Premature Ejaculation” Prevalent but Poorly understood- The facts

Premature ejaculation is a common disorder in men of all ages. Because the condition is often not reported, surveys of premature ejaculation reveal a low prevalence. Almost all males report of having had an episode(s) of premature ejaculation at some point in their lives. Generally, these premature ejaculation occur more often in the teens and early 20s and subside.

Unfortunately, for some men the problem is long lasting. The sensitive nature of the disorder means all data are underestimates as most men are unlikely to brag about this ailment.

Most data falsely indicate that the disorder is common only in Caucasians. However, because of cultural values, social taboos and lack of medical access, Blacks, Hispanics and Asians are underrepresented in most studies.

Anecdotal reports indicate that premature ejaculation is present in all cultures and communities. As men start to come out of their closets, it is becoming realized that premature ejaculation is much more common than previous estimates.
