconds. However, the concept of “lady first” who became a benchmark far too often become a psychological burden for men (read Ejaculation and Male Impotence)
Well, the problem of this “time constraints” seems to be over. Clear definition about the time at least to be a bright spot and valuable information for men. The leading sexology expert in meeting the 103rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA) in Orlando, Florida, USA, on Monday (19 / 5), this plan would be agreed on about the limits definition of premature ejaculation.
International panel of 21 experts have created a definition of premature ejaculation is based on a review of research and in-depth discussion at a meeting in Amsterdam, October 2007.
Official definition according to the experts is as follows: “Premature ejaculation is a sexual dysfunction in men who marked ejaculation which always or nearly always occurs before or during the one minute after penetration into the vagina.”
In addition, the term premature ejaculation also be interpreted by experts as: “the inability of men to delay ejaculation during vaginal penetration and the consequences of such negative personal distress, anxiety, frustration, and avoid sexual intimacy.”
The panel also agreed that this definition can be applied to men who experience premature ejaculation during sexual activity other than vaginal intercourse. “For something that has caused profound effect on young men and older must have a definitive limit to diagnose premature ejaculation,” said Ira Sharlip, MD, a urologist from San Francisco, who also formulated a definition of premature ejaculation in the latest release of the American Urological Association.
“The hope is that more men who experience these symptoms will understand it as an actual medical condition and they are seeking treatment. They no longer need to suffer in solitude,” he said.
The Panel also notes that in their meeting in Amsterdam was not attended by representatives from industry who fear it would affect the preparation of the definition.
