One of the more sensitive areas of discussion for men is
typically that of sexual performance. The male has the
stereotypical reputation for physical dominance and
control, and this sort of expectation can easily transfer
to matters of sexual intimacy. It's sometimes, and perhaps
often, believed and expected that the male should have the
capacity to sexually satisfy his partner most if not all of
the time. Where a male is not able to regularly satisfy his
partner, a problem of some sort is often presumed.
The problem most often defined in a male that relates to
sexual functioning is premature ejaculation. Though
premature ejaculation is not uncommon terminology, the
specific definition of what premature ejaculation is can be
difficult to pin down. What may be best accepted as the
definition of premature ejaculation is the belief by the
male and possibly his partner that the male's ejaculatory
control is insufficient. This belief in itself certainly
doesn't prove that a male has a particular poor ejaculatory
response in comparison to other males, but it does indicate
that sexual performance is a problem from that male's
perspective, which is reason enough to at least give the
situation consideration.
Males are sometimes curious about whether there's a
specific baseline with respect to ejaculation times during
intercourse. In other words, what's the average time that
males typically orgasm during intercourse. The answer to
that question may be impossible to ever answer with
complete certainty, but there have been studies that
indicate males delay orgasm following sexual penetration
for six and a half minutes on average. Six and half minutes
may or may not seem like a great deal of time, but it gives
some indication of how realistic sexual performance
expectations actually are. It should be noted that the six
and a half minute range is not an absolute standard.
In the event that a male does not make it to the six and a
half minute point prior to orgasm, it is not some form of
concrete evidence that a sexual dysfunction exists. A
better standard to use, again, may be the male's own
perception that his sexual functioning is abnormal. While a
male by himself can certainly come to the conclusion that
he ejaculates too soon, getting input from a regular
intimate partner would provide valuable insight into
whether there's actually a problem. It's entirely possible
that the male's partner may not perceive any problem with
sexual functioning at all, and that the difficulty only
lies in the male's self-perception.
In the event that an issue with premature ejaculation is
suspected, there are a number of options available to treat
the problem. Premature ejaculation is not especially
uncommon, and usually responds well able to treatment.
