What is premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation (or premature ejaculation) is the sexual disorder most common in humans. The man is unable to control his ejaculation: it occurs very quickly during sexual intercourse (between a few seconds to 2 minutes).
According to several studies, between 20 and 30% of men are affected by premature ejaculation, including 80% who ejaculate in less than 30 seconds, 10% between 40 and 60 seconds and the remaining 10% between 1 and 2 minutes.
The link between premature ejaculation and the perineum
The muscles at the base of the penis are actually the perineal muscles. By reflex, these muscles contract to be able to evacuate semen. This phase of expulsion is not controlled by the will of man but the phase which precedes this “ ejaculatory reflex » can be controlled to delay ejaculation.
